Let season 3 begin! (finally!)
I have given up the girls’ weekly “Idol Watch” parties in favor of watching “Lost” at home with dh, and last night was a great reason why. I will leave the most excellent recapping to mac over at Film Fodder, but I had to comment on last night’s epi. (and I can hardly wait until mac’s review!)
The writers apparently knew we would need a very different kind of episode to keep the interest from waning. I don’t know if they read fan blogs, but there are many Lost fans who are turned off by the way this season has played out. Last night brought us back. It wasn’t a great episode as far as revealing any mysteries, or answering lots of questions – in fact, the show asked many of the same questions fans are asking: do the others have more than one boat? where are Walt and Michael? where is Jack? why didn’t Sawyer ASK THE QUESTION to Carl? where is the Others’ camp? – but as far as fan interest and renewing the personal dynamic of the survivors, it was great.
And now, a brief rundown of my top 3 lines from the show:
3)Â Nikki/Paulo: “Oh, no, we’re out of Dharma oat bars” “We’re out?” “Yeah”….insert meaningless drivel here…”I’m going to go get some bananas”
2) Sawyer (to Jin after Jin says “good see you” in English to Sawyer): “Well, looky here. Somebody’s ‘Hooked on Phonics’!”
And the #1 moment in last night’s episode:
1)Â Hugo’s dad (to Hurley & his mother at dinner, looking at a gold statue of Jesus):Â Â “That’s a he** of a Jesus.”
In all fairness, these were definitely honorable mention:
Jin, Sawyer, Charlie & Hurley doing donuts in the Dharmabus
Hurley reprimanding Sawyer for being disrespectful to the poor Dharmadrone found in the Dharmabus: “Hey, man, respect the dead. That guys’ got a name, and it’s not Skeletor. It’s Roger Workman.”
Hurley attempting to play Sawyer’s game with name-calling: “You red-necked man”
Dharma beer! (and you gotta love Sawyer carrying a case of it back to his tent)
Jin & Hurley pulling Roger Workman out of the Dharmabus and the head falls off: “We’ll get that later.” Later: Sawyer: “Aaigh! What’s a head doing back here!” Hurley: “Oh, that’s just Roger.”
And last, but not least, the meteor crashing into Hurley’s chicken joint & diamond bar.
All that stuff about Kate looking for Jack, with Sayid & Locke following her and finding Rousseau in the jungle…filler. Check out mac’s recap later today. It’s bound to be good!
I’ll recap Idol & Survivor later. Gotta get my Idol picks for the girls narrowed down. Guys going home: Sanjaya & Nick.
