OMG THE NINE

I watched ANTM while having an arguement with the husband. I didn't miss much. The arguement was at least somewhat productive and ended well before Lost.

We wouldn't fight during Lost. Like, duh.

Lost was really good. But it's The Nine that I thought about all night, thought about when I went to bed, thought about in the shower before work. I'm -still- thinking about The Nine, and I don't know if it's because it's just new or because it is actually that compelling. The tag line - 'What happened in there?' - is freaking brilliant because that is ALL I WANT TO KNOW. What happened to Felicia? What made them so close? Why did they want to protect one of the hostage takers? Questions on questions on questions, and I will personally look forward to figuring them out... but I worry that online fandom will do what they did to Lost, which is 'They don't tell us anything, this show sucks.' I hate that attitude - first, it's a character drama, so obviously whatever backstory we get will have more to do with character than events or grand conspiracy. Next - how the hell is a show supposed to remain interesting if we know everything up front?

Anyway, I wish I'd taped The Nine, 'cause wow. I could watch that a few times.

Lost was good, but it was a quiet opening - not a bad thing, just different. It seemed to show that the Others have their own issues that might work for the Lostaways they now have. My main question was: what are they doing with them? The husband said they're breaking them, but to what end? Why?
I know that answer isn't coming any time soon, but I like to think about it, which is why I like Lost and The Nine - and other shows like it - so much. I get to think about filling in the blanks.
