My favourite Lost episode: THE ONE WHERE THEY EXPLAIN JACK'S TATTOO FINALLY. It's a page turner!
Ha, according to Lindelof and Cuse, that's the most important episode of the series BECAUSE it's so bad. And helped show ABC that the show was not exactly sustainable in an open-ended format.
I don't think you do have to watch it, Laga. I think you could start with this season and get into it. Everything that happens on the show is so batshit insane, but this year has been terrific in its batshit insanity, and there really is direction, now.
I think at the very least she should start with season four (or the season three finale), which is where the show radically changed direction and became awesome.
Speaking of soap operas...I have found a website that has all the clips of the classic Jack/Jennifer years on DOOL.
(DON'T JUDGE ME.)
(DON'T JUDGE ME.)
umm, so are there any Patch/Kayla clips (I distinctly remember jumping up and yelling YES!!! when he finally told her he loved her)
DAMN YOU! My student assistant is right outside my office, I can't watch it until I get home. WAH!
Patch/Kayla! Ah, memories of my college TV room . . .
I may possibly be downloading things with the intent of burning them to DVD.
Mostly because I've decided that Jack is Patient Zero of my affection for anti-hero types with secret hidden angsty pasts.
Oh man. I loved me some Patch.
and I enjoyed the Roman/Diana stint. And then when Roman and Marlena got back together. And then when Roman was revealed to be John Black. And then Original Roman and Marlena got together. And then something happened to Original Roman and Marlena and John Black got back together.
In the Jack storyline (because, as you remember, Jack is actually Billy, Steve's younger brother), Steve has just shown up and he doesn't have an eyepatch! My world has been turned upside-down.
