Lost has been really good this season and last weeks episode didn’t disappoint. I’m so glad that with just one more season left they’re really giving us a long hard look at what is and has been going on. Previously, in situations such as that presented in last weeks episode, when presented with a place as mysterious and interesting as ‘the temple’ they would have cut away and not really shown anything. Nowadays they’re really opening the floodgates of information. I particularly liked what happened when Lapidus rejoined the crash survivors and I think it hints at what happened with Danielle’s friends.
One piece of information I hadn’t thought on which occured to me last night. The scene where Ben and a young Ethan are skulking about Danielle’s shack intending to kill her suddenly made me think “Wait, that’s Ethan: son-of-dharma-woman-from-24. How the heck did he join the others if Ben killed them all?” Interesting things occuring in the land of Lost and I look forward to next week.
Heroes on the other hand is absolute rubbish. After having a promising season 1 the show has gone downhill dramatically. Every episode feels like filler, which isn’t surprising considering they fired to of the lead writers of the show. I keep watching it in the vain hope that my patience is going to pay off but I am increasingly losing hope.
An example, this weeks episode it was revealed that Angela had a sister who miraculously was still alive and kicking at the same place she’d been left 50 years ago. The purpose for introducing her? Who the fuck knows, but I sure as hell don’t give a damn about her. Where nearly every episode of season 1 had great momentum, featuring a multitude of character arcs, these days every episode drags on interminably.
There’s another show I’ve started watching, but I’m not sure about it yet: Fringe.
I love heroes! S3 is the best yet I think (well, better than 2). Sylar just makes the show though, so evil and he loves it :)
Fringe is great, a slow starter perhaps. We are on… 16 or 17, not sure, but it’s now something to look forward to.
Was surprised you never commented on the end of BSG?
(get distracted… oo look, is that 3.1? oooo)
Help me I’m dying with this.
Thanks to my mild amnesia, what happened to Faraday again when they went to the 70s? Did he come with? This part totally slipped my mind.
Oh yeah, actually I thought the ending of BSG was bloody brilliant. Loved it totally, just upset about all the filler crap we had to endure to get there.
You’re right about Sylar. Can you imagine the show without him?
Re: Faraday, According to Sawyer he was with them but something happened. There’s an episode coming in 3 weeks that’s all about him and what happened with him.
I fell off the Lost bandwagon a while ago, but have been thinking about watching it again lately. Heroes is still fantastic, and like Kevin, I also think S3 is the best. S2 was rushed, which is understandable, what with the writer’s strike and all.
And you must watch Fringe! I wasn’t so sure about it at first too, but then my brother’s Fringe obsession rubbed off on me and I discovered that it’s surprisingly good.
