Well, it's probably a good thing that I caught the end of the Lost clip show, because I finally figured out where that cut in Eko's bit of film was. It's in the beginning of the film -- not the part where he talks about not using the computer, but before that. I can't remember exactly what Candle's saying, but I do know there's speaking and his lips aren't moving.

Okay, so tonight's Lost. Can I just keep Eko? I know he's a drug-smuggling Nigerian crime lord, but awesome does not even begin to describe the man. Aw, the poor tortured man protecting his poor priest brother. And confronting the Nothing by giving it the Death Glare of Owning Your Ass! Woohoo! penknife said something about being perfectly happy if X3 turned out to be two hours of Xavier and Magneto playing chess and talking, and I could totally be content with Lost if the rest of the entire series was just Locke and Eko sitting in the hatch talking about stuff and watching the orientation film over and over again.

The flashbacks of his just about killed me. I saw the ending where he got out of it because they thought he was a real priest coming early, but mostly because there had to be a reason he wasn't on the plane. And as soon as they started heading for the plane, I brought up the TWoP recap for Deus Ex Machina for clues. And ... and then "So, are you a priest or aren't you?" and "The Lord is my shepherd" and cut to me sobbing like a freaking baby.

It was weird enough when the Nothing was a big stomping monster, but now that it's ... well, the Nothing, it's just strange. I mean, okay, sentient cloud of smoke that's full of ghosts (although which ones are debatable, since all you could really see were silhouettes), or so goes my theory. I can't decide whether I like that or not.

And you know, Charlie was more likable than he's been all season right up until the point where he had seventy bazillion Holy Heroin(e)s hidden in the jungle. And good for Claire for kicking him out. Maybe he'll learn a little something. (But then again, probably not. That's Charlie for you.)

Yay for Hurley/Libby! They're too cute for words, and it's not even throwing me like it has been that I first knew Cynthia Watros for playing Crazy Annie on Guiding Light and I keep waiting for her to snap and shove a pregnant woman down some stairs.

Daniel's comment about being spot-on all the time regardless of how many challenges you win was perfect. He's turned into my dark horse favorite for the final three -- I expect Santino, Nick, and/or Chloe to be there, but I'm kind of hoping Daniel V. makes the final three. He's calm, he's collected, he's using this as a learning process, and he's the eye candy. ;)

Santino needs to shut it. SHUT IT. GAH.

If Diana and Marla have any common sense, they'll use Diana's model.

Daniel and Andrae make a really good team.

Santino claiming that he can't stand the sound of Diana's voice is kind of amusing, considering no one else can stand the sound of HIS voice.

Marla is so going to drag Diana down with her, poor thing.

Oh, yeah. Daniel and Andrae work very well together and seem to have a good time when they're doing it.

Okay, so maybe Diana will be dragging down Marla.

Heh. I love how Tim Gunn is just totally honest with you to the point of bluntness, but it's in that way where you should learn from it. Tim Gunn is awesome.

Great, now I feel sorry for Kara. Zulema, shut UP. Jesus.

I really think Daniel is going to go over and stab Zulema in the eyes with his straight pins.

Santino's little dance around Andrae would have been amusing if it were, you know, not him.

Um, Chloe and Emmett's outfit is the one I like least. *winces*

Kara and Zulema are using construction paper? Uh ... let's not?

All right, Kara and Zulema's actually turned out really cool, while Santino and Nick's window looked kind of lame. Hmm.

Heidi Klum is just an amazingly gorgeous pregnant woman. I mean, she's amazingly gorgeous anyway, but still.

Daniel and Andrae's dress: Love it. Would wear ir all over the place.
Kara and Zulema: Same.
Marla and Diana: I liked it, but they kept it simple, so that's understandable.
Emmett and Chloe: Yuck. Didn't like it much at all.
Santino and Nick: Lovely dress, but not very Banana Republic. I wouldn't call it forward so much as different, Santino, so shut it.

Oh, yeah, Diana and Marla are going to bite it, aren't they? And I'm sorry, but am I the only one who hates that Emmett-and-Chloe dress? It's a horrible neckline on the jacket, the bow thingy is ugly, and I just don't like the colors at all.

Oh, no, Santino's not going to take Nick down with him, is he? *whimpers*

Emmett standing next to Chloe is the funniest thing all episode.

YAY for Daniel and Andrae! I like them together. :)

Aw, man. As much as I understand why they didn't make it, why don't they just follow up kicking off Diana and Marla by throwing some puppies off a bridge?

Next week: There is more to make fun off in the promo than I could ever make fun of in one sitting. Nick's "I didn't know we were going to meet figure skaters! Honest!" shirt! Santino's hat that's big enough for me to live in! And they're making figure skating costumes, for crying out loud! This should be hilaaaaaarious.

You can't keep Eko. I called dibs already.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Can we time-share?

[ladynaberrie.livejournal.com]

Well of course. We can draw up a schedule.

Tonight I said to my husband "I wish I didn't know what an 'OTP' was, but since I do know, Locke and Eko are my OTP." I caught the last half of the recap show, and every time they showed Locke and Eko saying "...Hello" I burst into the giggles. And I agree that if the entire rest of the show was the two of them talking in looooong stories and riddles and playing backgammon and watching creepy orientation videos and saying "...Hello" I'd watch it, record it, watch it again, and buy the dvds.

Poor Diana. I mean, I knew she wouldn't win, and I knew she wouldn't make it to the top 3 even, but I still want her around.

I want Nick to be my new best friend. I can't wait to see him flip out over the figure skaters.

Does Michael Kors remind you of that SNL sketch with the snooty men's clothing boutique called "Jeffrey's", and how Will Ferrell was the chubby middle-aged fashion buff manager with the electric scooter and the teensy cellphone? I can't take that man seriously.

Yes, thank you! I hated Emmet and Chloe's outfit as well, to the point where everyone's omg!raves had me going, "Buh-huh?" Marla and Diana's suit seemed much nicer.

There is NO SUCH THING as a figure skating outfit that looks good. It's against the rules of the universe, or something. The moment a normal person looks at a figureskater and goes, 'hey, that's not bad', everybody's arms will fall off, and locusts will fall from the sky.

It will be apocalyptothon, but FOR REAL!

I hated Santino and Nick's outfit, actually. The jacket thing was just way, WAY too much.

But at least I like Nick well enough, though it doesn't ease the whole "Nooooo! Diana!" thing. Dang, of all the weeks to eliminate two at once.

Was I the only person who thought the ghosty-smoke sounded like a dot matrix printer?

'Cause... I mean... that's scary, but in a different way than I think they intended. o.O

I really didn't like Emmett and Chloe's either, but I think it was also kind of unflattering on the model (why didn't they use the one who doesn't look like she's going to waste away before your eyes!?). I actually winced when she took of the jacket to turn it inside out. Man, the "night" side of the jacket was SO hideous.

I was so afraid for Nick. But I almost wanted Santino to get kicked off anyway. Just so I wouldn't have to look at/listen to him anymore. Santino has a Myspace, btw. AND he sent a message to a friend of mine who started a hate group for heidi klum. Haha.

Poor Diana. She's so cute. It was so sad cause you could tell she'd been crying when they did her end of the episode closing statement.
