It’s time to get LOST… literally.

The final season of Lost is about to start today… and thank god it is the last season. It mystifies me how they stretched this show into 6 seasons… not because it’s a bad show, it’s actually pretty good, but the story line was not made for 6 seasons.

I was an avid Lost watcher from season one. The storyline and the cast were awesome (Evangeline Lilly is SO sexy), but then it was as if the writers of the show were like “oh shit, they actually like this show. What do we do with the plot now?”

There were so many unanswered questions to the show, like what was with the 4 toed statue? The polar bear? The numbers that had to be entered repeatedly? The black fog? I know they tried to answer some of these, but are you really gonna tell me that “the Others” were able to control a black smoke by flipping a switch? Give me a break.

I stopped watching the show a few seasons ago when they incorporated a time machine and teleportation. I might be Asian, but I don’t like that Sci Fi bullshit, and I thought this made the story line completely unbelievable so I called it quits. I was literally LOST.

Recently to my surprise, I’ve heard from lots of avid LOST watchers that the show is worth a second chance. I'm gonna rewatcha few episodes and watch tonight... I'm hoping this show goes out with a bang.




The class of the new TV season is not LOST, however. That honor would go to two newcomers, Underbelly (Direct TV's 101 network) and Spartacus (Starz).

I’ve been looking forward to these shows for quite some time now, and they have finally arrived. Underbelly is ready to debut on Wednesday, February 3 and will air every Wednesday at 9pm Central.

Underbelly has been called "the Australian Sopranos" and is based on real events in Melbourne, Victoria, between 1995 and 2004. It tells the story of the gangland war, known as the Melbourne gangland killings, between rival factions of Melbourne's criminal underworld. It’s basically a television adaptation of the movie Blow, so I can’t wait.



Spartacus looks like the movie Gladiator in a mini series. I watched the pilot episode (one of the few perks to having DirectTV) and I was pretty impressed. Not only did it resemble a softcore porn with the amount of nudity in it, the fight scenes were intense. It's your typical Gladiator story... dude's family gets captured/killed and he is forced into slavery. blah blah blah he's forced to fight as a Gladiator and instead of going down like a chump, he kicks ass. Sounds good to me... it's worth a chance.
