aunt_zeldaThis is going to be a recurring theme, methinks: the Lost WAZT being late. Sorry, but I've been INSANELY BUSY and am happy to just get time to watch the episodes on the weekends.
That said, HOMG Dead Beat was AWESOME and FANTASTIC and TOTALLY NOT FILLER AT ALL! *does a little dance* Plus the books seem to be getting longer, so I get more bang for my buck, which is nice, seeing as I don't have much surplus money. At all. It's another stressful thing.
So, onto the show!
He's Our You:
[Quick recap: Ben's dead! But that can't possibly happen, so ignore that! The Love Trapezoid Show continues to annoy me, but thankfully didn't take up nearly as much time as the promo would have had us believe! And Sayid, thy name is Woobie! Any questions?]
Previously on Lost: My name is Sayid Jarrah. I was in a plane crash and I woke up in 1977. Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet. Now maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get back home ...
(Ok, serious-time now.)
Previously on Lost (last season, anyway) Little-ish Ben ran into Scruffy Richard (YUM!) in the woods. Big Ben (hee hee) turned Sayid into James Bond. Sayid got on the plane in handcuffs (double YUM!) then he got captured by the Dharma and brought a sandwich by Little Ben.
In
In the present (I mean, 1977 ... I mean ... ARRRRRRGH THIS IS WORSE THAN DOCTOR WHO!) Ben brings Sayid another sandwich, and a book. I can't read the title. Ben tells his backstory with Richard and wanting to join the Hostiles to Sayid, saying that the camera can't hear them, just see them. He thinks that he can help Sayid. Sayid and the music are scared.
In another flashback, long-haired, hoodie-wearing, leather-jacket clad, gritty Sayid shoots a guy in
In 1977, Horace and Radinsky enter Sayid's cell. There's a tense moment where Horace tells Sayid to hold out his hands and brandishes some nasty-looking wire clippers ... but he only removes Sayid's handcuffs. Sayid, the music, and I heave sighs of relief, and Sayid says "Thank you" in this adorable woobie kind of way that I want to leap into the screen and give him many, many hugs. I suspect this is just the beginning, however, so I brace myself for more Kick the Dog moments. (On a side note, I'd like to point out that the Dharma, like the Harry Potter wizarding population, seem to have been plagued with bad-eyesight. Every third Dharma employee we see is wearing glasses.) Sayid refuses to talk, and Horace takes off his glasses (YEEK! Bad sign!) and says he's gonna give Sayid an hour to figure out if he wants to talk, and if he doesn't, Horace will "have to bring this to the next level." It's an example of how beaten-down Sayid is already that he doesn't laugh in the guy's face: he used to TORTURE PEOPLE in
Juliet fears that the arrival of Kate and Jack has wrecked her and Sawyer's 'playing house.' Sawyer denies this. I wish that everyone would shut up and just have a foursome. It might not solve anything, but it would be SOOOOOO preferable to more 'she likes him I like you mwah kiss-kiss slap love dodecagon.'
Utto! There's a tense scene in which Sawyer headbutts Sayid, tries to get him to go along with the cover-story of wanting to defect from the Others and join the Dharma party, but Sayid is freaked by Ben living there and wants to be all by his lonesome. I think he's given up. I think he wants to die. I think I'm going to be in tears by the end of this episode. Sawyer is hot when he's in charge.
Hurley spells out the latest developments on the Juliet-Sawyer-Kate-Jack love-trapezoid show for viewers just tuning in. Kate is upset. Hurley defects to the Heroes fandom, I mean ... 'goes to make more waffles.'
Sayid and a Janitor banter. Janitor gets insulted, and says "Yeah, well, we'll see how cute you are when
In a flashback, Sayid does construction-type things and works the hideous yellow shirt. Ben arrives in a nice tan suit and says that Locke is dead, and he thinks someone *coughcough* totally not anyone named BENJAMEN LINUS *coughcough* killed him! He wants Sayid to go and get rid of the man watching Hurley, and says that Sayid is a killer. Sayid doesn't like killing, and says he isn't who Ben thinks he is. Ben apologizes, says he was mistaken about Sayid, and leaves. I am very appreciative of the great shots in this scene where the two were almost silhouetted against the bay.
Ulp. Sayid gets tazered, handcuffed, thrown in a van, and led to Some Guy's tipi, where there's a phonograph playing. Really, the phonograph was all the warning I needed about this guy. Sayid whispers "Who is that man?" to Sawer, who replies "He's our you." Meep.
Sayid gets chained to a tree (and looks every bit as delicious chained to it as in the promos) and force-fed a sugar cube. Yipes!
[My knowledge of illicit substances is rather limited, guys. When I saw him dripping something onto the sugar cube, my first thought was heroin. Shut up. I know it was LSD now, because I read the TWoP recap after I wrote this review.]
Replay of the Scene at the Docks, but from Sayid's POV. He stalks off, leaving Sun pointing a pistol at Ben. Heh heh. That will never not be funny.
Glamerous Ana-Lucia (the woman we know as Allona, the cop who was escorting Sayid on the plane) flirts with Sayid at a bar. He asks if she's "a professional" and she thinks he means 'prostitute' but I thought he meant 'assassin.' She admits to liking sad men, and he says he's sorry for her. I want to glomp them both now. I think that the Scotch they're drinking is the one Whitmore snubbed Desmond with, but don't quote me on that.
Sayid is high. It's really funny, but also scary, and he rattles off about all the stations like a total Lost geek, and I'm jealous that he can remember all that stuff about the stations because I want to be a total Lost geek and haven't the time or brain-space. When Sayid says that the Dharma people are all gonna die, they get nervous, but when he says he's from the future, they think they used too much of the sugar cubes.
Juliet and Kate almost have chemistry. Sayid gets brought back to the barracks, kinda loopy. Sawyer looks conflicted.
Dharma Meeting! (I wonder who's taking minutes?) Radinsky and then Amy push for a vote to kill Sayid, despite Horace wanting more time and Sawyer saying he can get Sayid to talk if given more time. Radinsky threatens to call 'the pretteh Sayid. Horace pushes Sawyer to vote, 'cause he wants to be able to say the vote was unanimous.
Sayid and the lady from the bar writhe around and make out and it is all very hot and sexy, so much so that I'm surprised they got some of it on TV, and then she kicks him with her hooker-boots and pulls a gun on him. She was hired by the family of the man he killed on the golf course, to bring Sayid to
Sawyer tells Sayid that there was a vote to have him killed, and "even the new mom" voted yea. Seeing as the 'new mom' is the mother of ETHAN, and Horace seems to be a pretty decent guy, I guess we have to assume that Ethan got his crazy evilness from somewhere *coughcough* looking at you, Amy *cough* Sawyer tries to get Sayid to escape (with the condition that he not shoot Phil on the way out. Damnit.) but Sayid says no, he's going to stay here, he knows why he was sent back to the
Before Kate can tell Sawyer why she came back to the
A few episodes ago, we see Hurley and Jack talking from Sayid's POV. He spots Kate, and begs Mercenary Lady to take the next flight. She's having none of it. Ah, so that explains his puppy-dog-ness! He actually wants to answer for the stuff he did on Ben's orders, and wants to die! Hence he doesn't want to head back to the Island, because the only way you die on the
*has given waaaay too much thought to this*
On the plane, Sayid spots Sun, then exchanges a Meaningful Glance with Battered Ben. He asks if Mercenary Lady is working for Ben, and describes Ben pretty decently, listing all the bad things he's done, though I take umbrage at Sayid accusing Ben of letting his daughter die to save himself. Ben was actually distraught over Alex's death, I swear! There is SOME GOOD IN HIM! *headdesks* She asks why she would work for a man like that, and for some reason I believe that she is Neutral Good. Sayid says "I did."
Sayid and Ben run into Jin in the jungle. Sayid knocks Jin out with a cool move, that Ben is awed by. Sayid takes Jin's gun, and without looking at Ben, says "You were right. I am a killer." and then he SHOOTS BEN IN THE CHEST OH MY GOD! (Someone told me this was going to happen, but seeing it happen ... *reels*)
How is that ... even ... possible ...?
*flees to the next episode in terror*
Whatever Happened, Happened:
[Quick recap: this episode wants you to think it’s all about Kate, but it isn’t. It’s about sci-fi fanboys, Little Ben being alive, Jack being an ass, the Ben/Locke pairing still going strong, and Evangeline Lily being hot.]
Previously on Lost: Kate and What's-Her-Name (Sawyer's baby mama) had femslashy vibes. Kate wanted Aaron to be her son. Sawyer told Kate something before jumping out of the helicopter. Someone wanted to take Aaron from Kate, but it certainly wasn't Claire's mom! Little Ben broke Sayid out of jail, and Sayid shot him, then ran off into the jungle crying.
Jin wakes up, makes contact on the radio, then finds DYING BEN (shot, but not dead! *slumps in relief ... sort of*) and hauls him into the van.
Horace rallies the Dharma people to prepare for more attacks. Jack makes himself look stupid by pointing out a valid fact.
Ben's evil dad is nice to Kate, and they bond over being stuck in jobs they didn't expect and weren't ready for. Jin drives up and, instead of yelling for help, picks Ben up and starts heading somewhere. Roger yelps "That's my kid!" a few times, sounding genuinely horrified, and Kate's parental instincts lead her back to a FLASHBACK!
Now, let me make myself clear. I don't like Kate as a character. She only causes trouble and doesn't contribute anything useful. But she is awfully pretty, and genuinely cares, so I'll let that slide this episode.
Kate, and still-a-baby Aaron, visit Cassidy. Cassidy and Kate actually kiss upon seeing each other! (I mean, it wasn't with sentimental music and close ups and stuff, it was one of those 'hey, you!' pecks, but a girl can dream, right?) Kate says that Sawyer sent her, and Cassidy's grin slips away pretty darn fast.
After the theme song, Cassidy is mad, Kate insists that Sawyer is a hero, Cassidy is mad, and it's unclear how much of the show's run Kate has revealed to Cassidy. Still, lesbian highjinks seem very likely! Cassidy surmises that Aaron isn't Kate's baby, and she knows, at least, that the Oceanic 6 'cooked up a story' to feed the whole world.
Fast fast fast! Sawyer gets Miles to put Hurley, Jack, and Kate in a house to keep them safe, as things are starting to 'spin out of control.' He could also say 'witch-hunt' but he doesn't, so I will. WITCH HUNT! Also, the keys are janitor's keys, and there's only three janitors: Jack, Roger, and someone named 'Willie.' Odd man out, methinks. Sawyer finds out that Roger is missing his keys, and goes in to check on Ben. Juliet says that they need "a real surgeon" and Sawyer storms out, looking like he just bit into a lemon.
I love Miles. Jack is a jerk. Hurley has surmised that if "Little Ben" dies, he won't grow up to become "Big Ben" (OMG he's speaking
(Ok, Jack Rant over ... for now, at least ...)
After the commercial break, Jack is still being an ass. He doesn't have the right to be throwing time-travel babble back at us, because he is not a geek or a believer in such things, he is the man who would laugh in Mulder's face if given the chance. Actually, that's probably the real reason I hate him! *is so pleased that, after almost-five seasons, the show has finally given me a satisfactory answer as to why I cannot stand Jack Shepperd*
Jack points out that he already operated on and saved Ben after Kate begged him to. He's not doing it again. Bitch.
Jack thinks that him trying to fix things was getting in the way, and the
Kate storms off, much to Miles's chagrin. She's there to donate blood, being a universal donor. Naaaw. Eeeew, needles! *looks away, and notes that Kate does too* Juliet finds out that she and Jack were engaged on the mainland. Yipes. Kate gets Juliet to allow Roger inside, and they have a heart-to-heart. It's very telling of Evangeline Lily and the writers' talent, getting us to feel empathy for Roger, the man who beats on his son and, arguably, causes him to become the murdering psycho we've all come to think of as Benjamin Linus. Then Little Ben goes into hypoxic shock, which is something that I'd know more about were I still watching House on a regular basis.
Miles is making this time-travel thing waaaaaaay too complicated. Someone get the Doctor in here. I really need to hear someone saying "It's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-whimey ... stuff ..."
Seriously, though? The stuff on the show happened. Then last season, they started moving through time. They were in 200-, and then they moved back to 1977. It's like they were on this escalator going up, and then they hopped onto the one going down, which started going up.
It'd work better with a picture. I just wish that Lost would realize that we viewers aren't stupid, and if we're sticking with the show after all this time-travel shit, it's because we love time travel highjinks, and understand it so well that we could hold conferences on it. So just ... stop making Hurley and Miles sound stupid.
Miles says "this is out present" and points out that this is also Ben's "past."
Hurley brings up that Ben didn't recognize Sayid when they met, when Sayid shot him as a child. Just off-the-wall speculation here, but ... what if Ben blocked all of this out? Kid's gotta have LOADS of trauma, and sometimes the mind blocks out stuff like that. Hence ... he's met Sayid before, but when he first meets him on the show, he doesn't recognize him.
Juliet sends Roger out for some medical supplies. Roger stutteringly thanks her. Naaaw. Juliet and Kate talk about Ben: the sub won't be back for months, and they can't fix Ben ... but Juliet wonders if the Others might be able to do something for Ben. Huh ... good point! The crazy magical people out in the jungle might fix him! (Then again, if Richard is immortal, maybe he'll just pump some of his blood into Ben, ala Heroes, and he'll be ok ...) Kate insists that Juliet stay, because she's got a life here, and if Sawyer finds out that Kate brought Juliet, he'll kill Kate. I don't think he'd kill her ... maybe insist on a threesome ... but not kill her.
I kinda wish Juliet had kissed Kate before she drove off. *sighs*
In a flashback (in which we see the Dock Scene from Kate's POV) Kate leaves the Docks, Aaron says he's thirsty, and Kate doesn't answer a call from Jack ... and then discovers that Aaron is missing. She races around in terror, and I can't even articulate how hot she looks because the terror of not being able to find someone in a store cuts off my breath. Kate finds a blond woman who says she was going to make an announcement that Aaron was lost ... but might have been trying to snatch him. Kate huggles Aaron close and I try to control my breathing.
Kate drives up to the Sonic Fence. Ben tells her to tell his dad that he's sorry he stole the keys. Kate looks sad. Sawyer drives up with his sexy glasses, and tells Kate that he's here to help her. Yay!
On the mainland, FYG Kate (sexy, sexy, beautiful, beautiful, gorgeous Kate) is greeted as 'Auntie Kate!' by Clementine and ushered in. She weeps on Cassidy's couch, looking drop-dead-gorgeous as she does so, as Clementine and Aaron (that sounds like a bad Christian sitcom ... or a good Christian sitcom, depending on the story) play in the background and Cassidy is shocked that the other Oceanics want to go back to the
Ouch. Sawyer is helping Kate because Juliet said "No matter what he's gonna grow up to be, it's wrong to let a kid die." He's doing it "for her." Don't worry Kate, I'm still available!
Juliet - in her purple shirt - storms the house and asks for some privacy with Jack. Miles and Hurley all but trip over themselves fleeing the house. "Hey, ask me more questions about time travel" Miles says on their way out. Hee.
Juliet actually show some emotion. She rails and storms at Jack, who is a jerk. I cheer her on. He says that he came back because he was "supposed to," but doesn't know what he's supposed to do. Juliet says that he'd better figure out, and leaves. Ha ha!
By a creek, Kate and Sawyer have a Talk. Kate tells Sawyer about his daughter, and how Cassidy thought he jumped off the helicopter to avoid Kate. Sawyer says that he and Kate would have never worked out. I hotly deny this, but that might be because I fancy both actors and have had inappropriate thoughts about both of them at one time or another. Kind of like That-Guy (whom, btw, I have resolve to NOT have a crush on anymore because he's a bit of a jerk) and The-Girl-Who-He-Likes-and-Likes-Him-Back.
Others pop out of the underbrush, with ragged clothes and rifles. Sawyer is badass enough to get them to take them to Richard and not fuzzle with the truce! Huzzah!
Kate visits Claire's mommy. I'd like to have seen Jack run out "like the room was on fire" personally, but I guess that got lost on the cutting-room table.
Then there is a truly beautiful, touching scene in which Kate tells all (well, not all, if she were telling all I'd be sitting on this couch for two days straight) and cries and says she's going back to the Island to find Claire, and that she's leaving Aaron with his grandmother, Mrs. Littleton. *wibbles* Then Claire says goodbye to the sleeping Aaron, and I almost weep actual tears. DON'T CRY, EVANGELINE LILY! Nooooooooo! *curls up into a ball*
There's a truly horrific second where Richard appears to check Kate out. I wish I was kidding! (Eyeliner Boy swings both ways ... mwah!) Then he says that if he saves Ben, Ben will forget 'this' ever happened, loose his 'innocence' (yick ... don't even want to go there ...) and always be one of the Others. He asks if they still want him to take Ben. Kate says yes. Richard takes Ben. One of the Others says that Richard "shouldn't be doing this without asking Ellie. If Charles finds out ..." Richard snaps that he doesn't care, and he doesn't answer to either of them. Sooooo ... Ellie was the leader of the Others, and Charles was her second-in-command? And Richard was just the weird loner/advisor guy? I wish we had a miniseries called "Lost: the Other Side" about the Others' history. Kate and Sawyer leave one way, and Richard carries Ben into the Ruins (the
In the present (future present: the one with Alive!Locke, Battered!Ben, Cesar, and Mercenary Lady, and possibly Sun and Frank though Christian might have moved them along already) Ben wakes up to see Alive!Locke glowering at him. "Hello, Ben." Ben looks sleep-groggy. Locke says "Welcome back to the land of the living." Ben's eyes are wide open now, and he starts sliding away from Locke, looking genuinely frightened. The beginning of a creepy smile plays about Locke's lips ...
MEEP!
Next Week: It's all about Ben! And he doesn't look even slightly dead, so the Ben/Locke pairing lives on! Also, Ben strides down a dock in a suit with a gun, telling someone not to move. I really, really hope it's not Penny, but everything seems to be pointing at that. Also, Ben came back to the Island to be judged, and we see people in what could be the

Sayid got on the plane in handcuffs (double YUM!)
And why do I suspect that Joss Whedon is ghostwriting the backstories of some of the characters?)
Joss <333
Then Sayid meets up with a fedora-wearing, long-jacketed Ben. GAH! *passes out from the costume porn* (I'm going to send flowers to the costume designer, I swear to god ...)
I KNOW! *__* *sends costume people chocolates to go with the flowers*
(On a side note, I'd like to point out that the Dharma, like the Harry Potter wizarding population, seem to have been plagued with bad-eyesight. Every third Dharma employee we see is wearing glasses.)
LMAO! I didn't even realize, but you're right! XP
I wish that everyone would shut up and just have a foursome.)
lol no kidding! Though I think the foursome would kill us all from too much hotness. *_*
Sawyer is hot when he's in charge.)
Preaching to their choir here, lol. Mmm...
Hurley defects to the Heroes fandom, I mean ... 'goes to make more waffles.')
lol. I think that Hurley and Hiro would get along great. xD
Why do I get the feeling that Oldham is gonna spark a lot of incredibly skeevy fanfiction?)
I thought the same thing. X_x *shudders*
I am very appreciative of the great shots in this scene where the two were almost silhouetted against the bay.)
Oh yes, it was great. <3
Sayid gets chained to a tree (and looks every bit as delicious chained to it as in the promos)

No kidding! And yes, it WAS hot. *_*
(P.S. Whatever her name is, she can capture me any time ...)
LMAO. I agree! XD
Domestic!Sawyer would have been fun.)
That's what fanfic is for! =3
Hence he doesn't want to head back to the Island, because the only way you die on the Island is if you are redeemed, and he doesn't want that!*has given waaaay too much thought to this*)
You can NEVER think about it too much! lol. And it seems to make sense to me!
though I take umbrage at Sayid accusing Ben of letting his daughter die to save himself. Ben was actually distraught over Alex's death, I swear!)
Ben truly was. You can tell from his face alone right after it happened--he hadn't expected they would actually do it, or perhaps he believed the Island would intervene in some way, but even so. I mean, of COURSE it bothered him, that was the reason he took on Charles Whitmore!
and for some reason I believe that she is Neutral Good.)
That makes sense. I don't see her as an evil character.

Bad eyesight: a plague to covert organizations trans-fandom!
lol no kidding! Though I think the foursome would kill us all from too much hotness. *_*
Indeed. But really, that might help them resolve some of their issues. They'd either agree to two standard couples, or open relationships within the four. I just wish they'd finish all of that up, and then let is alone to resolve the rest of the plots!
Preaching to their choir here, lol. Mmm...
In-Charge!Sawyer vs. Domestic!Sawyer ... hrrrrm ... let's just say that I'm glad they're combined at the moment. I don't think I'd be able to choose.
lol. I think that Hurley and Hiro would get along great. xD

I didn't notice that! =O
TWoP confirmed it! Sometimes, I'm just smart like that.
The sugar cube must have given him the power of Fangirl lol.
Heh heh ... I have no idea how bestowing The Power of Fangirl upon someone HELPS in an interrogation, but it certainly seems like they did that!
Assassin/Assassin definately makes for the hottest sex. I have no idea WHY, but that seems to be true.

Hee! Plus I think that Hurley would like the fact that Hiro is an honest person and a good one too, with people's best interests at heart. (A lot of people say they do, but Hiro actually does.)
TWoP confirmed it! Sometimes, I'm just smart like that.)
Hee! Well that's never a bad thing to be smart! It's like how I was right about Locke coming back, and how he was going to get rez'd. (Same thing with Angela's power. I mean...that was rather easy to figure out, so I was surprised that I didn't see any theories about it besides my own out there. It was merely a process of elimination really, as they said that one of Peter's powers would tell us what hers was, and the precog dreaming was the only one that Peter had not been around to pick up from anyone that we had seen had the power.)
Heh heh ... I have no idea how bestowing The Power of Fangirl upon someone HELPS in an interrogation, but it certainly seems like they did that!)
lol. I suppose because we Fangirls can take a lot. As we deal with haters, flamers who denounce our fics, etc.

I was so worried about that for so long. *heaves a sigh of relief* J.J. Abrams wants to give me a heart-attack, I'm certain of it ... does that make me paranoid?
lol. I suppose because we Fangirls can take a lot. As we deal with haters, flamers who denounce our fics, etc.
It's 'cause we're a Nakama.(http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Nakama)
It IS hot. Don't know why, either. But still...yum. <3
It's because of all the ensuing gunporn it brings. At least, that's what it is for ME, personally. It helps that the assassins are usually REALLY sexy by themselves, before they even get into the fighting and sex.
Yup! He definitely couldn't stand Charles to begin with, but yeah, Alex's death definitely was the final straw.
I'm still confuzzled about this 'war' thing. Is it between Ben and Charles, and, if so, what do they represent/stand for/who are they? *really, REALLY, doesn't want to go back to the theory that 'the Island is Purgatory OMG!'*

I know! Why don't they understand?! And yes, that was soo Heroes V2's problem. The only saving grace of that season was Adam and the Kensadam/Hiro. (The pairing is how you and I first met and became friends too!)
Hurley and Hiro could seriously heal the world with their combined efforts. It would be so cute and geeky.)

I'm still confuzzled about this 'war' thing. Is it between Ben and Charles, and, if so, what do they represent/stand for/who are they? *really, REALLY, doesn't want to go back to the theory that 'the Island is Purgatory OMG!'*)
I kind of am too. I think part of it is that Charles wants to get back to the Island, and to rule it again, take it from Ben. And yeah, I don't care for the Island is Purgatory idea, I mean isn't the fact that people got OFF the Island enough to disprove that theory? Although! I must say that this season was great, if only for one reason; the addition of a new plot device/point! The fact that people CAN be resurrected by the Island. It means that we can write that Charlie or Boone comes back, and it'd be closer to canon! It wouldn't be all OOC-ish or anything! Gah, Ilu Lost. Resurrection on the Island is probably the best plot device since The Hatch!

Date: 2009-04-16 05:13 pm (UTC)Oh yeah! Hee ... how the times have flown! (I still adore Kensadam/Hiro, but I don't read nearly as much fic - Kensadam/Hiro or otherwise - as I used to. Simply haven't the time anymore. *sighs* Hopefully after all this craziness abates I can start trolling for more fic, it's getting to be that time of year where the busywork will peak, drop off, and leave me with whole DAYS to slack off!)
Don't forget, V2 also brought us Elle! And the Elle/Claire romance! That was also a saving grace!
(And gun!porn always helps *_* Just seeing loony_lucifer's latest Batman/Joker pic, with Joker holding a gun and all...guh. *is dead*)
Link! Now! Please! *scrambles around in a frenzy* Gun!porn is probably what got me into the Mylar pairing and was why episode 18 'Parasite' was my favorite episode for so long.
Resurrection on the Island is probably the best plot device since The Hatch!
Hells yeah! Anything to make our fics more believable!

Ben's evil dad is nice to Kate)
The Roger/Kate vibes were CREEPY. O_o
(I mean, it wasn't with sentimental music and close ups and stuff, it was one of those 'hey, you!' pecks, but a girl can dream, right?)
lol! I can just picture teh fanfic...
I love Miles. Jack is a jerk. Hurley has surmised that if "Little Ben" dies, he won't grow up to become "Big Ben" (OMG he's speaking META! *flings arms around Hurley)
I love Miles too. <333 But I also love Jack, despite his being a jerk on occasion. And Hurley ilu too for being so awesome. He speaketh teh Meta!
Miles starts a debate worthy of a Doctor Who convention. Hee. I love this insane show.)
lol all of a sudden I would like to see someone do a crossover fic to where Miles and the Doctor talk about the craziness of time travel, maybe Daniel can be there too--wait, why are you looking at me?!
He doesn't have the right to be throwing time-travel babble back at us, because he is not a geek or a believer in such things, he is the man who would laugh in Mulder's face if given the chance.)
Someone should do a Lost/X-Files crossover fic--seriously, why do you keep looking at me!? XP
which is something that I'd know more about were I still watching House on a regular basis.)
Don't feel bad. I keep missing it too. *headdesk*
Miles is making this time-travel thing waaaaaaay too complicated. Someone get the Doctor in here. I really need to hear someone saying "It's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-whimey ... stuff ...")
Hee hee! Miles isn't the time-travel expert, our American Time Lord is! Speaking of...where the hell is Daniel?!!??!?!
(Then again, if Richard is immortal, maybe he'll just pump some of his blood into Ben, ala Heroes, and he'll be ok ...)
Wouldn't Richard have to be immortal? He's been on the Island FOREVER. lol maybe the eyeliner is the key. XD
Sawyer drives up with his sexy glasses, and tells Kate that he's here to help her. Yay!)
Om nom nom. <3
On the mainland, FYG Kate (sexy, sexy, beautiful, beautiful, gorgeous Kate)
Yum. <3 It must be all the FYG-ness. Cause it did the same thing for Sun, that and made Sun a bamf. XP
Don't worry Kate, I'm still available!)
Hee hee! I sure as hell wouldn't say no to her either!
"Hey, ask me more questions about time travel" Miles says on their way out. Hee.)
hee! Just one of the many reasons I love Miles. <3
I hotly deny this, but that might be because I fancy both actors and have had inappropriate thoughts about both of them at one time or another.)
There's nothing wrong with that! =P
DON'T CRY, EVANGELINE LILY! Nooooooooo! *curls up into a ball*)
Awwww *huggles* Yes, it was a touching scene.
There's a truly horrific second where Richard appears to check Kate out. I wish I was kidding! (Eyeliner Boy swings both ways ... mwah!)
Hee hee! Of COURSE he does, did you expect anything different out of Eyeliner Man? (He's Eyeliner Man to Joker's Agent 0f Chaos) lol most characters I ship, they ship both ways. It's not about sexual labels, so much as them liking/loving/lusting after a person.
Then he says that if he saves Ben, Ben will forget 'this' ever happened, lose his 'innocence' (yick ... don't even want to go there ...)
lmao! I never thought about it like that. No, seriously!
Ellie was the leader of the Others, and Charles was her second-in-command? And Richard was just the weird loner/advisor guy?)
Hmm, seems that way! Then Charles took over. I think Richard is in a league of his own. I doubt that Charles would honestly try to REALLY tell Richard what to do; he has a tie to the Island like no other.
I wish we had a miniseries called "Lost: the Other Side" about the Others' history.)
That'd be AWESOME.

*looks pointedly at you some more* (Apparently I've been doing this unconsciously ... cool!)
Don't feel bad. I keep missing it too. *headdesk*
Have you heard about Kutner?! *leaps into your arms, sobbing* OMG HOLD ME!
Where is Daniel? (He's with Waldo ...)
Heh heh ... Eyeliner of Immortality ... *BRAINSPLODE* OMG MAYBE RICHARD IS EGYPTIAN! That would explain the immortality AND the eyeliner! adfajfdalfjaslfdjalfja!!!
(This is just like when I thought I'd figured out everything about Lost last season, and was raving about a black hole fused with a white hole ... but BETTER!)
*huggles Miles*

It's certainly more fun for us slashers that way!
Well, Lost has pretty much been from the A15 folks' perspective. I want more info on the 'Hostiles.'

Have you heard about Kutner?! *leaps into your arms, sobbing* OMG HOLD ME!))
*huggles back* I knoooooowwwwwwwwww *cries*
Where is Daniel? (He's with Waldo ...)
lol! Yeah, maybe we need to start playing "Where's Daniel" when we watch Lost. Maybe's he's in the background working on a Police Box or something...XD
Heh heh ... Eyeliner of Immortality ... *BRAINSPLODE* OMG MAYBE RICHARD IS EGYPTIAN! That would explain the immortality AND the eyeliner! adfajfdalfjaslfdjalfja!!!

Hee hee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love when I can help bring out new thoughts (and hell, there WERE hieroglyphics seen on the walls of the ruins/temple when Ben was being judged and stuff. I DO believe I saw Anubis there; he's judges souls, as I'm sure your aware, with scales, by using the feather of Ma'at.
*huggles Miles*))
*huggles Miles with you* And it looks like we're going to get a Miles-centric episode. YAY.
It's certainly more fun for us slashers that way!)
Definitely!

So do I! I imagine we'll learn many, many interesting things. <3

Date: 2009-04-15 09:40 pm (UTC)I have so many fics to work on it's OBSCENE. And very, very sad, because I want to work on things, but by the time I weasel my way into a stretch of free-time at a computer, I'm too exhausted to do much besides slump, answer e-mails, and then go off to read 'Small Favor' (which is SLASHY AS HELL already and Marcone hasn't even been in a scene with Harry yet!)
*huggles back* I knoooooowwwwwwwwww *cries*
I don't dare watch the episode. Hearing about it ALONE was enough to make me slip down towards 'dangerous fandom depression' for a couple days.
Then again ... Harold and Kumar Go to the White House, yeah? *giggles weakly*
lol! Yeah, maybe we need to start playing "Where's Daniel" when we watch Lost. Maybe's he's in the background working on a Police Box or something...XD
That would be SO AWESOME!
Oh yeah, I used to go mad over Egyptian stuff, especially the mythology, when I was in grade-school (and still do today ...) Ack! I'm behind on Lost episodes! I won't be able to catch up until sometime next week! *headdesk*
Miles? Wahoo! (He deserves an episode. Let's hope he ran into Rose and Bernard.)
I don't think I can work on DWS5 until after Heroes and Lost are over for the seasons. I DID, however, completely re-organize my folders of DWS5 stuff, so once I have the time and brain-space to get to work, I can just work and not have to dig around in panic for the episodes.

I caught the VERY end of the episode, yeah I am not going to watch it alone either. And lol. Harold and Kumar go off in search of the President. XP

(I might add it as an idea for the Lost/Doctor Who crossover I have on my list. All I had so far was The Doctor conversing with Miles, and probably Daniel.)

I love Egyptian stuff. I feel...a very close connection to it. You should definitely like the newest Lost ep, the Miles-centric one! (I hope.)
Miles? Wahoo! (He deserves an episode. Let's hope he ran into Rose and Bernard.)
He definitely does! I won't say what happens except it's a great episode, Ilu Hurley cause you're win, and there is a YAY moment.

Oh that's fine! We don't have too many episodes left to go with Heroes and Lost. It'll be a relief (though also a bummer) when they go off for the season, but it'll leave me with much more free time as well.

And lol. Harold and Kumar go off in search of the President. XP
Yeppers!

Yeah, I know what you mean. At least they've been fantastic seasons (and, in the case of Lost, a fantastic SHOW) and the free time will definitely be much appreciated.

It happens at the veryyyyyyyy end of the episode.
