New Obsession

Okay...we have a confession to make. Emily and I are officially obsessed with the TV show LOST. We made the decision at the start of the summer to give the series a try with season one. After testing the "waters" we fell in love with the story of the 42 surviving Oceantic 815 passengers.

Lost follows the lives of the 42 survivors from Oceantic Flight 815 that crash landed on a deserted island in the South Pacific. It is an elaborate story with several twists and turns showing how every character is interrelated without them knowing. Every survivor has something special to provide to the group and helps in piecing the the story-line together as they learn about each other. The passengers gradually discover that the island is unique and holds many secrets. We both love the show because it has something for each of us; gun fights, secret monsters, a top secret organization, psychological mind games, love stories, several deaths, and a few births.

We have now watched the first three seasons and are in the process of finishing season four, which will be complete in the next 2 days. We watch around 4 one hour episodes a night and that is if we are busy. You can get "Lost" in the show only to realize you have watched 3 of the 6 discs of a season in a single night. It is a good thing we chose to catch up during the summer and not during the school year. Season 4 is the last season available on DVD until December 8th. It is now a given that we will get season 5 and be finished in time for the start of the 6th and final season in January.
