I. CAN't. WAIT!

After my long weekend, I am back to a full week of work.  The one thing getting me through though, is the return of LOST!  I had never watched LOST before, and remember thinking when it first started that it was a survivor-like drama.  I never got into it.  When Bret (a longtime huge LOST fan) returned from NZ December 2008, and over Christmas break, with nothing on television, he convinced me to just try watching the two hour pilot on DVD.  I gave in, probably out of boredom, and the rest is history.  I watched three and a half seasons of LOST in four months, which averaged to about one or two a week.  A lot of the episodes Bret re-watched with me, and it was often a marathon on the weekends.  Since I watched the episodes back-to-back, I caught lots of little details and was so intrigued by the drama, the theories, the characters, and their stories.

There were several times when people would start talking about the previous night's episode of LOST that I would have to leave the room, or beg them to stop talking, since I wasn't caught up yet.  LOST is the type of show that you have to see every episode sequentially.  It was painful to be left out, but made me even more determined to finish.  I finally caught up and was able to watch the season four finale last May!  Quite the accomplishment...I was disappointed that it wouldn't return to television until 2009.  Here in NZ, they're way behind on it and Bret and I agreed we wanted to stay in the LOST loop.  With a Christmas iTunes card we invested in the season pass, and have devoted our Thursday nights (after Survivor, of course) to LOST.  That way we are up to date, can read the blogs, and Facebook statuses won't provide spoilers!

I can't wait to see what happens!!!
