Wooo, I'm a lean, mean, NaNo writing machine!! Okay, yeah, sure I'm still about 4000 words behind schedule. But, a) that's a 50% reduction of where I was and b) this'll all be over in a week so I'll finally shut the fuck up about it!!
Now, on to bigger and better things. Like - television!!
I wanna have Ana-Lucia's babies!! Okay, maybe not have her babies seeing as how Ana's children either wind up shot or mysteriously kidnapped. People can hate on her all they want, but I'll say one thing - at least when Ana-Lucia wants to kill someone, she kills the right person!! I'm looking at *you* Sawyer, and Kate!! And, no, I don't count Nathan. For starters, if he hadn't been pulling his cryptic I'm the Alpha Male bullshit with the paranoid woman with the gun a) he wouldn't have been thrown in a pit and b) Mr. Goodwin wouldn't have killed him.
Heh, Locke finally got some karmic payback by a guy even more cryptic than he is. You go MisterEko!!
I loved the juxtaposition of the Castaways off playing golf and smiling, to the Tailaways who've been through Hell and are falling apart at the seams.
I have a confession to make. Okay, maybe not a confession but anyway, I like Jack. I like that he's wound tight, and kind of a jackass, and stubborn, and just on the edge of cracking. He's who I would be if I were stranded on a deserted island, constantly being asked by everyone what to do and when I told them, they did what they wanted anyway regardless of what I said!!
I'd probably like the Jack/Kate/Sawyer triangle if two of them, I don't care who, just have sex!!! Really, why is it that, after 45 days, the only people to actually have sex are Sayid and Shannon!?! UST's one thing but COME ON!! If I'd were writing the show, Kate would have ridden Jack *and* Sawyer until their eyes rolled into the back of their skulls, alternating between the two of them 'cuz neither has the stamina to keep up, heh. Because she's a liberated 21st Century woman, goddammit, and why should she have to *choose* between the two of them because they wanna play Cock of the Block? Of course, if I were writing the show, Ana-Lucia would have been with the Castaways from the beginning and she and Kate would have turned "The Hatch" into their own personal 'Lesbo Lurve Shack'.
I'm not sure if this show's getting better, or I'm not caring as much just as long as there's plenty of Mariel and Dave, *together* squee!!, on my television screen. Larkin's still dumb as a post, and I'm not particularly interested in Russell either. I still haven't forgiven him for being a complete jackass to Mariel the night of the hurricane. At least the kids were neither seen nor heard this week. Maybe TPTB could extend that for the remainder of the season.
