11/9/06 episode

[Zeli]

so what'd ya think?

i didnt like the goody-goody that Mal played. and I really didnt get why they put that backstory in. maybe there is more that will come out in later episodes or something.

so is kate supposed to run alone or is sawyer supposed to go too?

jack doesnt know that they are on a different island, does he?

I enjoyed Jack's turn at the end, but I am getting really really tired of new questions with absolutely no answers to other ones. It is way too much to keep track of. There are still things from season 1 that have never been addressed. It makes me think that they are just making stuff up and never really thinking out the answers ahead of time.

I hope I am wrong, and will check it out when it returns, but they better start answering some stuff ASAP.

This episode disappointed me a little. I think I had too high expectations for some great cliff hanger. I was so excited to see Mal from Firefly back in action but felt he just wasn't playing a very interesting character. I dunno. Last season was soo good. This season is eh..ok so far.

I feel the same way. I'm a bit frustrated with the show at this point.

I'm no psychologist, but some personalities keep getting messed with and it really gets to me...kinda jerks me out of the whole experience. Some people get killed off for seemingly no reason (other than actors wanting to be written out by the show I think...writers have to think something up rather quickly), it takes way too long for anything to happen, and everyone is kinda giving up it seems...save for maybe Jack. (Like WTF happened to Sawyer? He's ready to just call it quits...option a.) Sit there and let the "others" pick on you and make you work on breaking up rocks or b.) Have some sense of self-preservation and make a run for it because stranger things have happened and maybe, just maybe, you can make it back to your friends...hell, they may be on that island for all you know so stop being such a pansy and fight!)

There's just too much farting around this season as well (or it seems like it) when friends are in danger/missing and people are just behaving rather silly like LEAVING A FREAKIN' BOAT ALMOST UNATTENDED TO WHILE YOU PLAN SOME STUPID AMBUSH!!! You're on an island and want to get off of it...boats work very well in those scenarios...not to mention you can also explore the darned island a bit easier.

Oh...and, of course, no one knows how to communicate properly again...everything is a secret and since the writers seem to have no idea how to explain anything, they just keep shifting focus to new oddities in order to keep us watching.

Recently I feel as if I'm being punched in the gut each time I watch the show.

OH, and what's with the new blood? I was hoping they would be sharing the same fate as the extra away team members on Star Trek...but noooooo...I think they're trying to bring them into the storyline and they bug me...ok, the lady is kinda hot...but that's beside the point!

Meh...so tired...I'm going to go try to convince Jen to watch Battlestar Galactica...she didn't want to get into it (even after Mal and Athene tell us how great it is whenever we see them)...I need something new to watch...it's time we had a sit-down.

[Aberrant]

Battlestar Galactica is great.

I agree about Mal being a totally uninteresting character. That dude does not have good luck getting married on television.

Oh, did you all see Slither yet? That horror movie where Fillion plays the lead?

It's pretty fun...and he does a great job, IMHO.
