I deliberately chose not to pursue watching the show Lost when the season began. I know how JJAbrams can work his magic on me and I knew I didn't have time for another tv addiction. But it just so happened that choir practice was cancelled and I was home with the kids in bed when they decided to re-air the first two episodes (I smell a consipiracy), and I gave into the temptation. I loved it. The wonderful thing is that Stephen really liked it, too. I think a lot of the problem Alias had with ratings last year was poor marketing. There were too many reruns and too many pre-emptions. Times where you might get a new ep, two or three reruns, then another new ep. It was too disruptive. No one really knew when to tune in for a new ep. This move on the part of ABC is nothing less than brilliant, to air two eps of Lost back to back for the next three weeks. It allows those of us who haven't been watching to catch up, and gets all those Lost viewers used to watching both time slots, so they will (of course) become Alias viewers when Alias takes the 9pm time slot. So we're hooked. The kids are just gonna have to be in bed early on Weds, and no more chit chat after choir practice for me!

BUT, we stayed home from Wed night church a couple weeks in a row when Isaac was wee and watched Lost. Oh, yeah. All it takes is giving in once or twice and you're hooked. With our church there's no hope for us getting home by 8. I guess we'll record it and watch it Thursdays with The Apprentice while we're already giving in to The Man. >sigh

You might thank me later. ;) Oh, and in Season 1 of Alias, The Man turned out to be Irina Derevko, Sydney's long lost mom. Or did she? (insert evil laugh here)
