Mad Men

Mad Men season 5 finally began last night with an incredible two-hour premiere. I liked everything about the episode, especially that race and the Civil Rights Movement are becoming important issues. The show skipped just far enough ahead for Joan to have birthed her baby and for Don and Megan to be married. The time jump seemed appropriate to me (someone told me it may jump ahead six years and I panicked). Did you watch it? What did you think? Or, should I say, “Zou Bisou Bisou”?

SHANNON:
[translating the French woman's distress signal] "I’m alone now. On the island alone. Please, someone come. The others, they’re … they’re dead. It killed them. It killed them all."

BOONE:
That was good.

SAYID:
Sixteen years.

SAWYER:
What?

SAYID:
Sixteen years. And five months. That’s the count.

BOONE:
What the hell are you talking about?

SAYID:
The iterations. It’s a distress call. A plea for help. A mayday. If the count is right … It’s been playing over … and over … for sixteen years.

BOONE:
Someone else? Was stranded here?

KATE:
Maybe they came for them.

SAWYER:
If someone came, why is it still playing?

CHARLIE:
Guys…where are we?


I actually didn't quite watch LOST from the very beginning. It was this scene, the last of Part 2 of the Pilot, that I first laid eyes upon. It was also this scene that made me fall in love with the show. It was so terrifyingly ominous that it would suck me into six seasons of utter madness.


Last LOST post of the day, I promise!
