That's the trouble with these things

Okay, so Paul Dini just joined the writing staff for Lost, giving the show the best group of writers on television to a seriously ridiculous degree. Past shows represented now include Batman Adventures (Dini), Buffy & Angel (David Fury), Alias and Felicity (JJ Abrams) and The Shield (Kim Clements.) If you're not already watching this show you need to start, like tonight. Here's what you need to know about past episodes to fully get into it: Nothing. They're trapped on an Island and something weird might be going on to keep them there. That's like, the whole set-up. If you need more background then that try the episode guides. Also you can check out the fansite, if you want to go deeper. Just watch, though. The best show on TV is gonna be around awhile, and you don't want to have nothing to contribute at the watercooler.
