→ Breakfast at the Shephard household is my favorite thing ever. Until we get interrupted by another phone call of course. Whatever. It was cute how both Jack and David were all chivalrous and whatnot when Claire came into the room. And she was adorable and sleepy.

→ Richard stayed behind to bury Alex! That's was sad and sweet and unexpected. ♥ Thank you show for that teeny bit of trivia.

→ Who won that promo contest I wonder? Anyone I know? Haha.

→ I was pretty pissed about Ben killing Widmore over his misplaced anger at him for Alex. I have always and will continue to always blame Ben for Alex's death. No, he did not kill her but he had an opportunity to save her and he didn't. For the last time, shut up, Ben!

→ Why did we not see Claire on the island? This bothers me.

→ So Richard, His Immortal Hotness gets the suckiest on screen death ever? I am displeased. Plus, I thought he couldn't die? Or is that deal no longer valid since Richard doubted? Or since Jacob died? Who knows. [The answer could possibly be in one of the 5 episodes I still haven't caught up on.]

→ I hope Claire is at this damn concert -- and then she goes into labor, while stuck in an elevator, with KATE! No seriously, I'm just kidding. I know we have all had it up to "here" with birth scenes. But how much you wanna bet that we see baby Aaron being born a second time? Hahahah.

→ I liked Jacob telling Kate that he scratched her name off because she became a mother -- but that she could still have the job if she wanted. I don't know why but that made me happy.

→ I was also kind of disappointed that after being so emotional Kate totally accepted Jacob's BULLSHIT reason why all her friends died.

→ I was kind of pissed that Jack and Sawyer didn't fight over who got to take Jacob's place. However, I was actually ready for all four of them to stand up. It would have been nice to get a sense of group unity after six fucking years. No go, though.

→ I like Ana Lucia.

→ Why does everyone think sideshow Desmond is not awesome? Cause I think he's kind of awesome. He's the only thing making this shit interesting.

→ Ben and Danielle? OMG HOW MUCH DO I NOT CARE? Especially after what he did to them in the island 'verse? PLEASE. Someone needs to stab him in the fucking neck.

→ So could give a shit about the island light or why Esau needs Desmond or any of that shit. I just want to see how this ends for the people I still actually care about.

→ Kate and Sayid in the back of the prison truck with Desmond were adorable. Surrrre, we promise. Hee!

→ Again, WTF RICHARD?


*WHOOPS! Sorry about the tag mix-up. I forgot to type the hyphen. *headdesk* I think I got to it in time though. As soon as I saw it I fixed it. Saved it. And then came back to type this. Hopefully no one saw that who hadn't already seen the show.

I'd watched the ep, so it's okay. It's actually the first ep I've seen since... I don't remember when, haha. Mostly I am only interested in what happens to Desmond. And Kate and Sawyer. In the Sideways World. The Island is too WTF for me to care about it anymore.

Oh good. I hope no one else saw.

Yeah I pretty much just care about the people and not the island mythos. That's been one huge disappointment after another.

Thanks Trey! Wow it's been a long time since I've seen you around here! How is school?

I'm excited and sad too. I can't believe it's on Sunday!

I watched last week's episode today on the DVR right before. I was um... underwhelmed with the episode. But I think that's an understatement. It felt like a bullshit explanation for Jacob and the island and Esau [Not!Locke] and their feud and all that. And Adam&Eve! I was kind of hoping it would be some characters we actually care about or that would make us go "oh, of course!" or "oh, how sad!" Instead of... well, "meh."

So you just saved me the trouble of having to try and put my thoughts about this episode into words. Because those words are right here! Exactly the way I was thinking them!
Thank you ;)

No I haven't vidded in a while. The last two vids I made were tiny vidlets intended to help me get back into vidding. Didn't really work.

Gosh I watch so much TV.

Of the new shows out, I like Life Unexpected, Parenthood, Community, Modern Family, and the mini-series The Pacific [a WWII series]. You might like that actually. You should check it out.

OH OH! I started watching Sons of Anarchy! You should watch it! HERE (http://crickets.livejournal.com/329853.html) <-- go to that link. And see for yourself. :)

YES, THIS.

This sudden need to preserve the light of the world is making my brain hurt. Stupid, writers.

But the Shephard family breakfast was adorable. :D

Ben and Danielle? OMG HOW MUCH DO I NOT CARE? Especially after what he did to them in the island 'verse? PLEASE. Someone needs to stab him in the fucking neck.

In a season full of literal and figurative slaps to the face, this was the worst insult of all time.

I was pretty pissed about Ben killing Widmore over his misplaced anger at him for Alex. I have always and will continue to always blame Ben for Alex's death. No, he did not kill her but he had an opportunity to save her and he didn't. For the last time, shut up, Ben!

I know. Not to mention Ben has a lot more to atone for than killing Alex.

Richard stayed behind to bury Alex! That's was sad and sweet and unexpected. ♥ Thank you show for that teeny bit of trivia.

This was the one redeeming moment of Richard's S6 arc for me.

No Richard, His Immortal Hotness gets the suckiest on screen death ever? I am displeased. Plus, I thought he couldn't die? Or is that deal no longer valid since Richard doubted? Or since Jacob died? Who knows. [The answer could possibly be in one of the 5 episodes I still haven't caught up on.]

When Arzt's death gets more screentime than Richard's, there's a problem. One can assume Jacob's death made Richard mortal again. Then again Jacob looked pretty damn corporal tonight.

I have no opinions about the episode. Its a strange feeling to watch a Lost episode and just have no feelings about once so ever.

I quit Dexter after season one. I liked season one I just didn't have much interest in seeing where it went from there.

It's supposed to make this all MEAN SOMETHING really important but all it does is just piss me off to be honest.

I loved the Shephard family breakfast.

WORD x 1000.

This was the one redeeming moment of Richard's S6 arc for me.

Sad that this awesome character was reduced to smoke monster fodder. I don't get why, since Jacob died, that someone has to replace him. Apparently Esau's been dead for centuries and that's not stopping him!

I thought you'd at least have something to say about Jack taking his hero's place on the throne of eternal light or whatever the fuck.

I liked Jacob telling Kate that he scratched her name off because she became a mother -- but that she could still have the job if she wanted. I don't know why but that made me happy.
Same here. I smiled. When Kate got shot a couple weeks ago, I was all of a sudden worried about her safety and who was gonna get her on/off the sub and who was attending to her wound, which led me to the revelation that I give a damn, which means I must like Kate again. Dammit.

I was actually ready for all four of them to stand up. It would have been nice to get a sense of group unity after six fucking years.
I liked Hurley saying he was glad it wasn't him, but I really wanted Sawyer to say "me too." Don't know why.

And I like sideways Des. He's got a plan and a purpose, and he seems to be having fun with it?

There hasn't been any explanation given of Richard suddenly no longer being immortal. He'd outlived his usefulness to TPTB, so... Kinda wacky.

I like crazy!sideways!Desmond. He is both bizarrely random and exceedingly hot.

I was just relieved Jack manned up and it finally got settled. As if we haven't known for years that Jack was gonna be the one left behind to look after the island.

Nah, it isn't. Or at least, if it is, I didn't get it. ;)

how much you wanna bet that we see baby Aaron being born a second time? Hahahah.

At this point I'm pretty sure it's happening, but I guess I can take it as long as it doesn't happen while Boone dies again. ;) You know. It was hard enough once.

I'd have liked the four of them to stand, too, but... eeh. It was hoping too much, I guess.

Sideways Desmond is awesome... but at the same time he's creeeeepy. °__° Hell, he creeps me out more than alt!Ben does.

Kate and Sayid in the back of the prison truck with Desmond were adorable. Surrrre, we promise. Hee!

That was kind of awesome. :D RICHARD WTF INDEED.

I don't think Richard's dead though. Everything I've seen says he just got thrown offscreen. Here's hoping he comes back in the finale to be awesome.

I think sideshow Desmond is awesome! And lack of Claire on the island also bothers me. Hope she's ok.

what I didn't understand, Sun became a mother, was her name scratched off and if it was, why make her go back to the island.

and I LOVED LOVED LOVED that richard buried Alex, what I didn't like was Ben's reaction to it..or him killing Widmore.

Richard, another dynamic character killed off cheaply, wtf writers, you couldn't even make him see Isabella when he was finally going to be with her?

I never held the contempt for Kate that many did. Didn't always love her, but since last season she's one of the only characters that makes a whole lot of sense to me.

I told someone else he's like a terminator or something:
I'm ready for him to stay, "come with me if you want to live."

Date: 2010-05-19 11:35 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com
Okay well some people seem to be thinking [hoping?] that he's not really dead. I will have to cross my fingers and hope that we see him in the finale as well!

Hahaha, sideshow Desmond has pretty much single-handedly made the sideshow interesting. So go him.

Date: 2010-05-19 11:37 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com
Well I'm glad of that, then. Maybe he's still alive!

Yeah it didn't occur to me until this last episode that at this point, Claire is BOUND to give birth sometime during that 2.5 hr finale. It's just inevitable.

I don't know why he doesn't creep me out. Maybe it's because I feel like Desmond is a good person and I trust him. Whereas with Ben... well even just generally speaking he's just downright creepy and untrustworthy.

It was cute. Kind of made me wonder where all the Kate/Sayid shippers went. lol.

I think that's what a lot of fans are hoping for -- there's a possibility he survived that, being as far as we know, immortal and impervious to mortal harm. But seeing as he tried to go back on his deal with Jacob, and that Jacob is now technically dead, I honestly wouldn't put it past the writers to end one of their most interesting characters in such a mundane way. I guess we'll see Sunday!

Date: 2010-05-19 11:43 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com
I'm glad I'm not the only one. On both counts!

I've got a theory that she's the one who helped Desmond get out.

Yeah I believe they have mentioned even in the show that the Kwon could have either been Jin or Sun. And perhaps the favor he was currying was in relation to the person who was literally taking care of the child. [Since Aaron is not really Kate's son.]

I loved that too. It's definitely one of my favorite little details we've gotten from the writers. And there aren't many of those that I like, lol.

Well apparently half of fandom is crossing their fingers that he's not dead, so I guess we'll all have to wait until Sunday to see. If that was indeed his death, I would have liked for it to be slightly more heroic and less "for nothing." And I would have liked for him to have a moment where he accepts what's coming to him because lord knows he's been evading death for so long. Finally realizing he's going to die and the time is now SHOULD be an intense moment... [unless you're Lost, and then you just whoosh the character away in less than a second.]
