"Lost" Season 5 Promo Reminds Audiences Why the Rest of 2008 Can Go Fellate Itself

Lost - Header

January 2009, baby! That's when the best show still airing on television returns, and I can finally stop trying to fill the void in my heart that's been caused breathlessly waiting for it to come back with the guilty pleasure that is J.J. Abrams' other show Fringe.

There was probably a 5-episode period some time ago (I believe during the first half of season 3) where people were starting to wonder if Lost had, so to speak, lost it. Did the writers really know where they were going with any of this, or were they just stalling by throwing out even more questions, in turn digging themselves deeper and deeper into a guaranteed-to-collapse hole? After season 4 though, my fears have been put completely to rest, and hopefully yours were too. As the show slowly comes to an end (the sixth season will be its last), all the pieces are finally starting to come together, and man is it satisfying to watch that happen.

Now excuse me while I freeze myself Eric Cartman-style to skip past the next couple of months.

I know that David had read my letter which was asking you about what you thought of Lost (and Nip Tuck) and you had said that you were going to hold off commentary until the season had started. Devendra had said that you would likely be doing a Lost special....I CERTAINLY hope so. I am concerned that since David is not a watcher there might not be a lot of air time dedicated speaking to the brilliance of the show. I hope suring EACH poadcast you get some time to chat about the previous and upcoming weeks of the show as it is by far, the most compelling show on TV. Perhaps a theory of the week or something. Anyways, I am with you completely and can't wait for it to kick off in just over a month. If Dave got you to like The Shield (was it that show), why can't you stir him into watching Lost? Got faith in you!
