Joining You From the Tail Section
Hello there. I'm Liz and I'm excited to be joining the ranks and entering into the communal obsession with television here at Warm Glow. You have actually caught me at a meaningful threshold in my television-viewing life. Over the past few weeks my husband, J, and I have watched season one of Lost, with a fanaticism that falls only a little short of batshit crazy obsession. We then downloaded the five episodes that have aired thus far in season two and watched those, consecutively, in one sitting. We are officially Caught Up. And according to my sources, this is a particularly good week to be caught up, as the new episode airing on Wednesday is rumored to only be slightly less exciting than, say, winning 156 million dollars in the lottery. Someone is supposed to die, and even though they are playing it up like it will be Sawyer, my money’s on the bossy new lady who Jack had a drink with or the random blond lady who befriended Michael. Am I just in denial?? Kate did have that whole "I never said goodbye" thing going on. And they did just sorta kill Boone without any warning.
Anyway, I have been shielding my ears from all Lost references for the past year so that I might not overhear a spoiler, but now all is fair game. After Wednesday, I will have officially watched my first episode along with the rest of the world and am free to speculate openly and listen to rumors about mad scientist kidnappers. And sharks with logos.

I KNOW!
Since Lost airs on Wednesday, I have fired Martha Stewart’s Apprentice from the lineup (and if we’re being honest, there was really only ever room for one Apprentice in my heart). Also no longer in contention for viewing is Trading Spouses, which, while not one of my regulars, I do watch on occasion for its share of comic gold in the form of human misery and stupidity. This week’s teaser has been this woman stampeding around screaming, “THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD!!! HER CHILDREN DON’T EVEN GO TO CHURCH!”

Can you even believe you aren’t watching it THIS SECOND?
Luckily, ANTM comes on just before Lost, so none of the model-watching will be interrupted. This is very important because we are only episodes away from the producers letting down their guards and letting us see the full crazy of Jayla, who may be the only reality show contestant in the history of TV to usurp the role of “The Whacked Out Crazy Bitch” during a freakin’ recap clip show. In addition to being a Jehovah’s Witness from Arizona, Jayla is also a Gelfling.
Anyway, I’m very much looking forward to sharing my television blather with you. After all, what good is being obsessed with reality shows and mystery islands if there’s no one there to talk to you about them?
Oh man.... Oh.... man....
I don't even know where to start. We are almost caught up on LOST, and that shark... that means... OMG.
there's this dude i play soccer with who says i remind him of this guy on Lost, but i keep forgetting to watch it. *shrug*
however, the premeire of boondocks and last night's arrested developments made me giddy with joy.
this pointless comment brought to you by the letter Q.
You found a pic of the shark!! Have you been wondering, too, how the Hanso Foundation got a shark tattooed? Just hold still now, Mr. Shark!
I too have only recently caught up with LOST. It was kind of crazy watching it for 8 hours one day...
I also avoided anything about the show but now I am wondering what is going on with that shark?!
Also, what is a gelfling? That comparison reminds me of the Wayne Rooney/Shrek thing
oh, I'm so happy Arrested Development is back. I was giggling to myself thinking about the mole/rocket pack scene.
Oh, and the google search for "Rocket Pants." 'Did you mean Rocket Packs?' Killed me.
WELCOME LIZ!!
(FYI, Liz is my BFF living in NYC with her hubby J)
...and Gelflings are from "The Dark Crystal." A Netflix nostalgia trip.
So I have a theory...
Someone said that the logo on the shark is not the same one as the logo in the underground base. I wonder if the shark is from a DIFFERENT base... the one that Desmond was in was "Swan Station", perhaps there is another base underwater...
Ok, this comment will just cement my dorkiness, but the Hanso training film did say there were 6 stations, so the logo could very well be from another station. Yet that said, considering that the image was on screen for a tiny blip of a second, the production folks could have also been being careless. Is there such thing as carelessness in Lost?
Wha? Shark? How did I miss this? And Dammit! How can I have class on a Wednesday night? WHYYY. I'm actually considering ordering onDemand from my cable provider (similar to Tivo) so I can watch Lost.
And to commenter Wise - if you look like Sawyer you can come over and watch Lost at my house.
Hey, speaking of Trading Spouses - I met the guy who had to live with the crazy lady you posted the photo of. I'm not entirely sure this is the woman, but she sure fits his description. He was a chill, hippy, radio dj who decided to trade spouses so he could use it as a soap box to talk about Bush. Has anyone seen the episodes with him? Am I talking about the same couple?
