Episode 14

This episode centres on Walt and Michael, with flashbacks of how Walt ended up not knowing his father, and living in Australia. As well as how Michael regained custody. We also see more hints that Walt is, as the episode title suggests, special.

But this show would want to start doing a little more than hinting.
I mean I do get that there are a whole load of characters and they all have their own backstories, but Lost is starting to drag. The problem, I think, is that every aspect of the story is arc-base. There is no resolution at all in any of the episodes, everything is focused on what happens next.

Episode # 13

A good episode here. I didn’t review the previous one Whatever the Case May Be because it wasn’t good and I didn’t have anything to say about it. This one however was very, very interesting.

We got to see Boone’s flashbacks, and they said a fair bit about his and Shannon’s history. I have to say I was a little unsure of their exact relationship and once we saw a little of their past it was safe to say there was no way they were just brother and sister.

Ep. # 11

You know Lost is starting to bug me. The storylines are interesting and the mysterious island is a great device. Throwing all these people together, the never knowing quite what to expect. All interesting and promising much.

But despite this I often just don’t care what happens. Maybe it is down to Jack. I’ve said all along I don’t like him, and I haven’t changed my mind yet. But there is also the fact that he is a total fool, and I don’t really know why the others think he is such a great leader. I’m willing to accept that he is a great doc., but his mad running around in the jungle in this episode. What was that all about?

Maybe I’m being too harsh?

Also, most of this episode seemed to provide an opportunity for more Jack flashbacks. Bored Now!
Still, there were some interesting developments. First off, that Ethan was pretty dangerous don’t you think? And Sayid and Sawyer seemed to have resolved at least some of their differences. Although I never bought Sawyer as the “bad guy”, he was too OTT at the start. Sayid’s character I do like, and i think his past is kinda interesting.

Of course the big development this week was what happened to Charlie and Claire. Claire is still missing, why do the mysterious jungle-people want her? As for Charlie, Show Spoilers ▼

And then there is that little kid. He seems very lucky, don’t you think?

Episode 1.09 - written by David Fury

I haven’t reviewed an episode of Lost in a while, mainly because I’ve been getting a little bored. Every episode seems to follow the same pattern with the flashbacks and the finding out the background of whomever is in the starring role

And although this episode did have the same general structure, focusing on Sayid’s past, it fitted in really well with the rest of the storylines. I do think that some aspects of Lost are pretty obvious. I mean that whole moth storyline in the Charlie flashback episode? And Sawyer was clearly not going to be all bad.

Maybe this was more enjoyable to me because leader-boy didn’t have such a starring role. Too busy off playing golf.

Plus the introduction of the French woman. And the mention of the others, whoever they may be. What did she mean by sick? I do like the way we get hints of what may be to come. Hopefully the next few episodes will stay this good. After the moth episode I was tempted to give up.

Episode 1.05 - written by Christian Taylor

The realities of being ship-wrecked (plane wrecked doesn’t sound right does it?) begin to set in. Water is in short supply, and there is a death. Bringing the number of survivors down to 46. (spoilers if you read on) Continue Reading »

Episode 1.04 - written by David Fury

Okay, so far we know that there are around 48 survivors of the plane crash, that there is some huge weird beast living on the island, that there are polar bears in the jungle, and that people aren’t straightforward (although I guess we should know that from real life right?).

This episode concentrates on Locke, the more-than-slightly odd fella.
The group are interrupted (scared) by some wild pigs in the middle of night. Next day Locke comes up with a plan for hunting them, which is kind of important, seeing as they’ve eaten most of the food.

So a small group goes off a hunting pigs. Kate too, but she is more concerned with placing an antenna so Sayid can try to trace the power source of the mysterious French broadcast. Trouble is, despite Locke’s plan things don’t turn out to well and Michael ends up gored/gashed by a pig. Kate tries to help him back to the beach, with a little stop along the way to place the antenna. Only for the mysterious beastie to make an appearance, and, by the looks of it, head off to eat Locke who is still in hot pursuit of the bacon.

But Locke returns safe and sound, and with pig! Not only that, but we know he saw the beast up close and personal, yet when Jack asks him about it, he denies having seen it.

Then there is the issue of the mysterious person Jack kept seeing. And the fact that he was very uncomfortable with the idea of a memorial service for the dead people (they’ve now been burned).

But overall, I’d say this was my favourite episode so far, any coincidence that it was written by “The Fury�??

Episode 1.03 - written by Damon Lindelof

This basically follows on from episode one. We learn a bit more about some of the survivors, mainly through flach-back. But overall I’m still failing to see why this has been so hyped. Still I’ve been told that once we get to episode #4 everyone who watches will be hooked.

This episode is mainly about Kate, but there is some interesting interaction with Sawyer. Despite his claims to be “living in the wild” he was clearly upset at being the one to “put the marshal out of his misery” not to mention not doing it right.

So, still watchable, but nothing to write home about
