Better late than never, right?

So, I finally started with the LOST rewatch... and I have to say I am pretty disappointed in myself for not being a part of it since the start with everyone else who is participating. I really meant to... but I guess life got in the way.

Anyways, needless to say... I did finally start it this week. And I am sooo pumped!

I didn't approach it the same way as some people have, in that I didn't sit there with a notepad and scrawl a bunch of notes while I watched. I know if I even attempt to do that, I'll end up shooting myself in the foot and won't enjoy it as much.

So since this is the last opportunity for us to watch it from start to finish without knowing the outcome yet, I thought I would really just watch and absorb as much as I can.

I do have a few things to point out after watching the first 3 episodes of season 1.

...for those of you who want clarification - that's the pilot part 1 & 2 and also Tabula Rasa.

Here's what I noticed that I never realized before:

• Jack is a big flirt even in the worst times imaginable. We know since we've already seen the show like a gazillion times that he hits on Ana Lucia in the airport bar, and then we also see him using his charm (and flirting) with the flight attendant, Cindy. Then he hits a bit of a rough patch and has to deal with the whole crash landing of a plane, but then proceeds to start chatting up Kate. Umm Hmmm... all this and he's just found out his dad died, and is escorting his body back on the plane. Is this really the time for all this Jack??


• Another thing I found odd was that Kate, Jack and Charlie set out to find the cockpit of the plane only on the second day after the plane crash. Anybody else find it odd that the pilot didn't come to before then? He was knocked out to the point where he only wakes up the day after...and yet he's able to stand and move around the cabin? Are we sure he wasn't reanimated or something?


• I never realized that Ray, the guy that turns Kate in... has a prostetic arm. I don't know if we should be wondering about that, but it's a bit odd that we know Pierre Chang was suppossed to lose an arm... and that Montand lost an arm... doesn't it kinda seem significant - maybe just cause it's so random?


• Also is it just me or does it seem like Kate's marshall has the hots for Kate? Like maybe she had wronged him in another way that he also wants revenge for... I dunno. That guy needs to chill a bit.


• I definitely think Locke was weird from Day One. Where did he get that orange from anyways?


• I think there's a major clue that this business between Jacob and MM is as old as the game of backgammon (was that 500yrs old?).

That's it for now... Gonna try and watch some more tonight!
