Well, I finally managed to get hold of all the DVDs of season 1 of LOST, and I’m hooked. Good characters, good story — but I really hope there’s a definite ending planned for this thing, otherwise it’ll be a waste of build-up. To my mind it has to end with either (a) the secrets of the island revealed, (b) the castaways getting rescued, (c) everyone dying, or (d) some combination of the above.
But now here’s my dilemma. Season 2 has already begun, and I can’t begin with a huge gap in the sequence. Have any of you, my friends, recorded or Tivo’ed season 2 so far? I know that the new Ipod can download episodes for like $2 — if you don’t have an Ipod, can you play it on Itunes on the computer?
I must know. Waiting for a season 2 boxset will be eternal, and I might have forgotten all the key stuff by then.
This is why I avoid TV normally.
In other news, I scored an early copy of the Devil’s Rejects unrated DVD. No time to watch it yet.
Oh, and here’s some LOST trivia for you: Emilie de Ravin, who plays the pregnant Aussie chick, was in an early, unfinished version of ROMAN, in the role now played by Kristen Bell. In that version of the movie, Kevin Ford played the lead role of ROMAN (he ended up being D.P. on the final film). I met Emilie very briefly; she was short and very blonde (lookswise, I mean, not a “dumb blonde” thing at all). And totally beautiful, as you see on TV.
