Alex and I have waited ’til now to watch LOST. We’ve watched several episodes, and her crackpot idea was to write a haiku about each one. Her crackpot ideas tend to be awesome.
Anyway, here are the first seven, plus a limerick I wrote out of the normal sequence, and an extra haiku she wrote. I’ll post the rest as we go.
| S1E1 (Pilot, Part 1) | |
|---|---|

| How did we survive? Everybody’s dead except trendy stereotypes |
It’s New Zealand, right? Ents gone berserk! Cute doctor… now please kill Shannon. |
| S1E2 (Pilot, Part 2) | |
|---|---|
| Me: | Alex |
| So Kate’s got secrets. Party of Five Guy won’t care after her bath scene. |
Baldy should have packed his Hungry Hungry Hippos. Sushi on the beach! |
| S1E3 (“Tabula Rasa“) | |
|---|---|

Secrets will blow up… Do whistles call polar bears? Kate–WHAT DID YOU DO?! |
| S1E4 (“Walkabout“) | |
|---|---|
| Me: | Alex |
| Locke’s legs work again. Jack sees some guy in a suit. (There’s still a monster!) |

Worst Lifeguard Ever! Jack’s dad’s corpse leads to water… Still hate Sawyer most. |
| S1E6 (“House of the Rising Sun“) | |
|---|---|
| Me: | Alex |

| Me: | Alex |
| Charlie’s got the shakes The signal thing worked somehow (moth is symbolic) |
Withdrawal sure sucks And so does being useless So Go Charlie Go! |
| Supplementary Items | |
|---|---|
| Me: | Alex |
| One survivor for each demographic (not one of which, so far, is Sapphic) the sex is just flirting the violence just hurting but the plot exposition is graphic |
Hurley, we love you! When do we hear your story? Will we like you less? |
