I've
been a diehard fan of "Lost" from the very first episode and though there have
been some stumbles here and there (especially Season 2), it's a fantastic show
that has hooked me and won't let go. Last night's third season premiere was a
little clunky -- I'm so tired of Jack's complexes -- but it had a great
opening and it began to shed some light on the Others, who have captured Jack,
Sawyer and Kate. Who are these people? And why do they have a cozy little
neighborhood tucked away in the middle of a mysterious tropical island? And what
do they want with Jack, Sawyer and Kate?
For answers -- or at least some opinions and suggections on possible answers --
I go to one particular source: Filmfodder.com, .
If you do watch the show, then do yourself another favor and check out
Filmfodder, a great pop culture and entertainment site (which I wrote for in the
past on a few occasions). Filmfodder's master and commander Mac Slocum does one
hell of a job staying on top of all the rumors, casting news, Web site stuff and
other junk that makes up the "Lost" universe. And his "Lost Blog," which
features an amazingly detailed summary of every episode the day after it airs,
is a true delight. A lot of other Web sites and magazines have caught "Lost"
fever and done their own blogs and episode guides, but I still think Mac's work
is head and shoulders above the rest -- well written, insightful, hilarious, and
irreverant. I read the "Key Points from..." episode summaries, even if I've
watched the entire episode already, because you never know what other people
might pick up on in a show as complex as "Lost." So if you're a fan, give it a
look. It's great stuff.

Points from "A Tale of Two Cities" on Filmfodder's "Lost Blog."
