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*

This was the best job they've ever done of introducing new people, that's for sure. A little goes a long way.

I think Charlotte is Shannon. She looks kind of like her, especially in her archaeology hat. Dan does look like Charlie. Last week I thought he was Paolo come back to life, though. Someone needs to get those boys a sandwich. Miles is the guy I was hating on from a different show. Jimmy Buffett is, well, Jimmy Buffett. They're making me confused with the pilot and the other pilot and the copilot from Heroes, and which one was Bernard's son again?

I just love Sawyer. The end.

I think they're finally, FINALLY getting the hang of introducing newbies. It gives me hope that they *are* capable of learning from their blunders, after all.

I guess I made a Charlotte/Claire leap because Charlotte's hat reminded me of Claire in her hat back in S1. But is Charlotte a redhead? She didn't look like it in Tunisia, but when it was all wet on the island it did. The island needs a redhead. Just once, I wanna see somebody get sun-poisoning so I can say *neener*.

Anyhow, Sawyer fills all our hair-fetish needs, so who cares about the new girl? ;)

I thought she looked blonde in the desert, too, but on the island she's redheaded. Although I still think if anyone's going to get sun poisoning it's Claire, poor thing.

You're right, of course, Sawyer's hair is all we need!!! (Well, and a few other parts of him. ;)
