I don't trust these guys (the show runners) based on past LOST experience and JJ's history of wacky resets that have no decent payoff (the payoff that Dawn brought to BUFFY would have trumped every ALIAS reset in total, and that includes seasons 6 & 7), but DAMN these first two eps of LOST have been good.
Whoa. Good myth.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Last night's episode was fun. What a bizarre collection of people, though. Some kind of insane physicist, a guy who talks to dead people, a washed-up pilot, and a...was she an anthropologist?

What is even happening?
Yeah, and she seems to be named for C.S. Lewis.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
shouldn't the guy who talks to dead people be almost literally overwhelmed by the island? but I suppose if he operates okay in every day life, he has good control over his skill.

Our wings are not tired.
It was fun enough, but I cant say I was thrilled over adding a few more doses of questions.

Art Crawl!!!
I enjoyed it. (I watched it On Demand this morning.) It moved so fast that I was surprised when it was over. (And OF COURSE Ben has an operative on the freighter.)

And OF COURSE Ben has an operative on the freighter.
And, yet, that was totally when my head started spinning.
Yeah, and she seems to be named for C.S. Lewis.
Iiiinteresting. And the physicist was named FARADAY. They like to be on-the-nose with their names, don't they.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I admit I'm a little confused as to why the SF Chronicle reviewer thought that last night's episode kicked ass. Because all I could think was: (1) Great, more new characters. And we know how well that worked out with the Tailies. (2) Great more questions, which go so well with all the OTHER UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
In terms of a TV episode, I thought it worked really well. There was lots going on, it was well paced, we had new characters which actually had a bit of history from the beginning, the actor playing Daniel appeared to be a goodun...
In terms of Lost, though - yeah. It's the typical problem - loads of new characters, but is this actually going anywhere?
In terms of the strike, I strongly suspect the reason the producers didn't want these episodes to go to air is this: by episode 8, where it ends, I don't think we'll know anything much. Which, you know, will piss me off.
But then I'll probably still keep watching. Hoping one day they explain the Homer foot statue.
