Lost 2: Tied to a Tree in a Jungle of Mystery
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Is it just me, or is this painfully boring?
Titus Welliver! I missed you.
I've been so starved for Richard and I'm finding this fairly straightforward (for Lost) story engrossing.
Looks like Richard:Titus :: Ben:Flocke
It's just an awful lot of time spent on: Richard loves his wife, bad stuff bad stuff, sold into slavery, wrecks on The Island, stuck in chains, oh crap, and here's the black smoke.
I mean, it's been 40 minutes. That could have been compressed into 10.
I see it as: this is all we're going to get of Richard's backstory amongst a cast of characters that have had how many years of naval-gazing, flashbacks, flashforwards, flashsideways, and explicit island time. So instead of a whole season of Richard staring morosely at a fancy crucifix necklace before we find out why... basically I see this as condensed.
Plus when things get too slow, I can just picture Batmanuel in these scenes and it's freakin' hysterical.
For the record, I'm enjoying it. I was a little surprised to find out 40 minutes had gone by.
Hmmmmmmmmm...
Someone is going to have to explain Jacob's logic to me.
So he brings people to the island so the Man in Black can know that all human beings aren't evil. But the MIB kills about a good number of the people who arrive on the island anyway, so how is it the human beings have choice?
What does Jacob have to prove to the MIB anyway?
Isn't it more honest to say that Jacob is bringing people to the island so that there will always be a replacement for Jacob and that Jacob is the MIB's jailer?
Jacob makes me think of God fucking with and ruining Job's life all because of a bet he had with the devil.
