I’ve been distracted by Grand Theft Auto for the past week, but I did want to take a break to write about the most recent Lost episode. After reading the description in my Google reader, I knew it was going to be an episode of filler, but wondered what curve ball the creators would toss at me. Turns [...]

An advantage to the truncated season of Lost due to the writer’s strike is that each of the remaining episodes will likely be filled with a fast moving plotline.
