  • What do you make of the ... | Matt Roush | 3/24/2008
    Question: What do you make of the boomlet of non-Americans playing American characters on TV? From Terminator's Lena Headey to Pushing Daisies' Anna Friel and New Amsterdam's Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, TV is full of fresh faces. Do you think this is the result of Lost breaking through with a largely unknown cast? I also have to give a shout-out to the sublime Alan Dale.

There hasn't been an off episode yet, and each one feels more amazing than the last.If you've got complaints about time spent away from Ben, Locke, Kate, Sawyer and most of the rest of the folks left behind on the island, take them elsewhere. This episode worked beautifully as a showcase for Henry Ian Cusick as the tormented Desmond. It was almost a stand-alone episode, a Twilight Zone/X-Files-style adventure with a start, middle and killer finish. And yet it also advanced our knowledge and teased the mystery of what’s happening on the “rescue” freighter, while giving us a rapturously romantic climactic reunion (on the phone, but hey) between Desmond and his impat... read more
