Would you look at that? I'm finally posting about Lost! (The post brought to you by the fact that I should be sewing buttonholes at the moment, but -- have you ever tried sewing buttonholes by hand? Fact: IT IS A PAAAAIN IN THE ASS; in this case, a pain in the ass x8.) Also, I just listened to/watched the new podcasts (NEW PODCASTS NEW PODCASTS NEW

Addendum: it just occurred to me why Sawyer's rage grated -- when I first watched S5, I totally got into Sawyer/Juliet's happy Dharma life and sympathized with their desire to hold onto it (because, really, they lived with the Dharmaites like ten times longer than they did with the 815ers, so I can understand their attachment) -- but at the same time it's also a really selfish perspective for everybody else who didn't find miraculous time traveling true love, and that really stuck out to me a lot more upon rewatch. Sawyer's whole, "We were fine! We didn't need rescuing!" -- uhhh, Jin, anyone? WHO HAS A WIFE 30 YEARS IN THE FUTURE? A daughter he's never even seen before because he's trapped in time? I'm pretty damn sure he'd like an opportunity to go home. And while we still don't know what happened with Claire, Kate certainly had good intentions in coming back to find her and reunite her with Aaron. So I think it's unfair for people to say that Jack had all the selfishness on his side in the debate ("I had her and I lost her" comment aside, GRRRAWRRRARGH I'M STILL PRETENDING THAT LINE NEVER HAPPENED) -- there was so much at stake, and yet it seemed like Sawyer and Juliet kept reducing it to the fact that they wouldn't be able to play house on the island any more.
