Okay, now with Lost over and there being not much on TV. I found a show last Monday called Persons Unknown. It is a mini series with I think about 13 episodes. It's on Mondays at 10pm on NBC.

I read some comments that people posted about it, some enjoyed it, some didn't, some are unsure. I kinda liked it. If your interested in watching the Pilot episode it is on nbc.com or Hulu.com, then tomorrow night you can watch the second episode.

I'm not even sure if anyone visits this site anymore, but if so, try and watch this. It's a mystery about 7 people who are abducted and wake up in this hotel called the Downtown Hotel in the middle of a ghost town with some empty stores, a boutique called Francines and they also have a chinese restaurant with the best chinese food ever!!

I have to say, the acting isn't the best and I don't feel connected to any of the characters except the mom just b/c she doesn't doesn't know what happened to her 5 year old daughter.

I kinda like the lady in the robe who claims she's a counselor, but she seems more like a patient to me.

Oh at the end of this ghost town is a billboard of a man who looks like a cowboy and he looks happy. I know..hehe, it does sound dumb, but it kept my interest and I am wondering why they are there. Also, some other people pop in, but I don't want to spoil it if anyone wants to see it.

If anyone has seen it, this would be an inside joke....If I were one of them who was abducted I would keep running to that place where you get to take a nap, one reason is to escape the nightmare that I was in and the other reason would be to give the other people something to do!!

Thanks,B. Probably logging off this site for good. Had a good run, but everything ends. Lost gave us a lot of great characters, my faves Locke, Des, and Eko. I don't really think that we'll see this kind of storytelling again on TV. We actually cared about the characters and wondered if they would survive from week to week. Oh well. P.S. Etertainment Weekly listed John Locke as #63 greatest characters of the last 20 years. Personally, he should have been in the top 10. Definitely changed my life and made me believe that there is a higher purpose for us all. What other show has ever done that? With that said, goodbye Losties. Do you find this valuable?

Well, I've seen 3 episode so far, it's okay, I guess, but it's better than nothing. I still feel no attachments towards these characters...and I laughed at the 2nd episode when the billboard of the smiling cowboy with his hand in the air saying "Welcome Back". The end of the 3rd episode was a cool twist that I wasn't expecting.....but let's face it, this show is not Lost!!! I miss Lost :(
