Thank you everyone for your emails, tweets, comments and all. I have missed this community so very much, during my absence. It’s been very strange, really. Firstly absence was enforced by my breaking of my laptop keyboard the very evening of the finale! Not clever, not at all. Then, after I eventually found a replacement…it has been difficult for me to come back. I missed my chance to participate in many of the podcasts I wanted to, and, I believe, my chance to say goodbye to some dear and appreciated friends made during the last two years, and especially since I began podcasting.
I’m back where it all began for What Katy Said as a podcast, looking out over a Swedish summer, enjoying frankly nauseating levels of heat and thinking about swimming and cycling and so on. I didn’t bring any LOST with me this time, but the second it’s out on DVD, I’ll watch Season 6 again.
I have a lot more to say, but I really did need time for it to settle. I found the reactions of many people to the finale very difficult to hear indeed, and there’s another reason I didn’t jump back into the swing of things.
I remain thrilled and moved by the end of LOST, and, the more perspective I get, the more pleased by it I am. I will podcast again, one day, some time, and not that far away, either, but not just yet (I forgot my microphone!). I really do miss everyone greatly, and hope that all is well, and that, for those of you who really were saddened by LOST’s end, you’ve found something else to fill the gap.
Speaking of which, Swedish telly is showing Twin Peaks incessantly. Definitely a show I need to watch again. And, in terms of quality new television, anyone who isn’t utterly, completely, stunningly in love with the latest Doctor Who needs their heads checking. You wanted a finale that did absolutely everything and a bit more on top of that? I thoroughly recommend the watching of it. Such a wonderful season; very excited to see more.
Post-LOST, the main TV series I fell back on was The West Wing. Is there anything more different? Still marvellous, marvellous viewing. Truly some perfect television in there, indeed.
And now, I must off for a glass of wine in the sunshine. Thank you again, everyone, for not giving up on me, and I’m sorry to have disappeared on many of you I owed at the very least, a thank you and goodbye.
Happy to hear from you again. I hope you resume podcasting about any topic very soon. You’re very good at it. Best…
Katy! Matt (from Keys To LOST) here! I’ve watched all 5 seasons of the new Doctor Who since LOST has ended and am now starting a podcast about it. http://uswhocast.wordpress.com
Hoping to have guest cohosts from time to time so when you retrieve your microphone give me a shout on twitter twitter.com/uswhocast or uswhocast@gmail.com
Hope you are enjoying your summer!
Matt
Oh joy, Matt, joy! I’m SO glad to hear you’ll be podcasting again and would absolutely, utterly love to join in
My microphone and I should be reunited in September, so any time you want to make a plan, you know where to find me!
Summer is glorious and marvellous, but all the better now we’ve found a way of watching TV outside, too
I’m only sorry to have missed what, I’m sure, has been considerable joy on your Who-journey as you’ve been catching up!
