LOST Meme Day 2
Day 2: Your favorite episode
Make an inspired guess...
1x13 Hearts and Minds
D'uh!!!
My favorite character (oups now I spoiled you... ;) ) was centric in only one episode. Comes kinda natural that this would be my favorite episode, no?
There have been many other great episodes, too many to list them all up here but this one was about my baby bird (and Shoone, and I've always been a bit of a Shooner), so yes. My favorite.
If you'd be so cruel and ask me to choose another episode, then I would probably... no I think most definitely go with the Pilot. For the simple reason that it still is, quite frankly, the finest (roughly) 90 minutes that have ever been produced for the small screen. I've watched it so many times already and it blows my mind every.time. No matter what I'm doing at the time, it always pulls me in and has me sitting there, staring at the screen, eyes wide, mouth open and in awe.
I will never forget how I ended up watching LOST. A few of my chat friends talked about this new show and when I asked them for details, they just said: "It's about a plane crash but we cannot say anything else really without spoiling you too much."
And I just thought "Yeah, whatever, pompous asses!!"
I knew it was a JJ Abrams show and another friend of mine, who knew how much I loved Alias, kept nagging me to give it a try. "You love Alias, don't you? You're gonna love this one as well!"
So I "acquired" the 2 pilot episodes and Tabula Rasa but still didn't feel like watching it. Then one day, I think I was sick and spent most of the day in bed or on the couch and had practically watched everything I ever wanted to watch, I got really bored, so I decided that now is the time to watch this strange new super hyped show.
I wasn't too impressed. Plane crash, couple of survivors on a tropical island, yadda yadda yadda... been there, done that, like a million times! (I usually don't like things that are super hyped, or at least I'm a lot more critical towards them!). Then the episode was over. And I sat there, moth hanging open. I could have sworn, I started the episode less than 20mins ago! Immediately started the 2nd part of the pilot, checked my watches... and the same thing happened. I didn't even realize it but the episodes just grabbed me and pulled me in that I literally forgot everything around me.
Some time later (season 1 but I don't remember which one, around mid-season I think) I sat down in the afternoon to watch the new episode with a nice steaming hot cup of cappuccino. I got really comfy on the couch, arms wrapped around my legs, balancing the cup on my knees, warming my hands on the cup... I had all attention sipping it slowly while watching the episode.
After the episode was over, it took me a moment to come back to reality and then I looked down at my full cup of cappuccino. I had forgotten about it completely. And I was still sitting in the same position. Which is like a miracle. I can never sit still for more than a few minutes, I always fidget around.
So yeah... in case you ever wondered why I love Lost so much and still think it is the greatest thing on television, past, present and future... *points up*
What was the question for today? Oh.... favorite episode... Yes... Hearts and Minds. :D
