there's a new dentist in my dentist's practice that looks like Naveen Andrews... I am considering switching from my currently also-handsome, but in more of a american highschool quarterback way, dentist. Hm.

That's weird, right?

Hmm. My local video place has a lot of obscure and hard-to-find stuff (and let us take a moment to bless odd little independent video stores!), so I might luck out. Or, I wonder if I could ask them to order it? I don't really want to buy it myself, since I am (as always) wicked low on cash right now.

Hey, I just read that Naveen Andrews not only caused a big to-do in England years ago apparently by moving in wit his acting teacher when he was 16 (!) and having a baby with her, but that he now lives with Barbara Hershey. Who knew?

caused a big to-do in England years ago

Not that big a to-do - I'm a reasonably obsessive celebrity gossip whore, and this is the first I've heard of it.

I think it may have been a to-do in the theater community. Inveterate gossips but a small world.

Goodness. Baby!Sayid.

And y'all thought the baby kitty and elephant pictures were cute. Young Sayid adorable.

I agree with those who are finding the constant near-identical flashbacks a teeny bit predictable. I'd like to intersperse them with life-on-the-island eps.

I would alter the character interaction / character flashback ratio myself. The anvils and more formulaic structure of the show to date may serve to provide adequate ratings for us to enjoy the show longer. At this point in my television watching history I am starting to understand that if a show were exactly what I was looking for it wouldn't make it past showing 4 episodes.

I'm really enjoying the show and see huge potential. If they are able to strike a balance between making it commercially successful and keep the narrative interesting I will be one happy fan.

I like the flashbacks when they are skillfully integrated and used to tell us something new and interesting about the character and his/her dynamic in the group. Plus, I am multiple timeline's bitch.

Pretty much the only flashback I didn't like was the one about Charlie. I LOVED getting the backstory on Locke & Sun and found the Jack & Kate ones fairly interesting as well.

Usually, I dislike moustache/beard in men, but Sayid is totally hotter with facial hair.

Thanks Zenkitty. Hey, I wonder if we're related. Oh, wait. I made up my username. I guess that means we're probably not. Oh, well.
