Lost 6.16, aka the LAST EVER NON-FINALE EPISODE OH SWEET LORD THE WORLD WILL SOON BE OVER
The only thing I have to say about tonight's Lost is the same thing I have to say every time a certain character shows up in the sideways...
DAVID IS THE CUTEST FUCKING THING IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. JACK AND DAVID MAKE ME SO HAPPY I COULD LITERALLY JUST DIE FROM THE EXPLOSION OF RAINBOWS AND FAIRYDUST SHOOTING OUT OF MY HEART. ADD CLAIRE INTO THE MIX AND THEY ARE SO CUTE THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW WHAT NO AUGH WHY ARE THEY ALMOST OVER.
...okay, obviously I have other things to say, too, but that was the forefront. SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY I NEED JACK/DAVID IN MY LIFE FOREVER. OH MAN I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
Equally adorable: ALEX. DANIELLE. BEN. ALEX/DANIELLE/BEN. HAVE I EVER MENTIONED THAT I CRACKSHIP BEN/DANIELLE? BECAUSE I DO. A LOT. HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW ARE THEY ALL SO PERFECTLY CUTE. DR. LINUS -- BEST EVER. "I'M MAKING A CITIZEN'S ARREST!" I CAN'T DECIDE IF I'M ROOTING MORE FOR HIS LOVE WITH LOCKE OR WITH DANIELLE BUT EITHER WAY -- AGAIN WITH THE OVERWHELMING LOVE, I JUST CAN'T EVEN COPE.
Guys. Seriously. WHY AM I SO INVESTED IN THE ALT. :( It's probably all going to hell (I don't care if he has a special multiverse-spanning purpose, AU!Des still freaks me out); and, anyway, even if it doesn't it will ALL BE OVER ONE WAY OR ANOTHER ON SUNDAY. When will I actually be able to accept this. Answer: NEVER.
Thoughts on actual plot things:
-Jacob's explanation? Pretty crap. "I brought you here so the island would fix you. ...And then kill you." Yeah, great work there. Whatever, though, I'm actually not that bothered by how lame it is because I don't feel like that's something that can ever have a satisfying explanation without just being hopelessly circular.
-Oh man, TEAM JACK. SO HARD. ♥ ♥ ♥
-Miles had better be alive. HAD. BETTER. BE. My favorite Freightie, please stick it out. :(
-BEN. I... don't even know what to make of him. I have to believe that his double play against Charles is going to turn into a triple play against Smokey. I really can't believe that they would end his character on a purely villainous note, surely? I'll be honest, though -- it was so cathartic watching him kill Widmore. LIKE THAT WASN'T AT LEAST THREE SEASONS OVERDUE.
-GUUUYYYYYS I... JUST... I CAN'T EVEN... I DON'T EVEN... D: D: D: D: It's all happening too fast! That episode felt like it ran about ten minutes long! And now that the show has decided to be at least 50% heavyhanded callbacks to previous seasons, I spend the majority of the episode going "B'AWWWW REMEMBER WHEN KATE WAS THE ONE SEWING JACK UP OR EKO WAS THE ONE WARNING LOCKE NOT TO MISTAKE COINCIDENCE FOR FATE OR OR OR SHOWWWWW I CAN NEVER LET YOU GO."
