“I don’t really talk about it in crowds anymore. Maybe I’ll make an offhand comment about Jacob or the statue or something at a party, and see if anyone in the crowd gets a glimmer of recognition in their eyes, and then I’ll know I have a fellow LOST watcher in my midst. But more often then not it’ll end awkwardly with someone saying “Oh, I don’t watch that, I tried watching it for a couple seasons, but lost interest when [smoke monster, four toed statue, polar bear, etc.],” and I’ll nod politely and agree that the show got [boring, weird, unbelievable] at some point. The reality is, I’m just as obsessed with the show as I was four years ago, and I feel like I’m being rewarded for that loyalty tonight, with the start of what I’m hoping will be an awesome season.

Perhaps I’m just sentimentally attached to the show. Do you remember where you were in your life when you started watching LOST? I’m so excited to find out what this season has in store for us loyals - the ones that suspended our disbelief and looked past all the bullshit. I’ve never been one to walk away when shit got a little weird, so I don’t mind being the girl at the party with an unhealthy obsession with LOST.”
