CSI:Lost Without A Clue
- The following took place at a party at the end of December 2007.
- Her: "Due to the writer's strike, they're bringing Lost back early. It was supposed to be February, but they moved it up to January."
- Me: "Really? Huh, I thought I had heard it was January a long time ago."
- Her: "**NO**, it was going to be February. They moved it because of the writers' strike."
- She said this as if I had tried to say that water is dry. I could literally see the capital letters and asterisks.
- I, however, had a deep suspicion she was wrong, misinformed, whatever.
- It took a great deal of moral strength not to pull out my iPhone and confirm it right there.
- But I didn't.
- I let it go.
- I had, in fact, forgotten all about it until today.
- Today is January 31st, i.e. the last day of January before the first day of February.
- Tonight is the season premiere of Lost.
- So she was all excited about the fact that they had moved Lost into January as a dramatic change, from February. Of course this is a rather pathetic thing to get excited about, especially when it is only one day before February.
- From everything I can find online, January 2008 was mentioned as far back as March 2007, however there were some references to February 7th.
- Wheeee! We got a week! (maybe)
- Remember: don't argue at parties.
- Even if you win, who cares?
- Are they going to leave thinking "He was right!" or "Wow he's a jerk!"? My guess is the latter.
