Lost 4.02 (spoilers, of course)

[alliecat8]

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*

I actually like the newbies too...I think Lost has finally learned how to add people without being awkward about it.

I quite like Daniel. Although I fear he may be crazy. Not that that'll keep me from loving him if so, of course.

I think Lost has finally learned how to add people without being awkward about it.

Agreed. *high-fives* And it's about damn time!

I think Daniel could easily be pushed over the edge into a nervous breakdown. He seems like he's already a long way down the road toward that destination. But what's one more loony when you've got an island full of 'em? ;)
