WE'RE Survivors From Flight 815!
Sooo…the tail section people. Were you a little bored with this episode? I was a little bored with this episode. We did find out a few important things, namely that the Others are possibly taking strong people and “good” people and only killing those that get in the way of that goal. We don’t really come to any conclusions about why the tail section people were hit more hard than the main cabin people, or if the captives become compliant, or any more about who the Others are or how long they’ve been there. We did learn an important lesson about what happens if you are a female and make sweet love on the island: gun shot to the gut. I guess that takes care of the birth control/baby question.
We also got to meet the children who were taken from the tail section group, and the teddy bear that makes a reappearance when the group of Others walk by Jin and Eko hiding in a bush. And I have to say it was a little sad learning that Boone’s message never reached an outside person.
The Other who infiltrated the tail section camp claimed to be from Canada, which is also where Ethan said he was from. Are the Others all Canadian or is that just the fallback answer if you’re secretly harboring deep secrets, stealing children, and want to seem benign?
I appreciate the catch-up back story from the other side of the island, but of course this meant we didn’t move forward in time. Moving forward in time would be awesome. Meanwhile, are you excited for everyone to meet each other? We get a clip of Ana-Lucia smacking Sayid as he’s tied to a tree and you have to wonder what’s up with that. I’m also looking forward (in a very tough-girls-of-Alias way) to the first Kate/Ana-Lucia confrontation. J.J. Abrams is good at making room for several strong female characters in his work, but this will be an interesting dynamic in that they’re neither friends nor adversaries, but will inevitably have clashing personalities.
Man, I’ve got nothing from this episode. Did you catch things? What did I miss? Have you seen this?
US Army knife? Well, we know the Others didn't get that from Sayid.
I was bored and I might have said "I hate this show" a couple of times, but then when the dude killed the dude in the pit things picked up a little. How come at the end of each episode I can't wait for the next week's episode, and then next week comes and I get mad again?
DANG.
This was an episode that would have been fine if you were bing watching an entire season on DVD... but on a weekly basis, definetly a little boring. Also, does anyone else feel like the TRUE LOVE between sayid and the blond girl (who apparently bores me enough to forget her name) was a little over the top.
A few things:
The guy that said he was from Canada (Nathan I believe) was not actually an Other. Remember he was the one who had his neck snapped by the "Peace Core" dude.
I was definitely a little bored, but Michelle Rodgriguez (Ana Lucia) will do that to me. I hope somebody kills her for shooting Shannon (blond girl).
I fixed the link to Oceanic Air's site. Nice find!
