Drink Deep Of My Sparkling Stream
White Rabbit - I guess you were watching Game Seven of the ALCS, huh? Me too. Turns out you missed the most blah episode of Lost yet, as Jack stumbles through the jungle searching for a hallucination of his dead father. His vision quest or whatever takes him to a cave and a freshwater stream. It's a metaphor. For leadership. Or maybe acceptance of death. Hard to say. |

I Wanna Touch You Outback
Walkabout - Before the crash, Locke was a sad phone-sex addict who worked at Initech and used a wheelchair. Now he's a virile knife-thrower who can face a monster and drag a dead boar all the way to the beach. Plane crashes: Your ticket to a Brand New You! |

Baby, Let Me Clean Your Slate (Until It Can't Get Any Cleaner)
Tabula Rasa - Through extensive flashbacks to Olde Australia, we learn that...well, we learn that Kate got caught by Marshal Shrap, and she has a heart of gold, both of which we already knew. No one feels it necessary to tell us what crime she actually committed. |

The Second Time Is Always the Sweetest Time (For Rammin')
Pilot (Part II) - "Guys, where are we?" Charlie asks, and though in this second episode -- significantly better than the first -- we don't learn the answer to that question, we do learn a few things. The island has a polar bear and a radio transmitter, and the radio transmitter has been broadcasting the same SOS for 16 years. Kate was a prisoner being transported back to the States by a Federal marshal. Charlie's ridin' the horse, and Sayid was in the Republican Guard. Sawyer is an ass-kicker. Claire's baby is a belly-kicker. Walt has a dog. And Locke has a secret. |

Sucked In
Pilot, Part I - Yes, there's been a plane crash. Yes, forty-eight people survived and have fetched up on the shore of an uncharted desert isle. Yes, Matthew Fox plays a brave and resourceful doctor who also has had some flying lessons. Yes, there's also a cowardly bassist, a reclusive Korean, a helpful lifeguard, a poor-spelling fat person, a pregnant skinny person, a protective father, and a bitchy bitch. And a dog. Yes, there are some extraneous casualties: a guy gets sucked into a jet engine, and the pilot of the plane gets killed by some kind of clanking, growling monster in the jungle. But no, thanks for asking, Dan Kwa hasn't ever watched Felicity or Alias, so he doesn't know what the hell you're talking about. |
