My friend Cade is sitting right next to me, and he's complaining that his name and blog URL isn't on the class site. That kinda sucks, since my name is right at the top of the list. O well, I'm sure this was just a simple misunderstanding that will be easy to fix.
So we began class today talking about how the episode of Lost we watched last class period is a microcosm of the whole show, representing everything the survivors go through during the entirety of their experiences with the island. I disagree, especially since the series gets much more complicated as events occur and different groups of people are introduced to one another. I watched literally the entire show, all 6 seasons (6 years worth of TV) in one semester during my sophomore year, so I feel like I got the whole thing in a very short time period, thus making me much more equipped to sum up the whole show than someone who had to watch it on TV. That being said, one must watch a whole lot more than just one episode in order to conclude anything about the whole series.
Personally, I think that they're going to run out of ideas for TV shows in 20 years. They're just getting so complicated now, it's impossible to be original at all. It's not that our brains have evolved as a generation, it's that the TV producers have had to come up with more and more complicated issues to talk about in their shows in order to keep their audiences. Therefore, Lost is our Gilligan's Island, and I predict there are going to be many more shows like it coming out in the next couple years. That's how shows like The Walking Dead, Dexter, and Hawaii 5-0 are coming into being, to sate the appetite of a relentless public.
Also, I just found my new favorite website: <http://foodgawker.com/>. Check it out, and try to only stay there for 2 minutes.
Off to get my bloodwork done. Ciao!
