lost-01-25-06a.jpgGrowing up, one of my favorite shows was Patrick McGoohan’s The Prisoner. It was an allegorical sixties show where a Bond-like secret agent is captured and sent to a resort-like internment camp called the Village. He is given a number and interrogated by his captors about what he knows, all the time not knowing who they are or what they want. The show was originally designed with a seven episode story arc, but when the networks asked for more episodes so they could market it overseas, they threw together ten more “filler episodes.� Why am I blathering about a 30-year-old British TV show in a Lost recap?

1. Any Lost fan would love The Prisoner (rent the DVD's. You won't be disappointed.)

2. This week's Lost is a perfect example of one of those filler episodes where we spend an hour learning about Charlie's drug addiction, his brother and his freaky obsession with Claire's island baby, and not much else.

But first lets hit the net and see whats brewing.

For those who think they know everything there is the daily Lost quiz here.

Some guy cobbled together a complete Lost timeline starting with the birth of Locke's mother all the way up through last weeks episode here. In his spare time, of which there is apprently an abundance of, he paints Dungeons and Dragons miniatures.

The official website of the creative team behind Lost is called The Fuselage and can be found here.

Not much else going on, but if you hear anyhting drop me a line here and I'll see if it warrants a mention in my next recap.

The show opens with Charlie dreaming of Christmas Day in England back in that wonderful decade known as the eighties, where Mr. T wandered the land pitying the fools and respecting his momma. Charlie, our lovable Hobbit/heroin junkie is a small child racing downstairs to open his presents. While his brother gets a sweet ass Voltron toy, Charlie can’t find any of his presents. Then his mother tells him that his present is right here, and uncovers a brand new piano just for him. Voltron is still cooler. As he starts to play he turns and looks at his brother who is now the modern day druggie version, who warns him “You can't save us if you don't play�. Then we see a flash forward to Charlie playing the piano being berated by his butcher father telling him that music will never get him anywhere. Then his mother and brother both tell Charlie to “save us�. From here we see Charlie playing the piano on the island in the surf. He hears a baby crying and stops. It’s Aaron and he’s stuck inside the piano. Sure, why not. He tries to free him but he can't and the piano is washed out to sea. Cut to now where Charlie wakes up from his dream. And what a dream it was. It had everything but a backwards speaking midget. Charlie does have more interesting dreams than I do I have to admit. The last dream I had I was chasing Dustin Hoffman for stealing my nacho’s.
