LOST: Spectacular Kisses, Deaths, and Funerals

After a couple straight weeks of feeling like I was on top of the world, both emotionally and physically, I came crashing down over the weekend. I’m not sure why. Anyway, ever since, I’ve been feeling a little bit like Sawyer in the picture I’ve included above.

There’s been some crazy-cool Lost news breaking while I’ve been away from the site, though. Kristen from E! Online has come out and said that the one April Fools spoiler that was true is actually good news, and that it involves one of her all-time favorite Losties. There are also whispers that Sun, Jin, and Kate may have been spotted filming scenes on the freighter, that there will be a “spectacular death” this season, and that we’re going to get at least a glimpse at the funeral of Christian Shephard.

None of this is making it any easier for me to wait until next Thursday for new episodes, so I’ve been going back in time and re-watching the show from the beginning. I’m more than halfway through season one now, and I’m guessing that I’ll get through most of season two before “The Shape of Things to Come” airs on April 24. So far, the only interesting thoughts I’ve had while re-watching the old episodes have centered around realizing that certain character’s backstories were more interesting than I remembered (Michael) and certain characters backstories were decidedly less interesting than I’d wanted to believe they were (Charlie).

What are you doing to maintain your sanity during Lost’s hiatus?
