I don't remember the details (like I said, it became dead to me) but they said that they were going to answer questions in the finale. I fully expected new questions to be raised, but they really didn't answer anything at all.

Also, I like Medium too, but it's not quite must-see for me.

I've just started rewatching S1, straight through.

Beware, O, Buffista. Watching a season straight through is akin to reading a novel, rather than the serialization of the novel. It leads one to think that the novel is the better form. Along this path lays a madness that angers the Network PTB's.

Sheryl: If Logan didn't come back next year, I would tune in twice.

Seriously, what was the Lost promise?

Didn't they swear that viewers would find out what was in the hatch in the Lost finale? Which was not technically a lie, if "a ladder" was the answer, but it's not a good idea to play those kinds of games with your audience.

Well, not that they care, but they lost at least one loyal viewer.

Now, I must take advantage of my day off and watch some Buffy. Or maybe Angel. I already watched my favorite Firefly ep. After that, I may have to go outside, as it looks like we might actually get sunshine.

They also promised (or stated) that there would be a non-supernatural explanation to everything. So far it seems unlikely, and that's not helped by their statement that they have no explanation (of any sort) for the numbers.

Oh yeah, but I think the hatch thing was specifically about the S1 finale. I read spoilers for it because of the hype, and then figured that people were gonna be pissed.

I believe that there will be an explanation that doesn't involve the supernatural. I do not believe that it will be a satisfying explanation, but they seem good enough at semantic games that they probably didn't promise that.

Strega, how do you believe they can explain the numbers without the supernatural, or do you think that not explaining the numbers counts as not involving the supernatural?

Huh. I'll have to step back a minute and evaluate. People are ticked-off at Lost.

For me, it had reached a point where it didn't interest me even enough to be disgusted with. It was like I clued into the writers not having any idea where it was going beyond the next inflection. I dropped it.

I'm not sure why I'm still watching Lost. I'll admit that I've been on tape delay the last few months, and I'm behind by two weeks. I'm worried that they're soon going to crumple under the weight of all their unanswered questions. But at least they'll all be pretty.

I'm a fan of both House and Bones, along with Prison Break (though they had an overload of HSQ in the finale. I'm loving on Doctor Who.

Oh, and HIMYM and Two and a Half Men. And Mythbusters.

Why don't I have a DVR/TiVo yet?

It's weird what I'm willing to stop poking at. I understand Prison Break's massive lack of realism, but I don't care. House, on the other hand, pushes my buttons, and I can't watch more than five minutes of it without becoming irritated. I'm willing to accept that there's a season-long arc on 24, and settle in for the ride without carping, but the season-long Veronica Mars mystery leaves me lukewarm.

I'm not going to get into discussing literary (what's the analog for TV anyway?) merit of the shows, just what will get me through an hour without dwelling to detriment on the meta.
