apocalypsosTHAT WAS REALLY FUCKING WRONG. In fact, as punishment, I think that fandom deserves half of everything that JJ Abrams owns, including one of the J's.
And now we have to wait until January?! *sigh* Okay, did I miss the warning that comes at the beginning of every episode that says, "In the first five minutes of viewing this episode, your immediate vicinity will magically freeze and a teleporting scientist will pump you full of crack until you're incredibly addicted to this show"? Because I'm pretty sure my VCR keeps cutting that part of every episode off on my tape.
Anyway, in other news, Boone running an offshoot of his mother's "Martha Stewart of weddings" company is so obviously a setup for a Jack/Boone wedding fic, I'm amazed no one's pounded it out already. Where have all the slashers gone, people?
Then again, in other Boone news ... "They teach you how to predict the weather at a box company"? Boone, darling, I know it's humid there, but I also know that if Locke's anything like me, he can smell rain coming a mile away, especially if it's that heavy kind of downpour that hit right after he predicted it. That's not hard to catch if you know that smell.
Oh, and now Kate's a tracker? Lovely. *eye roll* Although I couldn't help but think that a thousand slashers sighed unhappily when Boone didn't suddenly display tracking abilities and go off with Jack. Hee.
Walt's a little punk who's really starting to get on my nerves. Seriously, what the hell? The thing about having another dad, though ... that explains a lot. Or a little. Hell, I don't know anymore.
Have I said lately how much I love Hurley? 'Cause, seriously, the love knows no bounds. He was seventeenth in a tournament, don't ya know. *nods knowingly*
Also, Sawyer. Who needs lots of sex immediately, except not by Kate because she's covered in Mary Sue skank. Oddly enough, I am not covered by Mary Sue stank, but alas, I'm not living on a desert island in a fictional world. I shall remedy that posthaste. :)
EDIT: You know, I know the whole pounding on Charlie's chest until he breathed again thing is unrealistic, but let's remember this is the same island that made Locke walk again. Who said Jack was the one who saved him? ;) *saunters off whistling as thousand of plotbunnies attack*
CASTAWAY OF EDIT: Tonight, I described my obsession with Lost by saying, "I have no idea what the fuck is going on, nothing makes any goddamn sense, and yet I can't stop watching." Which sounds about right, doesn't it? :) (It also makes it sound like a serious traffic accident between two rubber chicken trucks driven by sentient squids, but whatever.)

I like that Kate's not always likable. Real people are supremely bitchy and self-important sometimes. Not always, sometimes. It's a healthy quality in a character.
no subject
Date: 2004-12-08 09:18 pm (UTC)I would like Kate if she were not always likable, but to me she's not ever likable. No, wait ... I take that back. I like her hair and I like her complexion, both of which belong to Evangeline. It's just ... she doesn't interest me at all. Hell, Boone interests me more than she does, and so far all he's done is act like a perky little puppy and try waaaaaaaay too hard. (Although he loses points for not knowing Kirk and Spock's names, but he'd already gained those points from even knowing the "red shirt" reference.)

Date: 2004-12-09 05:00 am (UTC)I was also watching this with friends who really didn't care too much about it, it was on only because Smallville was a rerun and I had control of the remote. I'm going to have to read the TwoP recap when it comes up and then read the cleolinda one for balance. ^_^

Date: 2004-12-09 05:50 am (UTC)I still say they can kill off Kate, though. They can keep Jack, though, because they need a doctor and if he needs to get laid, he always has Boone and his pretty, pretty eyes to fall back on. ;)

Date: 2004-12-09 09:40 am (UTC)ME: I love Sawyer. And Charlie. Nothing had better goddamn happen to Charlie, or I'll have to gnaw on people, so naturally they're going to kill him.
BROTHER: *disbelieving snort* They wouldn't!
DAD: Yeah, he's too popular.
ME: That's why they'll do it! People will spontaneously combust. Massive publicity. Besides, everybody I likes gets offed, so it's just a matter of time.
BROTHER: Yeah, whatever.
So I spent the entire Charlie pinata incident alternately yelling "OH NO THEY DIDN'T" and "OMG I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO". Only with less swearing, because my dad's blood pressure is high enough.
Still, crisis averted for Charlie--they almost killed him, but then they brought him back, so they got their fans to squeal and hopefully they'll leave it at that. So, uh, now I have to start burning candles for Sawyer.
(For the record, if they off him--I CALLED IT FIRST, and god I hate myself for it.)

DAMN YOU JJ!!! I can't wait till January!! ARGH.

Date: 2004-12-09 05:14 am (UTC)And the thing about the show is that what we see does make sense. Mostly. There's just a LOT of questions. I understand what's happening at the moment, even the past ones as they come up, just a number of "Bwah? How?" type things...
I haven't really minded Kate's Marysueness so far, and don't even really register, since they at least keep throwing plausibility of a sort behind it.
Now, Sydney on Alias? Mary Sue. ;) But I love her anyways.

See? I already got one! HAHAHA!

Date: 2004-12-09 05:45 am (UTC)Maybe I'd be more bothered if I just hadn't encountered a bigger Mary Sue Skank. See the fantasy novel 'Theif Of Lives'. Crazy Mary-Sue in that book has the wobblies because she thinks her red and black hair will attract too much attention. Never mind that she's known for a hundred miles for killing vampires in public and hanging out with an elf and a Huge, Yet Lovable Doggy.

Best typo ever. Especially with her new 'I have boobs' shirt.

Date: 2004-12-09 10:33 am (UTC)I hadn't thought of that myself. That's actually a good point that could possibly explain a lot. Or not. I really wish the writer's would do this thing called writing...
