Are you lost watching Lost right now?
The latest season finished recently, leaving me and, I suspect, many other viewers with plenty of questions, which is only natural in a programme of this kind.
But the growing sense of frustration is also eating away at me now.
The programme makers, who are brilliant, I must say, now need to start putting the pieces together for us all.
I think they think they have already hooked us all and we will keep watching the last episodes just to find out what happened.
But isn't the television experience meant to be about immersing yourself in the series and coming out the other end with new knowledge and maybe a better sense of who we are?
I'm afraid Lost may fail to deliver on that front or, at least, it may take the viewer several years to reach whatever conclusion they have already determined.
How long must we keep tuning in only to start tuning out the minute the opening credits roll?
Every episode is the same in some ways.
We get a quick review of the past 60 minutes, where we are reminded just how confusing Lost is before we are drawn into the next hour of the maze.
J.J. Abrams, the brains behind Lost, is treating us like mice in a science laboratory.
The problem is, for millions of fans, that's just the way we like it.
On a totally different subject - wouldn't life be grand if you won the lottery? And not just any old lottery but one of those massive $50 million jackpots you hear about in the United States, Mexico and other countries.
An upcoming programme on Sky's Documentary Channel gives a unique insight into how winning millions changes lives.
Aptly called Millions - A Lottery Story, this documentary screens on Sunday, July 26, but a quick preview by yours truly reveals it should be a must-see.
And, finally, a wee grumble.
Why, oh why, do programme schedulers in this country put movies on during primetime on a Saturday night on the free-to-air channels?
I'm sure there are a lot of people who want to snuggle up on a cold winter's night and watch some thought-provoking telly but if they have just TV1, TV2 and TV3 to choose from, all they get are movies, and mostly repeats.
Don't miss: Packed to the Rafters, TV1, 8.30pm, tonight: Yes, it's an Aussie programme but I'm told it's worth a look.
It's about a couple whose family finally leave the house only to return en masse.
Don't bother: Ty's Great British Adventure, Prime, 7.30pm, Friday: That loudmouth, annoying host of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Ty Pennington, flies across the Atlantic to annoy the heck out of the Poms.
The last thing you want to hear or see on a Friday night.
Avoid.
