 |
|
Since no one at my work seems to be watching it, I figured I'd pick ya'll brains about it.
I thought this episode more than made up for the not too great eps in the beginning of Season 3. There were enough teases without making you want to scream 'Enough already!'. Big focus on Hurley who I think most people have grown to love. I didn't get a few things like why wasn't he rich anymore? Did the lottery stop paying upon his death? He didn't have anything saved or invested in something? I thought surely he would have something. It made me start thinking about life insurance. If you get a life insurance payment upon thinking someone is dead - which most likely would have been the case with their relatives - what happens when they come back and aren't dead? Do you have to give the money back to the insurance or just keep your mouth shut and hope they don't notice? 
Who do you think are the other three survivors? If Hurley wasn't with Jack at the time and both got rescued then obviously the two separate groups end up combined again so anyone is fair game. Who was the dead person in the last season's cliff hanger? I think either Locke or Sawyer. And speaking of Sawyer - was his loyalty to Charlie and Hurley so thats why he went with Hurley OR was he just against anything Jack suggested because of the two of them? I wanted to smack him for not suggesting Kate should come with him rather than just blowing her off. And why oh why does Jack keep getting surprised when Kate does something sneaky? Hello??? She's been sneaky since day 1 and each time she pulls some stunt - he acts totally in shock that she fooled him. Get a clue Jack, you're pretty much a fool at times where she is concerned. I like her more and more each time she does the right thing rather than what Jack wants her to - she's no longer the Mary Sue of Lost.
I forgot - did Sayid and Jin go with Hurley or with Jack?

| I thought Jin and Sun stayed with Jack, but I'm not sure. Sawyer sure looked agonized when he said that line about surviving. I just love Sawyer. No, not *just* because he's deep fried smexy. But it don't hurt. |

I enjoyed it. It had everything I like about Lost, and plenty of it: character development, action, and downright spookiness. Love that Hurley can see Jacob, Love that Jacob exists, love that we had tender moments between Kate and Jack, and friction between Kate and Sawyer (I don't prefer one man over the other I just like that things were destabilized), positive movement and retrograde movement. Plus the whole look into the future thing. Am looking forward to this week.
btw, I took Hurley's idea that all his $ would be gone and he would be free that since, presumably, they have been declared dead, his money had passed to his heir, probably his mother.
I have no idea who the other three survivors will be, but I am very curious to know! |

Taller Half is watching it right now on his computer in the other room. (We can't get TV reception at all, so it's either webisodes or ask someone to record stuff for us.) Is it worth starting up again? My question-- does anybody ever get off the island?-- has been answered. They killed Charlie (the whole reason I got hooked in the first place) so I'm not so sure I care to keep trying to love a show that dipped to "likeable, some weeks" from the heights of that first season.
That and I'm having a hard enough time keeping up with Ugly Betty. I'm not sure I could handle two/week any more.

I think so, if the opening of this season and the ending of last season are any indiction of how things will go.

Yes, but now there's a new question - do they ever get back?!

But he came back, you know

Completely sympathize.

Did not know he came back. Might pick up last week's ep this weekend and decide from there. Thanks for the tip.

Aaron?!?!?!? Whooo-hoooo!
At the end of every ep so far I've found myself sitting at a crossroad looking left, looking right, seeing a little down each way, absolutely not sure which way this story will go ... Love it!!!

Oh ... and am I the only one who didn't recognize that Charlotte's name was C. S. Lewis?

I wasn't going to bother this season. The last one frustrated me so (though it got better in the end). But it's supposed to be the last season and I'd hate to think I wasted my time over three seasons so I tuned in for the beginning of the fourth, and you know what? So far so good. And I am so totally in love with Sayid right now. Hot damn the man is SEXAY!
do.

Who's Charlotte?
(Hey - I could have said "Who's C.S.Lewis", but I read "The cat, The Cow and The Cupboard" when I was little.)
Seriously, though. Lost? It's still playing? Started with a bang, but fizzled out and season 2 was a drag.... gave up very early on.

I know! I didn't see that one coming; I just assumed they'd go the easy path and have the little Sawyerishly blond boy be unnamed as yet. But this was such a nice twist. I'll definitely watch next week. So far this season has been pretty darn good.
Plus last night's ep had plenty of shirtless Sawyer. (Did he have lines? I forget. Whatever. Shirtless!) |

Hehe, I got to meet Naveen at the sci fi convention two years ago. very awesome and daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayum sexy. Though he was much shorter than I expected. I got my photo-op with him... *staring at picture of his smoldering sexy eyes*
