... GIVE BACK MY BRAIN CELL.

I was describing it today as "Lost is Gilligan's Island crossed with the crappy AMC remake of The Prisoner".

I read somewhere that Terry O'Quinn describes it as "The Mysterious Gilligan's Island of Dr. Moreau."

I've been calling it "Twin Peaks on Hawaii."

I also called it "a cross between The X-Files and Survivor" but i didn't like that one as much.

It's a cross between that crappy mysterious TV show from the 80's that never resolved itself, and that other crappy mysterious TV show from the 90's that never resolved itself. If you can imagine some activity, any activity really, and now imagine doing it while suffering from altitude sickness at 12,000 feet, then that activity is more worthwhile of your precious time and energy than watching _Lost_.

There. You now know everything that is important to know about _Lost_.

Never having watched

more than about 15 minutes of it, and having read some commentary this morning, I have to think it's more like Gilligan's Island crossed with the Divine Comedy's First Circle of Hell, minus Bill & Ted.

I asked my dad about it when it was first on (since he was watching it), and he said, "Eh, it's the Prisoner for retards." That was enough for me.
