My New Addiction: Lost

Somehow I always join the latest revolution in television programming a few years late. Back in 2003, Josh West introduced me to 24 somewhere during season three. I loved it, proceeded to borrow the boxed sets of seasons one and two from Blockbuster and Josh, respectively, and have not missed a live episode since then.

So a few weeks ago I was perusing the selection at my local Blockbuster and saw a rack full of DVDs from the first few seasons of Lost. Being that there was nothing else jumping out at me, and remembering that Josh mentioned being a big fan and trusting his taste in television programming, I took the plunge and after a few days I had watched seasons one and two.

I was hooked, evidenced by the fact that only moments after watching the season two finale, I had already purchased a season pass from iTunes for season three (the Lost Season Three DVD set doesn’t come out until December, 2007). Within a few days I had watched the entire season, and am now waiting anxiously for the start of season four (in February)!

So for now I’m stuck watching season three again, which since I already paid iTunes for it I figure why not! I haven’t quite reached the point where I add a Lost Season 4 countdown widget to my dashboard, but you never know what might happen in the next few months!
