lost 6x17 'The End'
Okay, so.
I fucking loved it.
Alright. It was probably full of holes (for one: where the hell were Miles/Richard/Frank etc in the alt?) and it didn't answer a lot of stuff and all that jazz, but I, uh, can't really concentrate on that. Because I'm still busy freaking pulling myself together, dammit. In the end, I wanted:
a) SOME BOONE.
b) alt!Sayid getting a good ending.
c) proof that I was right on being on team Jack all along.
d) FRANK.
e) the lowest possible number of deaths.
f) Vincent.
I got it all. And more, actually. I'm thrilled that in the end just Smokey and Jack died, and tbh, for the first I kind of cheered and for the second, it was so well done that I couldn't have hoped for Jack to have a better arc, if you ask me. He did the big damn hero thing. AND THAT FINAL SCENE. GOD. IT WAS PERFECT. AND VINCENT, OH GOD WHEN VINCENT WENT LYING NEXT TO HIM. I can't say I lost it because I had lost it some time before, but. Well. You get that. I'm surprised that everyone else lived. Because, wow. I hadn't been expecting it. Anyway.
Good stuff:
- Kate. Really. For the first time I liked Kate unconditionally. And I even went awww when she and Jack kissed. WHAT THE FUCK.
- Juliet being David's mom. It kills Jack/Juliet for good but hey. At least, it acknowledges it.
- Sawyer/Juliet. Dammit. I never shipped it actively. I never really liked it that much and I thought that the way they did it in S5 was too easy and I couldn't buy it, BUT WHEN THEY WERE IN FRONT OF THE VENDING MACHINE I JUST PRETTY MUCH WAS AWWWING. Dammit. I loved it. I'm a goddamn sap.
- FRANK. FRANK. FRANK. FRAAAAAAAAAAANK. <3333333333333333 Oh God, yes to Frank all the way.
- Miles/Richard with the possible Sawyer addition later on. God. They were so precious. Also, Richard being alive.
- As I said, pretty much everyone surviving.
- Jack saving Desmond.
- Ben actually doing a good thing.
- HURLEY BECOMING THE NEW JACOB. YES. And Ben being his second? It felt fitting somehow.
Also, I should probably object about the whole Christian religious imagery and stuff but I won't because they've been pushing on it since... duh, S3 at least, and I was expecting it and thankfully I just don't mind. I liked how it ended. I'm not sure that it was Heaven, but I loved that they were sitting on the benches in the church like they were sitting on a plane. (Though Boone being with Sawyer and Juliet was quite amusing.) Also there was too little Daniel BUT HE AND CHARLOTTE WERE ADORABLE.
What I utterly loved and when I lost it:
- Sun and Jin while Juliet was making the scan. I didn't even roll my eyes at them suddenly remembering English, BUT THAT KILLED ME first.
- Hurley telling Sayid he was a good man. FINALLY SOMEONE.
- SAYID AND SHANNON REUNITING AND BOONE ACTUALLY BEING HALF THE MATCHMAKER IN THAT. OH GOD. I LOST IT SO FUCKING MUCH AND OH GOD CONSIDERING WHAT THEY SAID IN THE ENDING IT'S... IT'S... DAMN EXPECT SOME FIC FOR ME BECAUSE OH GOD THAT WAS SUBTEXT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT TO A FUCKING MAXIMUM.
- BOOOOOOOOOOOOONE. AND HURLEY. BABY I MISSED YOU SO. ;____________________;
- Okay, Do No Harm redux was kind of lol because really, ANOTHER BIRTH?, but: a) Boone didn't die again, b) OMFG CHARLIE AND CLAIRE PLEASE HOLD ME. I lost it. Again. I was crying so much I can't even.
- alt!Ben and his convo with Hurley outside the church. AND HIS CONV. WITH LOCKE. Damn, I was so mellow that I bought it all. And fuck, Michael Emerson = good at acting. It felt just... good that he'd ask for forgiveness. Tho reasons = lulzy, but whatever.
- JACK. JACK. JACK. ON THE ISLAND AND IN THE ALT. BEING ON TEAM JACK FELT SO FUCKING GRATIFYING. BABY I LOVED YOU FOR SIX SEASONS WITHOUT STOPPING AND I FELT REWARDED. I LOVED THAT HE GOT TO BE THE BIG DAMN HERO HE IS. *clings* And his death was so perfectly done. YES.
- alt!Locke telling Jack he wished someone could do for him what Jack himself did for Locke. PERFECTION.
- Also, Jack telling Smokey that he wished he could tell Locke that he was right in his face.
- CHRISTIAN. OH DEAR. I USED TO HATE HIM IN S1 BUT AS SOON AS HE APPEARED (also, I understood he was as soon as the coffin ended up empty tho lol, poor Jack and coffins, it's his life/afterlife) I STARTED SOBBING LIKE A MADWOMAN AND THEN I FIGURED WHERE EVERYONE WAS AND.. AND...
- I saw Boone hugging Sawyer and at that I was already *__*, BUT THEN.
- LOST, THANKS FOR GIVING ME ALL THE HUGS SUPERNATURAL DOESN'T. FUCK. JACK/BOONE HUG = YES, YES, YES AND I CAN'T TURN THE CAPSLOCK OFF, FUCK IT. If I was sobbing before, after that I had to rub my eyes in order to see what was going on.
- JACK AND SAWYER PARTING ON GOOD TERMS IN THE REGULAR TIMELINE AND HUGGING IN THE ALT. YES. THAT.
- Rose and Bernard. <3333
- THE LAST SHOT. GOD THE LAST SHOT. It wasn't original much, but it was the perfect closure. Jack. ;__________;
- Fuck, all the hugging in the church scene. Just. YES. YES. *clings*
- Also, then I open the flist and one post on two was like, 'duh, I was thinking of Janie when the Jack/Boone hugged happened' and dammit, people, I love you. And you made me lose it AGAIN even if I had been done twenty minutes before.
- Hurley. <333333333333333333333333333333333 Especially with Jack (WHEN THEY DID THE DEAAALLLL ;___;) and Charlie and Sayid and Ben AND EVERYONE.
- Actually, everyone. I loved everyone except f!Locke but making me like him = huge feat and I can't even attempt it if he doesn't have Titus Wellivers' face.
- The Driveshaft concert. Eeee. DANIEL! CHARLIE! LIAM! CHARLIE IN EYELINER! (Also, anyone thought that alt!Charlie = the character Dominic Monaghan played on Chuck, tranquilizers included?)
Okay, there probably was more and I probably have more thoughts (re: is the alt a limbo where everyone gets to be at their full potential? IE, Ben being the person he could've been if not for Sayid shooting him in S5?) and in a day or two I'll probably be like 'wtf explain me what the fuck is the island and why the fuck did they need to protect it so bad and also, what about the Ajira plane', but right now it feels satisfying. And fuck, it got to me. Hard. ALSO JACK AND BOONE HUGGED, WHATEVER, THAT'D HAVE MADE THE EP FOR ME IF IT WAS THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT IT and it wasn't, so. And now I need to wash my face and go to class and actually study even if I just want to cap the thing and make icons but that'll be for this week-end, I guess. Bye, show. I'll probably miss you. But we parted in good terms and it's what I was also hoping most for. ;___________________; *MASSIVE CLINGING*
