[4.1]

dearest jj abrams,

i forgive you for alias season 3, and the train wreck that it was. you won my heart the very first time that felicity porter voiced her first, “hey” so of course i stuck with you for all of last season. i hated lauren, and her eyebrows. i loved to hate lauren. and then i loved to see lauren go(even with her new, better eyebrows). you gave us a tiny dose of will, new sexy shirtless will i might add. i loved sark. i missed sloane. and i stood by while you dumbed down one of the smartest hours on tv. i know it wasn’t your fault. the last three years no one was watching abc, they were scared. i know you and your running love of reinvention, the whole "new version of you". i lived through it time and time again on felicity and now it’s a huge part of lost. so i look at season 4 as your chance to shine. your chance to tell the stories you always wanted to tell, and the stories you did tell, this time with an audience. you even made marshall less like the cartoon he became last season, and more like the loveable dork we knew from seasons 1&2.

“we had eggs”
“am I dead?”
“syd, sloane’s behind you.”

awesome.

i couldn't have asked for a better season opener. well i could but the chances of an episode with a little sark on will action doesn't seem to be in the cards. so thank you for last night. the whole in my heart on wednesday nights that the wb created by axing felicity has now been filled.

p.s. the, “get in” scene with spydaddy, i can’t tell you how much that made me smile.
p.p.s. richard as syd’s "new partner”, too funny.
p.p.p.s. more meghan please, like now.
