Red face discombobulated by disturbing stuff

Hi Mari

I just wanted to let you know what was going on, and why I haven't really written much in terms of my own thoughts as to what is going on with LOST.

You mentioned about S3 Ep1 being disturbing. YES. I found it very disturbing too, in many of the same ways you mentioned, andthensome. The psychological contrast between aspects of Kate's treatment are very disturbing, the dress and the myriad implications of that, the exquisite looking breakfast... with a captor, her having to cuff herself in order to partake... later we see the cuffs have made her bleed but we are left to imagine how it might have happened.

It goes even further than that single episode for me, though. I actually started feeling disturbed at the end of S2, and now ... even though what is going on is significant in terms of character development, so I do find it intriguing ... I also find it hard to watch.

It would probably be easier if i could watch just once a week, but a daily dose of this twisted stuff is hard for me to stomach! I think that is why I find it hard to come back and comment on it. Hopefully it will be less disturbing ... or I will adjust to it soon.

This is what I saw tonight (description from IMDB):


S3, Ep4 - "Every Man for Himself"
Quote:
The Others perform a sadistic medical procedure on Sawyer in order to prevent him from causing any more mischief.
Tomorrow (Thursday) I will be out in the evening so I will be watching one of the repeat showings (either during the night or Friday at noon.)
