I watched Lost last night…and half of Alias before I fell asleep. It’s not that it was boring, it was just that I’d had a glass of wine and I was tired…you know how it goes. I felt myself drifting off to sleep and was alert enough to record the last half, which I will watch sometime today.
You know, nothing says “romantic” like a romp in a fresh, cool body of water with a beautiful waterfall cascading down to it in the background…unless you’re frolicking underwater and spy two bodies, still latched into their plane seats. Nice way to start the show.
And gee…Kate turns out to be a Bad Guy who committed a mortal sin by screwing over Jack. After all he’s done for her…but hey, that’s the criminal mind for you…trust no one.
I have to ask though, has Rose been in any other episodes since the one early on in the season when she was catatonic on the beach, ignoring Jack’s pleas to take care of herself? I don’t remember having seen her, but that doesn’t mean anything…I just thought it was odd that she popped up out of nowhere and began playing Mama Bear, trying to instill faith in Claireless Charlie while adamant that her husband is still alive (maybe at the bottom of the pond?).
What else…hmm…oh yes, Shannon. I’m dying to hear her story, especially since she has perfect French pronounciation but can barely read it. Who knows, she could have learned to speak French by listening to “Lady Marmalade” like the rest of us did. I’m the other way around with Spanish…I can read it well but my diction leaves a lot to be desired. The UberHusband identified the song she was singing (from which the lyrics were written all over Danielle’s Magic Mystery Papers) as “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid (or the movie Shannon called, “The one with the fish”) to which he said, “But that didn’t come out sixteen years ago.” Um yeah…it did, honey. Released in 1989, but it was the very end of 1989 so…technically…it’s only 15 years old and kind of doesn’t gel with the distress call for sixteen years but now I’m just being picky.
Anyway, this has to be quick since I have a ton of work to do today. BUT…for some reason I blurted out, “Oceanic Airlines!” when Kate pulled that tiny plane out of the envelope. Don’t know why…but I couldn’t ignore the irony that the one thing she valued the most in the world is the one thing that also brought her world to a screeching halt.
