Lost thoughts

[auntiemeesh]

So Lost didn't suck last night! I was totally prepared for a 'love triangle from hell' episode, based on last week's previews (a good reason to avoid those blasted previews) and that was not at all what we got.

I'm growing to love Sawyer more and more, and I even kind of like the Sawyer/Kate pairing. I loved the 'I Never' drinking game they played. Those two understand each other better than either of them would really like to admit, I think, and it was good to see a bit of honesty coming from each of them.

We're really starting to see some of the connections between their pre-flight lives. I loved the random conversation between Sawyer and Jack's dad at the bar, although I am now feeling even more contempt for Jack's dad than I was before. "There's a payphone over there, I could call my son and tell him all of this and make it all better. But I won't because I'm weak." Asshat!

I'm going to have to watch the shooting scene over again. It was late and I had the volume low to not disturb the housemate, and consequently I couldn't really hear what was said between Frank and Sawyer, but I got the impression that Sawyer killed the wrong guy. Stupid eejit!

I'm still curious to find out what got Sawyer pulled in to police station while Boone was trying to get help for his sister. He had to have been released in a day or two, free, or else he's on the run.

I was also very happy to see that Charlie was suffering the consequences for having killed Ethan. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think it was necessarily wrong to have killed Ethan, but there is a heavy weight of responsibility that goes along with being judge, jury and executioner like that. I'm glad the writers are acknowledging that and showing that Charlie is struggling to figure out how to be this new person that he's becoming. And of course, I loved that sweet little moment at the end between Charlie and Claire.

I'm loving Sayid today, as well. He had very little to do in this episode, but that moment with Sawyer in the beginning was too fun. I just loved the look on his face as he laughs at Sawyer and then gets uncomfortable when Sawyer starts going on about the voices in the jungle.

Ah, this show is so damn good! :)

I got the impression that Sawyer killed the wrong guy.

Me too! Isn't there ANYthing in this show that's straightforward and exactly what it seems to be? No? What fun...!

Need more Charlie h/c. More.

Right there with you on the Sayid love. It's growing in leaps and bounds.

I am distraught, I was in the kitchen so I totally missed the Hurley-Charlie Burying Ethan scene. From what I've heard it was possibly the best scene of the episode.

Kate is officially half-elf, raised in Rivendell and trained to be a Ranger by Aragorn himself. It's the only explanation for all of her Mary Sue powers.

I had a LOT of trouble getting through the opening sequence, probably because I knew my not-quite-12-yr-old son was watching it, too. *shudders* That has to take the cake for most horrific nightmare ever depicted on a tv screen. Poor Sawyer! Now I AM starting to really, really like him. How can you NOT want to comfort someone so tortured? And the more I see them together, the more I like Sawyer/Kate. I do hope he's not the "one of the original 14" who is done in at the end of the season.

Charlie! Oh! Be still my beating heart! Loved, loved, LOVED the Sayid moment where he tried to talk to the PTSD-out sweetie pie, wanted to thwap the boy on the backside of his head when he pushed Claire away, but adored the walk on the beach at the end. Now SOMEBODY has got to write that convo, am I right?

So, so love Hurley, the great-big ole teddy bear! Can't wait to see HIS ep!

It was a really good episode for moving the plot along; we knew about *what* had happened with Sawyer's parents--now we see the "how" and it goes a long way to explaining just how he ended up the way he is.
I've like Sayid from the start, and he's just getting more and more likable. I loved the humorous moments with Sawyer at the beginning. I also got a big kick from the way everyone reacted to Sawyer's whole "that boar has it in for me" thing.
I knew there was a good reason for Charlie not going with Claire at first, but wasn't sure what it would be until the whole burying thing.
I *love* Hurley. Forget Jack, Hurley's the one holding everyone together--he's looking out for everyone, he knows everyone's names--even the "red shirt" extras. I *really* wish that they would get around to his backstory!
And Jack's dad--even more of an idiot and a jerk than I thought he was. If it weren't for him, Sawyer would never have ended up falling for that set-up by his old partner.
