2.05 Lost "...And Found"

[retro_eidas]

Ep isn't over yet, but I'd bet you anything - as I was thinking previously - some of the tailaways got "sick" and thus... the "trust issues".

Ok, saw the ep, and although I liked it, does it seem to anyone else that the flashbacks almost seem pointless this season for some reason? Like they don't resonate with the island events as well as they did last season. Sun angsting about Jin angsting about Michael. Maybe it's just me.

"I think they're gonna eat us". Heh. Wouldn't surprise me Sawyer.

The Others are creepy... and have no shoes. Nice teddy bear on a noose. You think they have a kid fascination, maybe?

Kate is angsting about Sawyer... and Sawyer is hitting on Ana Lucia. tee heee

Woman in the Orange Dress? (Yet another) Possible Matrix shout-out?

I like Eko. Still don't like Ana Lucia (Why isn't Eko the leader?). Michael doesn't deserve Libby (or maybe she does if she reveals herself a screaming harpy who stupidly charges off into the jungle trying to get himself killed. How is he going to find Walt if he's dead?).

With a name like "Mr. Eko" (echo)... I suppose not coming back would be inexcusable. ;)

There were a couple references to colors in this ep, silver, bronze and orange. I'm sure that means something. What? I don't know.

"You never seem angry"... Frankly, I don't think I want to see Locke angry...... on second thought, yeah, I do. ;)

"Fish." Doesn't speak English and totally PWNED Ana Lucia. ::loves Jin::

How is it we can't go by one ep as it would seem without getting some kind of anvilicious hint about Jack and his divorcee/widower/I ate my wife's liver with some fava beans and some nice chianti/wife-abducted-by-aliens/what.ever status? I get it. Jack has wife angst (and it will undoubtedly feature in the later plot)... but how many times do we need to be told?

The promo for the next ep (in THREE frickin WEEKS!!) looks great... and bittersweet. Very bittersweet.

ETA. Is it just me, or does it seem like husband/wife issues are MORE prevalent this season then they were in the last? Jack and his Sarah-angst. Michael and his non-wife (Susan) angst. Hurley's mom hassling him to find a good woman. Sun's parents playing matchmaker / arranging marriages and the Jin/Sun issues (and rich, bald Mr. Lee and his American fiance he met at Harvard). Sawyer asking AL if she's married (reflecting AL's same question to Jack in Exodus) and saying she's the type. Bernard/Rose. Even Eko, a character we've seen for like five minutes tops, seems to have marriage angst. I know balance and pairs are really big in this show, that's probably why... but it seems more than that too.

Even though I'm growing a little found of Ana Lucia, I also have much loved for Jin totally pwning her at fishing.

[agnes-bean.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, and Eko rocks all.

I said almost the same thing in my Xanga about Jin/Fish/Ana-Lucia.

The flashbacks were kind of pointless, but I do love Jin and Sun. The parallel plots weren't genius and didn't really push the story, but at least they were well-written.

Eko is a tracker... and Locke is a tracker. Future showdown maybe? Eko seems like a nice guy (although maybe just a tad creepy with his introduction) and he may not be confrontational with Locke... but... I can already feel an Eko / Locke showdown would rock.

I really like Jin/Sun too, which helps. Maybe it's because the flashbacks do feel more emotionally based as opposed to plot-driven and takes some more getting used to?

[agnes-bean.livejournal.com]

It would rock. And Eko would win.

Actually, given that Locke is a main character, Eko probably would not win. But he should, because he is that cool.

Sent you the wrong link. My Xanga Lost Rant

[mrstater.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think that's it. Thank goodness Jin and Sun's were better than, oh, Michael's and Jack's.

Eko looks stronger, but Locke would probably outsmart him somehow... or he'd pray to the creepy island forces or whatnot then Lostzilla carries him away to the bowels of Craphole. :cringes: Then again, give "Adebisi" a few more eps and he could probably give Locke a good run in the uberfreak department (but I'd rather not see Eko go there, this show has enough freaks as it is).

[eido.livejournal.com]

Word. Give me Jin and/or Sun any day over Michael or Jack. Bah.

I don't know if anything will change my opinion of Ana Lucia (unfortunately, I just don't like Michelle Rodriguez and I'm having considerable difficulty separating her from her character)... but oh! The fish PWNING was shweeet. [/fangirls] I suppose we now know what "Move over amateur" sounds like in Korean? If he didn't say that (or something on the lines) he has more restraint than I ever would have had. ;)

Nice rant, although truthfully, I think poor Jin has said more English words in this ep than any other. Hopefully he'll learn English soon, they'll kill Michael and Jin can make friends with someone else... but since I like Jin, he'll probably die long before Michael ever will. *sighs*

[mrstater.livejournal.com]

Yes, Jin did speak lots of English. He just said Michael SO often that I started laughing whenever he said it. Hee.

[eido.livejournal.com]

And tell the truth, are you rewinding and watching that promo in slo-mo? Repeatedly?

[mrstater.livejournal.com]

Haven't yet, because we didn't copy. But I will tomorrow. :)
