Month-to-Month: Episodic Medium's Summer Schedule
I am 1000% in on you completing the TV Club Classic rewatch of LOST! Like a lot of people hanging out here (I think, I imagine), LOST is the show that made me care about TV as a medium and about TV criticism. I wouldn't be in this space if it weren't for (both sets of) those old AV Club reviews! Ahhh!!!
I rewatched LOST with some friends in 2020-2021 during the peak of 'stay home and hang with your friends online' pandemic times, and got to revisit all kinds of old writings. I even made a huge list of reviews written both during and after airing, including Doc Jensen on EW (thanks to a google sheet some intrepid redditer created and the wayback machine), Emily Nussbaum on Vulture (S5-6), both sets of AV Club reviews, and more. Also, a whole bunch of LOST rewatch pods popped up around that time. And with both Emily/Noel's book and the Getting LOST documentary coming out in September, it is never not a good time to be a LOST fanatic! I am particularly keen to see how the revelations from Burn It Down figure into how you re-engage with LOST, though I'll take pretty much anything.
Also! I am excited for both Ben's takes on Silo (I watched it a few months ago, so it's still fresh), and anything you decide to do with Pachinko (one of my favourite new shows of the last 5 years)!
