Lost Rewatch Season 2: Episode 23 Season 3 Episodes 1-2

Ok, so I havnt posted in a few months, I am obviously not the best blogger in the world.

But it is rewatch time and so I am going to try and get back into it.

I have always rewatched Lost during the hiatus, but this time I'm actually analyzing it.

Before I found almost every episode entertaining and fun to watch, but rewatching an episode for analyzing is much different.

In this block I was able to find alot of things that got me excited, things that we see for the first time, or character introductions gone very odd. For example Season 5 brought about a new favorite pairing with Sawyer and Juliet, but when they first met in season 3 Juliet taysered him...oh how far a relationship can come.

The first three episodes in this block were excelent, but the more i think about it the last one: the Glass Balerina, while entertaining, is what I view as the start of the bad episodes of Lost.

It is well known in the Lost community that Season 3 was not as strong as other seaons untill later, and if we are to go with this assumption, then it would have started with the second episode of seaon 3.

There are just so many things that dont matter in this episode any more, and I kept wondering why this flashback? why a jin and sun flashback does that flashback really contribute much to their characters, or their history, maybe a little, but not in that signifcant way that a flashback usually should.

Perhaps this can be answered in tonights podcast, but I still believe this episode is not as strong, you have a better argument, feel free to prove me wrong.

I will be podcasting tonight at the Lost Rewatch Podcast on Talk Shoe.

Till Next time, which will hopefully will be less of a time stretch then the last time I updated.
