Although, Matthew Fox is a much better actor than the other two, chemistry matters, too.



Though I'm not much for ships (outside of maybe Mal and Inara), I could never understand the Kate and Sawyer thing...Kate and Jack makes more sense to me. It just comes down to how you see things, I guess ;)

I agree about Jack in the sense that if you want to be stranded on a deserted island with someone, you want it to be with someone who's going to work with you instead of screw you over to get what he wants/needs. I'd personally prefer Jack to Sawyer, but with Kate, I just don't think the writers have actually written toward a potential Jack/Kate pairing as much as they've built up Kate/Sawyer. Maybe if they had, I'd feel differently.

Standoff comes on before House, on Tuesdays at 7, on Fox (at least where I am). I actually really like it. I do wish there was more Gina (which is happening in the show a little), but otherwise it's great.

Didn't see Daybreak (might just go watch the recording I have now), so I can't say, but it doesn't look that great to me from what I've seen.

Don't like Lost, just watched it for Nathan (whose character, because of the writing, was less-than-good).

That's the funny thing...except for this season, I just haven't seen anything built between Kate and Sawyer except a few chemically charged scenes which don't count much to me. It's all about perspective :)

Standoff: The first episode I saw was this last weeks, and I thought it was very good. Not enough Gina Torres in my opinion, but I am a fan of Ron Livingston so I was happy. I will definately watch it again next week.

Daybreak: I thought it was very entertaining. Hopefully it will not get old after a while. I liked Groundhog Day so hopefully with Adam and some gun fights it will be just as good if not better. And I am really having a hard time with Adam playing a not so nice person. I will watch it again next week as well.

Lost: Nathan was great. Lost is one of my favorite shows and having him on it for an episode was fantastic. Too bad he couldn't be a castaway so we could see him every week again. He is too good of an actor to be an extra.

Maybe the extra-slow buildup of Jack/Kate had a reason, like that Sawyer is just the roadblock on the way there. She has to go through her bad-boy phase (which is maybe delayed reation to killing her father/old boyfriend--she thinks Jack's too good for her?)and once she finds out that he slept with Ana-Lucia (or some other stupid/assholey thing he does) she'll go running to Jack.


As for Nathan on Lost, I was thinking exactly the same thing. I wish he was a regular instead of a guest star. He would be so great with the main cast!

Standoff:
Didn't see it.

Daybreak:
Thought it was very good. Adam is very good at playing Bastards ;)

Lost:
Don't watch the show, but watched just for Nathan, and I thought he was great, but my mum thinks i'm jealous of Kate.

Havent seen Standoff or Daybreak yet.

I missed Alan Tudyk guest starring on CSI. I'm still mad about that one.

I never watch Lost but when i heard Nathan was going to be on it I definitely tuned in. My husband thought I was crazy because I have no idea whats going on.

As soon as Nathan said: "Wanna get it on?" I just melted and pretended he was talking to me. I still fantasize about that.

Urg! I went to watch Daybreak, but it only taped half the episode! Apparently there wasn't enough time left on the tape, but...



From what I saw of Adam, I liked (::shudders::); but, as far as the rest of the show goes... the main character is freaky, and the story is a little (a lot) unbelievable (for me, anyway). I'll probably still tune in for Adam (just like with Summer and The Unit), but I don't know how much of it I'll like.
