Bill Simmons on The Killing - Grantland: "You can't even calculate the amount of time we wasted watching/talking/dissecting a show that, fundamentally, sucked to watch. "
I recommend the Danish version! Season 2 is incredible. Say what you will about Lost, but it was always fun to watch.
I find it infuriating that I ACTUALLY MISS THIS SHOW. This subway-styled map of the island (from johncabrera.com) sucked me right back into the feeling of fuzzy nostalgia and confusion. My eyes automatically go to the lower-right quandrant of my part of Brooklyn (??) to discover, SADLY, that both Mr. Eko DIED and the VW Bus was discovered in my hood. ...BUT ITS NOT EVEN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. This map isn't real, and the show isn't real, and I still feel really bitter about how much we invested into being fans of this show and how little the last season rewarded us. It's the first time I ever became a near-true FAN of any show (even going so far as waking up at 5AM to watch them BEFORE my LOST-o-phile coworkers spoiled the plot) and I can't help but to look back on it like a crummy ex-boyfriend. You guys, why did we LIKE him so much?!?
"Finally, a purpose for those damn "Lost" numbers -- because if you played the same cursed digits that Hurley used on the show ... you could have walked away with $150 in last night's Mega Millions lottery."
...last week, J.J. Abrams and frequent collaborators Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec (Alias, Mission: Impossible 4) began pitching a comedic drama to the networks that would have Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn — a.k.a. Benjamin Linus and John Locke/Smokey — playing former black-ops agents.
