I’m assuming that most of my Inter-Galaxy Portal readers have been following Lost lately. Have any of you guys noticed just how absurd Sayid’s fight scenes are getting? In one episode he had the dishwasher with knives stacked point up (who does that?!) so that his aggressor could conveniently fall down on the knives and be taken out. So either he normally sticks knives that way, which isn’t very safe, or he prepared that in advance, just in case an aggressor would conveniently land in his dishwasher. Then in the last episode, the nurse spins around with a gun and doesn’t see Sayid who’s crouching just a couple of feet to the right. Seriously? There’s no way he would’ve not seen Sayid hiding there unless he had a serious case of tunnel vision. I’m also very perplexed about this whole Rousseu business. If she’s pregnant, Jin can’t have travelled more than 16 years back in time. I think most science fiction fans are more than familiar with what Mira Furlan looked like 16 years ago since she was starring in Babylon 5 16 years ago. (This pic is Furlan just 13 years ago). And she didn’t look like the baby-faced actress they used in that scene. For that matter, the actress didn’t even have the same facial shape as Furlan. So…. Either these Rousseau’s aren’t really the same person, or this was a hopeless attempt at the Lost writers trying to keep audiences in the dark… again.
