What aunt_zelda Thinks: 'This Place is Death' (Late, sorry sorry sorry!)

[aunt_zelda]

I was a bad fangirl and went to bed early two nights in a row. I don’t regret it.

 

 

 

Previously on Lost: Kate was being menaced by some lawyers. Sun was just plain menacing. Ben and Jack are dating. We left off on a dock somewhere.  Also, Locke is gonna go to the Orchid station to stop the nosebleeds of doom. And Jin LIVES! And he fell in with some French people! Did I mention that Jin IS ALIVE?!

 

 

Sun’s cellphone-desktopy-thing (I am so useless with those things) is a picture of her daughter. That’s so adorable. And yet, Sun is still a badass. Like HRG. They should form a club.

Anyhoodle, something even cuter happens next. It’s Sun’s mommy is calling, and Sun’s daughter, Ji Yeon talks on the phone. She is the cutest child EVER. Sun looks like she’s on the verge of tears as Ji Yeon says she wants her to come home, because she misses her. *wibbles*

Sun eventually hangs up, watches the argument outside for a few seconds, steels herself, grabs her gun, and gets out of the car, not even bothering to quietly shut the car door as she does so. Still badass, though. And a little sexy. (*gulps* I can haz issues?)

We see the last scene from last week from a new angle, which is fun because Heroes used to do stuff like that.

Sun goes a little stupid, loudly cocking her gun out in the open and announcing her presence instead of shooting Ben on the spot. She gets Kate out of the scene by telling her that Aaron is in the car. Sayid doesn’t do a damn thing, possibly shocked that anyone could become as badass as him in the future. Ben is unnaturally calm, but that goes without saying with this character. He says that Jin is still alive, and he can prove it. D’oh!

 

 

Back on the Island, Jin asks Rou her name again. She confirms it, then he asks what year it is. It’s the 80s. Jin looks appropriately alarmed. He wants to go and find his camp, because the helicopter with his wife might be there. The Frenchpeople want to follow the Numbers (yay, continuity! I remember what that was like … *weeps tears of joy*) to a Radio Tower to call for help. Rou’s ?husband? draws a snazzy picture of a radio tower in the sand to ask Jin if there’s one on the Island. Jin wants to find his camp, but admits that he doesn’t know where it is from where he is now. Rou asks (very helpfully) if he knows where it is from the tower, and he says yes. They prepare to move out. I like this plot, even though most of them will die horrible deaths soon.

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the French they looked confused … (*shakes head* I’m up too late …) Jin looks wary, the French look more … curious. Rou (or should I be calling her Danielle here?) feels the baby kick, and she and Robert (her husband) have a little playful argument about the baby being an Alexander or an Alexandra. Naaaaw. It’s be cute if we didn’t know what was gonna happen soon.

The other woman in the party is missing. Tall blondish guy is still a jerk. They all look around with in creasing expressions of nerves, until they hear what we (and Jin) know as the signature Smoke Monster noise. Robert (I think, the guy with the violin looks similar to him) asks Jin what the noise is. Jin says “Monster.” YEEK!

 

Credits! Yeek!

 

Surprisingly, we end up right back where we left off. Unusual for Lost, but I like it. Too bad Jin doesn’t know enough English to explain that the Monster usually only takes you if you haven’t repented your sins yet, or have repented your sins and are ready to ascend to heaven or whatever the hell is going on in this weird place.

They go back to look for Nadine, despite Jin’s urging them to continue ahead. After some yelling and Jin looking nervous, we see the ground to that exploding mine-thingamabob, then Nadine’s corpse fall from the sky (well, not the sky, but wicked high up.) Danielle is very distressed, but the noises and explosions increase and Jin yells to run. They do, and the Smoke Monster grabs Jerk-Face, drags him down a hole, and despite the whole gang grabbing Jerk-Face’s arm and trying to hold him up, the Smoke Monster finally succeeds and Robert is left holding Jerk-Face’s arm. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!

In that entire sequence, we saw more of and a more varied display of the Smoke-Monster-Security-System-Epileptic-Trees than in the entire past five years of Lost episodes. I don’t know whether to feel happy or cheated or angry or what.

The gang decides to climb down the hole, after hearing Jerk-Face yelling that it’s gone and he’s hurt and needs help. I think it’s a trap, seeing as with an arm ripped off he’d be bleeding to death and screaming in pain, but that’s just me. Jin tries to get them not to go down, but only succeeds in convincing Danielle not to go, because of the baby. Then there’s a flash, and Jin is in front of the same odd-looking stone ruins, but no Danielle. This being his first official Flash (I think) he looks justifiably confuzzled, and didn’t notice (as we did) that this Flash was louder, shriller, and longer than the others. Utto.

The ruins have hieroglyphics (REALLY, show?) and Jin sees that Jerk-Face’s severed arm is pretty decently decayed. I’d say … more than a month, less than six. I’m no decay-expert, but it looks too far gone to be zombie recruitment worthy.

Jin wisely takes off running away from the ruins and then drinks some water from a conveniently-shaped leaf. He sees black smoke on the horizon.

He runs to the beach and finds the remain of a camp, including a music box that’s just lying there open, all conspicuous and scary-like. He rummages through someone’s backpack, finds the Frenchman’s violin/viola case lying open, a box of dynamite in the hut, and then … two corpses. Not that long dead, but flies are buzzing and Jin covers his face with his shirt. He hears an argument, and we see subtitles that explain that Danielle thinks the Smoke-Monster made the guys sick, Robert says it didn’t, it’s a security system guarding the temple, Danielle eventually believes he’s ok, then he attempts to shoot her with an empty gun. Guess he is sick. Danielle shots him as Jin yells ‘No!’ She sees Jin and thinks he’s sick too, firing at him as well, and Jin flees.

Yet another flash. Jin clutches his head and falls off a short hill. A loud gun cocks (or whatever.) Jin turns around, and it’s Sawyer. They semi-man-hug. Yay! Jin asks where Sun is. *wibbles*

Miles, Charlotte, and Dan do a good impression of a Greek Chorus. Charlotte uses Translate Language to explain the backstory to Jin (I guess that makes her the Mage in this game, and Jin is the guy who used to play then got busy with something else, then came back?) Jin is confuzzled. I want to hug him.

 

 

Back on the darkly-lit dock (ah, symbolism, how do I love thee?) Sun demands proof, having spent the last three years thinking her husband was dead. She even shoves her gun against Ben’s neck. *drools* I don’t care who’s doing it, any gunporn will get me excited. And that’s … probably waaaaaaaaay TMI for you guys. I apologize.

Ben says that the person who can provide proof is the one who’s engineering the back-to-the-Island thing. Kate is horrified that this is the plan and accuses Jack of pretending to care about Aaron to get them all back to the Island. Jack and I are justifiably insulted by this suggestion. Kate drives off, Sayid heads away saying he wants no part of this, hilariously saying this as Ben stands there with his arms held out with Sun’s pistol against his neck. I shouldn’t find it funny, it probably wasn’t intended to be funny, but it was, so I laugh. Sayid makes me lol even louder by pointing first at Jack and then at Ben, saying if he sees either of them again “it will be extremely unpleasant.” Kate’s car peels out of the parking lot. Ben tells Sun that it will take thirty minutes to get there, or she can shoot him and never know. After a heavy pause, Sun says “Let’s go.” YAY!

 

 

Back on the Island, the group is stupidly keeping a long, spread-out line. Charlotte ought to be up front, not lagging behind, not only to set the pace for the rest, being the weakest link, but also to translate Korean for Jin. Dan asks Charlotte if she knows any other languages, and she jokes that she can speak Klingon. If this were a cartoon, Dan’s eyes would turn into little hearts right about now in a burst of geek-love. Naaaaaw.

A flash happens, really fast. Charlotte screams “Nooo!” and it’s night for about five seconds, then another flash happens and Charlotte passes out. Juliet AND Sawyer have Nosebleeds of doom. Charlotte wakes up and speaks in what I think is French, then appears to be channeling Claire as she yells at Jin not to ‘let them bring her back. *insert episode title*!’

 

 

Back on the dimly-lit mainland, Sun says that Ben said they’d be there in thirty minutes. “I didn’t account for traffic.” Ben snarks, making me giggle some more.

Jack apologizes to Sun for leaving Jin behind. Sun asks if he’s gonna ask her not to kill Ben. Jack says that after what Ben did to Kate back there, if she doesn’t kill him, he will. Ben screeches the car over and has a rare display of emotion, venting how fed-up he is, by saying that if they knew everything he’s done to keep them and their friends safe, they’d never stop thanking him. He really ought to provide bullet-points at least, but seeing as he wins my heart by saying to Sun “You wanna shoot me, shoot me, but let’s get on with it. What’s it gonna be?” I’m inclined to ignore that right now. Sun tells him – with a hint of disgust – to drive. YAY!

 

 

Back on the Island, Charlotte tears between thinking she’s a little kid, knowing “more about ancient Carthage than Hannibal himself,” providing info that the Orchid is ‘at the well,’ wanting someone to turn up Geronimo Jackson, and telling the gang to go on without her. Dan elects to stay with her, and everyone else – with varying degrees of reluctance – go on ahead without them. The D&D band is whittled down, and I’m upset because this means the DM will get annoyed with keeping two plots straight in their head and probably kill of Dan and Charlotte, kill Charlotte to let Dan join the group again, or have marauding slavers capture them and have the whole team reunited in the market for an exciting fight/escape scene.

 

Miles has another nosebleed. Locke forges through some bushes, and I notice that he has elf-ears. Hee. Forboding music kicks in, and we see the Orchid (or, most of it.) Juliet says “What are the odds that we’d end up in the same time as this thing.” Naturally, there is then a flash, and the Orchid is gone. Sawyer turns to her and incredulously says “You just had to say something, didn’t you?” Lol. TV-Tropes. Huzzah! Locke finds the aforementioned Well (yeah, it deserves to be capitalized, someone worked hard on that thing!) in a ring of a shoddy, small-scale looking stone-henge type-thing. Miles asks aloud how Charlotte knew it was gonna be there. She was shagging the DM, that’s how!

 

Charlotte tells Dan that she’s been on the Island before, with the Dharma Initiative. She and her mom moved back to England, and her mom told her that the Island wasn’t real, Charlotte had made it up. What a cruel thing to say to a child! (Unless this is indeed a place crazy people dream up …) Charlotte says that’s why she became an anthropologist, to find the Island. Dan asks why she’s telling him this. (Why are people constantly lampshading all the answer-giving this season? We asked for it, we get it, can we move on, please?) Charlotte tearfully tells Dan that a crazy man on the Island really scared her as a child, because he told her that she had to leave the Island and never come back, because if she did come back she would die. She thinks that that man was Daniel. D’oh!

 

At the Well, Sawyer asks if Locke expects to find a subway in the Well. Locke grins his crazy grin and says “Goodbye, James.” Naaaaaw. He says goodbye to Juliet and Miles too, which is nice, seeing as he hasn’t known them all that long. Then Jin gets intense, threatening to cut the rope unless Locke promises not to bring Sun or their baby back to the Island, because the Island is a bad place. Locke promises, but I doubt he intends to keep that promise. Locke asks what he should do if Sun finds him. Jin says to tell her that he is dead, he washed up … and he gives Locke his wedding ring for proof. *jawdrop* Jin, ILU. I. LOVE. YOU. I LOVE YOU. You are probably one of the only good people on that Island. You don’t deserve to die, or be abandoned, or be the cause of all the bad things Sun is doing in the future/present. PLEASE survive and see you daughter. PLEASE! I am willing to bribe ABC officials to get this result!

Sawyer asks Locke if he wants them to lower him down. “Where would be the fun in that?” Locke says, with another crazy grin.

Juliet thanks him, if whatever he’s gonna attempt works out. Locke says “you’re welcome,” and Juliet twitches a smile. Hee.

Locke starts to climb down, and then there’s a Flash. The light seems to be coming from DOWN INSIDE THE WELL. Sawyer grabs the rope and tells Locke to hang on, but Locke falls, and it sounds bad.

Miles says “I think you can let go of that now.” because Sawyer is clinging to a rope that is coming out of the ground. Heh heh/oh noes! Juliet uses ‘Calm Sawyer’ again. She’s gonna get worn out if she keeps using that spell!

 

Back with Dan and Charlotte, Charlotte’s coughing interrupts more Answers. She coughs pretty bad, then smiles and says “I’m not allowed to have chocolate before dinner” … and then she DIES. And Dan’s face crumples. And NOTHING IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD.

 

Underground, Locke screams in pain some more. I think the bone is actually POKING OUT OF HIS LEG. That ain’t good, people. I know that from my 4^th grade science/health class. I can still see the illustration showing different kinds of breaks. (Why do I have such a weird memory?)

Then CHRISTIAN appears with a lantern. (Not appears, we hear him coming.) He tells Locke that he told him to move the Island, not Ben. Locke says Ben told him to lead the Others, and Christian asks when listening to Ben got Locke anywhere worth a damn. Hee. Hee. I hate this guy, but he sure does provide some desperately-needed sarcasm. He tells Locke to go to LA, gather everyone who left the Island, and find a woman named Eloise Hawking. She’ll tell him what to do. Locke asks, well, what if I can’t convince them all to come back? Christian says he has faith in Locke. Is Christian Jacob? Where is Claire? Will those answers be lampshaded as well? Locke says that Richard said he was going to die. “Well, I guess that’s why they call it ‘sacrifice.’” Christian says eerily. The man does everything eerily. I blame his theme music. He tells Locke that around a column there’s a wheel that “slipped off its axis” and all he has to do is give it “a little push.” Locke attempts to crawl, asks if Christian can help him, and Christian says sorry, he can’t. *shakes head* Never easy, is it? Wouldn’t it have been funny if it was, just this once?

Locke painfully makes his way into the Wheel-Room, which doesn’t have as much ice as when Ben went in. The Wheel is jerking around awkwardly, flashing yellowish and greenish and whitish light at intervals. Locke pulls  the Wheel, but it doesn’t seem to matter if he pushed or pulled as the light goes greenish-white and Christian yells “Say hello to my son!” and Locke hilariously asks “Who’s your son?” before Flashing awaaaaaaaaaaay …

 

 

Outside a church (I think it’s THE Church in which Eloise Hawking is inside) Ben cutely asks permission to reach inside his pocket, then withdraws Jin’s wedding ring. He hands it over to Sun. She asks how he has it. He says John gave it to him. Jack says “I thought you said Locke never came to see you.” Ben turns around sharply and says “That’s true, Jack, I went to see him.” *kaSNORT* Ben says he doesn’t know why Locke didn’t give Sun the ring or talk to her, maybe he didn’t have time before dying. He apologizes for not giving it to her before now, but everyone on the Island “Jin included” need their help, and the woman inside the Church can get them back there, but they’re running out of time. He gets Sun on board.

Then DESMOND steps out of the shadows. WOOHOO! Properly dramatic music plays as he approaches, in a very sexy jacket. He asks what they’re doing here. Ben (looking surprised or confused) says “I assume the same thing you are.”

Desmond blinks. “You’re looking for Faraday’s mother too?” and the creepy Lost music that I assume stands for ‘????!!!!!!????!!1!!!!!??!’ plays.

Ben just pivots on the spot and heads inside the Church. Everyone follows him. More creepy music plays as we see Ms. Hawking. She is not impressed with ‘Benjamin’ bringing only these guys, but he says they’re all he could get on short notice. She suposses they’ll have to do for now and says “All right, let’s get started.” Yeek?

 

Next Week:

Ms. Hawking explains that “This is how they formed the Island” … with a giant Pendulum. They’re looking for windows back. Jack opens a casket. Hurley says “let’s do this.” Desmond is aghast that they’re all going back to the Island willingly. Kate says she’s going with Jack … and then they kiss. Ew. Hurley says someone might wanna fasten their seat belt. Hey, a waterfall!

And yet, Sun is still a badass. Like HRG. They should form a club.)
Yup! It'd be called the "Badass momma and dada's club."

Still badass, though. And a little sexy. (*gulps* I can haz issues?)
Don't worry--I felt the same way. XP

Sayid doesn’t do a damn thing, possibly shocked that anyone could become as badass as him in the future.)
His brain must have shorted out for a few minutes. X3

Credits! Yeek!)
Ahh The Lost credits!!!! *attempts to run away and falls on face*

This being his first official Flash (I think)
Yeah, cause we know he flashed, to get to the Island in a time younger!Danielle was on, but he was unconscious.

A loud gun cocks (or whatever.) Jin turns around, and it’s Sawyer. They semi-man-hug. Yay!)
Seeing Sawyer so happy to see Jin--that whole scene just flat out did it for me, not even in a slashy way, just omfgyay!!way.

Charlotte uses Translate Language to explain the backstory to Jin (I guess that makes her the Mage in this game, and Jin is the guy who used to play then got busy with something else, then came back?)
I guess she's a sorcerer--Daniel seems more of the wizard type. :P I guess Jin could be a Ranger, since he hunts animals and fish and stuff. *shrug*

I don’t care who’s doing it, any gunporn will get me excited.)
Don't worry, cause you're right gun!porn is f--ing hot. *___*

Jack and I are justifiably insulted by this suggestion.)
Jack! Stop giving off Jack/Ben vibes! You're going to make me want to really ship it! And look for fanfic!

Sayid makes me lol even louder by pointing first at Jack and then at Ben, saying if he sees either of them again “it will be extremely unpleasant.” )
Sayid's just mad that he's not getting enough slashy screen time. XD

Back on the dimly-lit mainland, Sun says that Ben said they’d be there in thirty minutes. “I didn’t account for traffic.” Ben snarks, making me giggle some more.)
lol

Ben screeches the car over and has a rare display of emotion, venting how fed-up he is, by saying that if they knew everything he’s done to keep them and their friends safe, they’d never stop thanking him. he wins my heart by saying to Sun “You wanna shoot me, shoot me, but let’s get on with it. What’s it gonna be?” I’m inclined to ignore that right now. Sun tells him – with a hint of disgust – to drive. YAY!)
That scene...omg. If I already didn't love Ben, I would have right then. BEENNNNNN <333 *glomps Ben* I LOVED that scene. <333333

The D&D band is whittled down, and I’m upset because this means the DM will get annoyed with keeping two plots straight in their head )
lol! Yay for D&D references! And yeah, I know how DM's can get pissed off about that--I've both been in a campaign before that had that problem, and was once a DM myself (it's rather difficult but fun!)

Miles asks aloud how Charlotte knew it was gonna be there. She was shagging the DM, that’s how!)
*shakes head* Charlotte should know better! If something goes wrong in the sex and/or relationship--then teh DM will probably kill off her character! lol

She thinks that that man was Daniel. D’oh!)
Well we DID see him in a Dharma flashback...

Juliet uses ‘Calm Sawyer’ again. She’s gonna get worn out if she keeps using that spell!)
She's gonna use up all her spell points! =O

Is Christian Jacob?)
I think Jacob is just using Christian's body/Christian's form, because he might not have his own shape to use (anymore?) or he doesn't want his real form to be seen...

Jack says “I thought you said Locke never came to see you.” Ben turns around sharply and says “That’s true, Jack, I went to see him.” *kaSNORT*)
lol! Locke proposed to Ben! XD (But yeah, I loved Ben's line and how he said it--he is the f--ing man. <3)

Yay Desmond! <333 He DID look fucking sexy. Then again, the man looks sexy in ANYTHING (or nothing ^_~)

Kate says she’s going with Jack … and then they kiss. Ew.)
*hurls* ewwwww Now Ben is going to have to wash out Jack's mouth out with soap and/or mouthwash! ...why the hell am I fixating on Jack/Ben?!?!!? *headdesk*

And also! I'm getting ready to post on my LJ what I thought of Storm Front. (And what I think on the pairing potential with Harry and so forth...) And! I bring to you...new DW GIF! *points at icon* XD

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

Yup! It'd be called the "Badass momma and dada's club."
Ha ha, yeah! We need that sign ...

Maybe Sun's one of those people EVERYONE gets a crush on, regardless of pre-existing preferences.

His brain must have shorted out for a few minutes. X3
I know mine did.

Seeing Sawyer so happy to see Jin--that whole scene just flat out did it for me, not even in a slashy way, just omfgyay!!way.
It was just ... cute. In a great way. I so seldom see two guys hugging without thinking 'Ho!Yay!' so seeing Jin and Sawyer's hug was refreshing last night. There were a lot of 'naaaaaaaaw' moments in that episode. Never would have guessed with that title.

I guess she's a sorcerer--Daniel seems more of the wizard type. :P I guess Jin could be a Ranger, since he hunts animals and fish and stuff. *shrug*
Yes, Dan is the Wizard, because he's got a spellbook! Charlotte is ... I dunno what she was. Definitely had some magicks, and I genuinely liked her, so I'll spend a little more time trying to figure out her D&D counterpart. Yeah, Jin COULD be a ranger ... he is one badass fisher after all! (Sea urchins don't need to be hunted all that hard, but he eventually switched to fish in the long run.)

Don't worry, cause you're right gun!porn is f--ing hot. *___*
Oh yes, yes it is! The more show that figure that out, the better!

Jack! Stop giving off Jack/Ben vibes! You're going to make me want to really ship it! And look for fanfic!
Dear oh dear ... looks like somebody's getting converted to a pairing ...

Sayid's just mad that he's not getting enough slashy screen time. XD
If you were as hot and badass as him, wouldn't you be?

That scene...omg. If I already didn't love Ben, I would have right then. BEENNNNNN <333 *glomps Ben* I LOVED that scene. <333333
I KNOW! If I hadn't been sold sometime last season, that scene would have gotten me too! *huggles Ben* How can he be so awesome and so scary?

I've never been a DM. I think I'd get too caught up in writing stuff down than making up stories. And I don't handle stress well. My old DM is really good, though.

*shakes head* Charlotte should know better! If something goes wrong in the sex and/or relationship--then teh DM will probably kill off her character! lol
I know! That was one of the (many) reasons I said no when my DM asked me out a couple years ago!

Well we DID see him in a Dharma flashback...
Yeah ... I can't wait to see THAT plotline play out. The more we know about Dharma and their war against the Hostiles the better!

She's gonna use up all her spell points! =O
Oh noes! Then goblins will attack and she'll be helpless! (Well, as helpless as Juliet ever is.)

or he doesn't want his real form to be seen...
I think that's the most likely theory ...

Locke proposed to Ben!
Oh my GOD ... you're right! *faints*

*takes a moment to collect myself*

Yay Desmond! <333 He DID look fucking sexy. Then again, the man looks sexy in ANYTHING (or nothing ^_~)
Oh, I very much concur, my dear ... *grinz* Penny is a lucky, lucky woman. Particularly because I feel no ill-will to her, as I usually do to women who latch on to pretty men in my TV shows.

*hurls* ewwwww Now Ben is going to have to wash out Jack's mouth out with soap and/or mouthwash! ...why the hell am I fixating on Jack/Ben?!?!!? *headdesk*
No, Ben is going to clean out the Kate-spit by kissing Jack HIMSELF.
Ok, now I'm enabling you. I'm sorry?

Oooooo, pretty icon!

[phoenixjustice.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, yeah! We need that sign ...))
I'll make a Macro! XDD

Maybe Sun's one of those people EVERYONE gets a crush on, regardless of pre-existing preferences.)
I think so! lol

I know mine did.)
lol I think mine did too. xD

It was just ... cute. In a great way. I so seldom see two guys hugging without thinking 'Ho!Yay!' so seeing Jin and Sawyer's hug was refreshing last night. There were a lot of 'naaaaaaaaw' moments in that episode. Never would have guessed with that title.))
It WAS cute! Oh and I KNOW! It was just a awwwww moment without throwing in lots of slashy subtext, which can be refreshing every once and awhile. lol yeah, the title kind of said the opposite..=P

Yes, Dan is the Wizard, because he's got a spellbook! Charlotte is ... I dunno what she was. Definitely had some magicks, and I genuinely liked her, so I'll spend a little more time trying to figure out her D&D counterpart. )
He's got the spellbook and he has lots of components to make stuff with. I like to think of Charlotte as a Rogue who has multi-classed a couple of levels in sorcerer. *shrug* lol

Yeah, Jin COULD be a ranger ... he is one badass fisher after all! (Sea urchins don't need to be hunted all that hard, but he eventually switched to fish in
the long run.)
Yup!

Oh yes, yes it is! The more show that figure that out, the better!)
Definitely! We shall have to drop by all the major offices, NBC, CBS, etc and help them figure it out! =P

Dear oh dear ... looks like somebody's getting converted to a pairing ...)
noooooo *tries to resist the urge to ship it....and fails utterly*

If you were as hot and badass as him, wouldn't you be?)
Most definitely! He wants to sex someone up and isn't getting his needs fulfilled! =X

I KNOW! If I hadn't been sold sometime last season, that scene would have gotten me too! *huggles Ben* How can he be so awesome and so scary?))
Seriously! I have no clue--but he manages both. Yeah, last season just about made everyone like Ben I think. XD

I've never been a DM. I think I'd get too caught up in writing stuff down than making up stories. And I don't handle stress well. My old DM is really good, though. )
I only did it once and it was definitely stressful enough! I much prefer playing. =P I handled the stress ok, I guess...O_o

I know! That was one of the (many) reasons I said no when my DM asked me out a couple years ago!)
Oh really? Wow. Yeah, I wouldn't want to go out with my DM either (well maybe if they were DT or David Anders or Zach Quinto or--)

Yeah ... I can't wait to see THAT plotline play out. The more we know about Dharma and their war against the Hostiles the better!)
Me too! And yes, the more information the better! *is a canon whore* lol I love to have all the info I can on something when I write about it, it's why I'm not going to write any Dresden Files fic yet, until I've caught up with all of the books. There have been a few exceptions when it comes to writing fics about a book when the series wasn't done yet, like Harry Potter.

Oh noes! Then goblins will attack and she'll be helpless! (Well, as helpless as Juliet ever is.)
lol yeah. She'll just have to wack them with her staff. Or whatever weapon she might use. Hmm...maybe a quarterstaff?

I think that's the most likely theory ...)
I wonder if the Smoke Monster is something that works for Jacob, or another form he can take...hmm...

Locke proposed to Ben!
Oh my GOD ... you're right! *faints*
*takes a moment to collect myself*)
hee hee! XD I love being able to point that kind of stuff out...doesn't happen to often! =P

Oh, I very much concur, my dear ... *grinz* Penny is a lucky, lucky woman. Particularly because I feel no ill-will to her, as I usually do to women who latch on to pretty men in my TV shows.)
Hee! Definitely! XD Yeah, I feel the same way--Penny is the one of the few who I like and don't begrudge, like when her and Desmond got reunited last season, it tugged on my heart strings. <3

No, Ben is going to clean out the Kate-spit by kissing Jack HIMSELF.
Ok, now I'm enabling you. I'm sorry?)
YAY!...O_O lol I think you are! ^__~ lol, it was inevitable it seems, so don't feel bad. =P

Oooooo, pretty icon! )
Hee! Thank you. XP

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

Yay, macros!

He's got the spellbook and he has lots of components to make stuff with. I like to think of Charlotte as a Rogue who has multi-classed a couple of levels in sorcerer. *shrug* lol
Yes, that makes sense ... (I'm not being sarcastic, really, it does make sense!)

Definitely! We shall have to drop by all the major offices, NBC, CBS, etc and help them figure it out! =P
If we go around waving signs that say 'more gun-porn' we'll get arrested ...

noooooo *tries to resist the urge to ship it....and fails utterly*
There there, dear, it's alright ...

Most definitely! He wants to sex someone up and isn't getting his needs fulfilled! =X
*puts on my slinky black shirt and leaps in his general direction*

Seriously! I have no clue--but he manages both. Yeah, last season just about made everyone like Ben I think. XD
It was his daughter's death, wasn't it? We found out he was human, and then we all felt terrible about our previous stances about him ...

Oh really? Wow. Yeah, I wouldn't want to go out with my DM either (well maybe if they were DT or David Anders or Zach Quinto or--)
Well, DT and ZQ are definately geeky enough to have played D&D at least ONCE ... David Anders I'm not so sure ...
Yeah, my old DM is a great friend and all, but ... I don't feel like THAT about him. I'm hoping he still doesn't feel like THAT about me, because I just want to be great friends with him, not awkward-friends or onesided-crush friends.

Me too! And yes, the more information the better! *is a canon whore* lol I love to have all the info I can on something when I write about it, it's why I'm not going to write any Dresden Files fic yet, until I've caught up with all of the books. There have been a few exceptions when it comes to writing fics about a book when the series wasn't done yet, like Harry Potter.
*is a whore for canon too* I'm very reluctant to write and post Dresden File slash, but I've started writing a fic in bits and pieces, so I can change stuff later if needs be.
There needs to be more Harry/Marcone damnit! The stuff that's there is incredibly well written, but I want MORE! And a higher percentage where Harry angsts about his feeeeeeelings and is he gay for a mobster or what ... and more series fics where Marcone isn't creepy-controlling. I like controlling, but not ALL the time! I want more snuggling!

lol yeah. She'll just have to wack them with her staff. Or whatever weapon she might use. Hmm...maybe a quarterstaff?
She's totally got a staff. And some daggers.

I wonder if the Smoke Monster is something that works for Jacob, or another form he can take...hmm...
Oh dear ...

Hee! Definitely! XD Yeah, I feel the same way--Penny is the one of the few who I like and don't begrudge, like when her and Desmond got reunited last season, it tugged on my heart strings. <3
I squeed quite a lot, if memory serves ...

[phoenixjustice.livejournal.com]

Yay, macros!)
I'll definitely do it when I feel better.

Yes, that makes sense ... (I'm not being sarcastic, really, it does make sense!)
Cool! =P

If we go around waving signs that say 'more gun-porn' we'll get arrested ...)
lol true. We'd have to find HRG--the Fourth Wall be damned! And hire him to protect us...then again, we'd probably all faint and/or have nosebleeds when he gets out his gun...XD

There there, dear, it's alright ...)
lol I suppose there's worse things to ship. =P

*puts on my slinky black shirt and leaps in his general direction*)
lol! We'll have to share him. ^__~

It was his daughter's death, wasn't it? We found out he was human, and then we all felt terrible about our previous stances about him ...)
Yeah, I think so.

Well, DT and ZQ are definately geeky enough to have played D&D at least ONCE ... David Anders I'm not so sure ...)
lol yeah! Well DA probably is the type who plays D&D but keeps it secret from all his closest friends and stuff, like almost ashamed that he plays a "geeky" game or something lol.

Yeah, my old DM is a great friend and all, but ... I don't feel like THAT about him. I'm hoping he still doesn't feel like THAT about me, because I just want to be great friends with him, not awkward-friends or onesided-crush friends.)
I know what you mean. Well hopefully you two can be friends without all that tension, mentioned or otherwise.

Me too! And yes, the more information the better!
*is a whore for canon too* I'm very reluctant to write and post Dresden File slash, but I've started writing a fic in bits and pieces, so I can change stuff later if needs be.)
Yay! Us canon whore's have to stick together, lol. Yeah, that's the reason I haven't started writing or reading any DF fic yet--I don't want to be influenced by reading fic, whether from spoilers or no, and I want to know all I can before I write fic.

There needs to be more Harry/Marcone damnit! The stuff that's there is incredibly well written, but I want MORE! And a higher percentage where Harry angsts about his feeeeeeelings and is he gay for a mobster or what ... and more series fics where Marcone isn't creepy-controlling. I like controlling, but not ALL the time! I want more snuggling! )
I haven't looked for any fic yet, but I'd take linkies and look at them later when I've read all the books. ^.^ Yes! I would like to see fic like that too. Angst-y = good and a little snuggling wouldn't kill Marcone! lol

She's totally got a staff. And some daggers. )
Definitely daggers. She's awesome like that. xD

Oh dear ...)
I don't know--the episode made me reevaluate Jacob a bit, think more about what he/she/it/pokemon could be.

I squeed quite a lot, if memory serves ...)
I think I totally did too. <3

lol true. We'd have to find HRG--the Fourth Wall be damned! And hire him to protect us...then again, we'd probably all faint and/or have nosebleeds when he gets out his gun...XD
I think I could handle it ... I'd prop you and the others up against the Fourth Wall and fight alongside HRG and try not to look up at him with shojo-manga-eyes.

lol I suppose there's worse things to ship. =P
Like people who are RELATED *coughcough* I see it, I know it's there, I know that the actors aren't related ... but I can't ship any of them, goddamnit! The only incest I ship is Persephone/Hades, and I still feel guilty about that one!
*headdesk* This must be leftover Catholic guilt from my father's side of the family ...

lol! We'll have to share him. ^__~
With Sayid, I think we WOULD have to share him. It'd be physically impossible otherwise.

lol yeah! Well DA probably is the type who plays D&D but keeps it secret from all his closest friends and stuff, like almost ashamed that he plays a "geeky" game or something lol.
Poor guy ... *huggles him*

There's so little fic I'd suggest just going here and diving into the archives like me:
http://community.livejournal.com/mafiabanter/profile
It's a nice community, but clearly in need of some more fic. *rubs hands together* Soon, it's impending, I promise ...
I'm almost NERVOUS to write fanfic about the Dresden Files. They're so amazingly well-written ... I kinda feel unworthy to take them on ...
*must shake that feeling*

a little snuggling wouldn't kill Marcone! lol
I think it would be the cutest, most awkward thing ever, but it would have to happen somewhere super-sekkrit where nobody could tape them or photograph them or spy on them with magic and then blackmail Marcone. It would be awesome if that did happen, though, and Marcone beat up every mobster who insinuated that gays are weak ... I want homophobe-bashing!

Definitely daggers. She's awesome like that. xD
Indeed! I made it a point to always have at least ONE dagger on my person in the game ...

I don't know--the episode made me reevaluate Jacob a bit, think more about what he/she/it/pokemon could be.
Hee hee ... 'Jacob, I choose you!'

[phoenixjustice.livejournal.com]

I think I could handle it ... I'd prop you and the others up against the Fourth Wall and fight alongside HRG and try not to look up at him with shojo-manga-eyes.))
lol yup. Yeah, just don't stare directly at him--that's the key! XD

Like people who are RELATED *coughcough* I see it, I know it's there, I know that the actors aren't related ... but I can't ship any of them, goddamnit! )
lol yeah there is that. XD I know what you mean though--even though the ACTORS aren't related, your brain still sees them as the CHARACTERS and the characters are RELATED. XP

The only incest I ship is Persephone/Hades, and I still feel guilty about that one!
*headdesk* This must be leftover Catholic guilt from my father's side of the family ...)
Me likes to think so...I try to be as non-biased about religion as I can, (Christian's especially can make it kind of hard...) but they DO kind of make you feel guilty about every little thing, no matter if it's actually a bad thing or not...

With Sayid, I think we WOULD have to share him. It'd be physically impossible otherwise.)
Definitely! And hey, Jack, Sawyer and all teh other smexy Lost men would get all jealous of us and come over and try to get Sayid back and stuff. XD

Poor guy ... *huggles him*)
lol yeah, Ilu DA! <33

woohoo! TY! <33 And coolness! I can't wait to see some DF fanfic from you! I've been wondering what perspective you're going to write it in. Well, partly because...I broke the promise/thing I said--that I wasn't going to write any Dresden Files fic until
I finished all the books...but I have a good reason! The idea struck me with what to do with the next prompt for round 3 of the Challenge--a DF/TDK crossover (with it being in Harry's first person POV...too bad the idea didn't hit me when we had the crossovers prompt! XP I won't say much about what I'm doing other than Harry, Gotham, Batman, Chicago, Joker, Mobsters, Marcone and possibly Morgan. XD)

I'm almost NERVOUS to write fanfic about the Dresden Files. They're so amazingly well-written ... I kinda feel unworthy to take them on ...

Oh I know what you mean! I feel the same way! But yes! You must shake that feeling!

Definitely! But the end result would be soooooo worth it. <3

It would be awesome if that did happen, though, and Marcone beat up every mobster who insinuated that gays are weak ... I want homophobe-bashing!)
Well us two might just have to work together on a fic or something like that! =P

Indeed! I made it a point to always have at least ONE dagger on my person in the game ...)
I usually just have my main weapon and/or spells/arrows.

Hee hee ... 'Jacob, I choose you!'
Who's that pokemon...it's Jacob!
GRARGH!!!!!!!!!
OH shit! *runs*

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

(Aaaaaaaaah! You got a Dresden File icon! Good on you! *dances* I need to get me one of those someday ... Kaylee and her Parasol approve!)

I know what you mean though--even though the ACTORS aren't related, your brain still sees them as the CHARACTERS and the characters are RELATED. XP
Yeah, I know ... bad mind, stop it! (Then again, I am ridiculously split on RPS. On the one hand, most of them make me feel uncomfortable and voyeuristic. On the other hand, sometimes I run into one that makes me blush sixteen shades of scarlet and LIKE IT, so ...)

I'm pretty good with no-guilt feeling most of the time.

Definitely! And hey, Jack, Sawyer and all teh other smexy Lost men would get all jealous of us and come over and try to get Sayid back and stuff. XD
That would be FUN!

I won't say much about what I'm doing other than Harry, Gotham, Batman, Chicago, Joker, Mobsters, Marcone and possibly Morgan. XD)
It sounds AMAZING already! Can't wait to dole out some Kensei Approval!

Definitely! But the end result would be soooooo worth it. <3
*purrs* Oh yes indeed ... *dreams up a fic where Marcone spends the entire evening telling Harry he has something important to tell him, but he can only tell him somewhere where NO ONE CAN SEE OR HEAR THEM ... then promptly kisses him and/or jumps his bones*

I usually just have my main weapon and/or spells/arrows.
I'd have a short sword, some kind of bow (crossbow, collapsible, etc.) and at least one dagger.

*flees from Jacob*

Yay! Yeah, I was lucky and found some while I was perusing online.

Hells yeah!

Nawwwww *blushes* *scuffles shoe*

*purrs* Oh yes indeed ... *dreams up a fic where Marcone spends the entire evening telling Harry he has something important to tell him, but he can only tell him somewhere where NO ONE CAN SEE OR HEAR THEM ... then promptly kisses him and/or jumps his bones*
Ooooooohhhhhhh *drools* *_*

I'd have a short sword, some kind of bow (crossbow, collapsible, etc.) and at least one dagger.)
Sounds good. When I'm a fighter, I use many different kinds of swords, though I don't usually use the shorter ones that much. And I usually use the bow when I'm a spellcaster. *shrug*

*flees from Jacob*)
*runs with you*

BUT OMG! THIS EPISODE OF LOST!...and did that preview for next week say what I think it did? Cause if it did...then I was TOTALLY RIGHT. *_*

[aunt-zelda.livejournal.com]

Yay! Yeah, I was lucky and found some while I was perusing online.
Were there a bunch? If so, could you gimme linkies?

lol I know what you mean. RPS is one of the few things that still gets me like that. XD
It's good to have SOME morals.

Nawwwww *blushes* *scuffles shoe*
You WILL deserve it, dear! The summary alone has me convinced!

Ooooooohhhhhhh *drools* *_*
Damnit ... now I'll HAVE to write it once I get better and my creativity comes back ...

Sounds good. When I'm a fighter, I use many different kinds of swords, though I don't usually use the shorter ones that much. And I usually use the bow when I'm a spellcaster. *shrug*
I like using spells with a bow. It's far too much fun to send flaming projectiles at my enemies ...

[phoenixjustice.livejournal.com]

Were there a bunch? If so, could you gimme linkies?)
Hmm, I don't remember the sites, but I suppose I could try and find them. I mean, I saved most of them on my comp, so I can just send them to you...

It's good to have SOME morals.
Yup. =P

You WILL deserve it, dear! The summary alone has me convinced!)
lol. I have a lot of it planned in my head, now I just need to get it on paper...*works at it!*

Damnit ... now I'll HAVE to write it once I get better and my creativity comes back ...)
Yuppers! lol

Oh I sooooooooo know what you mean. I do that too! XDD
