I started watching Lost a few months ago on Netflix. And now? I have a new Least Favorite Game. It's called Let's Ask Mom Six Thousand Questions While She's Watching Lost Season 4 Even Though She Doesn't Know What The Monkeys Is Going On And We've Never Watched An Episode All The Way Through. It goes like this. I select the next episode of Lost from Netflix and watch while I clean the kitchen or fold laundry or whatever and then the Third Grader and The Girl tromp in and out of the family room a hundred times in the next 43 minutes, look at the TV for ten seconds and go hey, Mom, who is that guy? And I thought that guy died. And what's that guy doing with that? And where are they going? And frankly? I have no flipping idea who that guy is or if that guy died or what that guy is doing with that or where they're going. Because Christ on a crutch, Lost Writers, stop playing Mad Libs with the scripts. The flash forward? That's not even a real thing. What? The? Monkeys? So when they go hey, Mom, did they get rescued? I go I have no idea. And when they go why are they still on the island then? I go I have no idea. And when they go did that guy die? I go nothing because my head exploded. There's only one question I can always answer. When this guy is on and they go hey, Mom, who is that guy? I go my husband, now go away. 
It might shock you, Pranksters, that Your Aunt Becky is a weeeee bit
compulsive. Okay, stop nodding so hard – it’s giving me a headache. So I’m
compulsive....

The show is called Lost because we are when we watch it, even it we actually, you know, watch it. I am in lust with your husband. My husband is Sawyer.
I will fight you for Sayeed. Like for real girl fight. Also, I am cracking up that you are posting about Lost, like, a year after the fact. xox
I missed out on a few series of Lost, while the actual husband watched dutifully. Then I started again about 6 weeks before the end and realised that he knew no more about what was going on than I did! Fun, though
I've never seen Lost but I like your husband.
I never had any idea what was going on either. And ditto on the hot hubs. He was seriously hot.
Ladies, ladies: There is no need take to fighting when Lost had plenty of dead/mightbedead/alive potential husbands to go around. In fact you could time share with the whole flash forward thing. I think.
Problem solved.
@Lisa Wheeler Milton: *like*
In that scheme of things, I pick Charlie (was it Charlie?). While he was alive, of course. No necrophilia :P
Go watch Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love...more of Naveen Andrew goodness there...;)
It'd be easier to explain quantum physics to the younguns, wouldn't it?
LOL! I was wondering what the appeal was until the end. I've never even seen a single episode--I think I was afraid of similar confusion.
