As some of you know, I really love my tv. I am not one of those student types that stick up their nose and declare that they don't own a tv, that they never watch tv and that in general tv is slowly poisoning the intellectual world. I think those people are really missing out on some really great entertainment. I also believe that these types are complete liars. They are like drug addicts in the bathroom snorting cocaine at a party or secretly smoking weed at home when no one else is around. When they think no one is watching, they pop down in front of the glowing television screen and watch Tyra. These people have a problem.
I love my tv. As much as I love the history channel, the food network, and PBS, I must admit that I love trashy tv just as much.America's Next Top Model, The Hills, Tori and Dean, they fill me with a electric zap of secret delight. A rush of consumer culture that leaves me wanting more and more! After all the education I am getting god dammit I deserve some mindless entertainment!
Above all else, I love Lost. Lost is not mindless but rather highly complex, with twists and turns, subplots, and strange connections. Of all the little treats in tv land, Lost is my very favorite! I can watch it over and over again (and I have). Last night marked the beginning of Season 5. Let me just say it was so so so so good! Time warps, hatches, deception, assassins, fiery bows and arrows, running away, and reunions. oh, can life get any better.
i can't wait for next week.
