I've seen the trailer 3 times ad everytime that Blagyver line cracks me up. It's something about the way he says it.

Did you finish the game yet? I just finished it last week. I put about 30 hours into it and completed every side mission I could find. I think I'm going to play it again as a Renegade instead of a Paragon.

Dennis

Yeah, they really are going to have to explain the intentions of the Soldiers Of One very well in order for us to buy their reasonings for being a terrorist organization. Right now we don't see any type of oppression of them or their beliefs. Plus it would take a lot to get a young boy to kill himself, his girlfriend and a few hundred other people.

I really liked the episode as well, perhaps knowing beforehand about the alternate timeline lessened the impact for me. I believe later on when I watch the episodes this season I'll probably appreciate this episode more because it will have set up and hinted at things to come that we haven't seen yet.

Dennis

I'm suprised to hear you say that, everyone I saw it with and people I've talked to online all agree about the Sayid thing. They seemed to have no regard for his life, moving his body around while he's bleeding to death and not paying attention to him at all.

In the Season 5 premiere they did delay, Jack and Sawyer stop and have a talk and fight in the jungle while Sayid is bleeding out and the hydrogen bomb (which Sayid said is very unstable and must be detonated as soon as possible) are in the van.

Even if they cared for Juliet more than Sayid, they would have at least tried to help him in some way. It's not like he's Ben or someone else they hate.

Dennis

In this alternate timeline I think we can assume that Widmore, Ben, and "The Others" are dead and therefore Daniel and Penny were never born.

Yeah the Boone - Locke conversation was funny because it was so ironic compared to what happened in the original timeline.

So far, also not liking the new characters either, where the hell have they been for the past 5 seasons, hahaha.

I really liked the episode too, despite the Sayid thing and the temple stuff.

Dennis

How far into Fallout 3 are you? I'm almost done with the last DLC mission, MotherShip Zeta. Been trying to finish Mass Effect 2 first though. I still got time, since New Vegas doesn't come out until fall. I loved Fallout 3 so, I can't wait until the next game.

Dennis

I also didn't notice the Sun and Jin thing until I saw it online, and then rewatched the scenes with them in it and thought "how did I miss that?"

Yeah the Sayid thing got from bad to worse (and I'm not talking about his wound). How did no one at the show notice how ridiculous that was?

Dennis

I thought I was going to find the cross-cutting to be cliche and annoying but found that it worked for me except for the truck scene, and that was because it wasn't necessary and her hand was so small that it didn't work visually. However I still think it is necessary in other instances, especially with that scene with her mother Amanda, you wouldn't get the same empathy with Zoe if you didn't see her reaction to her mother's comments from the robotic form.

The Amanda thing at the end was really out of left field and feel like they did it as a plot device versus actual character development.

Though I do have minor criticisms of the show, I'm still enjoying it and have found most of the acting, production, etc to very good.

Dennis

I do agree in that certain scene in the back of the truck, it wasn't completely necessary for the cut and the robot pulling on the lock was good enough. However I did find it effective in all the other scenes.
