zombies in paradise

posted by catherine / February 17, 2005 /

i haven't written about "lost" in a while, but reading over this msnbc recap of last night's episode, i'm reminded of charles's theory:

Line of the week: As almost always, the best line belonged to Hurley. When helping Charlie bury Ethan, he responded to Charlie's "I killed Ethan, I can bury him" with "Yeah, until he rises from the dead." Seems that Hurley, like many viewers, isn't sure that such a powerful evil man can be killed with a simple gun.

a hint of zombies to come?

anyway, did anyone else watch the show last night? while it was somewhat slow-paced and light on freaky monsters, i thought it was a nice bit of character development. also, sawyer and kate are totally going to hit it.

UPDATE: i just have to give a nod to this local blog in their recap of last week's OC, mostly because i sprayed my monitor with caramel macchiato when i read them call rebecca, sandy's former love-interest-fugitive chick, "an animatronic butterbeast, like Abby Bartlet's slightly-younger but still melty sister." most excellent.

also noted: defamer's take on the much-hyped lesbian kiss that took place last week: "We’ve gotten hotter kisses from fat aunts who were pinching our cheeks until we cried. Showing her usual deep commitment to the craft of looking uncomfortable anytime a camera is pointed at her, Barton snapped her mouth closed tighter than a former child actor’s asshole when “Beat It” plays on the radio. Merely showing up for work and pressing your lips against someone else’s do not a sweeps ratings stunt make, Mischa. When you don’t deliver the tongue with the season on the line, don’t be surprised to find your character solving her identity crisis by taking a four-slice toaster with her into the jacuzzi."

I definetly liked getting the rest of the backstory on Sawyer to provide a bit more of a reason for his asshole behavior. His self-loathing for what he was tricked into to doing provided a nice bit of characterization.

I was pretty bothered that a supposedly experienced con-man would travel all the way across the world to kill a man based upon information given to him by another grifter. Especially another grifter who had already betrayed him so badly that he promised to kill the guy.

As for Ethan, I don't expect any literal reanimation in his case, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him turn up in another episode. If Boone can see Shannon die in his little island vision quest, why wouldn't Claire or Charlie bump into an apparently alive Ethan to help them work through some of their inner demons? Of course, Charlie has already had two backstory episodes, so I would figure that Claire would be the most likely candidate with a hallucinatory
Ethan.

Still, some zombie action would be nice. Brainssss.....
