Reasons TV is better in box sets

So I finished season four of Lost tonight. We bought season one and watched it all in one clump, to see what the fuss was all about. We suffered our way through season two and the whole Michelle Rodriguez thinks she is a good actress phrase. season three brought the wonderful additions of Desmond and Juliet as regular characters, but still never answered a bloody question. All of season two and three were watched about a week later due to either taping on VHS (we're behind the times) or downloading every week. This season, not quite able to do either. As TV is progressing into the digital form, we get less and less channels to show up on our bunny ears. Which, overall, is still more than needed as we really do not watch much television to begin with. PBS still shows up most days, while everything else is starting to end up dubbed over in Spanish. downloading seems to not work as well anymore as the main people to download torrents from seem to be addicted to putting everything in zip/exe format, which would be fine except that Macs cannot open those files. So this has been a season of watching abc.com episodes and suffering throught the terrible speeds, haltings and 'limited'
commercials. At least it is free.

Back on track, I finished the most current season tonight, and truthfully, I was left wanting. Not cliffhanger, need to know what happens wanting. Just, you know, wanting it to have been better. Wanting it to have a more decisive ending. Wanting it to NOT BE BLOODY PREDICTABLE!!!!

I like the flash forwards. I think since it started going that way it is a great way to wrap up the series, which has left than a full season to go. I like what it being described, and the course the show is taking. I like the subtlety of chess thrown in, as if everything is game possible to win, rather than everyone just being pawns. I'm more just so dissatisfied the ending being exactly what I predicted in the beginning of the series. Way to cliffhanger.

Seriously, though weirder, it is starting to get to Battlestar Galactica predictable. Doesn't mean I will not follow through to the end, just means predictable.
