Three, 16-episode seasons…? Please tell me you’re kidding…

I know. That’s only 48 more episodes to watch Sawyer take his shirt off! Gah!
Oh, Sawyer…
How will I liiiiiiiiiiive without you? I want to know. How can I breeeeeeeeeeathe without you? If you ever go… how will I ever, ever survive?
lol. That does seem to happen rather frequently, doesn’t it? I’m more miffed that they’ve decided to stretch two full seasons over three years.
I’m more upset that I fall prey to their marketing people. “All of your questions will be answered!” Liars!
