[apocalypsos]

Ain't It Cool News interviewed one of the creators of Lost, and when asked to name the greatest TV shows of all time, among a list of about twenty, he named Misfits of Science. Damn it all to hell, I love this man for that, and I haven't even seen his show. (And he talks about The Stand like someone who's got a dog-eared copy on his nightstand. *whimper* Marry me?) (EDIT: "Does anyone ever start websites to KILL shows? Shouldn't there be a "Cancel Seventh Heaven" website or something? Now THAT I would be into." HA! No, seriously, marry me?)

I called home before to ask my mother something about Christmas this year and discovered Bryan was the only one home. He told me he was going out drinking with his friends. I jokingly told him not to binge drink, and he laughed and answered in all seriousness, "Not after the last time." *growls, spontaneously generates the superhuman ability to throttle someone while several hundred miles away*

EDIT: I forgot to mention having this conversation with three different guys at workyesterday, when my stomach was seriously killing me, but I'd love to know why some guys just don't know when to stop.

(Guy notices me wincing.)
Guy: "You okay?"
Me: "No. My tummy's just bugging me."
Guy: "Really? Did you eat something bad?"
Me: "No."
Guy: "Stomach flu?"
Me: "No."
Guy: So, what's the matter?"
Me: *stares, in that put-two-and-two-together-dumbass way*
Guy: "What?"
Me: *contemplates lying about an alien infestation in my midsection*
Guy: "What's wrong?"
Me: "Well, let's see. My tummy hurts, and I'm a woman."
Guy *after far too long a pause* "Ohhhhhh ..."

Yeah, oh.

I want to see _Lost_ but I keep missing it. :( Does anyone know if there's a fan website for it yet- maybe one where I could go read plot summaries of the first few episodes? I don't even know what day the show premiered. Damn, I shouldn't have gotten so out of touch with TV over the summer. :(

Here's the summary of the first two episodes:

Plane crashes. Technical shit happens that wouldn't happen in reality. Something really weird that makes scary sounds eats two or three people. Then something that shouldn't be on the island (but at least is scientifically possible, unlike much of the show) shows up.

I learned this from rec.arts.sci-fi.written.

There is a site, but I don't have the link with me. Will get it to you when I get home.

I do have the pilot on tape if you'd like to borrow it.:D

Television Without Pity ( http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com ) is recapping it. You get a solid amount of detail, but you also get snark and mockery. Of course, for some of us, this only enhances the experience.
