Lost

Since it's Friday, and because I can make no major life decisions without consulting my friends' list, here's a poll.

the middle of each episode seems to trail off somehow

You've put your finger right on it. The last one I saw (the one on E4 last week), it got past the opening, and I thought, "You know, I just can't be bothered sitting through this." I suspect it might have something to do with there being no real story arc, so the main content of each episode never really gets past banal.

It sounds like, in Doctor Who terms, a series comprising entirely of third episodes.

:-D Not a bad way of putting it, actually. I was just saying that part of its skill is in keeping you thinking that there's about to be a major pay-off.
