Don't worry, this isn't some weird LOST/Star Wars Crossover... Look what numbers came up on the lottery: bit.ly/gpShex

It's entirely unremarkable. Sure their numbers came up, but isn't the whole point of the lottery to tax stupid people be the only person with that specific string of numbers when it comes up? Still, a wins a win no matter how you look at it. Never actually thought I'd see Game Theory in a practical context.

That is IMMENSE as far as I'm concerned!
(I only got to season 2 before they moved it to Sky, which I don't have. I have the 3rd season on DVD and should probably watch it at some point...)

No! No you don't! Read the synopsis for the next four seasons online, feel jaded for about ten seconds then be thankful you didn't waste what would have effectively added up to an entire week of your life. If after that, you still feel like you need to destroy those precious grains of sand in your particular hourglass, why not smoke a cigarette or something? At least that way the soul-crushing dependency that will always result in unfulfillment and alienation from those you hold dear will have the added bonus of contributing to the economy through tax. Not to mention you'll look a hell of a lot cooler than anyone who still maintains that Lost was a good show that was well thought out and cleverly written with a clear plan from the very beginning as opposed to a steaming pile of tropical polar bear dung.
I'm going to go watch one more Zero Punctuation and stop for a very long time because it appear to be affecting me in ways I like a little too much.

I don't know what Zero Punctuation is but what you just said there is making me think "Er... " But, if I don't watch it, that'll be a waste of money for the person who bought it. Also, I'm curious to know how they get off the island the first time. NB. My friend borrowed them off me and watched them and I still haven't!

Zero Punctuation (n). The name of a series of short video game reviews in which the narrative voice rarely stops for any form of breath, pause, or punctuation, as he rapidly describes everything he despises about the title using colourful metaphors and even more colourful visual aids. For an introduction to it, look at the review he did of Left4Dead, the oh so hilarious zombie game that Heather just loves... www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/459-Left-4-DeadOr, if you prefer to watch a review of a game you know well, look at the Sims 3 review, though be warned: It will put you off ever watching another Zero Punctuation ever again. www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/800-The-Sims-3

Shhh. Watch season three and pretend it ended at the end there. After all, you must see more of Desmond. And the epicness that is Desmond and Charlie for that entire season. AMAZING.
I'm with Pete on the rest, though. Eugh, Lost, what happened to you?!

Haha!
This is exactly why I don't play The Sims 3. Well, that's a lie. The main two reasons are that I don't have the time and that I don't know where it is. Plus it's my sister's. Oh, and I'd have to install it onto this laptop and I can't be bothered.
Oh, and what happened to Lost was that the producers/companies thought they had a really good thing cause it was so popular to begin with so they chained the writers to a desk and demanded they come up with more seasons, even though the writers believed they had ended their story.

Actually, ... I just opened up a box that looked like it wanted me to code the website. Anyway, as I was saying, it seems more like the writers came up with a damn good beginning but had no idea where it was going. When it finally came time to end the franchise they decided to trawl the internet forums dedicated to predicting the shows end and pick the one that seemed most likely whilst simultaneously being the one that they themselves had denied the most. And I don't care if Mythbusters proved that you can in fact polish a turd, at the end of the day you've still got a glossy lump of shit.
