Lost! Season Premiere : who else is getting their emotions fucked with by JJ Abrams?

Oh man, that was a good one! And yes, I got choked up.

The number of times I was all on the edge of my seat (and I'm on the floor) and waving my arms around like an idiot screeching "EEEEEEeeeeee!" - too many to count.

I couldn't wait, too much damn suspense. And the thing at the end with sarah, good stuff.

posted by puke & cry 21 September | 22:18

That was awesome, although my friend and I totally called Desmond being the dude in the hatch.

posted by gaspode 21 September | 23:13

Yeah, I called that one too. It was pretty obvious. Anyone else think he has something to do with Sarah's miraculous recovery?

and maybe Locke's as well?

I haven't downloa...errr, watched it yet. I'm deciding whether or not to downloa...errr, watch it, or downloa...errr, watch another episode of Desperate Housewives (I hang my head in shame, but I LOVE FELICITY HUFFMAN AND I HATE THE FACT THAT SHE IS MRS. LUNDEGAARDE BECAUSE I LOVE HIM TOO) before I have to catch a little bit of shuteye before getting out of town and into the country where they don't have broadba...errrr TVs.

You want to do download it. Oh, you do.

I do. I am. I'll just have to drink two Red Bulls tomorrow in the car. Shhh.

I thought that more was revealed in this first episode than was revealed in the last four episodes of the last season.

Good, good, goooood.

Fantastic, even.

You mean I should have kept watching after it got laborious in the middle of its first season? Damn!

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

So was anyone able to make out what Walt was saying? And when Sarah first wakes up in ICU, when Jack is a little too brutal with her prognosis, is that Rousseau at the bottom of the frame? And when Desmond says "see you in another life," is that a clue? And why was Michelle Rodriguez in the credits, did we see her? And and and...

To recap.

deanyboy, shouldn't that be "epidode 6 of the firdt deries"?

I missed this first time around, then bought the dvd box set... boy howdy, it took a while, but I love it now.

I just wish I got more than one measly hour per week.

Oh, and something good better happen next week.

I turned down a date to see this show tonight. Then I turn on the tv earlier in the evening and my (illegal) cable is gone. Thankfully there's a Radio Shack near my house, though that channel comes in pretty fuzzy on antenna.

Yes, I know all of this is pretty pathetic. I love this show.

OMG i wuz watching but then a fire alarm went off in my building and I wuz like "oh shit no way" and i wuz waiting on the edge of my seat for a commercial but then i wuz like oh shit what if its a real fire? so I ran outside, but it was just a false alarm, so I ran back inside, AND IT WAS AT COMMERCIAL.

so i started to drink. heavily.

seanyboy : You have my sympathies. I started watching Lost in Iceland... a good half-season behind everybody else. Season finale in the US had already past by the time I moved back stateside and I had only seen up to episode 10. The nerve!

I bought the DVDs of season 1 as soon as they came out and watched the remaining 14 episodes over the course of three days (much to my husband's chagrin, I did not watch them all in a row).

Some of my friends believe that the show has gotten too absurd, what with this guy in the hatch and all, but I do not care. I can not get enough. IT IS LIKE CRACK. SWEET SWEET CRACK.

posted by grapefruitmoon 22 September | 07:01

Crack indeed. I need another hit NOW!
