Lost #1.10: Raised By Another

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

In this episode, Claire was having bloody nightmares about people attacking her unborn baby, which fully creeped me out. Also, I think Charlie is meant to be a good guy now and all (after his magic 1-day detox to kick drugs), but something about him still creeps me out. The psychic convincing her [...]

Lost #1.9: Solitary

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

So, after torturing Sawyer last episode (!), Sayid went off wandering the island in this episode. He came across a cable (!) which led him to Crazy French Woman (!), who spoke perfect English (!). She tortured him in turn for no real reason (!), drugged him (!), told him he had to [...]

Lost #1.8: Confidence Man

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

This episode was mostly about Sawyer. His flashback story about what happened to his family was quite dramatic, and would make a good movie itself. I liked it, and it was interesting how he became who he was hunting. It still does not explain why he is in ass on the island [...]

Lost #1.7: The Moth

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Like a moth out of a cocoon, Charlie out of his drug addiction and Jack out of a cave-in. That’s what happened this episode.
Charlie became a hero, after a weird flashback where he was the good guy in a Manchester rock band while his brother was the drug-taking womanizer, then he confronts his brother [...]

Lost #1.6: House Of The Rising Sun

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

This episode had some pretty dramatic stories behind it.
Mainly, it was the flashback about Sun and her husband. That’s a pretty crazy story, how she was moments away from walking away from him never to be found again, only to change her mind at the last second and end up on the plane with [...]

Lost #1.5: White Rabbit

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

This was an okay episode.  It opened with Jack trying to save someone swimming in the ocean, but then choosing to save the brother (who I thought was a lifeguard?  why is he drowning 50 feet from shore?  now he’s on my fishy list) instead.  This scene paralleled the Jack flashbacks where he tried to [...]

Lost #1.4: Walkabout

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

This episode showed the hunting of boars that look like Muppets (or maybe Muppets that look like boars), mixed with some flashbacks about Locke, all in front of the background of having a mass memorial for the deceased plane passengers. These three storylines were good and dramatic, and told together well. I also [...]

Lost #1.3: Tabula Rasa

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

I’m not sure if it’s because it is the end of the week and I am tired out and impatient, or what exactly, but I did not fully get into this episode.
The stuff I liked was the flashback to Kate’s time in Australia as a fugitive, and the ending scene with the song* playing and [...]
