Di...Wow not actually as mean-spirited as I thought. Didn't 'member Nikki taking real pause when Paolo reveals his vulnerability, nor Paolo clearly trying to warn her with his eye movements (that first time I thought he was merely getting excited about payback and forgot he was paralyzed). And people are gonna think I'm joking when I claim this episode is the first one that actually spooked me :( Loud noise jumpscares don't count! Even though this had a loud noise but it's different enough to inspire dread instead of that annoyed shock response.<br /><br />razzle dazzle/10 and, dare I say, yes I do dare, a slightly better filler episode than the Hurley van one!

This helps and it really explains the sheer number of barely average episodes we have had so far this season.<br /><br />I will continue to hang in there! :-)ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-69184204867985607282012-07-02T01:41:56.076-04:002012-07-02T01:41:56.076-04:00ChrisB, you aren't the only one who feels that...ChrisB, you aren't the only one who feels that way about Season Three. <br /><br />Some context might help: as the producers later acknowledge, by Season Three they were dragging their heels, trying to spin out a story with no end-date. (Adding newbies like Paolo and Nikki was part of their strategy to develop storylines out of thin air.) "Stranger in a Strange Land" is one of the episodes they often refer to as being completely pointless, since the flashbacks do almost nothing to illuminate Jack's character beyond what we already knew.<br /><br />Midway through Season Three, they negotiated a deal with ABC to finish the show at the end of Season Six. That gave them a specific, finite number of episodes remaining (although that number got tweaked by the writer's strike that occurred during Season Four) and allowed them to start setting up their end game and, as in this episode, start cutting some chaff.<br /><br />Definitely by 3.20, maybe even by 3.17, you can start to see that in play. And the ending of 3.22 is undeniably awesome. The adrenaline never really stops.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-45470661874341092032012-07-02T01:17:10.009-04:002012-07-02T01:17:10.009-04:00I liked this one, simply because I liked re-living...I liked this one, simply because I liked re-living the beginning of the series and seeing such iconic scenes from a different point of view. Not to mention, getting to see some of our favourite characters back on the screen.<br /><br />Just a minor point, but in one of last episode's flashbacks, Locke is sitting in front of the television eating dinner. He is watching "Expose."<br /><br />One of the reasons I enjoyed this episode was seeing our merry band together. I'm still struggling with the decision the writers have made to keep our group so fractured this season. Because we have one group off with the Others and another back at camp, it feels as though sometimes the writers are coming up with stories to show what the camp group is up to and to keep those particular actors employed.<br /><br />None of the camp episodes have felt all that important to me; in fact, most of them have felt like filler. Yes, it's fun to see the guys driving around in the car and yes, it's fun to see the flashbacks in this episode, but how exactly are they advancing the story? It occurs to me that there is a power vacuum with Sayid, Jack and Locke with the Others; why don't see a camp show about someone trying to take over? It also seems really strange to me that this large group has now been gone for over a week -- yet no one seems all that concerned about them, happily going along with their routines.<br /><br />While I enjoyed this episode, it served to remind me how much I loved the first season and how much I am struggling with this one.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.com
