I’ve been a bit neglectful of the internet this week because I started watching LOST again when I got bored last weekend. Just to explain, the first three seasons of LOST are available on TV on Demand on Virginmedia cable so I can pretty much watch the eps whenever I want.

I fell out of love with the series before the first season had ended because I hated the direction it seemed to be following. In the beginning, it intrigued me when it was just about the survivors of a plane crash, trying to make the most of a bad situation and planning on how to be rescued. I didn’t even mind the supernatural stuff that was sprinkled in to add a dash of danger but what I didn’t like was the fact they started falling over all these other people.

After coming to the end of S3, my opinion of the show hasn’t changed and I’m afraid it is way too repetitive for me. The flashbacks were an interesting gimmick in S1 but they irritate the hell out of me in future seasons. I also hate the whole Dharma Initiative thing and the introduction of Ben and the rest of them. Instead of intriguing me, most of the mystery elements irritate me.

So, why am I bothering to watch at all? Two words… Josh Holloway. Yes, the sexiness of Sawyer has finally hit me despite my best efforts. As soon as the Southern drawl starts, I melt into a puddle of goo. There is just something so compelling about a bad boy with a good heart.

In conclusion, I watch LOST for all the wrong reasons but who cares when Sawyer takes off his shirt and starts chopping firewood?
