The first 10-15 minutes of Lost are still some of the most intellectually compelling, visually stimulating, and cinematically breathtaking minutes\u00c2\u00a0I’ve ever seen in television.<\/p>\n
Jack as a “healer”, not a doctor. J.J. used jump-zooms as Jack was banging on Charlie’s chest. Some could say this was for dramatic effect, but it’s never just that simple with J.J. I think it was his way of showing that something out of the ordinary was happening. That Jack’s force-of-will was so strong, so powerful, that Jack wanted Charlie to live so strongly, that Jack somehow made it happen.<\/p>\n
Arzt is a duplicate of my friend Joe. Only Joe knows even more than Arzt and isn’t the most annoying person to ever be exploded on television.<\/p>\n
The last 5-10 minutes of episode 21, “Exodus, Part 1”, when the survivors launch the raft are still some of the most heartwarming minutes I’ve ever seen in television.<\/p>\n
The production and writing teams had planned a lot of stuff in Season 2 (the stuff I can currently remember) before or during production of Season 1. However, from what I can tell so far, very little of what is discovered in Season 3 is foreshadowed in Season 1. Perhaps, though, I’m just not remembering the latter details, yet.<\/p>\n
One thing I did notice is that Boone tells Jack he’s letting him off the hook for his promise to save him before Jack’s then-future\/now-ex-wife does. Which I thought was a nice touch, and indicates either excellent planning of Season 2 during production of Season 1, or just an opportunity seized upon by the writers to make themselves look awesome by reusing a piece of dialogue. But, Jack’s reaction certainly makes it seem as though they knew he had been told he was “off the hook” before and it struck a chord with him, even if it didn’t mean anything to us, yet.<\/p>\n
That’s all for now. I’ll have another post about Season 2 when I finish it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
