[Big Boy Laroux]

erica, that was episode 1 and 2? i think you just picked up with the last 2 episodes that played (in the re-run), not the first 2. this really is a show that, for the full effect, needs to be watched from the beginning. that could be why you didn't get into it. There's more backstory for all of those characters (for example, the revelation about locke has a lot more effect after watching the previous episodes).

but yes, the girl that plays kate is hot.

as for the comic book, evil, J.J Abrams has said that all props are intentional...
