The "Getting Lost" series is about a Lost newbie's attempts to watch all five seasons of the show for the first time, just as the sixth (and final) one rolls along.

What I Watched on Week 15: Season 5, Episodes 13-17 ("Some Like It Hoth", "The Variable", "Follow the Leader" and "The Incident")

I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt Lost's fifth season was a bit, well, blah. The first fifteen episodes or so was an exercise in just connecting things. Widmore is Faraday's father! Uh, okay. Chang is Miles' father! Uh, okay. Maybe it's just me having watched too much of the show in too short a time, but in the past few weeks I was somehow able to predict things before it even happened--well, except for that crazy idea that Faraday is his own father. That's too cartoony.

Gossip Girl is on hiatus until further notice, but at least they left us hanging with one of the best episodes of the show to date!

With Serena suffering a car crash, Chuck suffering the loss of his father all over again (and the return of his supposed-dead mother?), and Rufus and Lily about to suffer the first big blow to their marriage, we can be sure that the following preview is accurate: good things WILL come to Gossip Girl fans who can wait through this long break!

No definite word yet on whether any new episodes of Gossip Girl will air before Life UneXpected takes over its time slot for six weeks, starting January 18.

For now, this preview, which teases at least three big hookups to come, will have to tide us over.
