"Lost" In Time

So, I am officially the last person on Earth to start watching "Lost."

My early decision to not watch "Lost" was based on several criteria:

• I was angry that J.J. Abrams was getting all kinds of attention for this show and not for "Alias"
• It was just too "water cooler" for me
• I had given up watching TV for the summer
  
• I had rented and watched the pilot last year and found it weird and off-putting

But, I decided to give it another try. In the last week, I have absorbed all of season one and about seven eps of season two. And now friends are telling me season four starts on Thursday! So, my work is cut out for me: finish season two, and tackle three before Thursday. I know what you're thinking: That is impossible. But, this is not my first time playing DVD catch-up.

Several years ago, I Netflixed the first episode of Alias when it was mid-season-four on ABC. In about two weeks, I was caught up AND had "found" the 6 season four episodes I missed on the Internet. Now it should be clear why I simply cannot fit in exercise.
