Yep, Dom was amazing! His singing totally killed me (and made me wish that he was flying with his band-mate who would naturally be played by Billy Boyd!*G*) Such a cutie, loved the hood as well...*sigh*
*G* I was definitely giggling during that whole scene. 'You DO look familiar... didn't I see you in Middle Earth a while back?' And I thought similarly about his bandmate(s), though then 'half-fling' stuck in my head at that point and reduced me to even more giggles

Didn't care all that much for the two leads though...they're ok, but the pre-romance set-up is so obvious that it's irritating me.
There's a lot about the predictability of situations, scenes, and lines that irritated me. And the romance was definitely one. But I think if I'd been trusted to stich this guy up and he made me feel confident and safe in these situations I'd probably develop feelings for him REALLY quickly and not want to leave his side. I'd definitely become a follower/dependant immediately if I was in a situation like this and no one was taking the lead.

Also, his speech about his surgical mishap really bothered me. I worked alongside many medical residents, some of them surgical, and there's simply no way in Hell anyone would be touching a 16 year old's spinal cord for their very *first* operation, at least not as anything other than an assistant...lawsuit city for the hospital and the supervisor!
LMAO! Well, you should know better than me. He did say it was his first solo operation so I suppose that changes things a little, but probably not much. If anything, that makes it even more improbable.

I saw the engine mishap coming a mile away.
Yup. I screamed, though, when it happened. I kept expecting it to, kept warning characters to move and all. But it took so long to happen that I wasn't expecting it at that very moment. I didn't freak out at any other part of the show- I was even okay with the pilot bit (though I kept flashing to Jurassic Park). But that engine part... I definitely screamed.

Despite that, this show has not diminished my desire to fly in the slightest. In fact, I secretly really get a thrill out of turbulence, though I'm sure I would still be duly freaked out if I heard some of those loud bangs and thuds accompanying the turbulence.
I actually like a little turbulence as well. So long as I'm in my seat with the seatbelt on. I was on my way back from the bathroom once and that wasn't as much fun. LOL I think I'd probably be a little scared if I'd heard extra noises as well... but if the masks came down that's when I'd really start freaking out, I think.

I'm definitely tuning in next week more more!
What did you think about Charlie's (I'm not going to get used to that character name easily, as it was Matthew Fox's character's name in Part of Five) ducking into the bathroom on the plane? "Got to get away from the bodies" was my first thought, obviously. But then I got a little more suspicious when he didn't look that emotionally distressed when he came out... so I formulated a half dozen theories. It just seemed... odd. I dunno. Maybe he just wanted to see if it still worked.

Did it bother you at all that they didn't show a lot of salvaging or rationing food/drink or all getting together to discuss/lead? It felt very badly organized to me. I guess I had the ability to know they were off course and not going to get rescued immediately. But, still, I would have felt better if I'd seen Jack do a head count and inventory count and all.
