If you need me, I'll be fic-battling.

It's worse than I thought. This is not a statement about the show or its entertainment value or plot points at all. But, there is way too much Juliet and way too much Ben for me. Plus... it's so fucking obvious Charlotte's going to bite it - or something really super bad's gonna happen. And they've even morphed Richard into some bastard version of Ben. All of his lines were "Ben-lines" and he even delivered them the way Ben would deliver them - I fucking love Richard. Don't do this to me, LOST. I am this!close to quitting this show. I'll still be ficcing, probably. But at this point my commitment to LOST - the show, not the fandom - is at the "we'll see if I feel like watching it next week" stage.

At least Obama's President.

(That's going to be my closing line after every bitching post I make this year.)

I knowwwwww. Charlotte with the nosebleed and headache and not remembering. She's so doomed and that makes me SO angry!
Ya know I thought something seemed a little weird about Richard tonight. SO NOT COOL SHOW!
*sigh*

Barack Obama. Mr. Prez #44.

I'm sorry the premiere did not sit well with you. Too much Juliet? If you didn't like it when all she did was looked confused, it probably won't get better for you!

I really liked the Richard parts. He seemed less self-interested than Ben.

It's on my Tivo as I couldn't be bothered to get up and watch.

WHO are all these people? I liked it better when the show was about a core group of people surviving a plane crash.

Is Sun okay? This I must know.

Huh. I'm not watching this season at all. I will be reading reviews to keep up, because I still love fandom and fics. I'm definitely going to watch season 6 though, since Claire is said to come back. Yes, I'm that easy.

Ben and Richard..I like them both but Richard could be creepy when he wanted to be too, remember when he sort of but really did trick Juliet into coming to the island.

Charlotte, the nose bleed, never ever a good thing.

Savoring the moment, he spent 10 minutes alone, reading the private note left to him by his predecessor in an envelope marked "To: #44, From: #43." But that was about the only quiet moment he got. -source. (http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nationworld/politics/wire/chi-obama_mainjan22,0,4123501.story)

Well the whole pairing off with Sawyer was obvious, and then they made her the damsel again (I hate her as damsel more) by threatening to cut off her hand and... sigh. It was "so this is what they're setting up" for the season. Them being paired off, being leaders, being snarky (the wet part), being... James and Juliet.

I generally like Richard. He's one of my favorite characters. It just felt like they wrote that scene for Ben.

I completely agree with this sentiment. And even those people look strangely unfamiliar these days.

Sun is okay... she's just morphed into a super-bitchy secret agent type.

I was thinking of doing that myself. I may stick around until Charlotte kicks the bucket. I haven't really decided my course of action. Though I have a feeling I'm just going to be unhappy. And if nobody even mentions Claire? I'm going to be super pissed, lol.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Yeah I do remember that. I liked Richard's creepiness. It was very different from Ben's creepiness though. I hope he's in more of the coming eps.

Sawyer didn't say anything about Claire? Now that's just not right. How about Jack?

I didn't watch the episodes and don't plan to - but I do know exactly how you feel, believe me! We should definitely go and be bitter together. ;)
