Quick Hits: LOST S6, E1 and E2 – “LAX”
Last night's Season Premiere was a wonderful present to come home to on the DVR.
In the buildup to the sixth and final season of LOST, I’ve been using the DVDs of Season 5 and as a catch-up. In the past month, I rewatched to episode 8 (it was a swamped month and I wasn’t able to fit the rest in) and watched the Season 5 finale prior to last night’s premiere.
As readers of the site know, I’ve been popping out LOST Recaps for those rewatched episodes, chronicling some of my thoughts. I intend to continue to do so in order (the “Jeremy Bentham” episode is next and I can’t wait to write about utilitarianism) until I can’t up to Season 6. So I’m going to be at least a couple of weeks behind in getting full on LOST Recaps out on Season 6, but as with 24, I will be posting initial quick thoughts on the episodes.
I began writing these Quick Hits at the end of the first hour and at the start of the second part of the season premiere entitled “LAX”. I’m not sure I ever appreciated just how good Season 5 was until now. Just watching the buildup to the finale (I avoided all spoilers, but reveled in past footage), it was like seeing old friends again and a storyline I had somewhat taken for granted.
Below are just some preliminary thoughts on LAX parts 1 and 2, written as and immediately after watching the first time through. Click through to give a read. Read more…
