alliecat8 | Lost 4.02 (spoilers, of course)

I like the new people. Y'all are gonna skin me alive, aren't you? Should I hide under the bed?

Okay, first impressions:

Daniel: He's awfully cute in a nervous-academic-type way. He reminds me of my next-door neighbor, who's a sweetheart. He (Dan, not the n.d.n., is a terrible liar, though. "Noooooo, that didn't come from our...er, yes it did, eep." Lol.)

Miles: He's a badass and I like badasses, especially when they combine it with snark. Okay, his being a ghostbuster has the potential for future cheez, but for now, he's got my attention.

Charlotte: She's a fanatic of some type. Could be good, could be bad. She's a typical Lost noob, I guess.

The pilot...uh, Frank? What was his name, y'all?: I like him a lot. Jimmy Buffett comes to Craphole Island, eeeeeeeee!!! Now, as long as he doesn't go 'round singing "Why don't we get drunk and screw" where Sawyer and Kate can hear it, he gets to be my new BFF. ;)

I think I need to start a new feature in my reviews called "similarities and repetitions", because you just can't shake a Jesus stick on Lost without hitting one. Okay, maybe we've never had a "Miles" before (have we?), but all the other names are repeats. And resemblances -- I might be reaching for a couple of these -- Dan could pass for Charlie's older brother. Not Liam. Another, geekier older brother. Charlotte and Miles, eh, possibly Claire and Jin; I'd never have seen any connection there if it weren't for, OMG, the pilot (dammit, I'm trying to get this posted before I re-watch, what IS his name???). Close your eyes and listen to his voice. He's LOCKE! Or he's Locke's ventriloquist's dummy or something. I wanna shave him and see if they look alike under the facial hair.

So, the verdict: As long as the new people don't take time away from my old people *clings*, they can stay awhile. Y'know, until the smoke monster gets them or I decide they're evil.

Tomorrow I'll ramble about who-all got pwned. *cough*kate*cough*

Oh, so I'm not the only one who made a Pace connection with Dan! Except that mine was all, "You are Charlie before Charlie made me want to punch him until he fell down. This is adorable, carry on." I would really like for him to have gen time with Sayid now and wind up spilling his fluttery little guts all over the place while Sayid is like, "I would not be half as emotionally stunted if all of my interrogations had been this easy." He is smishy and adorable.

(I like all of the newbies and am willing to give Miles the benefit of the doubt-at least I can see why he has a good place on the show even though I don't feel any real empathetic connection with him-but I won't lie to you: I laughed long and hard when Charlotte got pwninated.)

Yup, me too...I've learned with Lost not to pin my hopes on ANY female's chances living up to standards, so I'm just gonna adopt a wait 'n see attitude and see how she takes what the islanders dish out. I think I've got a better take on how Dan and Miles will handle it (kinda a Jeckyll & Hyde pair, aren't they), and I suspect that Frank'll just follow Desmond's lead and ingest the 100-proof antidote. And hey, if the island is invisible to outsiders (and therefore no pesky DEA planes flying overhead), it'd make one hell of a place to grow weed of the wonky variety. Forget Craphole Island, they've found Margaritaville!!!
