Gentle Sir Philip Sidney, thou knew'st what belong'd to a scholler; thou knew'st what pains, what toil, what travail conduct to perfection.

Lost
We missed the one about Locke last week, but caught the surpassingly strange one this week. What was that all about?? It seemed like a Twilight Zone episode!
I know folks are mad because the show isn't as "good" as it once was. Fair enough, but I've never been one to be turned off simply because a program or a movie isn't perfect. . . I figure, if you enjoy it, watch it. It's TV; it's a confection, and still a he** of a lot better than watching 90% of sitcoms, or soap-opera-cum-hospital shows, or game shows, or so-called 'reality' programming. And at least there is a story being told, no matter how convoluted, incoherent, etc.
I just thought it was funny that we missed an important plot point and caught a completely tangential episode.
"I am grown at length to see into the vanity of the world more than ever I did, and now I condemn myself for nothing so much as playing the dolt in print . . . . There is nothing that if a man list he may not wrest or pervert. I cannot forbid any to think villainously, Sed caveat emptor, let the interpreter beware; for none ever heard me make allegories of an idle text."

The Buzzard and I are several weeks behind, but in not following faithfully, I haven't felt like I was missing anything.
And then there was Ickenham's (http://themonocle-cac.blogspot.com/)"Get Lost, Lost" post on 1 March.
We'll catch up eventually, but -- it's a jj abrams show. Color me surprised.
