Lost on TV, Lost Interest
So, a few years back when Lost first aired, I didn’t care. I am not much of a TV watcher and so I don’t believe that I even knew it existed until someone else (a friend) told me that it was possibly the “Best Show Ever”. Mind you, I am currently using that previous term in the most loosest and quote-like sense possible. I was told this “quote” back right before the second season was due to air and required upon my friendship with said quoter to watch the entire first season so that I could become a member of her “Lost Circle”.
What can a girl like me do? I gave into the peer pressure because I want to be socially accepted by my peers and I have no life. In the course of five grueling days, I had watched all 26 forty-one minute long episodes of the first season. Five days. Get that through your head. Five days of nothing but watching Lost. Let’s calculate the amount of time i spent on watching Lost in five days:
-the entire watching period covered 1066 minutes
-that means it was 17.76 hours of pure entertainment pleasure
-I watched (on average) 5.2 confusing and beguiling episodes a day
That’s a lot of Lost. And, honestly, I loved it. I hate sitcomy shit. I don’t like the generic comedy shows. I like me some cartoons and some funny weird stuff and I loved me some Lost. Please note the past-tenseness of the last statement.
