Introductions and expectations

Hi.


I believe that Lost is the best tv show ever.  I know that it's not really possible for a show to be the best show ever, the world and the English language don't work like that.  But, I do believe that Lost is the best tv show ever.  Let's call it a leap of faith.


In terms of credentials up front, I should also say that I don't hate the Matrix trilogy because I applaud the attempt.  What they did with the Matrix was try to create a brand new mythology that was a) for the big screen in its first inception, and not originally a novel, tv show, stand up routine, comic book or, heaven forfend, fairground ride; and b) not based on a previous genre, in the way that westerns bastardise samurai movies and sci-fi bastardises westerns.  Secondly, what they tried to do was create a new mythology based not upon a physical adventure, but upon philosophy.  The fact that they weren't 100% successful in creating a trilogy that was watchable in the conventional sense of the word goes some way to explaining, perhaps, why no one had attempted this before.  If not why the Warchowski brothers were bullied throughout school.


So, that para was more about me that Lost, but may give an indication of what this blog will taste like.  (Reductive and simplistic? - Caz's inner self-critic.)


I should also make it clear that I am the kind of girl who will only think of snappy, coolly cross-referential titles for her blog only days and days after they have been posted.  So, sorry about that.  Also, I watch Chuck, so now we all know that I am easily swayed by a pretty face especially when supported by a 6-foot-plus snake-hip frame and a willingness to use tongue in screen kissing.


Yeah, so, in short, I am your worst nightmare, an semi-intellectual fan girl with a theory and a lot of time on her hands.
