Hehehe Farseer I don't even recall what the difference is between rubgy league and union ... *hangs head in shame*
A New Zealander once explained it to me but I'm afraid that piece of information long since went in the 'not used often enough' recycle bin of my brain.
I generally don't like watching sport at all but I do make a weird exception for soccer/football/'the world game' so yay World Cup! There's also been some Matildas matches shown recently on ABC. We got robbed again the other day! (but it didn't really matter to the outcome so that's ok)
Mervi you are probably right that it's best to watch all of Lost rather than just the last season or whatever. But if the choice is 'watch a bit of it' or 'just don't watch it at all' I guess we won't be worse off for having watched a bit of it! Speaking for myself there is zero chance that I will ever sit down and watch every season. I just don't find it enjoyable enough. I know there are hidden meanings, links, all that stuff we like with our books, but I just don't find myself as inclined to devote that much time to a TV show for some weird reason. I must say part of the reason I don't find it enjoyable to watch is that so much of the actual action is the same things over and over. They set up camp (they re-set up camp) on that damn beach over and over ....... someone is 'going after' someone.... someone else wants to come..... then there's an argument over who will go with who..... then they invariably get ambushed by some other group..... then someone has a plan to blow something up.... then someone else says NO! we must do the opposite because of my vision......
I don't dislike the concept as a whole, and thank goodness they are doing something different (if I see another show about a hospital, solving crime OR vampires I'll scream) but I just couldn't watch every episode of every season. I ... just ..... can't ....!
