TV Junkie: 'Lost'; Clap Your Hands Say Yeah on Conan

A Word or 52:
Some people hated last week's "useless" Lost because it didn't further the storyline but I thought it was a humorously macabre and welcome break that reminded me of some of the better tangential X-Files episodes from 10+ years ago. If looks like we're going back to that story line tonight, oh well.
