fan_eluneSo. We watched things. The Lost premiere, the Kitchen Confidential premiere, and the Nip/Tuck premiere. Spoilery rants ahead.
Lost's Man of Science, Man of Faith.
I was feeling like back when everybody had HP6 but me, here, I have to say. Actually, now I should go back to y'all's LJs and read your thoughts on the ep, but first I thought I'd share mine. Well. The thing is, it felt more like a half episode than an episode. I loved the beginning, I thought it was incredibly frustrating and quite well done, the way at first you thought it was a flashback. Also, re Jack's flashbacks, they do better wigs than Joss's shows. Heh.
That said, well, the ep seemed a bit... empty. Don't know if it's because there were no news of our three guys out there on the raft or what... But usually you have secondary storylines in Lost episodes. What was it here? Maybe there were just too many flashbacks or something. It just felt incredibly empty. But at least we finally know what's down there, eh. Too damn predictable, though, that that guy would be the one living down there.
Also? How I loathe thee, Kate. "Yes, Jack, I'll be on your side." "Well, I'm gonna go with Locke now." Traitress. Turncoat. And then he's still so bloody worried about her. *eyeroll* Also, I missed Sawyer and Jin a lot. For some reason, I didn't miss Mike that much (which makes me kinda sad), but those two? Hell yeah. Am also waiting to meet the new cast members. I realise that I'm not really excited about the beginning of this season, rather about what will happen once some things are set up. And I really don't wanna hate Analucia, so they'd better write her well.
Nip/Tuck's Momma Boone.
Christian being dead? I didn't believe it. There was no way.Especially not when Liz talked at his funeral. Heh. Quentin what's-his-name? I like him already. *goes off to imdb him because dammit, I know him* Oh, from ER most likely. As for Rhona Mitra, it's very telling that when I saw her I didn't think Gideon's Crossing, but Watchers. (Who have published their season premiere, too! Available on their site, along with the rest of that amazing webseries.) Even though I really liked Gideon's Crossing. Anyway, I thought the scene that culminated with the threesome was absolutely entrancing. The way they reached out for each other through the darkness... well, fuck. That was brilliant writing.
Julia annoys me as much as ever. What does she even listen to her mother for? She bores me as much as she annoys me, actually. Blah. And Matt still looks like Michael Jackson.
But the Sean and Christian and Quentin and Momma Boone and Liz stuff was great. Yay!
Kitchen Confidential's Exile on Main street
Bradley Cooper and Nick Brendon, how could I resist? Besides, I had the very nice surprise of seeing the ever so lovely Andrea Parker. She's ageing really well (and I do hope we'll see more of her). But really, it should have been a 42-minutes show. That was just too short, not near enough time to get into the characters and all. But it shows promise, it surely does,and I love the waiter already. Also, the critique lady I knew from an ep of Boomtown - S2, so not one of the best, but she was good in it, so yay!
And Nick was really underemployed. Will be looking forward to more anyway!

Ah, didn't notice the accent. I'm not good at accents at all. :p Where was his accent from?
Wig was better than Spike or Angel but still it was terrible... It's mostly the part when you see his real hair under the wig... I'll do a screencap and show it to you!
I wouldn't say *nothing* cause we had some answers, but I think it's because of Jack. I still don't like his character, and flashbacks about him are usually boring. Maybe it was because of this? I think we have to see the following episodes, it was only the first one.

lol. Honestly, it didn't shock me on the spot (beside thinking it was a horrible hairdo, but very 90s).
No it's not. You can't blame this on Jack. It's because of the wayy JJ and the guys are building their show. At least Jack's flashbacks taught us stuff, brought us some more stuff about his character (and about good ol' Des), not like Michael's. I love Michael, but his flashbacks were so very pointless. They brought us a very big fat nothing. And we didn't even get to see the Jack/Des confrontation. So you really can't blame Jack just 'cause you don't like him. ;-p
