Re-Lost: Watching Season One Again
This happens from time to time. Someone I know hasn’t seen a handful of episodes from season one of Lost and we head over to their house for a DVD marathon.
Strangely enough we ended up watching episodes that were rerun this past month. The Moth, House of the Rising Sun, and Confidence Man were the episodes in this weekend’s two hour marathon.
Ed, a Locke fan, wonders when Charile will be killed off. Eugenius, a Hurley look-alike in hair and disposition, thinks Jack is a total wuss to which I say hasn’t he heard of the “You’re lucky my woman is here” excuse for not getting into a fight.
My favorite observation of the night came from Ed. Throughout the series there’s been a running gag with Sawyer and Sayid:
Whomever Sawyer threatens to kill usually ends up beating the crap out of him. Jack always gets the best of him. Ana-Lucia’s gotten his goat. And Zeke damn near shot Sawyer’s ear off.
Everyone Sayid has tortured never gave up useful information. His commanding officer revealed that a missing US chopper pilot was dead. That was his only “success” but even that couldn’t save the life of the person who was lost. His interrogation of Sawyer revealed that Sawyer didn’t have Shannon’s inhalers. And the balloon pilot never gave up the ghost.
Great stuff.
