Lost, Grammys, Etc.

Since this weekend has been absolutely crazy, I haven't had time to put up a full Lost recap. Suffice it to say, Lost is back in big way this year, and hopefully we'll get the full 16-episode season if the strike wraps up soon.

So Episode 2, entitled "Confirmed Dead" introduced us to the Boaties, a rag-tag group of four from the freighter whose plans for the Lostaways and the Island haven't exactly been made clear by the end of the episode. We meet Daniel Farady, the bumbling and emotional physicist; Miles Strom, the angry ghostbuster; Charlotte Lewis, the anthropologist who found a DHARMA collar on a polar bear in the Tunisian desert (!!); and Frank Lapidus, the pilot who was supposed to be piloting Oceanic Flight 815. In a flashback, we learn that Frank pretty much knows that the "remains" of Oceanic 815 that were found aren't authentic.

Other people who know the remains aren't authentic include Matthew Abaddon/Daniels, who may or may not have something to do with the faux remains to begin with. We see him talking to Naomi, coaxing her to take on the "high risk, covert operation in unstbale territory." So who planted the plane under the ocean? Why are they trying to cover up the existence of the 815 survivors? And since we know that six people got off the island, how do they explain the fake remains?

Those are a few of the questions one can ponder while watching the Grammy's tonight. I'm watching out of morbid curiousity, because Kanye is favored to win the Album of the Year (right? I mean, who else did anything noteworthy in music last year?) and if he doesn't win, I'm sure there will be an amazing temper tantrum thrown.

Check back for 'Wire' recaps and reactions later tonight and tomorrow.
