Style over substance
*This entry contains no spoilers of any substance*
Last week our DVR went wonky and only taped the first 4 minutes of Lost. As ABC has arbitrarily decided that those of us here in the GWN are not deserving of free downloads of episodes via teh internets, I was forced to find a site that had a transcript.
Dude. It took me like 5 minutes to read the whole thing. When I got to the end, I actually checked to see if there wasn't another page link or something. I know scripts generally read much faster than they air, but I have read other scripts online and never taken so short a time. So, either the camera spent many minutes lovingly scanning over Sawyer's poor bruised body or there were fifty gazillion commercials.
Neither replaces real story-telling.
Although if the camera had spent some quality time with Sayid, I would have forgiven them...

My DVR did the same with my Oprah! I think it had something to do with the time change.
Either that, or it's a conspiracy. *shrug*
Hmm. Lost. Yeah.
I just, I dunno.
But Sayid. Oh sweet Sayid.
