You Lost Me
Speaking of addictions, Lost, like smoking, is slowly killing me. Well, it's not the killing of me so much as EVERYBODY ELSE ON THE SHOW! (Spoilers, blah blah) With Libby gone, it seems the only person who is really safe is Charlie, with his horde of hobbit fans to keep him around. With Libby and Ana Lucia dead, Sawyer Saaid and Hurley can form a bona fide support group.
I'm not sure if I can take it anymore. Stop killing interesting characters! If they wax Kate, I'm getting off the juice show. (That's an idle threat. I can't go two weeks without a new episode, or I get antsy.)
Of course, Ana Lucia and Libby, in real life, were both recently busted for drunk driving in Hawaii. Coincidence? So as long as Matthew Fox and Josh Holloway behave themselves, we might be ok.
And if you're really obsessed, there's the "alternate reality game" where you can track down people inside the Hanso Foundation. What mysteries will unfold? What questions will be answered? After last night's Hanso Foundation commercial, we have the sinking suspicion that the whole thing is going to be an extremely elaborate ad for, among other things, soda. But if that's your thing, go ahead and buy "Bad Twin" from Amazon too…

i need to stop fast forwarding through the commercials so i can catch these Hanso commercials.
I think they were originally supposed to kill Jack in the first season, but then scrapped that when they saw how dreamy Matthew Fox realy is….

We’ve been playing “name that product” while triple fast forwarding the commercials with Tivo. It’s sad how you can still get the branding in 3 seconds.
To add another early Lost factoid to the comments, the woman who plays Sun originally auditioned for Kate, and the producers loved her so much they added Sun to the script just for her.

You “lost” me on this post. (Although I’m very glad there ARE posts!) I’ve been salivating over Big Love on HBO… “Think having three wives is a dream come true? Meet Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton), a modern-day Utah polygamist who lives in suburban Salt Lake City with his three wives, seven children, and a mounting avalanche of debt and demands.” And no commercials!
