Random Notes

"Two players. Two sides. One is light, one is dark."
I've been having a Lost marathon these past two weeks. I blazed through the first season over the course of a weekend, spent last week watching the second season a few episodes at a time before work, and then finished the third season late Sunday night.

My goal is to get completely caught up before the series finale. I'm probably shooting myself in the foot by doing this, since I'll be working at the newspaper when the finale airs and will almost certainly have everything spoiled when I put the story on the entertainment page. It'd probably be better to go through that without having a context for what I'm reading.

I still think the first season is one of the best ever made for television. They lost me during the second season because it felt like they were spinning their wheels, and that couldn't compete with Final Fantasy XI. I enjoyed the second season a lot more this time around, knowing they were actually going somewhere with it.

I'm creeping through the fourth season this week now that I have Pokemon SoulSilver to distract me, but I'll likely marathon through them this weekend.
