lost - 4:03 the economist



Right now Lost is up there with Twin Peaks and Riget as one of the best TV-series ever. The plot is brilliant, interesting and mysterious. The dialoge believable and tight. The characters manage to stay believable eventhough everything else is a total mystery. They have human emotions and weaknesses. Like Sayid in this episode. Naveen Andrews does a great job when he gives this former officer in the Iraqi Republican Guard both a big brain and a big heart. Not that common in american shows nowadays. Arabs are usually portrayed as evil extremists. But Sayid is a welcome exception. As usually a lot of new questions are raised in this episode. Have Sayid met Naomi before? How come both Naomi and Elsa had the same type of bracelet? Inside Naomis bracelet the words "I will always be with you R.C." So who is this R.C.? Naomi was hired by Matthew Abaddon. The same scary dude who visited Hurley at the mental hospital. Did he hire Elsa too or is he just a middleman? And Daniel Faraday discovered some weird shit about the island. 31 minutes. That is not good! I really don't know what more to ask for from this show. It has beautiful assassins. Weird scientists. Mysterious men and women. Strange conspiracies. And you never ever can be sure who is good and who is bad. You don't even know if good or bad exist on this island. Well, here's another long week of waiting for the next episode...
