I'll keep this short and sweet. Last night's episode was decent, if a bit scattered, because it was telling 4 different new character backstories. Here are the things I noticed:
1.) The guy who plays Miles, one of the helicopter crew, is a terrible actor. His name is Ken Leung and his performance was probably the weak point of the episode last night.
2.) Jeremy Davies is completely proving me correct. So far, he is portraying his typical, loopy, oddball character. I was hoping he would go completely against type and be the bad-ass. Then again, you never know what the writers have up their sleeve... maybe he's just biding his time. We'll see.
3.) I'm going to go ahead and say that we shouldn't read too much into the fact that Miles is a "ghost hunter." I think that is a typical red herring for the writers to throw out and make people say "Hey, aybe everyone on the Island are ghosts!" No-- they're not. Remember, they are not there to save the Oceanic survivors. If he is there to talk to anyone, it would be an Island native.... maybe Jacob?
4.) Ben neds to be hog tied and gagged. Apparently the Losties haven't realized that he is not to be trusted yet. That just smacked of sloppy writing to me... How would they have let him possibly get near that gun, let alone shoot someone?
It's always hard to get used to a new season, because I like the older seasons so much... but for the amount of new information they are bringing in to the show, the show really is maintaining a high level of quality. I'm glad to say that it looks like the writers strike may be nearing an end, so hopefully production will resume on "Lost" so we'll get the full 16 episode run, instead of the 8 they have finished as of now.
Until next week...
