This is why twins should ALWAYS be dressed identically - even through adulthood... 9:45 PM May 11thSo there you have it, the early reactions about another amazing episode of the best show ever on television. As for next week’s episode, which I have already seen (squee!), you’ll have to wait for those reactions until next Friday… TWO DAYS BEFORE THE – I can’t even type it. You know. Anyway, I may try to get another special edition out soon, this one about LOST Live The Final Celebration, so keep an eye out. Until then, keep tweeting about LOST, and please use the hashtag! Namaste.
