STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

The minute I saw Kate up in that fruit tree I said F$%#, another rerun.  What is the pattern now, like one new episode a month?  So rude to such loyal viewers, so beneath such an otherwise awesome show.  Do they still get such high ratings with these 1st season reruns?  I know they wouldn't be doing this if it weren't some sort of money making scheme, those freaks.

Hm. As someone who hasn't seen all of the original eps, it was like watching a new episode for me (I started watching about midway through the first season). So I can't complain about this repeat, but I do understand. It seems like all the shows are going through that kind of programming. I am always sad when February ends because sweeps are over...nothing exciting will be on.

This ep explained a lot to me about why Sayid and Shannon got together, but overall I was underwhelmed with the story. It seemed a bit thin.

Personally if I'd been Kate, I'd have not told Sawyer anything about that stupid Halliburton, and gone back for it on my own. I mean, she could've dived for it several times and eventually worked it loose, I'd think. After all, if she could carry it in one hand while running from Sawyer, it couldn't have been too heavy.

And then I'd never have bothered to palm the key in front of Jack - surely he wouldn't have tried to keep the airplane from her? Having seen the later episodes that had that had the plane in them, I told my DH "surely this isn't all about that stupid toy plane?" and yep, it surely was. Silly. Not that it meant that much to her, but so much drama for no reason.

I do enjoy both Sawyer and Kate though, and this episode featured a lot of both. I love how Evangeline Lilly really inhabits the role of Kate. I was cracking up when she head-butted Sawyer. G'wan, tough girl! *s*

I'm getting a bit annoyed with all the repeats too.  Especially because they don't seem to be consistent with showing them, so you kinda have to be on your toes, otherwise you might miss a new episode.  Plus it makes it super hard to follow the story line, which is complicated in and of itself anyway.

I still love the show, particularly last week's episodes when we finally got a few answers.

Apparently, ABC is showing repeats every other episode to stretch the season out until May.    Sometimes, we get a new episode every other week, but sometimes they're going to run two weeks' worth of re-runs.
