You are the one that has the most different taste of the four. We need one of those :cry:

In a way :P

But I do mean what I say. It's nice to have a 'different voice'.

I think we are the perfect 'four'. The Geektastic Four :iguess:

Thanks, I am going to keep trying. But actually it might be getting harder and a little easier at the same time.

Today we got offered the chance to do a "summer schedule" at work because of the price of gas. Starting next week though Labor Day (first week of September.) I'm going to be working 9.5 hour days 4 days a week. It will save me gas money, but I won't be getting home till 7, the days I work. The other upside is I will have a day off each week. It's going to be a different day each week. One of us is allowed to take our "Gas Day" per day so the boss made sure to mix it up so one person doesn't always have long weekends and such. But I can't spend all of my days off watching TV, I'll have other stuff to do and I'm sure I'll be extra tired when I get home at night. I work 7.5 hour days now.
Like all of you even care anyway. LOL

Anyway, i'm gonna stop adding those 'Watch the episodes here' because they slow the first page. and for some reason one of the website makes you automatically go to it. it's very annoying.


so for people who don't watch them on dvd, go to the first page of this thread and you'll find those sites where you can watch the episodes.

I'm so glad you are going to stop adding those, I was bitting my tongue about how annoying the redirect was so you wouldn't say I was being bitchy again.

It started over the weekend, I think, I was like WTF! It made trying to read you comments difficult since you had to hit stop as soon as the page opened so it didn't redirect.

That was good of you to edit all the threads. It's part why we all love you even when you annoy us. ;)

I don't think anybody used those anyway. I used the site directly.
Hurley (listening to a radio transmission): You hear how clear that is? That's gotta be close, right?
Sayid: Radio waves at this frequency bounce off the ionosphere. They can travel thousands of miles. It could be coming from anywhere.
Hurley: Or any time... Just kidding, dude.

Ben: I was told a lot of things, too, that I was chosen, that I was special. I end up with a tumor on my spine and my daughter's blood all over my hands.
Locke: I'm sorry those things happened to you, Ben.
Ben: Those things had to happen to me. That was my destiny. But you'll understand soon enough that there are consequences to being chosen, because destiny, John, is a fickle bitch.

Sayid (about Ben): Forgive me, but the day I start trusting him is the day I would've sold my soul.

Season 1 wasn't a great season, perhaps 'good' is also overrating it.
I mean, I do like it. But there is little to no real plot and most episodes are just... good. It's all just... good.
Honestly, if this were the first time I watched it, I might stop watching.

The Pilot - *** Stars (#13)
Deep Throat - **** Stars (#4)
Squeeze - ** Stars (#19)
Conduit - *** Stars (#8)
The Jersey Devil - ** Stars (#18)
Shadows- ** Stars (#20)
Ghost In The Machine - * Star (#22)
Ice - ***** Stars (#2)
Space - * Star (#24)
Fallen Angel - *** Stars (#12)
Eve - *** Stars (#15)
Fire - *** Stars (#10)
Beyond The Sea - ***** Stars (#1)
Gender Bender - *** Stars (#7)

Darkness Falls - *** Stars (#6)

I think season 1 seems better when you don't know how much better it will get in time. The same thing can be said for many shows.

I might agree on that.

there were some episodes I liked better this time (Gender Bender is the biggest example). but some that I liked less (Darkness Falls unfortunately).

But for the most part. it was a decent season.

**.83 stars is probably a 6.5/10. which IS low.

if it wasn't for Space, GITM and Lazarus. it would have been a much more enjoyable season.
a lot of THREE stars were close to FOUR.

Season one was not nearly as good as I remember it. It had some good episodes, and great episodes, but also had a lot of episodes that aren't that good. The mythology isn't nearly as good as the later seasons, especially once you've seen the series already. It is mainly just vague suggestions of aliens and government conspiracies. While future seasons are still vague most of the time, it's nothing compared to this season.

While it wasn't the best start to a series, it it wasn't the worst either. There were some really good episodes, including one of the best of the series ("Beyond The Sea"), and there are more good episodes than bad ones (although it is close).

Season 1 rating: 3 stars
Hurley (listening to a radio transmission): You hear how clear that is? That's gotta be close, right?
Sayid: Radio waves at this frequency bounce off the ionosphere. They can travel thousands of miles. It could be coming from anywhere.
