Re: Lost Season 3 - (SPOILERS)
Just had breakfast & watched it. I take it this thread is fine for talking about anything already aired on ABC - so here I go
------------------------------------------------------
Was really engrossing, I had a bet last night over who's eye would start the series off - I chose Penny's father. First of all I thought I'd got the wrong family member, then I thought, "oh no, it's Sarah", and then finally realised it's none of them!
The first scenes were for me equally as good as Desmond's opening to Season 2. The plane crash from that perspective and the rallying of the troops was very surreal, we've found something out straightaway about 3 or 4 characters here and I thought I was dreaming.
Loved the usual Sawyer wisecracks & the Fenry spookiness (who we now know is called Ben), and the tasks put out in place for the captured three seem so calculated and precise, so intent of making these 3 change their current personalities whether they like it or not - however you can see in all 3 that they seem to be accepting what's been handed out to them even though their primal thought is to get away.
Jack is rediscovering he's got to move on away from the past, via learning how to listen - if he doesn't listen then he gets punished, sent back to square one. Same for Sawyer, he seems to be getting told how to do things the "correct way", and Kate on that she should be under controlled conditions, told exactly what to do. The "Others", if we still call them that, are taking the law and what's right into their own hands it seems.
Upon Kate's arrival at the cages, I did think she'd been put through a seperate ordeal to just being handcuffed for a while when dining with Ben. Also, when she took the strip off her wrist before her shower, it seemed pretty messy - maybe an injection could be what Ben's referring to in terms of what's going to be unpleasant over the coming fortnight. Disease, sickness, etc...
Shame to not see the other plane survivors, but I'm not too unhappy - I really enjoyed the episode. I have a feeling that we might see Hurley stumble back to the original camp in Episode 4 or 5 (or 6, or 7, poor lad ), and of course there's the Hatch drama to conclude but that can come when it's ready, heh!
I didn't watch the promo for Episode 2
