Lost

The third season of Lost premiered last night, and OMG, it was good. Especially the opening scene - that was the best!

This is the first time I have watched Lost "live". It's certainly strange watching it with ads and not being able to move onto the next episode right away. That show is seriously like a drug: it leaves you wanting more, and you want it right away.

Warning: spoiler - if you haven't seen last night's episode, stop reading....






The whole episode was great, but I want to talk about the opening scene: at first I thought the woman was Pen, since that's the last person we saw on screen at the end of season two. And because the house looked "normal", I thought maybe the show was opening in the "civilized" world.

When the book club was taking place I began to think that this was somebody's flash back. And then the earthquake hit, so I immediately thought this scene was set in LA. And then everyone runs outside and you see "Henry" and Ethan, and suddenly it clicks, it's the island... and then you see the Oceanic Flight 815 explode in the air - what a rush. And that was only the first few minutes of the episode.

The one question the season opener did answer is what are polar bears doing on a tropical island (remember season 1?); but that was about the only question answered, while you were left asking many, many more... Can't wait till next Wednesday.

On another TV note, Colin and I have five episodes left of Battlestar Galactica season 2 to get through. We must do so by Saturday for the airing of BSG season 3.

Damn, why did television get so good again? On my curent must see TV list we have: LOST, BSG, 24, CSI: Miami, Dog the Bounty Hunter, My Name is Earl, Studio 60, ANTM
