lost


Ok, so I felt like writing about something fun and frivolous this time...
I LOVE LOST!
I missed the premire last week, so my friends Scott and Cheryl were kind enough to download it for me on their computer. I went over to their house last night and we had a mini-LOST-athon. We watched last weeks episode and then watched the new one. Sawyer, pictured to the left, is my favorite. Everytime he calls Kate "Freckles" I melt. Sayid is a close second, pictured on the right.
For those of you who don't watch it, you're missing out. The intrigue is top notch. There is so much going on in the plot with these poor airplane crash victims that it will make your head spin. My mom has a hard time following the flashbacks in shows or movies, but I love they way they do them in LOST. You get glimpses of their lives before the crash that help you understand a little more about who they are and how their pasts intertwine. It's gets more tangled and twisted with every season, and I LOVE IT! This season revealed a huge part of the mystery of "the Others", the rivals that the crash victims have been scrapping with since they got there. Everything that has looked so much like coincidence or bad luck is fading away with each episode. Next week we get to see if Locke can still walk since the magnetic field has been blown...
No idea what I'm talking about? Jumping in this season might only be frustrating. Get the first couple seasons on DVD first to catch up. Losing interest because of all the re-runs last season? Try again! This season there will be NO reruns. They will take a break in the middle of the season instead dragging everything out for the whole year. It should be much more cohesive now.
In the first season I wondered how in the world they could make one incident last through one season, much less several. I stand amazed!
