A couple interesting things I stumbled across today

Buffy doing a Burger King commercial. She's hardly recognizable, but still awfully cute!

One disgruntled Lost fan writes a letter to the producers. I agree with some, but not all of his criticisms. If you're a huge Lost fan this will not amuse you, but it is still interesting.

More Lost... action figures! I think all but the Kate one look remarkably realistic.

Hey, that letter wasn't as bad as I feared when I read your intro for it! I actually agree with many of his points, despite being a longtime follower of the "Let the show reveal the mysteries at its own pace" philosophy. You can tell the letter writer is passionate about the show, and not simply slamming it because it's popular (a common enough approach for anything that gets a following). I think the writers and producers could do worse than to follow at least a few of the 10 tips he provides. My personal faves were: limiting the # of new characters added, and showcasing the 'background' characters a bit more. I strongly disagree with his suggested elimination of the flashbacks, as they're consistently among my favourite part of most episodes. I agree some have been redundant (Michael's 2nd was a terrible example) but the right answer is to continue to unravel the characters' personalities through flashbacks (among other devices), not simply re-tell what we already know.

Only a little less than 48 hours to go now! I should stop tying and finish re-watching those last 2 Season 2 episodes now!
