While I wait for my iPhone to try and fix itself, I figured now would be as good a time as any to talk about Lost. I forgot just how insanely addictive this show is, and I wasn't prepared for it in the least; some real mind benders were dropped. What we know now:
1. Six people get off the island: Of the forty-plus survivors, only a half-dozen actually return to civilization (dubbed the Oceanic Six by the media) and for some reason they all agree to lie about it? Jack, Kate and Hurley are part of that group. The other three? I'll say Sawyer and Sayid for sure. The last one I'm just not sure.
2. Jack's dad is Jacob??: Not totally sure about that, but it was definitely Christian Shepherd sitting in Jacob's rocking chair. The white sneakers, dark suit and giant forehead was enough proof for me.

I join the ranks of those suffering from the "Lost Effect"... |
The "Lost Effect"... Originally uploaded by russdogg.
I got home from work just in time to religiously watch ABC's "Lost" in HD last night. After another excellent hour, they followed it up with "Invasion", a terrible aliens-among-us show replete with sub-par acting and cheesy special effects. The main character is pretty boy Eddie Cibrian, you may remember him from ESPN's lame duck poker drama Tilt. Half way through it, I realized I knew ALL the characters and storylines. How was this possible? It then dawned on me that I had watched EVERY episode, since it comes on right after the best show this season. Lost is just that good; so good it puts me in a drooling trance for another hour. It could have been test patterns or re-runs of that "Steve Urkle" show, and I would watch still it with a zombie expression, mouth agape. I dub this the "Lost Effect". I can't be the only one afflicted by this, can I? Are there millions suffering out there?
