RL update and TV stuff

Spiegel.de writes about Lost.
The weather today was wonderful. I was the perfect mom. I even wrote a bit, pushing my Spike/Ethan fic to 2400 words. Yay me.

I just watched the pilot for Eyes. Can't decide if I like it or not. Am downloading the new Kojak - unless you all tell me not to bother. Is anybody else watching Blind Justice? It's got potential, I think. The acting seems decent enough, the cast is pleasant to look at. I always liked stories/movies about blind characters. I wonder why. Top of the list: Rutger Hauer in Blind Fury, Daredevil, and Audrey Hepburn in Wait until Dark.
*Yawn* Bedtime for Bonzo me. Toodles.

Lost

What did you think about Lost then? I thought it was pretty cool, went in some unusual directions, direction and camera work was okay. Seems to me (although after an hour its a little early to be sure) that this is a mini-docu-soap on American culture. All the main players seem to be there; teen pregnancy, gun culture, drug and alcohol abuse, alienated cultures in the shape of an ex-Iraqi soldier and a couple from Korea who can't speak the language. Even single parents and obesity made a showing.

Nice touch at the end where they heard a scary message on the radio and it was from.... The French... :)

I will watch this again next week to see where the writers take it. At the moment they are heading towards a mix of character/culture clashes and spooky monster in the dark stuff...
