janne_dFinally, I have got around to watching the second and third episodes of Lost that I taped last week. I wasn't convinced that all the hype was justified from just having seen the first epi, but I am on board now - it's well good and the gradual getting to know the characters is very interesting. Plus, invisible monsters and randomly appearing polar bears? Count me in.
I can also see why everyone has been going on about Sawyer - just on looks so far as he's one of the ones we haven't seen much of yet - but what I would like to know is why no-one is raving about Naveen Andrews as Sayid? Now there is a gorgeous man who I haven't seen anything of for ages, probably not since The English Patient. And for those slashaholics out there, he was also the star of The Buddha of Suburbia and had a nice little sex scene with Steven Mackintosh...
In other good news, Tales of the City is getting a UK DVD release and as any dS fans (especially those who've read Shadows Fade by AuKestrel and Kellie Matthews) will know, one of the characters was played by Mr. Paul Gross. Since it came out in 1993, I haven't actually seen it myself, but I did watch More Tales of the City a few years later and, despite PG having moved on to other projects by then, I remember it as being pretty entertaining so I'd guess the first one would be worth a look. Sexual shenanigans in seventies San Francisco. Sweet.
The series of 6 books by Armistead Maupin that it is based on are also very good, btw.
