you know why i think i liked last night? it reminded me of the first season when things were still good. i did roll my eyes a bit at them finding the hatch and such, but it was neat to see all that old footage with them in it.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

it reminded me of the first season when things were still good.
I'm wondering. Was the first season any better, quality-wise, episode by episode, then what we're getting now? Or is it just that it was a better experience since it was shiny and new, and people are just tired of the ride now?

P-C,
I think it was a lot better quality-wise. I watched the first 15 minutes of the pilot this morning and I was still captivated. There were some bad eps the first season, but it was really interesting and I liked the characterization.
There is so much since that's been contradictory. It is hard to go back to season 2 and watch it with as much enthusiasm.

it's probably a little bit of both, P-C. i was never really all that invested in Alias and so when people were predicting that Lost would turn out to be much the same, it didn't really mean anything to me. hindsight. she is 20/20.

What is even happening?
It occurred to me that, given that I'd heard there were a lot of extremely negative reactions to Nikki and Paolo being shoe-horned into the beach group after 3 seasons, that we may have just seen LOST'S unironic remake of the Poochie episode of THE SIMPSONS.
Frank, I never saw the Poochie episode of THE SIMPSONS, but it seems they were written off due to negative reaction (and yay for that). [link]

Which is perzactly what the Poochie episode was about.

I really liked this episode maybe the most of this year, so far. Noting the sparing usage of Jack, especially.
What's with throwing perfectly good diamonds into a grave though? Couldn't you at least use them for poker chips?
