lost ended one year ago today. as did, really, any urgent desire i ever have to watch tv. even with the series finale of smallville, a show i admittedly stuck with - i had less desire to see the 10-year-long superman build up than i did the regular, weekly episode of lost. nothing compares! it's gone, and you took it from me!!

i'm currently watching the entire thing through again on the ridiculously over-the-top blu-ray collection that a client sent me. i'm a few episodes into season 5; just before the 1970s dharmaville saga. i know i've seen most of seasons 1-3 a few times, but this is only the second look i'll have season 5 and season 6.

its very 6th sense-like watching it through again and knowing how things turn out. it actually seems like a better show, at least so far, because i'm not just trying to get to the answers. i remember feeling like they wasted time or things were dragging on in across episodes, or even seasons, and i don't really have that feeling now. the stories also seem to make (a bit) more sense. like, the temple, i thought was just something they threw in there during the last season, but there are references to it as early as season 3.

also, miles is much more awesome of a character than i remember giving him credit for.
