Well...there goes another ep.....I can't really explain my relationship with LOST....I know it all started with JJ Abrams back in the day, as a big Alias fan, and also a fan of television dramas. But when it had buzz coming out of the US 6 months before we got to see it, I knew I would watch it....And even though I am pretty sure I have seen every episode ever....at least in the last 3 seasons anyways....I have very little recollection of the first 2....but I don't think I ever missed one....anyways thats what recaps are for.
When it comes to LOST my brain is a bit of a sieve. I mean its a lot of information to take in in 42 minutes (or 60 with ad breaks)....My brain has never functioned the way LOST really needed it to. I am fan of SO many shows that there is just not room to focus on every little detail that the writers throw at us each week.
I must say though, its amazing how I never gave up on it. - Mostly because my friends wouldn't let me, they fuelled my interest, and once I started downloading it and was able to watch it when I was awake, and without ads, I was able to really get into the whole thing.
Now I'm not some really smart fan who has all these theories....I've always watched for the characters mainly. I find it funny how I hated Juliet for so long, then loved her just in time for her to die....-A serious theme with me....my fave characters always die.
Speaking of which....I always said that I would never be able to make predictions...but based on last week's ep, I think Kate is gonna die....which would suck....but then I have this feeling that they are pretty much all gonna die. Except maybe the candidate....which may or may not be Jack....I never liked Jack much, even in the beginning... It could also be Hurley...he's got some stuff going on there...
Oh and I must comment on this weeks Allison Janney ep (which I have to call it, instead of this weeks ep with Allison Janney). It was really weird watching Allison Janney as a guest star in a show like LOST. Different to how I felt when she guest starred in In Plain Sight, because that was Stunt Casting really. They got another West Wing actor to play a similar type role. But this was totally different. And I must disagree with the reviewer that commented on this ep, and said all they could think about was C.J Cregg.....I never thought about CJ. I guess that might be because I have always felt Allison Janney is one of those people, like Meryl Streep, who can play anything, and it never feels like the same character. It might also have to do with the fact that my love of AJ goes all the way back to 10 Things I Hate About You.....and goes through many other of movies. The West Wing came later.
I thought Allison was awesome in the ep....her character however created many new questions...SOOOO helpfull with only a couple eps left EVER! Not to mention, how crazy/evil/bad she was!
Oh well.....time will tell....or not...I have a feeling that everyone is gonna feel very unsatisfied with the finale....I bet it will answer hardly anything, and create a whole world of new questions....they are just THAT good at it!
One more ep this Tues/Wed, then the big finale Sunday, which will be aired at Ness' LOST finale party on Tuesday Australian time. It'll be fun to watch together, maybe we can help each other keep track of what's going on....and stop some of us who might be inclined to cry if we were viewing it alone, to do so in a group!
-Side note.....I gotta say, Allison Janney has the most honest, kind eyes. Oh and if ever someone makes a movie about me....I want AJ to play my mum :P
