OK, this might be the best list EVER. If anything it makes me incredibly angry to read through it all because I'm sharing the same frustrations as the editors over at IGN. They've listed their top 50 Lost conundrums. There's plenty of unresolved stories and lingering mysteries that I thought of and some that I didn't even consider. From the polar bears to the scripture on Eko's stick to the island's healing powers to eye-patch man to the foot statue, it's all been considered. I've read through it twice now and every base has been covered. It's like a tiny Lost encyclopedia -- it's that comprehensive. So sit back and read through it. Prepare to get frustrated though because I'm sure you'll come across something you didn't consider either. Stupid numbers. Stupid black smoke monster... why can't you just tell me what you are?!?

Last night I caught an episode of Nature's "The Polar Bears of Churchill with Ewan McGregor." Usually when a documentary-type show sticks a celebrity in the mix it's a ploy to get more people to tune in, but in this case I was actually quite impressed with how "into it" McGregor was. He seemed genuinely delighted to be there and witness firsthand the trek of polar bears as they venture out in search of new ice and new food. McGregor's "naive, but not too naive" approach reminds me of Alan Alda on another PBS series, Scientific American Frontiers. It's not so much like watching a famous actor as it is watching someone who is genuinely intrigued by the subject he's reporting. If this whole "film career" doesn't work out, I think he'd do a fine job as a nature show host.
