Surely it's more than moonlight and music...
...surely it's more than wine
So dance with me, darling
Show them that you're still mine.

I'm a little worried about my devotion to this journal. More accurately, I'm worried about what will happen when I'm off to school again on Monday. The problem with keeping up a journal or doing anything else on a regular basis during the ( Read more... )
I mostly just like slash in the absence of interfering canon relationships, myself. I do love the manifestos, though.
Lost:
Huh...Why is Danielle watching her long-lost daughter through the bushes instead of, say, coming out to talk to her?
And...Snyder = Vic = Lockedaddy = the real Sawyer? I...interesting. :o
>Oh, and Sawyer needs to lay off the books and get out there and find Kate before the Jackass gets his claws back into her. Especially if he's going to be reading Ayn Rand.<
It took me a liiiittle too long to realize you weren't talking about me there. But...he's reading WHAT?! No, Sawyer. No. You don't want to go there, honey, trust me. Keep on extorting from desperate housewives in your own little corner of the dark side. You don't need to *completely* abandon your soul to evil.
As for the oneesan-> name thing, I don't think I'd mind that in Howl, since the book was originally in English. But in other subtitled anime, yeah, it annoys me. Was it being used to mean "Miss" or "lady" in the movie? If it was, you'd think they could just translate it as that instead of the name.
RE Buffy: Oh, jeez. Individual comic chapters aren't worth it unless you're downloading them free and illegally online. And, uh...Dawn blew up? Did she get in a fight with Harry Potter, or what? And *Amy*. Wow. It sounded like her story was never really finished in the show, so bringing her back was a good idea. I take it from your description that Evil Witches' Anonymous didn't quite work our for her.

Then Kate, Sayid, Locke, and Danielle came to rescue Jack. They found out about the deal, but unfortunately, Sayid and Kate were captured in the process. Locke, meanwhile, had his own agenda; he sought out Ben, got his attention by holding a gun on Alex (who Ben refers to as his "daughter" and who she calls "Dad", even though she runs wild, seems to hate the Others, and always helps out the Lostaways), and demanded to be taken to the submarine. Why? So he could destroy it, because having an available method of leaving the Island is "cheating." Yes, Locke has gone crazy and Island-worshipy again.
Anyway, Ben did this whole Machiavellian deal where he tried to talk Locke out of blowing up the submarine when it was really just what he wanted all along. He didn't want to let Jack and Juliet leave because it was a sign of weakness, but he didn't want to break his promise to them because that would look all deceitful, so he just let Locke go ahead and blow up the submarine. Which he did. And now he's the Others' prisoner along with Kate and Sayid, and Jack is kind of pissed.
Meanwhile, Danielle, the only remaining free member of the rescue party, has to hide in the bushes because there are Others swarming everywhere, so she wasn't able to reunite with Alex when she saw her passing by. The look on her face was pretty awesome, though. (I noticed that they really do look quite a bit alike.)
Also, we got Locke's flashbacks, which revealed that his father the con artist (played by Kevin Tighe, a.k.a. Snyder, Vic, etc.) probably murdered the son of one of the women he conned because the kid was on to him. When Locke accused him of this, Evil!Daddy threw Locke out a three-story window, paralyzing him. Then Evil!Daddy fled the country, and Locke hasn't seen him again until now: at the end of the episode, Ben revealed a bound, gagged Evil!Daddy to him. *dun dun dun*
Oh, and Giant!Dawn: long story short, she dated some guy named Kenny who turned out to be some kind of evil beastie called a "thricewise." Buffy's opinion is that they got vertical, resulting in Dawn's, er, enlargement. Tsk-tsk, our little Dawnie's grown up so fast. Now, I wonder where she got this habit of sleeping with demons? ^_^
And Amy: sooo off the wagon. Found in the ruins of Sunnydale (wonder why she didn't evacuate with everyone else...) along with a mysterious, unseen, unnamed "boyfriend" who seems, from the dialogue of the military, to be something non-human. The military currently has custody of Amy and said "boyfriend", and she's promised to help them destroy Buffy and her "terrorist cells" of Slayers and Scoobies. *dun dun dun*
