    Lost Obsession Hits a Snag

    By Neil Ransom | June 9, 2007

    LostKate and I have been watching Lost at a relentless pace, something newly married couples seem to do, and now find ourself mid 3 season without access to the remaining episodes in English. Sure we can get Spanish episodes by the truck load, there are 70 pirates DVD shacks just outside the compound, all with the remaining episodes. The problem is my Spanish is at a 2 year old levels and there is nothing more frustrating than listening to a complex fast pace conversation while only able to understand simple words if said slowly. Actually I am glad for the break, now I have time for a good Terry Pratchett novel.

      Yea I tried that but it is only available for users in the US & Canada. You would think with NAFTA we would be included, but unfortunately the US has a tendency to import more than they export. Oh well.

      Can’t you get it on e-bay? Don’t waste any time with the Spanish version. My Spanish is functional and I don’t think I could enjoy it if it wasn’t in English. It just wouldn’t be right and Sawyer wouldn’t make any sense. He’s an English only guy.

      [...] watching this TV show called  ”Lost,” purely for anthropological purposes, of course. We watched all previous 3 seasons last summer during our Mexico trip. We have been waiting about 6 months for the new season to [...]
