So I'm still pretty new to this blogging-a-show-before-everyone's-watched-it thing. A few thoughts out here, then we'll move it into the comments.
- First things first: this show uses music like nobody's business. I will never hear "Make Your Own Kind of Music" in quite the same way again.
- The opening sequence rocked. I'm not sure how it will impact the rest of the season (not to mention all future seasons), but it rocked.
- After those first few minutes, the rest of the episode was fairly rote. Yeah, yeah, yeah, get back to the important stuff. The world needs fewer Jack flashbacks (although the "I'm intense" comment got a big laugh). And, um, can we have the sun rise already? This episode was really frigging dark. Literally.
- But man, do we love Locke or what? I am a particular fan of that great light-up-the-interminable-night smile he has when someone standing behind him says something that resonates with him. Hurley got one, Kate got one, and I think one other person got one.
- And really, there are a whole lot of questions that need some answering -- you can't expect all of them to be answered at once in a single season premiere, can you? So bring on your numbers questions, your raft questions, your Others and Walt questions yearning to breathe free. All in good time.
See ya in the comments, where we shall spoil freely.
