I know what the secret to Lost is! It's to see how many men the show can get us to woobify! Woobie-woobie.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
That said, the most interesting thing to me was: the different means of imprisonment for Jack, Kate, and Sawyer. Smacks of psychological experimentation, although I doubt it will pay off. And how are they underwater in the aquarium?!
Yeah, I did like that part (I was a psych-major in college, so big surprise there). Riley Finn would have approved.
Want to bet "Chachi" was putting on an act to gain Sawyer's trust?

Because books.

That's what I thought! That everything was an act, that he was there to test how Sawyer would behave, blah blah.
I did like the fish biscuits. Funny.

That, and "It only took the bears two hours." Somewhere, Stephen Colbert felt a great disturbance in the Force.

Smacks of psychological experimentation, although I doubt it will pay off.
Juliet's attitude to Jack was very "behavior modification," I thought. They're trying to break him of his stubbornness. I'm wondering if they're going to try to incorporate the three of them into the Others.
I was intrigued by how fluidly things went into action when they saw the plane coming over. How many various conveyances have ended up on that island, that they had a procedure to infiltrate.
God, I'm caring and I don't know why. Damn you JJ!

Exactly.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The one thing I will say for this show is that, however slowly, it does always keep moving forward. There's never a chance that things will reset and we'll be back to a "normal" episode next week.
HOWEVER, the psych experiments were really annoying to me -- they're prisoners of the Others who are either Hanso or ex-Hanso, OF COURSE THEY'RE DOING PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTS ON THEM. I felt like we got the only "reveal" in the teaser, when we saw Other!Suburbia. And then...Henry's real name is Ben. Ooooooooooooooooh.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I just hate feeling like I'm a part of the psychological experiement. How long can they keep us watching without telling us shit--that's the real experiement.

What is even happening?
Cindy, Danielle was the crazy lady who tortured Sayid and stole Claire's baby.
Oh. Rousseau, right? I never stopped thinking of her as Rousseau.
I've basically taken the view that I just don't care that much about the extra stuff. As I said to G last night, if it's not onscreen, it's not important to me. I'll be damned if I'm gonna go to ten thousand websites to get some "information" which really doesn't matter in the long run.
I completely agree, Sheryl.
The opening was interesting, but yeah, WTF? Why are they pretending to be living in huts when they've clearly got electricity and blah blah? And the question about Danielle is really valid -- why let her run around the island when they could clearly capture and keep her?
Maybe she's one of them. Maybe it doesn't suit their purposes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I was intrigued by how fluidly things went into action when they saw the plane coming over.
Yeah, THAT was fucking freaky. Henry Gale is a freaky motherfucker. FREAKY FREAKY FREAKY. It was clear they already had plans in place for things like that happening.
How long can they keep us watching without telling us shit--that's the real experiement.
Heh.
I'm also starting to accept that they're totally making shit up as they go along, however much they had planned in the beginning. Because with every new direction, things in the past start making less sense.
I don't, however, care so much as long as they make shit up smoothly. I do understand that improvised storylines happen on television all the time, and they can be really cool. These guys like to shake things up a lot.
