Lost Recap by Doc Jensen

The famous Doc Jensen has posted his recap for last night’s premiere.

And down the rabbit hole we go. Or should that be wormhole? Lost plunged into brain-boggling sci-fi in last night’s premiere, and the show itself seemed anxious about our reaction. The self-conscious opening sequence — with Dharma laborers drilling into the Island’s ”exotic matter” and melting their bits; the Dharma hardhat who rolled his eyes at the Dharma Dude of Many Names as he bleated about time travel — spoke to and for those who have always worried that the show’s overtly out-there elements would turn the series into silly hokum. If you got a cathartic thrill out of seeing Sawyer slap Doc Faraday across his scruffy theory-spouting mug (ouch!) and then threaten scientist sidekick Charlotte Lewis with the same (”Shut it, Ginger, or you’re getting one, too!”), then you’re probably one of the wary. Me? I’ve always liked Lost‘s geeky side, and more, the adventurous storytelling it inspires. ”Because You Left” — which skipped back and forth along the Island’s timeline, leaving the castaways (and us) to puzzle out their time/space whereabouts — was a wild winner in my book. And it was made possible, no doubt, by all the bandwagon fans that have fallen off over the years — the ones Lost doesn’t have to worry about alienating anymore. ”Because You Left.” How ironic.
