Believe it or not, there was television other than Lost on last night, including the high-profile debut of Fox’s Lie to Me. I can’t read your microexpressions from here, so let us know what you thought.

SPOILER ALERT: Before you read this post, microwave a Hot Pocket and watch last night’s Lost.
I’ll post a Lostwatch overnight or early in the morning. In the meantime, I’ll leave you with a few questions to mull over in the hours before the two-hour premiere:
* We’ve seen Dharma, the Others, The Black Rock, the four-toed statues—just how long has the Island been inhabited anyway?
* What happened to the Island when Ben …
OK, this is cheating on Lost Day a bit, but as a service I should reprint my earlier review of what you won’t be watching if you’re watching Lost: the debut of Fox’s Lie to Me:
…Just as Zeitgeisty but less uplifting is Fox’s Lie to Me (Wednesdays, 9 p.m. E.T.), which may be the most cynical TV drama ever made. That’s not an insult;
…
…and what is Claire? When is she? How is she? Dead? Alive? Ghost? Human? None of the above?
Indeed, the whole Claire-Aaron axis is one of the most underexplained storylines of Lost in general—what’s so special about the kid, why did he need to be born on the Island, etc. I always thought Emilie de Ravin was underused on the show; …
Gilbert Cruz of TIME’s Briefing section wrote the That Viral Thing column this week about “Previously on Lost,” a YouTube comedy clip about what happens to a foolhardy young man who tries to catch up with four seasons of Lost: All… at… once:

You could call it the last word in multi-tasking. Yesterday morning, while part of my brain was casting forward to the imminent inauguration of Barack Obama, the other part sat down with Larry Rinder, director of the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive, and Toyo Ito, the Japanese architect of a new BAM/PFA that’s scheduled to …
One of the big topics we discussed at the Paley Center Lost panel was: how has Lost managed to draw in such huge audiences for what is basically a sci-fi show? And more important, now that it has blatantly introduced the elements of time (and space) travel (with the moving of the Island, Ben’s journey via donkey wheel, Faraday, …
It is the most important holiday on the annual Tuned In calendar, which is to say: It’s Mrs. Tuned In’s birthday! And Mrs. Tuned In is getting a very special present this year—the return of Lost—which means that it’s also… Lost Day! Meaning that, unless Barack Obama manages to get himself inaugurated again or news of similar …
Just a reminder: Tuned In is decamping for the day to the time.com Inauguration Liveblog, where Michael Grunwald, Karen Tumulty and I will be commenting on the festivities, starting around 10 a.m. Come and witness this historic peaceful transition of blogging.
To get into the spirit for today’s Inauguration liveblog, I decided that I had to watch Disney Channel’s Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future (also known as Sasha and Malia’s reward for putting up with Dad running for President).
What does that future look like? Look for the election of President Cyrus in about 2036 or so, for one thing. …
Spoilers for Big Love coming up after the jump:
Tomorrow, I’ll be liveblogging the Inauguration with the old gang from the election liveblogs: Karen Tumulty and Michael Grunwald. We’ll start around 9:30 a.m. or so, continuing until… who knows? I’ll post a link when one’s live, or find us through the main time.com liveblogs page. Yes! You can!
