Two Ladies & Their TVs

We love our shows so much we created a blog for it.

Lost

Whoa, this one was good and tense.  I'm not going to comment on it much, since I have two screaming twelve-year-olds who are distracting the hell out of me, but I hadn't expected a Sawyer-centric episode to be so engrossing.  The letter, that he was the one to write it when he was a kid, the torture by Sayid, that kiss (which I thought was pretty hot) between Sawyer and Kate (who made her face move a little more this episode)-- every little bit of it was excellent.  No complaints from me.  And I was glad to see Sayid show remorse; I liked him, and it re-humanized him.

However, I have no idea why Sawyer would invite the hate, and not tell them that he didn't have the asthma medication.  As an aside, Sawyer has a really nice chest.  He could lose the stubble, though-- black bristles with blonde hair... eh.

I started crying while the girl (names, names) was having her asthma attack.  Ever since I saw pieces of a documentary years ago, where kids with asthma were given camcorders and told to record video diaries, and when they had their attacks, seeing even fake asthma attacks break my heart. It's truly one of the most horrible things to watch, and seeing her struggle, and Jack calm her down, really got to me.

10/10.  Best episode yet.

You'll be really proud of me, athena, but I actually taped "Lost" to watch right before L&O. I was too curious about this Sawyer-eccentric eppy to let it pass up. Missed the one on the Korean couple. I can't believe I'm watching another show. :P

Anyway - torture, blood gushing out, EW. Very squeamish during those points and almost couldn't finish my dinner. But, looking at the big picture (as Sawyer said), it was a poignant episode. There was depth behind Sawyer after all, and I wasn't disappointed. Totally see him in a different light now.

I agree with Kate's theory on why he behaves the way he does - he wants to be hated. I'm sure out of his guilty conscience for having been a con man, and especially for having become the man he despised.

I think I'm hook, line, & sinker after this one.

BTW, can I ask, since I missed some episodes - what DID Kate do that made her a criminal?

Did you want to do the honors for the Mothership also, athena?

Whoa, hold on, fingers. "Sawyer-centric," not "Sawyer-eccentric." Doh.

The torture was very squeamish, especially the fingernails. Ergh.

They never said what Kate did. She gave Jack a chance to ask, he didn't, then changed his mind, but she said she'd given him his chance and he'd lost it. Copout!

Can you do the Mothership review? I especially wanted to hear your thoughts on the legal stuff.
