It's Not Survivor, It's Better
Who's glad that Lost is back showing new episodes? This guy. I've been watching episodes from the Season 1 DVDs I got for Christmas just about every evening since I got back up here, in preparation for the second half of this season. I have to say, watching everything this close together really makes me appreciate the details the writers put into this show. I also have to say that Mr. Eko is pretty much the one guy on the island I'd want to have on my side.
At any rate, I'm continually impressed with this series, and as I've watched some of the bits and pieces I missed from last season, I'll take back at least one of my nitpicky rants: in a couple of episodes, we actually do see some of the guys shaving, thereby laying the whole facial hair issue to rest for me. I could mention that this doesn't explain why Jack is the only one whose hair doesn't seem to get longer, but that would just be getting anal about it.
If you don't watch the show, don't worry, I'm not turning this into a TV blog. I just felt like I had to get all this out there for the kids.
One last thing, though, for those of you who do watch: what's with the smoke stuff? Too cheesy? Too cool?
I've always thought the black smoke was a little weird/cheesy from the beginning, but in last night's episode I thought it went too far on the cheesy side. If they are going to do something with the smoke I think they need to get some cooler special effects so it looks a bit more realistic, or at least something less cheesy. But oh well, I'll still keep watching regardless of the cheese factor!
It doesn't get any more cheesy than the black smoke!
