Ok, as it turns out, after that last blog posting, ABC did send a follow-up email saying that it would - indeed - have to kill me if I gave up any plot details to this Thursday's two-hour "Lost" premiere.
This then leaves me with two options. 1.) Not give up any details, in the interest of personal safety, or; 2.) Give up some stuff but make it so oblique and obtuse that even ABC would have a hard time in court justifying the elimination of a TV critic (even though most courts are favorably disposed to actions of this sort.)
I'm gonna go with Option No. 2. Why bother (you ask)? Because this is "LOST" - the only scripted show left on TV, with maybe a "House" here, or a "Prison Break" there. What am I supposed to? Sit on my hands and pretend I haven't SEEN THE FIRST HOUR?! (which I have.)
Bottom line: It's good, very good. Anyway, without further ado, herewith some visual clues to the first hour of "Lost," back Thursday. At first glance, they may make no sense. At second glance, they make no sense. But trust me, each has something to do with Thursday's biiig show... (And assuming this doesn't bug you TOO much, I'll post clues to the second hour later.)
1.)That's right - lemons.
2.)Sweet ride. (Or was.)
3.) Thursday's key storyline centers on...
4.) Great movie - but who's crazy and who isn't?
5.) Can you, ummm, follow a lock? hmmm
6.) He's alive! Uhhhh, no, he's not. Or is he? Or...
