fun_like_thatUm... right. Getting right to it.
So yeah, starting right off with the fugly baby again. W00t. I hope it gets eaten. Mmm. Babies. Yum.
Everyone's freaking out on the beach, trying to pack up and move to the caves and Claire and fugly baby are no different. Except she hasn't slept and she's tired and she's never raised a baby and whine whine whine. So you're on a deserted island with basically no medical care, no proper baby food, no diapers, no good means of support. Look on the bright side- at least you have both arms!
I love Hurley. Hurley rocked the kasbah this ep, hardcore. On the "Black Rock": "How exactly does this happen?" Danielle: "Are you on the same island I am?" Craaaazy!french lady made a funny! That's nice.
Artz is having issues however. He wants to be involved and help out with the dynamite and crap and yet he can't get past his crippling fear and total asshattery. But he was right about the "clique" that's happening on the island. Guess that happens when you're not one of the dozen main cast members. Maybe next series, dude. But at least you're getting SAG points, eh? Speaking role, yay!
Jack's having issues too. Danielle did say she would take them to the dynamite at the Black Rock. She didn't say anything about helping them out or risking her own life for them. So... sorry Jack, you lose. Weiner.
Mmm. Skeleton. And there's another Africa reference. Nigeria first, with the drug runners and now... one of the other countries that I forget. But still. Africa. I just want some clarification- the plane crashed somewhere around Australia. Where was the ship going? If it was to Australia, wasn't that a place that prisoners were sent from England until it was colonised? Like, that was the first colonisation ever there? I don't know much about history in that part of the world. If they weren't going there, where WERE they going? For some reason I have it in my head that they were going to America, but now that I think about it I might be confusing that with something else, which is neither here nor there so it doesn't matter. Moving on.
Blah blah blah, Jack tries to be a manly man. *deep manly voice* "I'LL take the dynamite, little lady. Ha ha ha." And Kate's all- bitch, please. But Artz shows him when he and Locke bring the box out, doesn't he? All preachy and yelly and bothered by the unstableness of the dynamite. "Don't do that!" "Careful, careful!" "GENTLE!" And then with the demanding on Kate's shirt and the soaking of Kate's shirt and the wrapping of Kate's shirt around a particularly crusty-looking stick of TNT.
And then the KABLAMMY of Kate's shirt, along with Artz. Oh, science teacher. We barely knew ye. And if we did, we'd probably have been annoyed to shit by your bitterness. Get over your need to be accepted by the PE teachers and get laid, dude. Oh wait, you can't. You're kind of dead now. But he was all angry and insulting to Jack, so he gained a few points before expiration.
Flashback to the airport with Jin and Sun. While Sun was overhearing the ignorant english-speaking couple in the airport foodcourt, Jin was getting talked up in the bathroom by a henchman of his father-in-law's. Seems like the watch was some sort of gift for someone in Cali. What's the significance of the watch? Why couldn't it have been mailed? Who was it going to? Did the FiL just want to provide that personal touch? Whatever, he figured he was screwed cause the guy knew he was planning on running away with Sun.
Which makes one wonder why he was so eager to get on the ship and get back to civilisation. Would he still have run away? Would he have gone back to Sun's dad? He gave the watch to Michael which was SO AMAZINGLY SWEET AND OMG MICHAEL+JIN FRIENDSHIP= SO FUN! So he's... *shrugs* Who knows, they're out in the middle of the ocean.
Oooh. Pirate!hair Sawyer. He's hot there. Black shirt, tanned body, pulled back hair... mmmm. Lovely.
I've come to really like Shannon. I didn't think much of her in general back when she was first presented to us. Clearly she couldn't have stayed a priss forever so of course she was going to change. She's just so unsettled from Boone's death, haggard and lonely and totally on her own. I really liked this scene between her and Sayid and him helping her to move Boone's things. Sweet.
Locke to Jack: "You ever play Operation." Right. Locke's a weirdo.
So did Danielle really attack Claire that night she woke up screaming? If so, wouldn't the "scratches", if that's what they were, have healed even a LITTLE by now? Also, why wouldn't she have tried to take the baby before this? At least if she had tried before she warned them of "the others" coming they wouldn't have been on the defensive, eh? It just doesn't seem that realistic. If Danielle WAS the one to attack her, if she DID attack her, she was ready to rip the baby out of Claire's belly. So why wait so long after the baby was born to snatch it? Just doesn't seem to make much sense, I guess. But if it WAS her (and thinking back to the marks on Ethan's cheek, it could be possible) then... *shrugs* Weird, continuity issue? Those marks just didn't look like scratches to me.
Charlie went home with a freaking crazy amazon woman or something, eh? Whatever. Charlie's a moron. Moron, moron, moron. Doot doot doot. Punching Sayid seemed so much more dramatic on the promo. Like- what's the point in that? Seriously, Charlie. Ugh.
Hurley is amazing in this ep. "You've got some... Arnst on you." *LOVES SO MUCH*
You know, Kate and Jack might actually be perfect for each other. Cause they're both all high and mighty about sacrificing themselves and being leaders and shit. Jack cause he's got some sort of God complex or a swelled hear over being leader or whatever and Kate because she feels the need to atone for her "sin" of getting her old childhood love "killed". Whatever. But I actually do like Kate, even if her plane plotpoint was one of the dumbest things ever.
The Sawyer and Walt scene was so funny. Sawyer reading the letters from everyone and Walt being all, you're so dumb, man. Sawyer: "So and so's shacking up with Scott." Walt: "That's Steve. Scott's dead." Sawyer: "Whatever." Also, "Who the hell is Hugo?" Oh Sawyer, you so funny.
Sayid on Danielle: "Don't try to apply reason to her actions." No shit, Sherlock.
And Claire's finally named the baby. Aaron. Ugh. I don't know why I dislike that name. Just... from her, I do. Whatever.
Walt and Michael. I feel bad for Michael but clearly the experience they've had on the island has brought them closer together. Depending on how things go next season they might get closer. Who knows. If Walt/Michael survive, that is. Eep!
Mmm. Shirtless, wet Sawyer. I want me some more of that. And now Michael has seen the gun but Sawyer saved the rudder so... even steven?
More Hurley funny: "Like that security system that eats people."
Huh. Who'd have thought Sun would be the one to bring the bummer into the caves? Shannon is already depressed enough, coming back to the place where her brother died and then Sun's all- yeah, so are we being punished or something? Is this how we're going to repay whatever shit thing we did in our lives? And then Claire chimes in with, there's no fate. We're all just fucked. Or something equivalent to that.
Charlie and Sayid rest at the plane with the heroin. We all know where this is going right? Of COURSE Sayid casually mentions that the guys on the plane were drug runners and it just HAPPENED to be heroin. And of COURSE at the end of the ep we caught a glimpse of one of those tacky Mary statues peeking out of Charlie's bag. What else could POSSIBLY happen? *snort*
But then it's fun because Charlie gets hit with some rocks (ROCK FALLS, CHARLIE DIES! *hoped against hope*) and Sayid poured gun powder and lit it. Mmm. The sweet sounds of a wee, drug addicted hobbit screaming. Brings cheer to the heart, doesn't it? And yes, I AM insane.
I've never heard a bird make that noise. Never seen an invisible monster, either, so I guess there's a first time for everything. Also- wtf? Is the "monster" a ghost? Mist? The Black Plague? Was that the 2-5% Entertainment Weekly said we'd get to see? If that IS only 2-5% what can the rest of it be? Is it all the smog from Los Angeles partying on the beach or what? *confused* I'm not sure how to react to this. I thought it was pretty damn cool at the time and, really, it was but at the same time I can't help but worry that this is some kind of lame cop-out. I hope it isn't. I'm having hope that it's just the tip of the ice berg and all will be revealed in time. But in a timely manner. If that makes ANY sense. :|
This whole scene was rather fun though. I like it when there's no warning when something's coming. In horror movies and stuff you can tell by the music and then you know when to hide your eyes so you don't jump but here there was nothing, it just came out of nowhere and that was cool! And Locke was afraid of whatever he saw. So now he's seen it twice. Also, it makes me wonder if he HAS been in the hatch just because he told Jack to let him go when he was going to be sucked down that hole into the ground. How did he know he would be alright unless he's been down there? Or he has a habit of surviving drops into god knows where. So yeah. That was a little weird. What dragged him down there, anyway? I thought it was a vine or something, so was it a trap? Or was it a tentacle from the monster or something? Who knows?
Also, Kate supposedly had the dynamite and was instructed to be careful with it and drop the pack and run at any sign of danger. Big, fucking flashing sign screaming "WARNING, WARNING, MONSTER AHEAD" and she's jaunting through the jungle with dynamite strapped to her back. Smooth, Kate. Smooth. Jack's just like buttah later when Locke instructs him to stay a little bit behind and he's all, "We blow up, we blow up." In retrospect, I guess this is him trying to challenge Locke's "authority" but still, way to be a jackass, Jackass.
I did feel bad for Locke during the flashback and he was so helpless. Which YES, does give us some perspective on why he's so.... the way he is, but still. From helpless to creepy in like 9 seconds. Also, Jack, there's already a "Locke problem". You don't need to blow up the hatch to see that.
Bravo, Charlie. Call the craaaazy!french lady with a rifle a nutjob. Brilliant, aren't you?
So the raft picked up a signal and the boat saw the flare. Great. The guy they talked to? Looked like some back woods hick from up home or something. Weeeeeird guy. Very creepy. And then it only got creepier when he said, "We have to take the boy." Right then I was all- oh god. I expected something a little creepier for this scene but Michael screaming Walt's name from the water as the boat drove away was quite heart-breaking, especially with the dramatic music rising. And Jin's in the water searching for Sawyer who was shot! It looked like he was shot in the arm, which is okay, I guess, but now they have to find themselves (the three of them) and get back to shore. Um... right. Have a fun summer, guys.
So did "the others" want Turniphead at all? Or were they after Walt the whole time? It would explain why they weren't at the fire when Sayid and Charlie showed up (but not why there weren't any footprints) but there must be more "others" than the three or four on that boat. Also, they were all men so... yeah. Maybe Alex is their Queen Bee? Who knows? So if they WERE after Walt the whole time... why? Is it because he might have some sort of weird powers (which I still don't buy)? Is it because they need to repopulate their society? Is it because they.... anything?
I really liked the final montage. Tying all the characters together on the plane, showing where they were and how they noticed each other before they HAD to notice each other. And Hurley was reading the polar bear comic that Walt read! That's awesome! So... did Hurley bring the polar bears cause he's bad luck or did he just bring the comic and Walt brought the bears with his "special powers"? Or is it all just a weird coincidence?
And of course, the final scene was of the hatch with the door getting blown off, and Jack and Locke looking down inside, the camera panning back to show a long tunnel with a ladder running down the side.
So what does this all mean? It means that it's a little frustrating that we really didn't get anything answered this season and that we'll tune in next season to see if anything gets answered but then they'll be able to drag out these storylines for another possible 22+ eps. Which kind of sucks and they have the potential to lose viewers that way. People get upset when you just lead them on for a gazillion years.
I want to know about the polar bears. About "the others", Danielle (how long she's been on the island for real, who she is, where she's from, what she's doing there, who Alex is), the "monster", Locke's connection to everything, what he saw those two times he saw "the monster"... the list goes on and on, of course. I want to know where Jack's wife went and what Kate did to alienate her family and make her a wanted woman before she "killed" her "one true love". Hurley and why he was in the mental facility to begin with.
I'm not overly worried about Jin, Michael and Sawyer cause that's just one of those- OMG WILL THEY LIVE?! cliffhangers that ALWAYS makes people freak out. I doubt anyone will die for the next ep. Charlie will go back on heroin and start going insane and no one will trust him again and blah blah blah.
So... yeah. What to make of the second half of the finale. I liked the first part (last week) better, I think. It had more suspense and the appearance of "the others" hanging over this ep. I'm disappointed that they really didn't come through for any of that. They didn't get very far plot-wise, so that sucks. No one important died, no great revelations were made about any of the characters...
But I continue to have faith, hanging on till the bitter end. I mean, I'm still watching Alias (sort of) right? And at least with Lost JJ isn't THE head-honcho. There's a few other people behind the scenes running things. So... I hope against hope that we will see some results early next season.
This show kicks ass either way. I will continue believing.
Alias finale. Um... I like zombies. Um... right. Zombies good. Erm.... oh fuck it. Zombies. Yay. Everything else? Rather boring. I don't even know what's going on anymore. Go big or go home. Go camp or go home. Kill Vaughn or go home. DO SOMETHING! AND SOON! Fucking ratings be damned. I liked this show a hell of a lot better when it was a cult hit and few people could actually follow the convolutedness. Now that your other show didn't get picked up, JJ, work on getting Alias back to... something other than this, kthxbi.
In other news work was okay tonight, although one of my friends had her last shift so I was a little teary through the whole shift. I had to go to the back room at one point to collect myself and the manager came back. She was all, "Oh, what's wrong." And I said that I had been outside with my friend and she was leaving so I was upset. Then the manager went to my friend and was all, "What were you two doing outside?" And my friend said, "I was having a cigarette and she was with me." "You weren't doing something else were you?" She was thinking of my red eyes and thought we were smoking up. Outside the mall. On the steps of Chapters. Um... right.
And then I went midnight grocery shopping with another friend and it was a lot of fun. I enjoy this shopping when no one else is around. No old people to dodge, no babies to run away from... wonderful. It's also been so long since I've really gone shopping with someone that it's a nice change. Having someone to talk to, instead of seething inside as that stupid woman with the ugly hair parks her cart in the middle of the aisle makes it impossible for anyone to get around. Good times all around.
So Queer as Folk for the rest of the summer- well, till August and then... a fandom-free month? Ugh. What a concept. How do people live like that? :P
So yeah, starting right off with the fugly baby again. W00t. I hope it gets eaten. Mmm. Babies. Yum.

And then I went midnight grocery shopping with another friend and it was a lot of fun. I enjoy this shopping when no one else is around. No old people to dodge, no babies to run away from... wonderful. It's also been so long since I've really gone shopping with someone that it's a nice change. Having someone to talk to, instead of seething inside as that stupid woman with the ugly hair parks her cart in the middle of the aisle makes it impossible for anyone to get around. Good times all around.
So Queer as Folk for the rest of the summer- well, till August and then... a fandom-free month? Ugh. What a concept. How do people live like that? :P
