I'm Lost, Are You?

Matt and I are getting waaay into Lost, ABC's new-ish show about survivors of a plane crash stranded on a tropical island. I know some of the rest of you are watching--hell, I think at least a third of the country is.

So tonight's episode: I was pretty sure I knew what the song was when Shannon started singing it. Being the big dork that I am, I went to the show's website and checked into one of the message boards. I was close, but not dead-on. It's a French song called "La Mer," but the tune is the same as that of "Beyond the Sea," by Bobby Darin.

I don't know what that means, but I was proud that I got that much out of it. My one complaint about the show is that it seems like nothing is getting resolved. Each episode has a whole new wrinkle to the plot and mystery runs rampant, but we never have any resolution. It's driving me nuts.
