Curious to see what Sayid will do!

Honestly? So am I. Right now I have no clue. (I know what Juliet is doing, and I know how Holly and Ben are going to work to counter Sayid, but I have no idea what he's actually doing. It's possible that he doesn't, either.)

Lovelovelove how you inter-cut the Ben/Charles conversation with the rest of the scenes in this chapter. Cinematic.

CHARLIE. He is my third favorite character, after Ben and Hurley. I was so jazzed to see you put him in with the 1977 crew in this.

And then Kurt hugging Ben. Talk about a huge Moment, given what we know about Kurt and how rarely he shows physical affection of any kind to someone not his own dad. And that Ben is decidedly not that kind of person either. I just really really liked that.

It's interesting -- I do feel like there's kind of this unspoken thing between Ben and Kurt, where they're looking after each other primarily for Blaine's benefit, because Blaine wants them to, but they're also starting to get a little closer to each other as they go along. They have an interesting connection.

Changing the 1977 crew has been a lot of fun. The DHARMA Initiative becomes very, very different when the people joining are Kate, Charlie, and Shannon, as opposed to Juliet, Sawyer, and Jin.

And, NGL, writing Charles Widmore was maybe the most fun out of all of it. His manner of speaking is so... distinct.

Right?! Alan Dale's voice is distinct already, then add Charle's Widmore's cadence and it's so easy to hear him reading those lines. Same with Michael Emerson/Ben Linus.

The Kurt moment with the salad? So him. And so telling of Ben with how he responds to it.

Thank you! I thought Kurt would definitely want to take over as many of the small, practical things as he could. Because Kurt doesn't do helpless. And I think Ben understands that.

(Also, he really does have Blaine nagging him to eat something, or to eat something healthy a lot, so he's used to it.)

So intriguing to see a flash of dangerous-Ben, and to see some of his backstory.

I like Walt a lot; he feels very real (and I wasn't sure if he was real in the last chapter, so). And Wes! Lots of messed-up boys here.

lookninjas February 27 2012, 15:15:18 UTC

WES. He is in such a dangerous situation right now, and yet to a very large degree, he's kind of sitting back, watching, and very carefully making very small moves here and there in order to prevent awful things from happening. He might not be related to Sun, but they do have an awful lot in common.

And Walt. Walt is real, and really attending Dalton. And he's definitely messed-up. Poor lamb.

There will be more dangerous Ben, I promise. No one hurts his son. NO ONE.

Reading this chapter I basically went Charlie!! Jin's Alive!!! What the hell is going on ( ... )

midasu March 5 2012, 04:27:46 UTC

Also, Wes knows whats going on (at least sort of)! What!! And I loved Walt. I felt like someone needs to give him some hugs. It's like he and Blaine are like friends but haven't really meet each other in real life but have this bond of common weirdness.

And Artz! I sort of feel bad for him because his family doesn't love him anymore because he basically ruined their lives. But he did ruin their lives, so that's on him. And he is choosing this whole island undercover covert stuff instead of them but he is so bad at it and has no clue that he is the worst at it.

TBH, the more I write Arzt, the more I feel sorry for Karofsky. Like, "Dude, that's your father? I'm sorry. He's awful." And the thing is, I'm basically writing Canon Arzt. I really haven't changed that much ( ... )
