fun_like_that*wibble!foams*
*head explodes from the awesomeness*
*runs around, headless and wibble!foaming*
Now that I have that out of my system
Oh my freaking god that was the best episode yet!
Now, first off, if you aren't watching this show- WHY THE HELL NOT! I should be beating and shocking you as Danielle did to Sayid. Poor, poor Sayid. Off on his own, trying to find his way out of the mess he's found himself in and then BAM! Crazy!french lady makes her move and gets him like a freaking stuffed pig! And yes, I know that made like, no sense. BUT I DON'T CARE! Cause Danielle is craaaaaazy.
This episode was amazing. It brought about so many new questions about the island, stuff that hasn't really been addressed since the first couple eps. And it's going to create so many new theories, cracked and otherwise, all of which will probably turn out to be wrong but what the hell?
I thought the golf course was a nice touch. I love Hurley. And the way Charlie tried to teach him how to play golf. Oh, sweet sweet slash. How I'll love you yet likely avoid you when you appear on my flist because I've been turned off Charlie/Hurley slash, despite their fun-ness.
Also, how awesome was Sawyer this week? We saw so little of everyone from the caves/beach but it was nice, what we did see. Sawyer was cute and all joining-in guy, he interacted with Kate, Jack gained slight personality... Well, that might be stretching it. Maybe he's just wearing glossier cardboard this ep. *squints* Whatever. Either way, he's golfing and not being all hero-guy so he's not as annoying. He did give Hurley initial slack for making the golf course. So, minus 10 points. But then he admitted that even though he was the one trying to make everyone physically well, Hurley succeeded in making everyone emotionally and mentally well. So, plus 15 points, cause that takes a man. But, then again, he is Jack. So minus 5 points. He can be even-steven this week.
Kate was wearing the same clothing as last week. And she was in the preview wearing the same clothes again. It'll be about three days later by then. Do the characters have to take turns wearing the same clothes so everyone else can be distracted from everyone else changing? Boone finally got out of that white t-shirt. Thank you Buddha.
*steps away to check torrent for ep*
*sees it*
*jumps on it like a rabid polar bear*
So, back to the golfing. Hurley and Charlie were cute. Jack was somewhat bearable. Michael is obviously being set up for some kind of huge "OMG I'm a horrible father and my son has been kidnapped by a crazy cult leader!" storyline. *blinks* Cult leader? Yeah, I said it. Locke, dude. Some of us in the Fcuk Chat have been bouncing around the cult idea and Locke is so the leader of the whole thing. He's become this major shit disturber of late and it's like he's trying to divide the survivors (ie- last week's flat out blaming of Sawyer for the smacking of Sayid) and he's downright creepy now. At first, when ep 1x03 Tabula Rasa, I think it was, ended with a close-up of his face you were led to think something was coming for him, something was up with him. Then 1x04, Walkabout, came and everyone was all, the island healed him! He can walk again! He's great! But now he's back to the freaky music and creepy close-ups and the feeling that shit's coming down. *puts on shit hat*
The Kate/Jack interaction was par for the course. The golf course! Par! Ha ha! I'm so witty. *ahem* Yeah, so they talked. And shit. And she mentioned how he was smiling for once and he artfully stepped around the fact that she's been in the same clothes for the past two days and staying on the beach where the sun likes to live so she probably needs to stand down wind. He covered the thing about Hurley making everyone happy, where I awarded points. Yeah, I'm jumping all over and repeating things. Don't really care right now cause OMG BEST EPISODE EVAH!
Sawyer/Kate interaction was great. Short and sweet but great. "From one outcast to another." And then "I'll take that bet." Or whatever the fuck it was. We'll find out soon though. *watches torrent go* Either way, they have much more chemistry then stupid Kate/Jack. And a better meshing of the names. Kawyer as opposed to Kack or Jate. WTF?
Anyhoo, so now onto Sayid. It was much less about his backstory then finding out about Danielle and using some of his story to parallel what was going on with the craaaazy!french lady (makes more sense to squish the two names I have for her together. Cause she is craaaaazy and I've been calling her the crazy!french lady for like, a month now). Sayid's story was painful though, and I really liked it. When I heard about this ep and saw the previews I, obviously, didn't know what it would really be like but I was all, yeah, okay, he had to torture some chick and fell in love with her. But, of course, I got whomped with something much sweeter and heart wrenching all at once. The fact that they knew each other before, that he was supposed to shoot her, that he let her go and shot himself (although he was going to blame it on her, so, ya know) and after all that he'd been holding her picture with him with what she wrote. Something about how if he didn't find her in this life he would in the next. Again, we'll find out soon enough. *stares at torrent and chants encouraging things to it softly*
Danielle. Well, what can I say about her? Did anyone else right away think, dude looks like a lady!? Only in reverse. Cause she is a lady. Looking like a dude. Shut up. But seriously, what was up with that? I get that 16 years living basically on your own can fuck with your sense of fashion but holy. Masculine and everything. And craaaaazy. Can't impress that enough on people. I can't say I liked her but I didn't hate her either. And she gave SO MANY FUCKING hints for what's going on but left SO MANY FUCKING questions in her wake. Things she said (might be paraphrased):
- there's no such thing as monsters.
- they were already lost.
- alex was her child.
- the black rock.
- "The others.'
- the whispering.
All of this adds up to one craaaaazy lady and a whole bunch of viewers, intellects and fangirls, rabid and not, all over the world to go- OMGWTFPOLARBEARSCHILDBLACKROCKWHISPERINGLOSTGAH!
I'm of the camp that believes the child, Alex, is as yet to be gendered. She was too craaaazy to possibly interject and point out to Sayid that who he was talking about wasn't a male and at the end she just said that Alex was her child. So it remains to be seen who Alex really is and what kind of role they'll play. And they will. Because it's JJ and he never does anything willy-nilly.
I don't know where I stand on the disease/sickness thing though. I like that everything can be sorted out logically (ie- her line that there's no such thing as monsters) and this will have minimal, if any, connection to the supernatural/bizarre as far as core issues go but I guess I want something more than a disease. Although I'm not sure what is more than a disease. I haven't given much thought to this, obviously, and I'm not the idea/theory person. Unless they're cracked and then I'm SO there. With bells on. And black silk stockings. Ooh la la.
The "they were already lost," line really stood out to me. The whole time I thought that the title to the show and the whole concept was that they were in this island and no one was going to find them so now they're lost but now there's something more to it, imo. I can't and probably won't flesh it out more but that line really rang some bells in my head. Or maybe those are the ones I'm wearing. Whatever.
As far as "the others" and the whispering go, I'm not sure what to think. Someone in the Lost Chat said they thought it was all psychological because Sayid had the idea implanted in his head by the craaaaazy!french lady and he was doped up on the sedative still. But I'm not so sure. It could be psychological and just because of suggestion, or it could be real and perhaps tied to said craaaaazy!french lady to "the others". I do, however, think that the hypochondriac that Jack had to look at did just have the hives. I just think that it's all, perhaps, throwing a bunch of thought-to-be-related things together to throw people off the real track. So get people thinking this is a disease and then they won't see the real thing coming. But again, I'm not the idea-gal. I'm the sit-here-and-wibble!foam-and-oggle-the-hotties-gal.
It's all so much more confusing now and so much cooler all at once. One of the funniest lines was when Hurley was talking about all the shit they have to face on the island and that he started the golf course to get away from it all and mentioned the polar bear. Michael had no idea about it and Charlie looked at him, "You didn't hear about the polar bear?" Which made me laugh really hard when I saw the clip last night on yahoo and tonight. I had actually been wondering of late why the polar bear hadn't sparked more conversation and who actually knew about it, if people still didn't know about the craaaazy!french lady's transmission. Now when the next ep airs we get to see how much Sayid will tell everyone. provided he actually goes back to everyone. I can't remember the preview right now.
Speaking of the next ep, we don't get to see it for TWO WHOLE WEEKS. Want to know why? Cause of the Bachelor. That over-hyped, tired and annoying reality show that takes some hack, asshole, retarded, pretty-boy and gets him to pick some air-headed, plasticine, pumped up Barbie-wannabe to marry. We all know how it will end. Three months from now it'll come out that they've broken up because of whatever reason (he's an asshole, she felt pressured to say yes, one of them turns out to be a serial killer) and then all any of us will remember about them is that he had bad hair and was a total sexist pig and she was a bimbo who was out for money and a Playboy centrefold. It's SWEEPS abc! Get some brains and put on the show people ACTUALLY want to see.
Speaking of what people want to see, it's come out that in January (starting the 5th, I believe) Alias is moving to Wednesdays after Lost! *Wibble!foams all over the place* JJ Wednesday! I'm so jazzed! If you haven't watched Alias yet, please start getting caught up now so you can jump in with s4. It's a great show with lots of twists and turns and action. It's like Lost only in a spy-setting. Very gripping stuff.
Whew. I think I'm done. I hope to hell I'm done cause that's alot of stuff I just blathered on about. Long story short? BEST. SHOW. EVAH!
*head explodes from the awesomeness*

Date: 2004-11-18 05:14 am (UTC)It's late, but you've inspired me to respond to some of it.
I thought the golf course was a nice touch. I love Hurley. And the way Charlie tried to teach him how to play golf. Oh, sweet sweet slash. How I'll love you yet likely avoid you when you appear on my flist because I've been turned off Charlie/Hurley slash, despite their fun-ness.
Yes. Ditto. I *heart* Hurley and Charley, but slash? No way! Loved the golf course, not the least because finally something wasn't freakin' Jack's idea!
But, of course, I got whomped with something much sweeter and heart wrenching all at once.
Exactly! It was very angsty and touching. I really got a lump in my throat. It did what a back-story ought to do: made us understand him a little better and showed us another side to him.
Agree with you about the "child." I thought it was very odd that she called Alex her "child." I have kids and I refer to them as "my son" or "my daughter." Of cousre, she is the craaaazy!french lady (lol) so who knows what she was talking about? Maybe the shriveled up corpses in the cave. *shudder*
Oh, and I also loved what little we saw of Sawyer. I'm glad he joined in at the end. When Jack was about to swing the golfclub, I was dreading it because I thought for sure it'd be a hole in one. More Mr. Perfect. When Sawyer turned up - what a pleasant surprise!
The "they were already lost," line really stood out to me. The whole time I thought that the title to the show and the whole concept was that they were in this island and no one was going to find them so now they're lost but now there's something more to it, imo. I can't and probably won't flesh it out more but that line really rang some bells in my head. Or maybe those are the ones I'm wearing. Whatever.
Oh, yeah! I had the exact same feeling. "Lost" took on a whole new meaning, didn't it? Very intriguing. If you're nuts, then so am I. ;-)
