Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

sorry what happiness have those four ever brought to the series? its just melodrama melodrama melodrama with them

hating on Sawyer/Juliet = flirting with SB imo

HA GUYS REMEMBER TACO NIGHT W KATE

i think my biggest prob with kate is the fact that her sole purpose as a character has been fuck up and derail progression in the plot. and yeah, that happens A LOT in this show, but i really think she has been the primary drag things out tool for the writers.

xposts but once you put those interesting/funny/mysterious characters more into the spotlight they surely lose those attributes. catch 22.

Sawyer's transformation into a successful leader and his stable, happy relationship with Juliet is what I was thinking about there. Kate and Jack, especially together, exist only to create melodrama in others; that's sort of their function in the story.

sawyer also brings great nicknames

lol "progression in the plot."

I remember Taco night. LOST needs more Nathan Fillion.

how? why? funny is still funny 10 episodes later. and if you cant maintain an interesting character over 4 22-episode seasons... well maybe you shouldnt be writing for TV?

sawyer and juliet are the most defensible of the poor four but only because sawyers lolsy nicknames and that season where juliet was mysterious and untrustworthy

so you're saying maybe the lost guys shouldn't be writing for tv...?

dude u can't b funny all the time. sometimes ur just a fat dude who sees dead people.

haha yeah, kind of xp

Sawyer/Juliet rules imo - and any melodrama with them is entirely kate's fault.

i mean the real problem is that its 22-episode seasons instead of 12-episode seasons

max i'd love to see you write good TV instead of CD artwork or whatever it is you do

zinging is my art

Sawyer and Juliet get a pass for me if only because "LaFleur" was one of the show's best episodes.

i'm serious btw

I like Jack's dramatic arc. He started out with all of the hallmarks of the archetypal capable leader and has had pretty much every vestige of that beaten out of him by his experiences both at home and on the Island until he's basically a wild-eyed maniac operating purely on whim and instinct. (also Jack sobbing is always reliably awesome entertainment)

Kate's story is the exact opposite of Jack's; I'm very interested in seeing if she remembers how put together she was post-Island now that she's firmly back in the mix.

OH JEEZ A KATE EPISODE HOW LAME getting posted 634 times is going to get a little tedious though

keep it up, guys, 580 more posts to go

i would love someone to give me a couple million bucks to make a good sci fi show but not even nbc is that dumb

Kate annoys me because she always wants to go along when other people are going somewhere, even when it would make more sense for her to stay put, and because she never tells people important pieces of information about herself or things she's discovered even when it would be logical and right and plot-forwarding to do so because she has so many freaking issues. But she will never, ever be as irritating as Jack, so I ain't mad at her.

big ideas max

And if it weren't for Jack being such a weeping yutz all the time, the show would only be two seasons long, and I really enjoyed 4/5 of the previous seasons, so I guess I'm not too mad at him, either.

I think if Kate started taking control, as she was originally supposed to before the writers backed off from their idea of killing Jack in the first 15 minutes, people would be a lot more positive about her.

also, lest we all forget: wau (linked because hueg)

never was a fan rlly :/ i'd take juliet anyday

max just send 'em a proposal on max and lamp production company llc letterhead

at least a Kate episode has a chance of explaining what the hell happened to Claire.

possibly kate will have to deliver claire's baby in the cab while shooting at feds

btw i think the writers have shown pretty clearly that they can write affecting love stories that dont skimp on the rad sci fi shit that makes this show worth watching!

everyone watched this show for the relationships

the love

and the polar bears

And Waaaaaaaaaaaalt

also, lest we all forget: wau (linked because hueg) - don't get me wrong, ws 4 sure, but she does look like an enlarged elf. Goth Claire, on the other hand..

I like all the TS nonsense re: the people on this show, as if the vast majority of them aren't actually the hottest human beings on the planet (esp. the women)

whoa hyperbole

Naomi still hottiest

How much I enjoy a show usually has very little to do with how hot the actors and actresses are, but I suspect that makes me somewhat unusual.

It's never primarily why I like a show, but hot chix r hot and I am dude, sooo

Naomi still hottiest

truth bomb

Naomi vs Kate vs Sun pillow fight IMO

at least the producers know that the show is just OTT

...which seems like the show's main strength? like it just assaults you with ridiculous nonsense but yr willing to roll with it cuz, you know, it's fun

i actually heard an interview where they praised the actors for embracing how ott the writing/characters are. like... they openly admitted this shit is ridiculous and silly and said it only works because the acting is so great. lol.

"LaFleur" was one of the show's best episodes.

yes!

Naomi vs Kate vs Sun pillow fight IMO

A likely extra on the eventual 6-season DVD box set.

I wish this were not real and was some in-show Mr. Clucksesque viral ad instead.

Sawyer is awesome. Juliet mostly lame after her moral ambiguity evaporated so I'm glad they killed her.

definitely prefer take-charge Juliet heroic action to Kate stuff in the same seasons, though her character was best in S3
