Lost: The TV Series

Season 4, Episode 5: “The Constant”

In 1991 Julie and I began dating, and our courtship involved a weekly commitment to the X-Files. X-Files reached its zenith in season three with “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose,” broadcast on October 13, 1995. There was–and still is–something magical and brilliant about Final Repose.

The killer asks why it is that he does what he does. And Clyde Bruckman says, “You do the things you do because you’re a homicidal maniac.”

Julie and I began watching Lost  about a month ago on Netflix, commercial free. I guess we’re a little late on the Lost bandwagon, since the series ended in 2010. It has been a fun ride so far.

Season 4, Episode 5: “The Constant”. For those of you who gave up halfway through season two, Lost is a bandwagon well worth rejoining. For those of you who road the bandwagon all the way to its final destination, I hope you remember and appreciate this episode as much as we did.
