I am a self-proclaimed t.v. snob. I don't watch a lot of network t.v. because well frankly- most of it sucks serious ass. Lazy plots, half-baked ideas for sow premises, horrible acting, cliche and predictable all around. I have found that Lost is a completely different creature. I simply was not prepared for this show.
Pilot episode, guy wakes up in the jungle to a labrador licking his face. Labrador in the jungle...ohhh kay but hey let's see where it goes. Guy runs to beach and total chaos, plane had crashed, and there is this big huge turbine engine still spinning. I think to myself, "this can't be good". Lo and behold a little later there is a random guy milling about in front of the engine.
Jack: Hey! Get away from the engine! Get away from the-
WHOOMNNNCHCCCCCH
KABOOM
Me on couch: "Oh Shhhhit!!"
I mean, you had an idea that it should happen, that it might happen that someone would get sucked into the turbine but really I didn't think they would go there. Oh how wrong I was. They'd go there, and go there often. If you're reading this you probably have seen all of this so I'm going to skip around and it's going to be random.
I like the way they introduce you to the main cast of characters on the show. Jack, who has basically been running things from the start. I still want to know what's up with those tats. He didn't have them when he got married. He had Alpha male status on the island but two things happened- first, Sawyer happened. Sawyer punks Jack every chance he gets. Second, Ethan happened. This is where Jack totally lost Alpha-male status. 'Cause Ethan whupped that ass. I mean beat-down and total pwnage. Ethan beat Jack like Jack owed him money. Luckily, Charli (You Areee Everybody!) put a cap in his ass. That guy was creepy. You know like the guy who shows up at the party that no one invited? In any case, lucky for Jack he is the doctor and is really smart.
Kate, aka "freckles" (who until recentlyI referred to as "nurse"). After watching this last episode she would be a really, really bad nurse..but anyway. Apparently she is a bad-ass, that has done some really, really bad things in the past. Including helping to rob a bank. And apparently she can take a right-hook like a champ. I have to admit I was really surprised when it turns out that she was the one in handcuffs. I thought for sure it was Sawyer. And so did you. lol. I have a feeling that she would fuse Sawyer and Jack together if she could. It'll be interesting to see how that whole thing plays out. Also want to know more about her back story. And that damn little air plane she got out of the case. All of that for a little toy airplane? Are you kidding me??
Sawyer- Ah, Sawyer. Very interesting story. Shame he shot that guy for nothing. I wonder if he will ever tell Jack that he talked to who could of been his father? Probably not. He's a good foil for Jack. Here's my main thing with him- does anyone else get the feeling he's partly based on Crockett from Miami Vice? The whole macho-rebel-ladies-man thing? The hair? The stubble? Check it out here. See what I mean? It would really crack me up if they started playing the Miami Vice theme song music whenever he came into a shot. Oh, and I guess he ran out of cigarrettes, 'cause he is now reading rather than smoking.
Locke- This dude is a whole post unto himself. Maybe later. Freeeakky!!
Walter- What powers does he have? Something is up with this kid. Want to know more!
Michael- Glad him and Jin have made friends. I predict he will still eventually hook up with Sun and make Jin watch, just for spite.
Jin- Will drown Michael after the boat is finished and then pilot it himself. He doesn't fool me! His back story is great though. He has a good heart. Stop being a jerk!
Sun- Should of gotten her ass in that car when she had the chance. No, I know why she went though. But when she started speaking English? It was like WHAT? When the hell?? Bah.
I'll share thoughts on the others later. Hurley is a favorite. His story is *crazytown*!!! The numbers! Aiiigh the numbers! And the hatch! NUMBERS ON THE HATCH. Then the damn hatch lights up!!! I thought I had an idea about what was up with the numbers, but of course that all got blown to shit when I saw the numbers on the hatch. WHAT'S IN THE DAMN HATCH?????
Don't you dare tell me.
Crazy-ass island. With the polar bears. POLAR BEARS. Maybe they came from the hatch?? lol.
I will leave you with this exchange from the first night watching:
G: fuuuuck! Smthg just ate the fkg pilot! What the fuck kind of shit is this!
G: now he’s in a tree! Eff this island.
A: LMAO! Oh honey, just you wait :O you have not yet begun to say eff this island.
