[LOST]

i really liked last night's episode. i'm really digging kate. and the concept of how all their lives ended when they landed on the island and they all have fresh starts. a chance to become new versions of themselves. a theme JJ Abrams seems to embrace (now i have the felicity theme song v. 2.0 stuck in my head). anyway, just as the episode was coming to a close i thought to myself, if this was felicity or alias some sort of song would begin about now, i guess he's going to try and stay away from that with his new baby. and sure enough, insert song. that made me smile. ms. k asked me my take on former director from alias. miracle guy on LOST. i told her it would be interesting if he was already on the island, and their arrival there was the miracle to him. his scar does look rather old, and it's not like you would know every single face on the plane that you were on, i mean i usually only remember the hot guys between the ages of 20 and 30, everyone else i just block out. so it's entirely possible that he was already there and everyone else just assumed that he too was a survivor form their crash. just a thought i had while i was watching what little we know of him begin to unfold last night. i also liked the concept of the back-story for each character. that would be one way of focusing on different people each week, having enough tales to tell for an entire season (like the canterbury tales, sorry my heads all over the place tonight), and then what's 22 episodes for us could have only played out over a week or so for them. that would keep them on the island for a number of seasons without too many years passing by, turning it into a new gilligan's island. that was my take on it anyway. ms. k feels that maybe it's an island of Dr. Moreau situation and that maybe he's a lab rat from a twisted experiment, and he feels comforted in the fact they he now has others there with him. no matter what the truth is, it's enough to keep us talking about it and coming back every week. not to mention the fact that mel and i finally have another friend of ours hooked on a JJ Abrams show. my only complain is that ian somerhalder isn't getting enough air time. but maybe that's just the twelve-year-old little girl in me talking.
