(29 of 82) If this episode was a movie I would have to label it a “Chick Flick.” In the off island flashbacks we get to see how Sun and Jin met in Korea and on one side of island we get a little bit of Jin wondering about Sun and on the other side of the island a lot of Sun wondering about Jin.
Currently there is one TV show that I make an effort to watch “live” and that is House. Every Tuesday at 8:00 PM I tune the TV to Fox and enjoy. This morning, approximately 12 hours after the appointed time, I realized that I forgot to watch. Damn, now I have to stay away from Polite Dissent. Hey, wait a minute, I’m downloading Mad Men torrents, what’s one more?
(28/82) In the flashbacks we see how Hurley’s life changed when he won the lottery and on the island we see how it changes when he is put in charge of the food stash found in the hatch.
We finished watching Season 1 of Mad Men last night and returned the DVDs today. When I first started watching the shows I thought they had the period down pat, the clothing, the furniture, the attitudes towards women and the smoking, everyone lights up…, but the characters and the drama was as superficial as the advertising that they did for their living. The lead, Don Draper, is an interesting character because they have taken great pains to show it to us, but now after viewing 13 episodes I see that he is surrounded by others that are just as intriguing and I hope we start to explore them in the coming seasons. As we speak I’m downloading season two torrents.
Twenty seven of eighty two finds flashback Locke finding love and then losing it because of his obsession with his father while on island Locke finds a replacement obsession — the button.
“We’re gonna have to watch that again.”
I am watching baseball in the cold Philadelphia rain and have seen a couple of interesting commercials (one of which is not Ryan Howard of the Phillies schilling for Subway’s Philly cheese steak sub.) First up was an ad for chemistry.com an internet “dating” site, it shows two people holding hands in the produce department and discussing how nice it is to have found someone so compatible. Both individuals are men. Two commercials later was one for the new Seth Rogan comedy called Zack and Miri Make a Porno. At the end of the commercial they called the movie just Zack and Miri.
Episode #26 unfolds in typical soap opera fashion as we spend an hour and progress the story 5 minutes, mostly with a flashback involving Micheal and his original separation from Walt as a follow up to him losing him again to the “others.” A full third of the show is spent rehashing Locke, Jack & Kate entering the hatch as we saw in the last episode and progressing nowhere. The most exiting thing that happened was Kate getting locked in a closet in the hatch and discovering chocolate bars.
