I've called in sick to work.
I'm dressed like Jack when he was on the Island. Wife is dressed like Kate. I'm eating coconuts for lunch. And wiping my ass with a leaf. I'm pumped. |

I can't wait for this show to come back on so I can return to my cycle of loving the show while I'm not watching it, and hating it when I am. It's stupid fun teetering on the edge of trainwreck.

I know how you feel. It's the only show I have to read recaps of the next day to find out everything I missed. "When you blowup the photo you can clearly see that the book on Kate's nightstand was the same book found on Hurley's book shelf (3rd row, 12th book in). Coincidentally, if you go to page 12, paragraph 3 of that book it gives you a clue about time travel."

No freakin' shit. People on CP and other sites see all this shit....I see a small crack in the door of the plane and think "Hey, there's a small crack on the door to the plane." Other people see it and think "Hey, that crack on the door of plane is the same shape as drawn on page 124 of the book that referenced the early teachings of Obama, which means that Jack will get a case of herpes in the next episode." |

I think this show was meant to go one or two seasons, it turned into a cash cow and now these writers are making shit up almost as they go along ala Sopranos after season 3 or 4.

My biggest problem with Lost in general is that they kept broadening the show's scope instead of staying within a manageable framework, to the point last season when the show was utterly insane. Every sci-fi show creates its own logic, but Lost kept expanding.
I really liked this episode. As crazy as this show is now in comparison to when it started, this premier stayed within that logic created last season (mainly Faraday's time travel) and actually seemed reasonable considering the premise. Nearly every movie and show that deals with time travel inevitably leaves loopholes, but this was a solid effort. I'm interested to see how well they can keep it together having several months to put this season together. My only real complaint this episode (aside from Hurley's character turn on the boat) stems from a common problem with shows like Lost: it promotes analyzation, so reveals are rarely surprising. It's my fault, but the second they show a shadowy figure, or obscure a face, I start thinking of all possible characters, and by the time the revelation occurs, I've at least thought of it. That said, totally wasn't expecting Nerdlington to catch a flaming arrow in the chest. I marked out. |

I know they don't want to keep introducing new characters, but at the same time, you can't have every single character carry some huge part of the story and be perfectly set up. It seems like a safe bet that Hurley telling his mom about the island is going to come back around in the last season and she is going to save the day because, hey, every single thing has a purpose in the show. |

I feel sorry for anyone who has to write episode recaps this year. Lots of jumping around.
I still think the time travel storyline is a complete cop-out. It's too easy to use it and abuse it to fill in holes in the story. Even last night, Farraday says you can't change the future going back in the past. Then Farraday does just that by making contact with Desmond and telling him to go to Oxford. Also, if you can't go back and change things then why run away from the flaming arrows. If nothing can be changed (and you can't prevent the plane from crashing in the first place) then why worry about getting hit with an arrow, you'll be around in the future anyway.
