Boone trying to turn Sayid against Shannon is really hateful behaviour, imo. Very glad that Locke had some wise words of advice for her and that she took them on board. Re the hatch, hold your horses...patience is definitely a virtue on this show 😁 Love how interested/excited you are about Hurley being on TV in Korea! Great reaction!
It's crazy to think that Jin and Sun's marital problems stem from their inability to talk to each other to resolve them together. They seem to be each on their own little island. With Sun's father as the shark preventing them from getting together. And now that they are free of his harmful influence on the island, when they can finally tell each other everything, Sun speaks to Jin in a language he doesn't know, and Jin moves away from her instead of stay and explain. Everything remains to be done for them.
Great reaction, thanks! 🌴😎🌺 Have you thought about giving a recap at the end of s1 on your overall thoughts, theories, questions, favorite or least favorite characters?
Thanks for the shoutout! Another great reaction, and I cant wait for the next few episodes! Agree on Game of Thrones too; you even have characters that you hate in that show do something noble or that you can really get behind, and even the best people make bad choices occasionally.
Ya...on GOT the first time they showed The Hound I was like "OK this guys basically gonna be the Darth Vader of this show...and then he wound up being my favorite character.
In the outtakes from this episode, Jin zipped her hair up in that dress, lol. And in a show full of shitty dad's, Jin's father is a shining light, perhaps low of station, but high in character. Also, lots of people get on tv maybe once in their lives, perhaps as part of some news story, that aren't famous. That's actually pretty common. A witness to an event, someone directly involved in an event, a family member of someone directly involved in some event. A neighbor of someone directly involved in an newsworthy event.
Ya...I thought about the news angle...but it didn't feel quite right to me. Like if everything was reversed and some guy from the Korea and a station in LA was trying to ask them questions as they got into their car, there would have to be a realization of "this guys not going to understand our questions and we're not going to understand his answers". And if it were a big enough news story for them to take video of him regardless wouldn't it be odd that NONE of the 4 dozen survivors would recognize him? Maybe I'm just overthinking it. I'm sure it'll all make sense when they reveal it.
@@adamscott98 I think it's just because I'm a grumpy old guy, but I've never understood the "first comment" thing. I mean, it's not even a "good" comment. Just, "first". Maybe add something to it of value? IDK. And it's been a thing for a long long time. It's just weird to me that it ever was and is still a thing. 🤷 Again, probably just because I'm old and grumpy. Lol.
John Locke's speech ("THEY'VE ATTACKED US!...") is my favorite monologue on this show, and one of my two favorite bits of dialogue said by one of the castaways (the other is in season 3). It might be one of my top 5 season 1 moments. The bit when everyone on the beach is fighting over Jin and they close up on his face as the audio is distorted into gibberish is your clue that no, Jin does not speak English. They're definitively confirming he doesn't understand. I think they use that trick only one other time with him. But that whole scene on the beach is great, it's tense... it's so tense that I've probably seen it twenty times and I still get uncomfortable watching it. There's one other thing I want to point out ... the first few times I watched the show, back in the 2000s I started to notice it in this episode during the beach scene but it goes all the way back to the pilot episode.... when something sinister is about to happen, 9 times out of 10, Charlie has the hood of his sweatshirt up over his head. Even if Charlie isn't the one being sinister. I don't know if it was intentional but it definitely stands out here as the other castaways falsely accuse Jin and beat him.
I just discovered your channel yesterday... And immediately watched at all the LOST reactions! I really like smart reactors with a lot of life experience. You're very good at analyzing and it's really funny and interesting to see that you have the same questions and theories in your head as we did 20 years ago. ^^ Now imagine that we had to wait a week between each episode and sometimes months between seasons!!!! With all those cliffhangers, it was pure torture! :D I hope you can continue to avoid spoilers... Your conclusion after finishing the first season will probably be that this was wild and really good. But one thing I can promise you: That was just the intro. ;) The REAL fun is just beginning! :P Greetings from Germany
Thanks so much for checking out the channel! I got a little bit behind because it took forever for me to edit my reaction to Civil War. This weekend I'm planning on watching the rest of this season and editing episode 18.
Hopefully I should be watching that episode this weekend. I would need some time to lay out my 3 favorites...but someone suggested me doing a season wrap up video after I watch the finale and I will definitely make a "3 favorite episodes" category for that.
