We're lost! We're lost! Help us! We're lost!


On-island Kate (and Sawyer): I guess I'm just disturbed that both of them would abandon their friends and the people that (we hope) they care about. But I don't know why these types of things surprise me, considering I have been watching this fucking show for six years. I should not be surprised at all at these types of antics. Jin is the only one who makes sense in this scenario. GO JIN.

To Kate, I don't get why she suddenly just now has an unstoppable urge to find Claire and abandon her friends at the TEMPLE OF DOOM. While I still support the sentiment, the timing seems weird.

To Sawyer, I just can't handle it. Please go away. I maintain that after season four, they basically just erased the person he had become. Last season, he morphed into this person who three years later, I could care less about, who seemed fake, and wasn't at all the character I'd grown to viciously love. And this season so far, he's regressed -- only it's not compelling because of what they did to him in season five.

To pill, or not to pill? Let me count the ways in which I DON'T CARE. So Sayid is going to be overtaken, possessed? by something. That's something I care about -- except for the fact that I don't like the idea of it at all. Is killing him the only way?

Flash-sideways (who coined that?) Claire (and Kate): I'm just going to go on record in saying that the flash-sideways thing is just not all that interesting. I was glad to see Claire but not the contrivance that accompanied her. (And the wig, of course.) Fanfic does it so much better.

NO RICHARD! Show? Have we not talked about this? There should always be Richard.

On-island Claire: I knew what was up as soon as they ran across one of not!Danielle's traps. But then they bring the whole thing up about the sickness. This just pisses me off. Wouldn't it simply be a natural progression for Claire to grow protective of herself (and learn how to do so effectively) if she had been abandoned and alone on that island for three years? Why does she have to be infected to do so? Am I to believe that that's not Claire anymore? Because if so, I am NOT HAPPY.

Oh God, I hope it's still Claire. At least, I think it is. I don't trust The Pirate King and his "it happened to your sister" stuff. (Of course, I didn't watch season 5. Only read some reviews of episodes, so I don't now if they explained this sickness thing going on on the island. did they?) I swear, if they go with something like possession or "this is not Claire at all" I will just dump this show. For frak's sake. I CAN DO IT. On the other hand, I will be ok with the possibility that it was natural progresion of her character to take care of herself but somehow somewhere something caused her to go darker and darker. I don't know if this makes sense. What I mean is... I hope that Claire learned to take care of herself on her own terms. And if this sickness/claiming/possessions bullshit is true, I would like it to be connected only to the fact that, for example, she had no problem with killing two people, as we saw in last ep. Like, this sickness happened to her after a year or two, you know, after living some time alone and survivng. But, obviously, the most awesome scenario I can imagine is the one in which nothing supernatural happens. It's only Claire who was left alone on the island. I'm all for crazy!Claire or evil!Claire or badass!Claire. I really hope they won't screw it up. Really really.

I want to believe it's still Claire, but if I take it at face value, and what he told Jack, then it's not Claire. So for the time being, I'm pissed at even the idea of that.

I wish all that you say is right -- about Claire learning to take care of herself on her own terms. I just don't know if I trust this show enough to believe it.
