The Syndicate

FUN FACT THAT YOU ALL PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW:
At the time, this was the most expensive TV Pilot ever made, and the Exec who greenlit it was subsequently fired. In honor of him being the sacrifice the island demanded, he's the guy who says "Previously on LOST" at the beginning of roughly every episode.

Whhhaaaa? That is AWESOME. Damn, I bet he wrote an email after the first season titled "Neener Neener Muthafuckers"



I, too, hate DoucheJin but I am holding on because we get to see his AWESOME arc soon enough.... though not really soon enough.

Yes, SVS, me too minus the last season (not my fave but I am a very easy viewer, it takes a lot for me to get het up about it).

It has for me, I watched the pilot this weekend. One of the things I had forgotten was that I instantly loved Hurley (which never wavered) but ohh I love him.

I had also forgotten how pretty all of these people were. Good grief. I was instantly transported back to my first viewing and the goosebumps that happened on several occasions happened again. Jack running onto the beach and seeing the wreck with Shannon screaming, Kate counting to 5 while shaking with fear, and "Guys, where are we?".

Boone being sent to get the pens then coming back with a selection. The smoke monster who we do not see, but is still so creepy. So far I have to say this show is holding up to a rewatch pretty well.

This time I got goosebumps with Locke "one is light, one is dark" because I knew what was coming, so that was neat.

Yes, maybe have us all try to talk about it starting Sunday??

I think that may be easier for most of us, I know my schedule is all over the place.

I could do a rewatch. I am coming up on a slow TV period in summer.
