welcome back LOST. and I use the term “welcome” loosely.
so, I am a huge fan of LOST. and by huge fan, I mean I ONCE was a hardcore fan, but they are on probation until they get their shit together or have more shirtless and/or sex scenes with Sawyer. whichever comes first. so until one of the foremetioned things occurs, I am on trial at the moment.
I am known in some circles as the LOST Nazi and am part of a weekly LOST group that gets together to watch, wittily comment, occasionally yell, and salivate over Sawyer weekly. my buddy Dan writes the awesome weekly LOST article for TMZ.com. so check it out: http://www.tmz.com/2007/02/08/lost-diary-not-in-portland/
ok so this huge, ridiculous, anger inducing LOST gap has me forgetting a lot. like I forgot how much I hate Juliet, how much I miss Locke and Sayid (AMAZING cast members that aren't getting enough air time these days), and dare I even say it…I forget the f-ing numbers.
as for last night’s episode, I still can't stand Juliet despite her backstory and the producers' attempt at getting our sympathy for her. the only thing I feel sorry for is her heinous pre-Island hairstyle. I will blame the Florida humidity for that one.
now is it just me, or is Ben (who I now affectionately call Benry since I can't completely let go of the genius name Henry Gale) not as scary when he’s a half naked white blob on the surgical table? I am really uncomfortable seeing him shirtless. I kind of need that to not happen again.
LOST had better get back in my good graces with these next 2 episodes, or they're losing their most loyal viewer forever! ok, as soon as I typed that it was a lie. I'll still watch it of course, but in furious anger. they have a lot of work to do winning me back, damnit! and LOST better do WAY better than that episode to reconcile with viewers. I was terribly disappointed.
After seeing the one-hour LOST wrap-up prior to the new episode, it leaves me longing for the simple pre-hatch/tailies/new-Others'-island days when all they had was gripping character development, black smoke, the monster, a confident bad-ass Locke and those gut wrenching slow-motion-to-sad-music endings. got me everytime. ahhhh, the good old days.
but if they just keep inserting shirtless Sawyer, we’ll call it even.
