castalie | Looooooooooooooost!

I just watched Lost! Like only one little day after they did in the US! I mean, you may not realise but this is really exciting - wow! When I refreshed my flist and saw

nuregwen's entry with the file, I squeed so loud I think I scared myself lol

And the download only lasted 40 minutes! Fourty minutes v Five hours last week, wow. Downloading something when you're not a lot to do it is just grand *g*

Anyway, let's talk seriously now - Could I be more hooked on that show? Maybe, but honestly I don't see how right now. I'm totally, truly and hopelessly in love with that new series, I'm not kidding!

Right at the beginning when they did a recap of last week's episode? I was bouncing on my armchair and trying to mentally speed the process because dude, I watched that episode like ten times already, I knew what had happened, but did I actually forward the thing? No! Because you don't forward Lost, you just don't! So I squeed over something I more or less know by heart and when the new episode officially started, I'd worked myself into Insane Fangirl mode lol

So, everyone and their brothers were right about Charlie being a junkie - and I was really glad we were because that's a story-line I'm definitely getting into. Oh the angst potential! I'm sure my eyes take an odd glassy appearance just when I think of it - sweet, sweet anticipation... don't let me down man! And Charlie is still at the top of my Characters I Love list, btw. There's just something about him, I can't describe it, I'm so drawn to him... He's so complex and I want to know everything about him, and I want to see him going cold turkey, and I want to see him interact with the others and... I just want to see him, period lol He can be sweet and funny one second and turn distant and oh so intense the next - the look he gave Kate at the beginning of the episode when she tells him he's not a coward? Boy the intensity of it!! I foresee lots of rewinding this scene in my future, believe me! That one and lots of others because huh did I mention that I adore Charlie?

Speaking of him and his addiction? I'm also wondering when the gang is going to learn about it and I'm also wondering whether he's not going to have to give his stash to Jack or something, you know to use as meds? At one point, when Jack tells Hurley that he needs whatever he can find to replace meds, and he does insist on drugs, I really thought they would discover about Charlie's little addiction at this point and force it to hand it to them.

Kate now... Ah Kate! Rocks my world - like 100%. How did I love that she was the one to decide to take a hike with the others? A lot? That would be one way of putting, yeah - then again, saying I fell for her even harder would also be a correct answer. She takes decision for the good of the group and she doesn't ask permission to do what she thinks is right, no sirree, not her. She doesn't ask Jack if she can go, she just tells him... and I fucking loved that. And when we realised she was the prisoner? Man, talk about a twist! I swear I never saw that coming, and I thank JJ for surprising the hell out of me with that one! Of course to show us that there's more to the situation that meets the eyes and that Kate may not be such a bad girl after all, they showed her putting the oxygen thingie on the Marshall's face - because hey, a real criminal would have jumped on the opportunity to see him die but not her. Then again, there's also the whole Shrapnel Guy thing of course - that was another cool twist btw. Man, this show is so keeping me on my toes, I love that!

Speaking of which - the polar bear? Yeah, way to confuse us even more - woohoo!

Something else I really enjoyed is how we got to really 'meet' the other characters this time around - they all did have some screentimes and it feels like they're all shaping up nicely. We saw a lot more of Sayid --whose name I still spell Said btw, like in French *sigh*-- and that made me really happy. I like his attitude. I mean he's definitely not the meek kind who would accept to be bossed around or anything - he'll hit back at once, thanks, but to me he also exudes self-assurance and quiet. Anyway, love him to pieces *g*

And wait, speaking of Sayid, and Charlie before that? I can't get enough of the scene where they're both standing real close, Charlie slightly behind Sayid' shoulder, during the gun scene - know which one I'm talking about? They were too cute for words in that scene!

Creepy Orange Guy, aka Locke didn't creep me out so much today. I actually thought he was really interesting. Kin is confusing me though. Sure, he's being a jerk to Sun, but he sounds like an angry jerk as opposed to maybe just-a-jerk - as if he was actually hurt by something his wife had done. I'm not making excuse for him because I certainly dislike his behaviour toward Sun, but he is confusing me. Like when he brought food to the others... Hurley making fun of him wasn't exactly a nice way to thank him for that btw. I like Hurley, but that wasn't nice.

Shannon finally showed us there's more to her that just Spoiled Girl. I mean, I know that lots of people see her as a bitch and nothing more, but denial will make you say and do things that aren't exactly noble and we needed a character who wouldn't just accept the situation and fight back immediately. That was Shannon for us *g* And I like her actually. Also, she doesn't speak French that fluently, like she said. Her translation wasn't 100% correct but that definitely made it more realistic and she still did a nice job with it anyway - besides, she translated all the important bits... except for the part about 'le rocher noir'. Dunno if it'll prove to be important or not - the omission I mean, or if she'll remember that bit later on, but since it's a - wait is it supposed to be a spoiler if I translate the thing? Damn, see? LJ made me paranoid! Anyway, there's a translation of the message in the comments below, so just in case... you're warned *shrug*

At first, when I realised it was French we heard on the radio --in last week's preview-- I feared for a sec that the French would replace the Russians and we would become the Bad Guys from now on. Which wouldn't have been traumatic, but man if I'm loving a show, I don't wanna be one of the bad guys! lol As it turns out, we were apparently part of the victims... or if we did belong to the bad guys in the first place, it sure back-fired because the woman's message? Chilled me. And the sixteen years thing definitely added to it *shudder*

Oh something else I was happy to see? The Accident through other characters' eyes. I was impatient to see those scenes.

Damn, I knew I would be editing this post like crazy lol Okay so another addition --though you won't notice if you didn't read the original, granted. The music? Is really great. I'd already had that thought for the first part of the premiere but it really struck me when Kate and her little troop are climbing the hill/mountain - I really enjoyed the musical theme used during that scene.

I know I'm forgetting stuff, so I may go back to that post and edit it in the near future but that was my first impressions *g*

To make a long story short... I LOVE THAT SHOW.

Yes, I did need the caps *nodnod*

Now, I'm going to hit the flist and read all the Lost posts --I don't think I'll get tired of all those play on words created thanks to that particular title btw lol-- I didn't allow myself to read last night - yay! And afterwards? I'll watch it again and again and - okay you get the picture.

Oh something else that amused me? While commenting on

nuregwen's LJ to thank her for uploading the episodes for us, I actually met another Frenchie! A Frenchie who apparently isn't just into Lost but into Sayid/Charlie too! Talk about a nice coincidence *g* So welcome to

crazybutsound. I think

greedy_dancer also found her, which is just plain sweet - we're gathering all the French slashers we can on our flists! lol

Also, praised be

missnegativity who's the fearless leader of the Shallow Lust Resistance - her work isn't easy but she does it anyway because someone's had to do it. Hail to her and troops *bows*
