“There’s no place like home” Part One
I would just love to start reviewing episodes of Lost, or any TV show for that matter. Actually, that could come true sooner or later with a subdomain I might be working on.
I have this habit of preparing myself in front of the tube (no, not that Tube) at least five or so minutes before Lost starts. I just can’t miss it. By doing so, I catch a bit of Grey’s Anatomy. Last week I saw 10 minutes of it. This week about 15. I’m afraid this trend will continue until I actually start watching the show (and then prepare myself earlier and start watching the last ten minutes of the show before that…).
It’s just, I keep watching the show whenever something gets resolved or new things are implied and, like a certain other (get it: other?) TV show this blog entry is dedicated to, it leaves me wondering what will happen afterwards. Something I’ve always wondered about the show is who exactly is this (Dr.?) Grey person? Wasn’t it Sandra Oh? It’s one of those questions that could be easily answered through IMDB but where’s the fun in that?
I’m sick of having so much information just waiting for me in cyberspace. I forgot what exactly it was, but I remember one summer going to the library to find something possibly about botany. I knew I could know in seconds with the click of a mouse, but for some reason I had to find out through a different means. No, never-mind, I ended up just web searching it.
Anyway, wow, Lost really likes their Wizard of Oz references. I’m kind of bummed that there’s going to be an entire week sans my fix, but what can you do? I did wait a whole month this season between both halves of this season due to that writers’ strike, so this shouldn’t be too bad.
I realize the episode that just aired was supposed to be the first part of their usual two-parter season finales, and I noticed the lack of ‘journey’ music. They played this a few episodes ago when Sayid was getting off the boat, so this kind of undermines my next bit, but I notice they always play this “dahn-dun duh-duh-dun-dahn, duh-dun-dun-dun dun” music during every season finale when an exodus occurs. Still, there’s two more hours so maybe the music will make its triumphant return.
I’ve allowed myself at least one rant per week as a healthy writing regimen. So, without further ado: glossy paper sucks. I think glossy provides richer and overall better colours to a slightly noticeable degree, to be fair, but it’s glossy paper! It holds fingerprints like there’s no tomorrow. It also reflects light to such an annoying point. There.
I. Love. Ben. He’s the John Glover (Smallville) of Lost; the Mr. Noah Bennett of Heroes. I really wasn’t expecting a lot from him when he first guest-starred, especially considering the only other credit that came to mind was Saw. His acting is just delicious, and he complements Locke perfectly.
Saw CSI’s seventh season finale today. I think I’m fine with the major death that occurred. The ending was kind of obvious but the events leading up to it somehow worked. I’m noticing, however, a lot of black characters departing the shows I watch. I mean, colour doesn’t particularly matter to me, but it get monotonous seeing the same type of people in television. Diversity = good.
I try not to watch promos, read descriptions, or anything that could hamper my experience with Lost, but I still do. And the recent CTV one, for today’s episode, just kept getting played over and over whenever I had time to watch TV. They kept airing that scene where the plane is opening its doors. Urgh. Still, it didn’t ruin it to the point where I didn’t find that scene beautiful. It was beautiful. I’m invested in these charcters. I want to seem them be happy… at whatever ghastly price it must have been.
I have a gripe with Charlotte Lewis and Daniel Faraday. They are too mysterious. Faraday just says “rescuing you… can’t say that’s our primary objective” all the time. Charlotte is usually just there for facial reactions No, never-mind. Her character became insanely times more interesting with her sudden Korean banter with Jin. And I guess that whole constant/time travel idea is interesting whenever the writers choose to bring it up… okay, I guess they are interesting in their own occasional ways.
Juliet, Ben, and the other Others are frustrating like said characters. We know their general background, but right when Jack, Hurley, or someone else asks them a question that could potentially answer it all, they are all conveniently faced with a new daring situation. Part of me secretly likes this, but the other part is like “just tell them everything already!”
Oh Lost, the things you do to me.
