more cause apparently I feel the need to explain further

Other stuff about LOST:

Other stuff that kind of bugged me:
- Ben is not Jack's keeper, or BFF, or his momma. And if Ben flushing his shit breaks him of his habit that's just cheap and easy storytelling.
- Snake-lady at the end. I was so ready for her to morph into the smoke monster or a giant reptile or something. Also, casual viewers won't remember her. I know because I asked my mom, who has seen every episode of Lost, and she had no idea who she was.
- Hurley's not that big of an idiot. A little goofy, sometimes not too bright. But, seriously? Cheech and Chong's Weekend at Sayid's? No.
- Sun being kind of a bitch to Kate. Saying she forgives her but obviously having issues with the whole thing, etc.? Huh?
- Sun wanting to kill Ben. Say what now? Didn't see that coming. Not sure I care.
- Ben being the messiah - yet again. Hey everybody he's planning to hunt down Penny because he was too much of a pussy to risk his own life to save Alex's. I fucking hate his ass. GO AWAY.
- Locke being all "hey wassup, guys" even though he's a psycho.
- Alliteration. Juliet and James. I think I'm going to puke... fire or... snakes or... razors or rotten eggs or something.
- Sawyer's going to get skin cancer.
- I didn't see (missed the first 15 minutes) but I heard that Sawyer hit Dan? And threatened to hit Charlotte? WTF? SAWYER? You know not what you do!
- Other others-es.
- All the "she is going to die" foreshadowing in Charlotte's general direction.


Good:
- Hurley trusting his gut and choosing to be arrested instead of going with Ben.
- Hurley's confession to his mother and her reaction.
- Charlotte and Dan. You know, except for the part where he doesn't tell her what's going on. MAN UP, DANIEL!
- MILES.
- Richard. (For the few short seconds he wasn't channeling Ben.)
- Ethan.
- The moment in the elevator where we got to see Kate actually being a mom to Aaron - say what you will, he needs a mother - rather than being all "mine, mine!" with him. Which is how I've felt her interactions with him have been in the past.
- I liked Sawyer saying what he did about the people on the freighter. Almost vindicates him for being an abusive jerk earlier.
- ANA LUCIA. I knew the cop was going to be her. She was delightful. How come dead!characters are always better than live ones? Also, Libby says hi, snerk.
- Jack and Sayid. I don't ship them but it was practically the only scene that made sense to me in this entire episode. YAY for that.
- Richard telling Locke to GO AND DIE. (Sort of.)
- Sayid's badassery was lovely.

you're harshing my buzz dude

Haha, that's what I said... to the show.

Aw, I don't blame Sawyer for hitting Dan. In the bit you missed, Sawyer was freaking out because all his friends just disappeared/died and he wanted an explanation from Daniel, who said he knew what had happened, and Daniel was all like "I can't explain it because you're basically too dumb, I know you don't know me at all (cause Sawyer's never met him) but just follow me!" and wouldn't give Sawyer any kind of answer and just kept walking ahead. I probably would've lost it a bit in that situation.

I'm with you, if Ben flushing Jack's pills is all it takes to break Jack, I'm going to be very angry. That's just weak.

Yeah, seriously, Sawyer needs a shirt.

Yay Ana Lucia!!!

Well okay, I'll give him hitting Dan, but threatening to hit a lady is still not okay in my book. Even if you're Sawyer.

Dan did seem to be a bit of a Debbie Downer in this. "Nothing we do matters so we should probably just forget about it." Even though he was wrong about Desmond not coming to the door.

So weak! "I was just going to do that myself." Hahaha, no. He's not stuck on an island without his dealer like Charlie was... and even that wasn't played too realistically.

Yeah I was, I think, one of the few who didn't completely hate her when she was on. But I absolutely loved her appearance last night. And Michelle looked beautiful too.

You and I are on the same page about some of this stuff! I was totally thinking "Weekend at Sayid's." And the alliteration is way worse than Juliet and James, said John...while thinking of Jack and Jacob...ugh.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

My mom was so mad at me while we were watching when I mentioned the Weekend at Sayid's thing.

Well my true issue doesn't involve alliteration itself. It involves alliteration between James and Juliet. Which is a pairing I dislike almost more than Jack and Juliet. Which is a whole hell of a lot. Of course I have Juliet issues as it is... so the obvious pairing off of those two in this episode brought major eyerolls from me.

I liked the ep overall, though I do agree with some of your points re: Ben and Mrs. Hawking.

Well, I *do* ship Jack/Sayid and you'd better believe I approved of that hospital scene!

Sayid's badassery was lovely.

Oh, yes. Yes, it was. :)

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Is it Mrs. Hawking. Is that a Stephen Hawking reference? Cause of the whole time travel thing? Oh, I get it, lol. LOST.

Yeah that was a GREAT shippable scene! Hey if they keep behaving like that I might just ship them too. (By like that, I mean like two people who know each other, who are still who they are, whose dynamic I still recognize.)

I was saying, he should jump hurdles in the Olympics! lol.

I'm up to a point of caring just enough to enjoy the good and let the things that are bugging me slide. it's quite awesome. I don't have as many stuff not making me happy as you though, because I'm fairly easy ;)

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Yeah I think that was my point last year. I've had a traditionally rocky relationship with Lost ever since season two... but I'm almost to the end of my rope. We'll play it on a week by week basis from here on out.

[wingedseraph7.livejournal.com]

Harsh. LOL. I still lub you.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I can't help but feel how I feel, man. Hehehe.
