for the meta challenge at thequillstation, part I: Deus Ex Machina
Okay, this be the first part of the metaing I spent the afternoon doing. Well, Kant broke my head for most of the morning. I also re-watched both the episodes and I am seriously, seriously getting worse. Last time I watched Do No Harm I started sobbing at the end, now I started in the middle. Whaatever. I'm doing two entries, I'll link the second
( Read more... )
that anyone who calls his characterization weak obviously skipped this episode.
YES, yes and yes. That's it. And really, that's enough of a reason here. It really doesn't get any better than here. And ha, totally Locke fangirl too... up to this point. I guess it probably shows because I did spend some time on Locke here but I really, really used to like him. Alas.
I'd have liked the purgatory thing, but then again Locke should have... y'know, avoided the whole sacrifice the island demanded thing. Clearly they couldn't make him show he was sorry until S2 and then he decides he isn't anymore but whatever, I can't explain that to myself. Not really.
I had half forgiven him before the sacrifice thing and since I liked him in S2 I cut him slack, but I'd agree with The Brig thing. At that point I just couldn't ignore that I was cutting him slack for Boone and I couldn't stomach the whole Sawyer thing. That was a huge no here and while I know I'll never be done professionally with him for good he just won't get back up where he was anytime soon. I always found his commitment a great part of the character but at this point after five seasons he should have learned something, right? *sigh*
I miss the plot B and the plot C. Ah, when Sayid and Hurley listened to the radio, Hurley bribed Jin for fishes and so on. I miss the fun. I mean, I know there isn't much space for it now because it's what it is, but they also have kind of killed every possible comic relief except for Hurley *rolls eyes*. And doesn't Jack break the oath quite often? Not that when he practically did in the following episode I had anything to say. Ha, he really did buy the ticket to my forgiveness and endless patience there... and yeah, the HP line = awesome. As Sayid was, also without having a single line.
You phrased the thing about Boone and Locke's guilt better than I did in a way longer paragraph methinks. ;) Yeah, that's it. That's exactly the point. I'm surprised that Theresa is not more brought out because that was character development but I don't know if it's generally more taken for shocking/supernatural value than for what it was in terms of actual development but who knows. And yeah, that about the hatch. What did it do to you? Erm. Not so much. *rolls eyes*
Again, definitely glad you did enjoy it! ♥
