Become a Lost expert in three easy steps

If you're like me (and, why shouldn't you be?), and have never seen an episode of Lost, this is probably your first reaction when you watch a random episode:

'What the hell?"(Or something stronger)

Well toss your worries aside, Lost novices. In three simple steps, courtesy of Jake at Blogspot, you too can watch an episode and know everything that is going on, and then discuss it intelligently with strangers you encounter on the street.

Step one is to know your characters. Jake tells readers to watch the 'Previously on . . .'  scenes at the beginning of each episode. He then goes on to describe each character on the show and how to identify them. Step two is to know the basic plot up to this point. Jake writes up a deft summary of what has happened since the passengers of Oceanic flight 815 crash-landed on a tropical island that isn't all that it seems. In Step three, take your newfound knowledge and spout it to everyone so it seems like you have been an avid fan of the series since its premiere.

There, simple as simple can be. Next week on Blogspot: Jake tells you how to become a nuclear physicist in three easy steps.
