My comment was original when I wrote it. 5 minutes later, still not posting and half a dozen posts with similar comments appear before mine.

Just wanted to point that out before someone tells me to "Read all the posts before I run my mouth."

I know it's supposed to be kinda Emo, kinda dead pan kitchy-cool with subtle comic, low-key overtones, but she just erks me.

She also did a "Lost: in eight minutes" Same treatment.

(I'm sorry to nitpick, and I usually don't, but her delivery just ass-chapping)

I'm not sure if that's a good sign or if I need to add more songs to my playlist.

I recently got a Samsung 40-inch HDTV, so I'm looking forward to April. I only wish I got SciFi in HD. Comcast = evil.

And I go Defamer > Consumerist > io9 > Kotaku (mostly because of a newfound interest in video games thanks to aforementioned TV)

Did anyone else pick up that this is a parody of the 8:15 ABC created summary of the first 3 seasons of Lost or am I stating the obvious?

And yeah I'm also really psyched, i might start watching again. I stopped at s03 i think, to much drama.

Oh, and they should definitely play this as a real recap, it would hook everyone back in.
