actually, I only watched the first 4 episodes before I was warned. Found out my sister-in-law has season 1, so I borrowed that, and I've watched the first 2 hours so far. be watching two a day or so for the next couple weeks.

Yes, but the problem is that you know a lot about who survives the season and who doesn't.  Oh, well--it's still a good show to watch.

Yeah, there are at least 4 important plot elements that I've already discerned. But that's ok, i'm still enjoying it.

So my roommate and I were up till 2 in the morning watching Season 2. It's a good thing I only rented the first 2 disks, or we'd have been up till 6. It's just so compelling, you have to know what happens next! We couldn't stop. We're addicted. Now I want to go tomorrow and rent the next couple! But I have homework to do. Dang.  :-/

yeah, as much as I'm enjoying season 1, I liked those first 4 hours of season 2 even more.

that's too long for a single season. Yes, there are 52 weeks in a year, but generally only twenty-something in a programming season.

erg... I think the hallucinations you'd be having at the end of that marathon would be taking more attention than the actual show.

yeah but just think of the suspense!

Did jack really defeat the evil ravaging mushroom? Or did the tile grout pay to have the omlette killed?

Ha!  I was just WAITING for that.  

The problem is, that's not the worst one.  Well, okay, it might be.  But there's one OTHER big, random, poorly-conceived problem with Season One.  You might already know what it is, having watched the beginning of Season Two.

Anyway, the first half of Season One is absolutely amazing.  The second half is, well...Tage and I joke that they must have let the interns take a hand at writing a few of the hours.

Well, I had already decided not to buy this, since I have problems watching 2 hour movies, a 24 hour story would just gather dust much of the year. And since I borrowed instead of buying, I'm goign to let it go and keep watching.

I don't remember the amnesia. Refresh my memory. It all blends together when you watch it in a marathon.
