Zub Tales

Well, following up on my previous post:

3 episodes in and Lost is excellent! Compelling characters, interesting plot threads along with little and big mysterious to unravel.

So I went and bought the Season One box set just like I said I would.

Also, episode 3 has an emotional little song that grabbed me:

Wash Away Joe Purdy I got troubles, lord, but not today ‘Cause they’re gonna wash away They’re gonna wash away And I have sins, lord, but not today ‘Cause they’re gonna wash away They’re gonna wash away And I have friends, lord, but not today ‘Cause they done washed away They done washed away Lord, I’ve been crying alone I’ve been crying alone No, no more crying alone no, no more crying here. We get lonely, lord, but not today Cause we’re gonna wash away We’re gonna wash away I got troubles, lord, but not today Cause they’re gonna wash away This old river’s gonna take them away.

The episodic format works very well with an ensemble cast like this. Little stories interwoven as the personalities of the characters emerge and conflict rears its head. People stripped down to their survival selves and the core emotions they have to confront get delved in to. Fantastic.

See, not all my entertainment related rants are negative ones. 🙂
