LJ cuts, why do you hate me so? I give up on you. Just click the first one.
Lost 6x03 Episode Reactions
First, let me just go on a tangent about how much I love hardcore Kate. I love her. I love her so much I could scream. I love hardcore Kate. When she goes back to her criminal tendencies, I am overwhelmed with happiness. I'm not sure of the reason, but there is a distinct chance it has to do with my attraction to her. When I first came out to my friend Sam, she told me, "Well, that explains why you've always been much more obsessed with Kate than Sawyer." Hah. I love Kate. Especially hardcore Kate. Because of this, I loved this episode. I loved it a lot. Moving on, then...
It seemed like for a moment Kate recognized Jack out by the taxi cabs. Whether she recognized him from the flight as the guy she stole a pen from or not, who knows. But there were several deja vu moments in this episode that I sense we will be seeing a lot throughout these sideways flashes. Kate with Aaron's penguin, for one. Anyway.
So Sawyer escapes. I love the way he looks at Kate when he says, "Don't come after me." Even if you didn't see the promo, you just have to know in that moment that she's gonna come after him. Haha.
Kate telling the Others, "I can be very convincing when I want to be." I was cracking up. It's so true, and it was so obvious they were the ones being played. Oh, criminal Kate. I adore you.
In the flashsideways when Kate gets her handcuffs off, and she's all, "I'm wanted for murder" all casually and whatnot...haha, oh I simply love it.
Sayid getting tortured just kind of made me laugh with the irony of it all. I used to like him a lot as a character, but he has slowly but surely made it onto the list of people I really could care less about. I wouldn't have minded if he died in the premiere. I really wouldn't have minded. I simply don't care about him anymore, and that thought somewhat saddens me. Remember when you were cool, Sayid? You used to be so awesome. You snapped a man's neck with your calf muscles. You were intense. Now you're blehhh and infected of whatever.
Kate/Claire is my new femslash ship. Just saying. I like what I see. And quite obviously, it would seem that Kate is meant to be involved in Aaron's birth in some manner, no matter the reality.
Kate escaping from Aldo and the other Other? So kick ass. I remember so well when she knocked Aldo out in season three. Because she was being super awesome hardcore Kate. And I'm pretty sure we all know at this point how I feel about criminal Kate.
I think it's pretty awesome that they're bringing the sickness back into play. I'm really excited to learn more about this. And learn that it wasn't some craziness that Rousseau created in her lonely mind.
Hurley asking Sayid, "You're not a zombie, right?" I just about died of laughter. Oh, Lost and zombies. I wish season seven were happening because I want the zombie season. I want it. Hahaha. Oh, Darlton.
Jin was all, "Who do you care about, Kate?" and I was all, "Really, Jin? Really? We're on the sixth season and the love triangle still hasn't been resolved. You think she's gonna tell you right now in the second-ish episode of the season?"
Kate finally meets up with Sawyer, and his level of obvious despair made me want to cry. Kate trying to walk away without being seen...gah, they're lovely together.
LOL LOL LOL LOL ETHAN. That is all.
The dock scene: so. freaking. beautiful. and so sad. With a mildly amusing moment thrown in. Kate said, "I'm sorry I came after you." And Sawyer said, "Which time?" I laughed loudly at that. I did. Oh, Kate. You're always slightly unwanted, but everyone loves you anyway."
Anyway. Right. Dock scene. Sawyer blames himself for Juliet's death, naturally, and it's very sad. He was in so much pain...very nice acting on Josh's part. It was incredibly realistic. I cried when we saw him cry. We really saw Sawyer cry - for real. That state of vulnerability was so intense I thought I might break. For real. So touching and so sad and so meaningful that Kate was there with him during it.
Sawyer said, "I didn't want to be alone. You understand that, right?" UM HELLO, HE JUST ADMITTED HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE ALONE AFTER KATE LEFT HIM AND THAT WAS WHY SULIET HAPPENED. HE SAID IT, PEOPLE. It doesn't make what he had with Juliet any less real. Because that love ran deep. You can't deny that. But the fact that he admitted that to Kate just shows even more how vulnerable he was in that moment.
Sawyer saying, "Maybe some of us are meant to be alone." That was just so sad. He's so broken. I expected it, of course, but still...it's a little hard to watch.
Sawyer leaves, crying, and Kate cries, probably for everything. Still, sad.
Jack took the pill LOL you're dumb, Jack. Just saying. Or maybe he's smart. I don't know
Looks like sideways!Kate likes the name Joan Hart, too.
Sideways!Kate saying, "Would you believe me if I said I was innocent?" Well, uh, no, I wouldn't. You kinda killed yo daddy. But maybe in sideways world, you didn't. Who knows. Is it terrible I hope she's not innocent? Eh. Whatever. My moral compass is a little screwed up when it comes to my Kate obsession, I'll admit.
Seeing Aaron's two mothers together was so lovely and so sad in the sideways flashes.
Talking about the infection/sickness/claimed/darkness of the heart: "It happened to your sister." I was basically like ZOMGWTFFFFFFCLAIRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
And then she showed up. Totally called it. Just sayin'.
Over all...I loved the episode. Mid-sideways flash, I teared up and started flipping out a bit because I realized there is a good possibility that what we just watched was the last Kate-centric episode ever. My favorite character. No matter how much people tend to hate Kate, she will always be my favorite. And What Kate Does possibly being the last Kate-centric episode of Lost? Goodness, me, I am saddened.
Anyway. I love Lost. The end.
