LOST thoughts and a small update
So I did a small(ish) friends-cut yesterday. Cuts are not fun on either end and I hate doing them but I like to actually get to know the people on my list. And sometimes we have a lot in common on paper but for whatever reason, we just don’t make it past pleasantries. I’m sorry if I upset anyone but I just think it’s kinda silly to keep people I rarely talk to. That said, this’ll be the last cut for a while, as I think I’ve assembled a pretty wonderful list of friends :D
And now for some initial reactions on Lost 6x06:
* My first thought after this week’s episode was that I wish I loved Sayid as much as I used to. I mean, I still like the guy but he shot a kid. Wee!Ben was creepy as hell but you just don’t shoot kids, dude.
* My second thought: If Benry is fleeing in terror, we’re all pretty much screwed!
* My third thought: If the MiB (a.k.a. Not!Locke/Fake!Locke/Smokey...show, can we please just NAME him already?!) turns out to be nothing more than ‘evil incarnate’, I’m going to be pissed! Personally, I don’t think F!Locke or Jacob is particularly ‘good’ or ‘evil’. It seems like they both have power over death but Jacob uses that power to restore while Not!Locke uses it to destroy. Yet they’re both power-hungry bastards who enjoy screwing with people so I’m not really sure I should be rooting for either one of them.
* Ilana gained major points in this episode by saving Miles (and Sun and Frank...but the points were really for Miles since I thought he might bite it this week!)
* Speaking of: ILU Miles but I wouldn’t call creepy!Claire 'hot'. At least not until she loses the wig-of-doom and takes about 16 showers. She is entertaining, though...in a creepy, might-kill-you-with-an-axe kind of way:)
* Dogen (I have a feeling I’m spelling his name wrong): I kinda figured the baseball was a memento of his son’s and that he’d lost his son in some gods-awful way. That said, his back-story, while sad, just didn’t affect me all that much since we’ve only known him for about 5 seconds. I’d rather Sayid hadn’t murdered him and his hippie side-kick but I can’t say their deaths were all that shocking or upsetting to me.
* But Not!Locke’s reaction to Kate was delicious! He was all ‘DO NOT WANT. DNW...Or do I?...Well, if crazy!Claire doesn’t kill her, I can always use her to distract Jack’ That's F!Locke for you: always thinkin' of how to use other people to his advantage!
* The ending was epically creepy. Probably the creepiest ending in LOST history...which you know is saying a lot!
* But my enjoyment of the episode was slightly hindered because I kept asking ‘where the frak are Sawyer & Jin?!' I’m guessing Not!Locke left Sawyer to look after Jin while he and crazy!Claire took care of some business but if that’s the case...you'd think Jin would be able to talk Sawyer into taking him back to the temple. He probably couldn't go on his own thanks to his injury but I'm sure Sawyer would help his buddy out. Unless Jin has been knocked-out or something...

Haha, your second thought is the truth. That scene made me laugh though.
YES TO THE MIB THING. I've been hoping against all hope that it wouldn't be some evil vs. good thing and if it turns out that way, it's going to be horribly disappointing. My interest is going to get thinner and I'd hate to see that happening so close to the end.
You know, strangely enough the ending was a bit blah for me. I don't know why, but it was exactly what I was expecting and I just went - oh, it's over. Sigh.
no subject
I have faith that the writers realize how ridiculous the whole good vs. evil thing would seem at this point so I imagine it's much more complicated. (Or, that's my hope, anyway)
The ending...If they had used a different audio track, I doubt I would've been so creeped out:) But that use of crazy!Claire singing 'Catch a Falling Star' was just perfect!
