Back at the begining of the TV season Patrick and I decided to Tivo the new show Lost because the previews made it look sort of interesting. We’ve been Tivoing it all this time and saving the episodes, but we never started watching them. Then one day we realized we’d accidentally deleted the first episode. But apparently over the winter season break, they ran it again. So this past week or so we’ve been sitting down trying to catch up. Every episode gets us more addicted. There are so many mysteries and it seems instead of solving any of them, they keep introducing new ones.

On one of the two episodes we watched last night, I thought they killed one of my favorite characters, it’s the guy who played Merry in the Lord of the Rings movies. The only other actor on the show that I’ve ever seen anywhere before is Matthew Fox from Party of Five. So those two guys and the main girl are my favorite.

The show is about the surviving passengers of a plane that crashed on an island and they are now stranded there because they were a 1000 miles of course, so people are looking for them in the wrong place. The island is a bit wacked out and that combined with the mysteries of all the people, makes for a great show.

Anyway, the reason I’m explaining all this is so that I can share a quote from Patrick as we were watching the show last night. Right when it appeared that Charlie, the character I like, was dead and I was pretending not to like the show any more, Patrick busted out with “This show is going to drive me to drink!” It was great and probably one of the funniest things he’s ever said.
