WARNING: MILD LOST EPISODE 3 SPOILERS BELOW:

I didn’t like last night’s episode of Lost as much as the two last week. This is mainly due to the fact that it focused heavily on Kate (who I can’t stand) and Jack’s talking in circles with Dogen.

It was also strange to see Mac from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia as I had completely forgotten that he had a blink and you missed it appearance three years ago. In this episode, he was given a name and a bitchy attitude. Though he didn’t have a huge amount of screentime, I can’t say that he made a very good case for having a dramatic acting career after Sunny ends. He should for sure stick to comedy.

That being said, I’m quite interested to see where the show goes in the next few episodes as things get set up for the end of the series. I’m also glad they got a Kate-centric episode out of the way early. Evangeline Lilly has only a few looks. She is either looking brooding, looking sad, looking sad and brooding, or looking deeply into Jack or Sawyer’s eyes. She’s like the Mischa Barton of Lost.

I am also quite excited about the zombie/contagious disease storyline that is getting developed. That is all.

I have to say that while Adrian and I have not always seen eye to eye when it comes to analyzing LOST, I essentially agree with everything he wrote.

Rob McElhenney was simply not good in a dramatic role.  It really just felt like Mac made a cross-narrative appearance on LOST, because McElhenney acted exactly like his SUNNY character.

Adrian doesn’t think Evangeline Lilly is that great.  Fair enough.  Personally, I find her very attractive.  I don’t think she is a great actress, but she fits the bill just fine.  Regardless, I agree with AK in that Kate-centric episodes, for me, are drab and weak.  I don’t know what it is…maybe I’m just not all that interested in the idiosyncrasies and depth (or lack thereof) of her character.  I love it when she just meshes, and fits into the story and the plot of the show; not when it’s centered around her.

Don’t get it twisted folks…I am very excited about LOST and the direction it is heading.  I have years of my youth invested into this show (a lot of beers, blunts, blogs, and shared experiences).  I can’t wait to see what happens next…
