I’m a Battered Watcher

Those who know me and Bear know that I have excellent taste in romantic partners but unfortunately, my discerning judgment doesn’t extend to television shows. I have had deplorable luck with the two to which I’ve been (slavishly) faithful: first The X-Files and now Lost. I have come to hate both shows in ( Read more... )

Holy crap I COMPLEEEETELY agree.

Hahahaha Jacob from the foot.

It really sucks when you're trying to explain your devotion to a show which, by the standards of anyone catching bits of the most recent season as their first and only introduction to the show, is entirely unjustified. I really, really wish my roommate Kate would watch season 1 since I still believe it's one of the best things to ever happen to TV, but every time she walks by the TV at a moment of horrendous melodramatic dialogue or absolutely ridiculous-sounding revelations, I see that chance fizzling away. Ugh.

The one thing I really enjoyed about the finale was THAT'S NOT LOCKE. I also called it, though I didn't have any well-defined reason...it was just a lucky guess that he was in the box.

I knew it wasn't Locke from the instant he came back to life. There was that weird thing in the Ben-centric episode in which he called Smokey and he said it emerge from the jungle...AND LOCKE SHOWS UP FROM THE JUNGLE. It was then I went, "Wait..."

And then the fact that we never saw Locke and Alex in the same place together made me go, "...hang on a minute, is Smokey masquerading as Locke?" That's my theory.
