LOST: "Special"

[rj_anderson]

Yes, I finally got my computer back and was able to see this. Haven't caught this week's TAR yet, but I was a weak person and got someone to tell me what happened, so I may never get around to watching that one. Lost, though... I may have a little difficulty staying away from spoilers in the form of promo pics, but otherwise, if you try to tell

Hive mind! I just came over here to ask the same thing! It appears to be down, and I've spent the last hour surfing aimlessly, lost.

Speaking of Lost, (worst segway EVAH!) I saw this episode - it's only the 2nd episode of the show I've watched, and I enjoyed it. I concur that Harold Perrineau is great; I always liked him on Oz. The other episode was about the bald guy who's befriended Walt and the ending of that episode. Just. Killed. Me. If only someone would remind me to turn on the TV every Wed. I could really get into this series.

Especially when he took the entire blame on himself for coming to collect Walt, rather than tell the truth and give Walt cause to feel he'd lost both of the only parents he'd ever known -- that got me right. here. *thumps chest*

Me too! jcobleigh was also affected by this realization. Michael has a wonderful combination of nobility and immaturity in him. It makes complete sense that he doesn't have good parenting skills yet. Walt's knife-throwing ability and tendency to "have weird things happen to him" could be a interesting plot devices...I'm looking forward to him not being treated as just a kid on the show; after all, he's the only kid--he'll mature and grow up quickly. I'm just hoping Michael gets that sooner rather than later.

And Locke the Wise Father? Locke just keeps getting cooler. LOL on the Batman and Robin comparison! "...if Batman had a serenely sunny disposition and Robin needed to lighten up." I completely agree with your assessment of Boone. Way too pretty before. Now he's getting better, though the whole sidekick-puppy-dog-

Anyone who's read this far presumably doesn't care about spoilers.

Boone and Locke are in the jungle, while Locke whistles for Vincent. Something rustles in the undergrowth. Locke grips his knife. He and Boone go tense. It's too big to be a dog -- is it the Unconvincing CGI Bear? No -- wait --

The branches part and a figure stumbles into the half-light, with tangled hair and a mud-streaked face. Locke breathes the answer: "Claire?"

THE END. Or should I say, TO BE CONTINUED?

[jcobleigh]

Thank you. I was really annoyed with our VCR/Cable Company since we got to watch Locke and Boone tense, but missed the branches parting.

Yes, missing a cliffhanger is always most annoying. Glad I could help.

Hurley, as always: hilarious. When does this guy get his own episode? Is his backstory that irrelevant/boring, or is it actually so explosively relevant that they're saving it for sweeps?

I think I read and interview or something somewhere that said we won't get Hurley's backstory until pretty much the end of the season. *woe*

As others have remarked, the CGI on the polar bear was hilariously bad.

Yes. Yes it was.

...man, for a show that basically had the most expensive pilot EVER, you'd think they'd have decent computer dudes working for them.

Unless they spent most of their budget on the pilot, lol.

Did anybody pay attention to the other things in Walt's comic book? I remember catching a glimpse of an evil-looking purple alien strapped (?) to a chair and hooked up like a medical experiment (?); a city in a transparent bubble; and of course the polar bear.I wonder if the alien has connections to Michael’s accident and recuperation? I can only imagine he'd be black and blue (and purple!) and hooked up to things for a good
