I'm usually one of those Lost fans who, as soon as the episode is over, starts asking, "what was THAT about? Who was that guy? Have we seen that girl before? Why are you guys nodding? Wait, that leaf that fell from that tree in the middle of scene X, was that significant? Did the leaf have the Dharma Initiative logo on it? What does it all mean? I DON'T GET IT!"
And then people have to sit down and explain it to me like I'm a freaking moron.
So the first five minutes. Wow. This is why I've never joined a book club and I never will. Some people take it just a bit too seriously. Dammit, Stephen King, haven't you ruined enough lives?
I'm intrigued about Juliet. She sounds all nice, but I get the feeling I can't trust her. She's an OTHER! But I also get the feeling she's not bad, and might actually be unhappy being an other? It's all so confusing. Is she genuinely nice or just putting on a show?
I don't care who ends up with whom, but the Sawyer/Kate moments were nice. What in the hell did they do to Kate? That dude said they roughened her up. I hope they don't go down the rape route.
So this episode, we learned Jack can be a real dillhole. Somebody really needs to get him a copy of Letting Go: A 12-Week Personal Action Program to Overcome a Broken Heart by Zev Wanderer. Might make a great Secret Santa present, in case he gets the crazies again and wants to come after you.
I still have no answers, except the Others are a book club gone terribly, terribly wrong. Plus, where do they get their stuff? CDs? Books? Groceries? I'm starting to think there's a huge Wal-Mart in the middle of the island and the Losties are so stupid they haven't found it yet, even though they keep finding those red carts everywhere.
Impressive moments: seeing the plane break in half in the air. That was creepy. I've always been terrified of plane crashes. Also, hearing Jack's father's voice through the intercom. Ooooooh.
