Thursday, September 23, 2004 Our next topic will be "How does Spongebob Squarepants keep his grill lit underwater". Do we really have a problem with the engine running? We watched ABC's Lost tonight. I have to say that it hooked me. I really didn't know that much about it beforehand beyond that it was a plane crash on an island. In fact that was pretty much the sole reason I tuned in last night. To see that damned plane crash. But we don't see the plane crash. Damnit. I assumed it would start on the aircraft, but it didn't and I have to say that I liked that. It starts with Matthew Fox on the ground already, apparently having been thrown from the crash and then he runs and it all gets dizzy as you realize it's already happened. There's a wild sense of confusion with that and I imagine it's what you would think if you had survived such a crash. What the fuck just happened? It looks like they'll show us the crash in flashbacks. We got part of it, but not the whole thing. Looks amazingly scary. Of course, we don't get the whole thing because ABC in it's wisdom decided the pilot episode should decidedly not be a 2 hour event. Nope. We need the 9-11 slot for The Bachelor! Seriously, what is wrong with network executives? Right, they're biomechanical superdroids from the future come back in time to make my life as inconvenient as possible. Yeah, they got an agenda. It's not vicious or anything, it's just annoying. Because in the future, they're bored. Anyway, after the plane crash I was pleasantly surprise to see there is "something" on the island with them. Whatever it is, it appear to be very big. Trees get toppled, there's spooky roaring in the distance. Yet no footprints. Or is that an effect of television? The worst thing about TV is you can never be sure at the outset of Did They Mean It? Or Did someone fuck-up? I love supernatural garbage like that. Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis, Lemur... Remember In Search Of...? That was my favorite show as a kid. So this, as it appears now, plays right to that little kid in me. I can't stop obsessing over what it could be (for the love of God, please don't be the dog). So after the show I start surfing the boards and there a few people there slamming it even before it started (time-stamp, everyone). Okay, what's that about anyway? You got nothing better to do than surf every board and post the same drivel everywhere? Dude, get a hobby. But one of the odder threads was about the engine still running. It really went on and on back and forth about why it could or could not be. It really got ridiculous. One guy even claimed to be a mechanic or an engineer and went into great details about why it wouldn't be working. Seriously, who needs a life? Okay, apparently me. posted by Evil Wayne | 1:30 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
