Lost and Found
I complained a couple of months ago about how isolating new-fangled entertainment technologies can be and pointed to an article by Tom Coates speculating that social software could be used to address this.
Well I’m still ensconced in my BitTorrent-fueled isolation out here in the wilds of eastern Europe, but at least there is this great analysis in Salon of the season-finale of Lost. A real life-saver considering that I don’t know anyone here who watches the show except me… and it turns out I missed quite a lot.
I’m a bit concerned that Lost will end up like Alias: full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. They had a good thing going with Alias but I’m not sure that they ever had any idea of where they were going with all the mystical mumbo-jumbo. I am sure that they sold their soul in an effort to appeal more to the lowest-common-denominator potato-chip-munching beer-stained-undershirt-wearing Nielsen viewer. JJ Abrams had better not pull that crap again or I’ll, ehm, say mean things about him, right here on this blog.

Matthew, In your case, seeing which adult show you are watching at all times isn’t terribly interesting
Personally, I’m a BBC coupling fan!
