wetflame: up & running again

i seriously cannot describe how good this show is. i've watched the first two episodes now, and i'm hooked. hell, i was hooked from the first. this has pretty much everything that i love in these sorts of shows. mystery, dramatic openings.. okay, i went and created a spoiler css style so i could talk about this without.. spoiling things. people who haven't seen lost, i suggest you find a way to do so. for those who have watched at least the first two episodes, highlight to read. or if you don't care. either way.

warning! excitedness and plenty of capitals!
OKAY. so this tv show is pretty much amazing. the opening scenes where it starts off with jack waking up in the jungle, looking like it's another cast away with no-one around, tropical island in the middle of nowhere and then BAM. AIRPLANE WRECK. ohhhhh it's just a spectacular sight. and the best part is, THAT'S THE SET. this island, with a huge jungle, mountains, and all this wreckage. i love that. and OH MY GOD. THE MONSTER? there's something out there and i just love it already. i don't care whether people think it's king kong or something stupid. there is something huge and hidden in there. the longer it stays out of sight, the more excited/nervous i am going to get. just like the village. and, uh, the haunting (shut up). i mean, it PULLED THE PILOT OUT OF THE COCKPIT. i just keep imagining this huge lumbering thing that's a cross between a cave troll and the best videogame enemy ever. please, please don't let me down on this one.

AHHHHH. so yes. also, the girl is the criminal, but what did she do? why was she being escorted by a us marshall? and there was a POLAR BEAR. IN THE JUNGLE. all this stuff just screams "huge, really complicated and involved mystery" to me, and i love how everything seems so out of place. i just want to know what's going on but i'm having such an amazing time NOT HAVING A CLUE. and the radio message? someone has been on that island before, someone speaking in french about how she was left alone after "it" killed everyone else. someone was trapped, like they were. somone's message has been playing repeatedly for SIXTEEN YEARS. there's no way they're getting rescued. ever. maybe.

aahhhhh. so yes. i am excited. in fact, i think i'm going to go watch another episode. or should i? should i wait til tomorrow? get more excited?¹

apologies for the long, hopefully mostly invisible post. but it's a while since something like this has come along, and i love it. i love a mystery i can't solve. i'm like the anti-johnathon creek.

¹ no. i'm going to watch it now. besides, san andreas is tomorrow.
