Pati Praeterita: October 2014
http://patiorpraeterituspreteritus.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 26, 2014. Horse is a horse. Season two's ‘What Kate Did’ is another mostly winning episode in which we finally learn of the reason for Kate’s fugitive status. To watch the various shades of Kate's character build to this depth comes as a great relief, though at the expense of the deployment of the supremely overdone metaphor of woman-as-wild-horse ( Lost. Writers, I tip my hat to your long-arc narrative abilities). Jack in this schema acts as the stable, honorable love that Kate feels...

Pati Praeterita: May 2015
http://patiorpraeterituspreteritus.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 16, 2015. The love of god. 8216;The Brig’ stages a reverse Abraham and Isaac story involving Locke and his peskily still-alive father. Lost. Encounters all too frequently: shrill moralizing of an either/or sort, itself at odds with the more finely-tuned nuances and complexities of the greater narrative. Type situation in which Locke is absolved of the murder of his father by Sawyer, who's appetite for destruction is framed in terms of his own need for love, from the ladies (i.e. Kat...And t...

Sunday, July 19, 2015. More layers of Lost. Again engages in a high level of gruesome violence, here, in Sawyer’s murder of ‘Mr. Sawyer’ (Locke’s father as well as the conman who caused Sawyer’s parents’ deaths), and especially in the season three closer, 'Through the Looking Glass.'. To step back for a moment, the high level of violence throughout Lost. Is most successful when it holds the tension and bluster suspended for a bit, as it does in ‘Maternity Leave.’ Likewise, t. S high level of violence.

Monday, March 30, 2015. Il le ne le divin enfant. 8216;One of Us,’ in addition to nabbing its title from the worst song on ABBA Gold. 2004 (casually pointing you here. The ‘us and them’ factor so common in Lost. The trust-and-distrust web forming around Juliet has as a common thread one of the central theses of Lost. Monday, March 9, 2015. The deeply fucked-up (and hilarious) ‘Expose’ mines the same spiritual vein as an X-Files. A serial drama about crime-solving strippers that Hurley compares (favorably...

Pati Praeterita: over exposure
http://patiorpraeterituspreteritus.blogspot.com/2015/03/over-exposure.html
Monday, March 9, 2015. The deeply fucked-up (and hilarious) ‘Expose’ mines the same spiritual vein as an X-Files. Style ‘monster-of-the-week’ scenario, while also answering the burning question of what will become of Nikki and Paulo. For starters, we see Nikki and none other than Billy Dee Williams teaming up for a steamy season finale to Expose. A serial drama about crime-solving strippers that Hurley compares (favorably) to Baywatch. The Shannon and Boone connection makes itself annoyingly apparent whe...

Pati Praeterita: accidents will happen
http://patiorpraeterituspreteritus.blogspot.com/2014/12/accidents-will-happen.html
Saturday, December 6, 2014. Hugo and the rest of the Reyes family account for some of Lost. Aside from Hugo's back story, the episode also includes what might have worked as a ‘Twenty Years Later’ epilogue to Dazed and Confused. Humanizing moments such as these have a way of adding depth to the characters without actually altering their behaviors or worldviews appreciably. Perhaps Lost. I appreciate the dimension it gives to him. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Smile, at least.

Pati Praeterita: February 2015

Tuesday, February 3, 2015. 8220;Enter 77” is a particularly beguiling episode, lacing. 8217;s propensity for violent shorthand with intrigue of the Cold War sort in the form of a Russian Dharma Initiative outlier. The computerized chess game in Mikhail's lair, with its tinny, cheap sound effects, acts as a psychological blueprint of the episode and its several moving parts: Locke’s aborted unlocking of a communications strategy (very. There is a constant curiosity amongst the survivors of Lost. The Ameri...
