Lost: Now 25% More Goofy!


In case you missed the season premiere of Lost last night, I just wanted to inform you that it's become the goofiest show in the history of television. Goofier than The Prisoner, goofier than Small Wonder, even goofier than Woops!, a sitcom about nuclear holocaust. Nope, Lost takes the cake.

First, we're led to believe that the show takes place in the present, with occasional flashbacks to reveal the backgrounds of the characters. Then, we learn that the whole show has been a flashback, with occasional flashes into present day. Now, the show is occurring in (at least) two different time periods: one in the present and one two years ago.

That doesn't even take into account all the other crazy shit that has happened on the show. When Hurley briefly summed up the first four seasons to his mother during the second of last night's episodes, it made me realize how preposterous this show actually is. I've seen every episode and actually understand what's going on, and I'm still confused as hell.

Still, it's a sign of good TV that even though a show is as perpetually goofy as Lost is, I can't wait for the next episode to air. We'll see what craziness happens next week.
