Oceanic 815 -- Side by Side

LA X, Parts 1 & 2

Welcome back to another edition of The "Lost" Diary.

I love making lists -- Top 10 This, 20 Favorite That -- and I am often asked to rank to my favorite television shows of all-time. And every time I do, I leave "Lost" off entirely. See, I can't possibly judge "Lost" until it's over. The final season will dictate how I view the entire series forever. If the final season blows, I will feel like I wasted six years of my life. If it delivers, I will feel completely vindicated. So for me, tonight's episode is the beginning of how I will remember "Lost" the rest of my life.

For all you "Lost" Diary newbies, here's how it goes: I gather with a group of friends watching "Lost," writing what happens on the show as it happens, and throwing in my two cents along the way. I plan on watching the final season of "Lost" with as many new people as possible this season, but tonight I am going old school -- just me and Ari.

Let's roll ...

9:00 -- I just watched an hour-long show that was essentially a "Previously on 'Lost'" -- do I need more?

The Incident, Parts 1 & 2

Welcome to the season finale edition of The "Lost" Diary.

In the locker room before the Super Bowl, they always show the coaches giving some kind of pre-game speech to rally the troops. Really? You need a speech to get you excited about playing in the Super Bowl. Well I wasn't too into this, but now that my coach said that, let's win this thing! Come on, it's the Super Bowl!!! If you need a pep talk before the Super Bowl, you shouldn't be playing football.

I think you know where I'm going here. It's the season finale of "Lost." 'Nuff said.

For all you "Lost" Diary newbies, here's how it goes: I gather with a group of friends watching "Lost," writing what happens on the show as it happens, and throwing in my two cents along the way. I am watching tonight's episode live, with (gasp!) commercials, from my mom's apartment in Queens, as I just happen to be back in NY this week visiting friends and family. Let's roll ...

9:00 -- For all that's been going on, that was a really short "Previously on 'Lost.'"

Follow the Leader

Welcome back to another edition of The "Lost" Diary.

It actually stunned me on Wednesday when I learned two things -- 1) Next week is the season finale of "Lost" and 2) Wednesday was the series of finale of "Scrubs" (no matter what ABC decides).

Long time readers will remember I have a special affinity for "Scrubs." Simply put, I have never had as strong an emotional attachment to a show as I had to "Scrubs." It was not a comedy, and it was not a drama -- it was just a show and I think that is what drew me in. I felt like J.D. and Turk were my friends -- I wanted to buy my own stuffed dog, and I sometimes refer to people by girl's names. I have laughed as hard as I ever laughed during some episodes -- and cried like a baby during others.

I don't think I will ever encounter another show like it.

Who wants to watch "Lost"? Let's roll ...

The Variable

Welcome back to another edition of the "Lost" Diary.

So tonight's episode is being billed as the 100th episode of "Lost." Do you think the producers really care? Do you think JJ and company went "It's our 100th. We better make it good!" I don't think they care in the slightest, but either way ABC has promoed the hell out of it and being that we just had a week off, I am excited as hell. Let's roll...

9:00 -- Picking up where we last left Desmond, he's being brought into the ER. Penny gets a visit from Mrs. Hawking.

9:01 -- Back on the island, Faraday has returned and he's intent on seeing Jack and finding out how Jack got back to the island.
