Evil Sayid = Goooood

Are you digging Sayid's evil transformation? I just Hulued (it's a verb now, right?) last night's episode of Lost, and Naveen Andrews ROCKS.

Dang.

He does good evil.

And Terry O'Quinn is dominating as the smoke monster/very very angry dude who is so evil he continues to make even the ever-eviller Sayid look like a boy scout.

And do you love Emilie de Ravin's Psycho Claire? I thought for sure she was gonna ice Kate when she told her that she (Kate) took Aaron. And I think she would have, but she was in that hole. Then when they all came out, she didn't even glance at Kate. They appear to be under the spell of the evil that inhabits John Locke's body.

Finally, Lost is getting good again. It spent several seasons yanking our chains and dropping threads left and right. I honestly don't see how they're going to tie everything up, but they at least are making some movement now. An end date appears to be a good thing.

It's fun to see these actors who played relatively virtuous or born-again-virtuous characters go so off the deep, bad end. I envy them. Playing bad is so much fun.

I haven't fully bought into these flash-sideways things, though. Why is the character's history so different just because they didn't get on a plane? Wouldn't they have had the same life up until the point of the Oceanic flight that never happened in AlternaSideWorld?

I'm just sayin'.

For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, count yourself lucky. It's a little late in the game to attempt to catch up on this convoluted series. But it's not too late for another ABC series, FlashForward, which not only has a Lost-like feel and vibe to it, but has one of the actors from Lost (Penny/Sonya Walger) starring in it.

It's only in its first season. But if you really want to follow Lost, they have all the episodes up on Hulu.

It just might take some time.

And when you get to the episode with Nikki, skip it. It will only annoy you.











Really, Hulu should be paying me for this free and hearty endorsement. Don't you think?
