TV Queen Bee

I just caught up last night both new episodes and I am happy to say the old Lost is back, better than it has been in a long time. This is in most part due to the casting of our four new friends. Ken Leung, who I’ve been following since Welcome to the Dollhouse and Keeping the Faith (in a hilarious role as a shyster karaoke salesman), is a terrific. Jeremy Davies ( aka Elllliooootttt) is perfect as the uneasy physicist. I also like the fact that these characters are not all ass kickers. They have depth and seem just as bewildered as the flight 815 folk were when they landed on the island.

Ben is still quite the manipulator and appears to be invincible. We’ll see though – that last shot of him made him appear to be dead. You know they won’t kill him off though – unless, he comes back as Mini-Ben to Tall Walt. Can’t wait to find out.

Poor Hurley (now Hugo). I have to admit I did shed a tear or two when he revealed the news to Claire. How good did Charlie look though in Hugo’s hallucination? Apparently, shave and a haircut really does the trick. I continue to have my love/hate relationship with Charlie. Whiny and hot. Loved the reference to his Po5 beard btw.

Next week – more flashbacks and flash-forwards!
