Last night I settled down in front of the DVR and scrolled through the shows I had missed throughout the week. Keep in mind, most of the shows I have set to record are on NBC. Among these are Chuck, Journeyman, Bionic Woman, and LIFE. So I took my large glass of iced tea and started watching. (The iced tea was good, by the way.)
Oh, so when I started watching Chuck, being the LOST fanatic that I am, I instantly thought back to how Chuck had mentioned flight 815 in a room 23esque scene. It gave me joy to think how LOST has become a big part of our pop culture. Well, the next show was Journeyman. In this particular episode, the character is traveling back to the San Francisco earthquake of 1989. Of course, being the LOST fanatic that I am, I instantly thought of our Time Traveling dilemma on LOST. I love you, Penny. Sorry, I just had to say that in a British accent.
Well, one of my favorite shows of the week, Bionic Woman, was up next. Of course this show is about a woman named Jaime Summers who is reinvented after a car crash to become a super human. Her counterpart, Sarah Corvus, was the first bionic woman. She was shot and killed after going insane and killing 14 people, but then she was brought back. Being the LOST fanatic that I am, I instantly thought of Mikhail and his seeming invincibility. See one of my previous articles about how I think Mikhail is a robot.
This made me stop halfway through another gulp of iced tea. NBC is TAKING our LOST THEORIES and making them into halfway decent T.V. SHOWS!!!! The next show, LIFE, is all about a detective that was falsely accused and is trying to piece together his own case, while solving other cases as well. He reminds me of a Jack type character. So I may be off my rocker and just way to into the t.v. show LOST...or I'm right. I mean we have already seen NBC pay homage to LOST through the t.v. show CHUCK so we know that they know LOST exists and in a big way. I mean it makes sense to me. I was never one to watch NBC's comedy hour shows (shame, isn't it). I loved FRIENDS, but that is dead and gone. So, it makes sense that I would all of the sudden be interested in what NBC has to offer.

Well, you know what they say about flattery, CF! :-) I can see how they would ever-so-slightly want to copy or reference Lost on their shows.
On the other hand, if TPTB at Lost steal our ideas that's OK. But those other shows need to cease and desist stealing from us immediately!
My brain really must have been acting weird, because the similarities were uncanny. It's like they went through LOST theories and tweaked them to make them into television series.
