I am a late new-comer to Lost. I had downloaded it for David's iPod a while back because I thought he'd like it for travel. It took me a while to getting around to watching it myself (like until I got a video iPod, for starters). I started watching the show recently and really like it so far. I watched the pilot episode on a plane. I must say - that was therapeutic. Watching a show about a plane hitting really bad turbulence and splitting in two while you're on a plane and flying in turbulence was a new one on me. At one point, I was sucked into the show and watching a moment between two characters right before the crash. Our flight was smooth as well. Then our plane hit turbulence at the exact same moment the show's plane hit turbulence. I must admit...I made an audible noise.
Anyway...
The other day I commented that I couldn't figure out which one of the cast members was Michelle Rodriguez. David said that he didn't know who that was and I explained that I remembered reading news reports that Michelle Rodriguez had been pulled over for drunk driving while in Hawaii filming Lost.
At this point, David could have put two and two together and realized that there's a major plot point that I hadn't yet seen. Instead, he blurted out "Maybe she's one of the people from the back half of the plane". At which point it became really obvious that there's a major plot twist coming up involving a bunch of people previously thought dead.
Thanks a lot, David.
I immediately chastised him for revealing something I didn't want to know about future events and this was his brilliant response: "Well...there are lots of websites with plot spoilers on the web."
Yes. And I don't visit them.
I hope that we meet these characters soon, because now this is hanging over me as I watch episodes: when are we going to meet the people from the back half of the plane?
FYI - If you haven't seen Lost and you were expecting to watch it someday, you shouldn't have been reading this blog entry.
