MY INTERNET IS BACK WOOT.

So, if you missed the Lost premiere.... What basically happened was that Matthew Fox woke up in this bamboo forest and wandered out and found people wandering around staggering and screaming and bleeding on this beach amid plane wreckage and so of course there's a pregnant lady having contractions and some guy with a recently occurring severe leg lackage (MMM DINNER I LOVE PIZZA!), and Matthew Fox saves some lives but some moron gets Darwinned into the plane engine and vaporized and everything BLOWS UP REAL GOOD!, and Matthew's all like, Fuck that shit, and he goes back into the bamboo and has to get this random girl who is clearly his love interest (and weirdly reminds me of Kate Beckinsale for no good reason) to sew up the bamboo wound in his back, 'cause he's a doctor but he's not, like, that hardcore, and he's all like, "What's your name?," and she's like, "Kate!," and I'm like, "I KNEW IT!" And there's some weirdly possessive Asian guy who's telling his woman not to talk to anyone else, and there's some toenail-painting bitch who won't even eat a Snickers that her boyfriend lovingly salvaged from the wreck because she is clearly a TOTAL HOR, and Harold Perrineau is there with a kid, but he is vastly underutilized so far. And Dominic Monaghan is there, and he has a much bigger part than I thought he would. And all the actors are unusually chunky, because they need to be able to look starving in about six episodes. And then it rains. And there's something freakishly but invisibly huge moving in the jungle, and everyone's like JURASSIC PARK OH NOES. But the front part of the plane is out there so Matthew Fox, who is magically also a flunked-out pilot, wants to go in and get the transwhatamawho, and Kate's all like, I AM GOING WITH YOU, and Dominic Monaghan is like OMG ME TOO, and Matthew Fox is like, "Who the hell are you?" And Dominic Monaghan is all like, "I'm Charlie," and then they get into an argument because Matthew is all like, "No, dude, I'm Charlie, you're Merry!," and Dominic is all like, "No, dude, you're Jack and I'm Charlie this time, and just be glad you've got a new TV gig, all right?," and Kate is like "EVERYBODY STFU RIGHT NOW." So they go into the jungle and crawl up in the plane wreckage for like fifteen minutes and you just know one of those dead bodies is not going to be dead yet, and one of them isn't dead yet, and it's the pilot, who I am 99% certain is Greg Grunberg--Hey, it's Greg! Hey Greg! We love you, Greg! Tell Felicity I said hey, Greg!--but he gets eaten by the Giant Invisible Thing within, like, thirty seconds, which is awful and tragic because I was hoping he'd become a regular or something, but not before he gives Matthew/Charlie/Jack the transwhatamajig, only the transwhatamathing is totally fucked up but knowing Dr. Pilot Matthew/Charlie/Jack, he probably took some transwhatamastuff classes at ITT Tech right after he flunked out of pilot school, so keep an eye out for that one. And then the Giant Invisible Thing starts chasing them through the jungle and Dominic falls down and gets caught in That One Tree Root That Is Always In The Middle Of The Path and Matthew saves him but then Matthew and Dominic disappear and Kate loses her shit and then Dominic turns back up and seriously, I think he was doing drugs in the airplane bathroom, y'all, but now Matthew's missing and then Matthew turns up and then they find Dead Greg all mauled up in a tree and they're like OMG WHAT COULD DO THAT?, and besides a heartless invisible dinosaur immune to the charms of Greg Grunberg, I dunno. And the previews are all cracked out with a brawl and some guy trying to get with Kate and then pulling a gun on everyone and Harold Perrineau finds a pair of handcuffs in the jungle, like, Dude! The invisible dinosaurs are into S&M, man! And Dominic's all like, OMGWTF IS THIS PLACE? And I'm thinking, this is J.J. Abrams, man. Y'all are probably in some secret CIA experiment to engineer invisible mechasaurs or something, only they've taken over the world so the CIA went back in time and stranded y'all on a tropical island so you could perpetuate the species, only now the mechasaurs have found you, and you know what? Them bitches are hungry.

oh my GOD you crack my shit up!

Matthew Fox is like, "Who the hell are you?" And Dominic Monaghan is all like, "I'm Charlie," and then they get into an argument because Matthew is all like, "No, dude, I'm Charlie, you're Merry!," and Dominic is all like, "No, dude, you're Jack and I'm Charlie this time, and just be glad you've got a new TV gig, all right?," and Kate is like "EVERYBODY STFU RIGHT NOW."

Okay, thank god, I wasn't the only one who thought Dom was doing drugs in the bathroom too. Thanks for the recap (which was faaaantastic), I missed the first 20 minutes because of a meeting.
cleolinda From: [info]cleolinda Date: September 22nd, 2004 06:50 pm (UTC) (Link)
See, I didn't think anything of it the first time he ran to the bathroom while the plane was in the air. It's when he disappeared while they were in the crashed cockpit and then he just pops out all a-smile that I was like, HE IS SO ON DRUGS RIGHT NOW. Besides, his character's in a band, right? Yeah.

I so totally agree with the drugs part! I bet that's why the stewardesses were chasing him in the beginning =D That smile was just too "I'm trying to be innocent while having a sixth of an 8 ball of coke in me".

I'm so glad you commented on "No Chocolate" girl. She just annoyed the piss out of me -- my sister said it was because she was a girl and I usually only enjoy the male characters but she's so wrong! She was just annoying!

Fabulous review =)
cheapblackpens From: [info]cheapblackpens Date: September 22nd, 2004 07:29 pm (UTC) (Link)
yeah, that's exactly what happened.

is it just me, or should the bitchy anti-snickers/pro-rescue boat girl be the one that gets killed off after not-really-dead-pilot greg?
cleolinda From: [info]cleolinda Date: September 22nd, 2004 07:35 pm (UTC) (Link)
Oh, for serious. I actually shouted at the TV, in the room with my entire immediate family, "Oh, she BETTER be the first one to get eaten!" And I didn't even know yet that there was anything out there to eat anyone in the first place.

They said in Entertainment Weekly that the girl who plays Kate does look like Kate Beckinsale with a harder stare.....I am a huge KB fan and didn't notice and thus felt terrible. BUT it's not my fault. It was Dom and his stupid hoodie. They were distracting me. Hmph.
cleolinda From: [info]cleolinda Date: September 22nd, 2004 08:57 pm (UTC) (Link)
It's weird--I can't really put my finger on how she looks like KB (I love her, too)--it was more of a feeling I got. I don't know. (Someone else just said she looks like Minnie Driver, which--no.)

Bravo! Excellant recap! Drugs you say? I assumed he was in there wanking. Hrm. And WTF does this dog have to do with anything?

I'm a long time J.J. fan and he doesn't just throw something in there for nothing, the dog will play a part, I'm betting on it.

ianbrill From: [info]ianbrill Date: September 22nd, 2004 08:36 pm (UTC) (Link)
I saw the pilot (or most of it, anyway) at Comic-Con. David Fury, a writer on Angel and now this show, said that there are no dinosaurs on the island. I do like your angle about the CIA controlling everything, though.
cleolinda From: [info]cleolinda Date: September 22nd, 2004 08:59 pm (UTC) (Link)
Yeah, I just found an interview with Fury on Sci-Fi Wire, I think--the co-writer interview is on AICN, and they promise no dinosaurs. Which is good.

Them bitches? Still hungry, apparently.

catscorner From: [info]catscorner Date: September 22nd, 2004 10:14 pm (UTC) (Link)
I missed the first five minutes. Did they really start on the island all dazed? Or did they show the gnarly crash in the opening scenes? Or did you only get the start of the crash in the flashback scene and they skipped the actual crash?

And I gotta know too! And PLEASE tell me wtf those scary invisible giant-ass creatures are? They KILLED Weiss! *bawls*
cleolinda From: [info]cleolinda Date: September 22nd, 2004 10:37 pm (UTC) (Link)
Literally, the show opens with Matthew Fox waking up in the bamboo and being extremely confused for what feels like five solid minutes, and then he walks out onto the beach and finds people screaming and bleeding and staggering around. It's really disorienting--we never actually see the crash, come to think of it. After the first commercial break (I think...?), we get a flashback of the moment the plane actually hit the turbulence. Really well done.
