lost whateverthefuck episode this is

[krickets]

C'mere, Lost. I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm just gonna kick you in the head!

Noo! Alex! *cries* What the fuck? And Penny? And Nadia? And why is this show all about Ben now? I just I don't know if I care that much about him. And I never really have.

Sawyer kicked major ass this ep. Saving Claire and standing up for Hurley and just being a big damn hero running through that yard and gunslinging and all. It makes me so happy. And not to mention, the dominoes for one of my favorite pairings, sawyer/claire, are falling into place quite nicely. I cannot believe they were just going to leave her to die. Motherfrakkers.

I know I said it already but... Alex! And he just shot her! And! She was dead! And! Oh my fucking GOD! And we even got future!back confirmation that she is indeed dead! (As if there were any question after that goodbye.) And the last words she hears are the man that she knows as father say that she means nothing to him and that she's just a pawn? Harsh! I just. *shake-ah!* *shake-ah!* Lost! Poor Alex. May she rest in peace and live on in fic.

Claire's wig is making me crazy! They couldn't have found time to fit in a "we're cutting hair!" scene in otherville? Damn. Or maybe even have it magically singed off in the explosion?

Speaking of the explosion! Hurley! Throwing the furniture through the window! Yay!

And what the hell? Why are they all still protecting Ben? Thank the lord Sawyer has finally seen the light. Both Ben and Locke are total nutjobs and the farther away everybody is from them the better. (Unless you're Hurley, in which case you'll be playing basketball in your bathrobe back on the mainland in no time.)

And how much do I not care that the smoke monster is at Ben's beck and call?

WTF DAN? Why all the lies? I want to LIKE YOU!

Sayid looked pretty in his flashback duds.

And I loved it when Miles was like "I think I'll stay with you guys for now." Ya think? And Sawyer with his "you harm one hair on his curly head and I'll kill you." Aww.

Conmama! \o/!

Heroic Sawyer was definitely the highpoint of this episode. I echo all your thoughts about how wrong it was that Alex was killed, especially the manner in which it happened.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Agreed. And agreed.

It just cements my hatred for Ben. And I don't see how people can sympathize with him after that. The look on his face? I mean you just told the guy she meant nothing to you, what did you expect? He's such a coward.

Please do not get me wrong. I love Michael Emerson. I think he's done an amazing job with this loathsome character, but more and more he's really just becoming a catch all for the show.

Ben is the beginning and ending of everything. And it feels false. Unless he's like a superhero or something, I don't buy it.

He's had so many different cons going all at the same time and it's impossible to tell where one begins and where one ends and it just bugs me.

Jack has appendicitis? I'm sure it's Ben's fault somehow, but he'll make it seem like someone else's fault, but then he's just kidding, and he'll say that he did it for the greater good, and in fact it's just a clever ruse to cover up for this other thing he did but didn't do and in fact someone else did WIDMORE! Etc.etc.etc. Just... Grrr.

Wow you so didn't ask for that.

Agreed.

I prefer Ben in small doses. I could totally see him controlling his people in their little sheltered cult with his "greater good" crap but being awkward in the real world. Making him the mastermind of everything on and off island is hard to buy, especially this James Bond turn of his.

It's quite possible he is responsible for Jack's sore tummy. It wouldn't surprise me if anyone who spent time with the Others has a little sick chip in them a la Claire.

Oh, I totally agree. That would make a lot of sense. But this whole superhero/spy/martial arts expert/sniper/ninja thing just doesn't fly with me.
