I LOVE the opening credits sequence but that song just rubs me the wrong way. We watched it for the first episode but now we fast forward through it. Just too much twang in her voice for our taste.

This season is amazing though. It's by far my favorite program on right now.

Love the song and I LOVE this season. I don't have clue one where it is going, just when I think I do it goes sideways I guess I don't really care if it ever makes total sense to me, I just am loving it anyway.

It is the perfect song I think.

So I've had it on in the background while putzing around on du.

Now I'm getting sucked in.

Fortunately I never watched Lost until I binged watched all but the last season. I watched the last season in real time.



Shaggy dog story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In its original sense, a shaggy dog story is an extremely long-winded anecdote characterized by extensive narration of typically irrelevant incidents and terminated by an anticlimax or a pointless punchline. Shaggy dog stories play upon the audience's preconceptions of joke-telling.
