More LOST rambling
I wish I could draw more LOST fans here so we could get a big conversation going about the show. I get so confused by it at times, especially this episode with the flashbacks on Sun’s life.
At the beginning, it showed Sun breaking that ballerina statue, then telling her dad the maid did it. The dad said, “If the maid did it, then I will have to fire her.” He knew Sun did it, but he asked her again, I guess hoping that by knowing the maid would lose her job if Sun didn’t tell the truth, that she’d fess up. Instead, she still blamed the maid.
I’m thinking that scene was to let us know that Sun isn’t so nice after all, and now I’m wondering if it wasn’t Sun that pushed her lover off the building.
Did Sun accidentally or deliberately shoot the woman on the boat? (The actress she shot plays my favorite character in Deadwood.) I’d looked away from the TV for just a second and all I heard was the shot.
I still like Sun and don’t want her character to end up being bad. Flawed is fine, but not evil.
I got such a kick out of Sawyer watching Kate digging. His facial expressions were perfect. And when he kissed her–I love how he figured out a way to do that while at the same time feeling out the fighting capability of the Others.
Juliette is bizarre. Something about her seems kind, but she also has this evil-ness to her.
OK, so the Others obviously have contact with the outside world. They have CDs and camping-style folding chairs and weapons that weren’t around 20-30 years ago. Yet Ben said he’d never been off the island. Hmmm.
One thing I have trouble with . . . Remember Danielle? (I think that’s her name.) The French woman who was shipwrecked on the island ages ago, killed the rest of her crew because they were infected? She’s been there all those years, been all over the island, yet she’s never tripped over this big ol’ village the Others have right out in the open? I hope the writers have explanations for all the clues and twists and unexplained things they keep throwing at the viewers.

I finally got to watch the first two episodes of LOST last night. My Fiance and I watch them together, but the way he works, we have to wait until the weekends.
I love reading your thoughts on the show. They are so much better than mine. I am confused in these first episodes. Hopefully, it will all be explained!!

Sun shot the lady when she came toward her, so it appeared to be in self-defense. She had warned her to stay back and the lady was so confident that she could talk her out of it that she approached her anyway. I hadn’t thought about the possibility of Sun being the one who pushed boyfriend off the balcony. Interesting theory and highly possible. I thought that maybe her father was there waiting to see how it played out and whether or not he could completely trust Jin, and that he finished him off when Jin couldn’t.
Sawyer really got to me in this episode, too! Is he the most adorable bad boy you’ve ever seen or what? Gotta/wanna love him/hate him…who can decide??? I just know that his feelings for Freckles are sincere and that he is incredibly sexy.

THANK YOU for filling me in on Sun and the gunshot. After they showed her lover falling, I kept wondering whether or not she deliberately shot the woman or if it was more a panic thing or an accident.
I’ve heard some people at work complain that Lost isn’t as good this year, but it still has me hooked. As long as they don’t kill off Sawyer, I’ll be watching.
