LA X
I would've had this up last night, but my internet at home went out. WONDERFUL. (this also kept me from sending the next chapter of TRIH to my beta last night, which was annoying, but at the same time it turned out good cause after sleeping on it I decided to change something in the chapter and I like it better now. BUT STILL. GRR.)
Anyway, LOST. Holy fucking shit. I mean, it's great, cause I kind of forgot what a good mindfuck felt like, but HOLY FUCKING SHIT. *deep breath*
God, LOST, I have missed you.
Gah, so where to start...well I guess first off, I freaking loved this episode. I'm not sure how I feel about the alternate reality thing, cause it fucking tugs at my heart the thought of them not knowing each other. This is how much of a geek I am: I nearly cried when Boone shook Locke's hand and got off the plane. I'm a big fan of the Boone/Locke friendship, and seeing them not get to have that kills me. When Boone was all "if the plane goes down, I'm staying with you" I literally screamed at the TV "BUT YOU DID!!! He's your friend!!!" *sigh*
So, other than that...OMGWTF people in the temple...I love the fact that we now have Japanese people living like monks in an Aztec looking step pyramid on an island clearly steeped in Egyptian mythology. It's like a kid cut and pasted from a magazine, and it makes me so happy and giddy and fucking confused inside. I'm one of those people that has full faith this'll all be tied together in the end, and I love the jumble that it is, but damn it hurts my brain, haha
Sawyer...I just...there aren't words. He's been my favorite character from the first time I watched an episode(really before that, because before I even started watching LOST one of my best friends told me how much I'd love him), and I just...I don't know. He broke my heart, definitely. Seeing how much he loved Juliet killed me for several reasons. Obviously, his pain hurt, but I'm an old Skater, and I thought I had mostly let that go because of how mad I was at the way Kate had treated him, but that anger kind of melted away in the scenes they had together. I mean, I'd thought I'd decided I could accept Jate, and that that was the direction Kate needed to go, and that I couldn't forgive her all the way from treating Sawyer like shit(and I still can't), but DAMN their chemistry is just so palpable! When he woke up in the temple and she was watching over him and she told him they'd been captured by the others again...there was just so much there it brought tears to my eyes and made me want to finish my old Skate story, AND write some more, and it made me believe in them again. No matter what, apparantly, Skate will always be my LOST OTP. Even when I kind of want to kill Kate.
But speaking of Kate, I was so worried about her in the alternate reality, thinking she'd be going to jail(I'm so used to Supernatural that I nearly wrote 'hell' there, LMAO), and I was so proud of her when she got away. She's so fucking good, it's awesome. her and Claire in the taxi together? PRICELESS. I wonder...will Claire go into emergency labor, die, and Kate somehow gets Aaron? Hmmm...
And Jack and Locke? so much win. Locke doin' the whole 'they didn't lose your father they just lost his body' thing made me so hardcore miss him, because that's the Locke I love. and Jack giving him his card and...yeah. I loved them not wanting to kill each other.
I hate evil dude pretending to be Locke. He can go die.
Every time I saw Jacob at first I couldn't squash the "OMG LUCIFER" in my head, but in that scene he had with Hurley where he was just so sweet and so Jacob he was just Jacob again to me, and I loved him like I did when I first met him last season. It's gonna be hard for me to keep the two separate thought. X.X
The ash they used to protect themselves from evil bastard/black smoke guy reminded me of goofer(sp? haha) dust, but that's the Supernatural freak in my talking again. OH and the fact that he IS the black smoke? wow. just wow. but I'm glad to finally know.
Funny thing is, people are going on like there's still so much mystery, but I think a lot of things have been answered. Black Rock probably ended up in the center sometime when the island moved. Jacob is a good Egyptian god, evil dude is evil. etc. I dunno. Just seems like to me we're getting good answers, and I like that.
But on that note, WTF was up with the whole "nice to see you out of those chains, Richard" thing?!?! *sigh* seriously. mindfuck.
oh, and I don't know what to think of Ben. Good or evil, I kind of love him, but I don't understand him. GODDAMMIT. but, I'll never tell Lisa I think he could be evil, because I don't think he could be all the way and she'll take it wrong. No man that loves his daughter that much is pure evil.
Anyway, can't wait for next week. *huggles show*
