Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

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

itunes currently offering the first two episodes of s1 for free

actually doing this because my laptop would never play my s1 boxset DVDs

Every episode is up on Hulu anyway, and everything but the current season is streaming on Netflix.

oh this might be UK only anyway idk

Something is neat about actors pretending to be themselves several years ago.

Definitely! I love how wide-eyed everybody seems compared to the last several seasons of crazy ass time-traveling, getting shot and mauled by polar bears and smoke monsters. Being more cleaned up helps the effect too.

Caught of a bit of LA X pt. 2 repeat just now. One detail I really liked was right before Kate convinced the Marshall to let her use the bathroom by gazing into his eyes and calling by his first name, Edward... classic manipulative evil Kate!

shit, what did he say, just before the commercial break? stonered glasses dude says "________________?", and the mystical asian guy says "Yes."

he told Sayid he passed the test then said 'i just lied to him didn't i'

L O S T !

loving Kate's constant rebellion and cheating of the system is getting smacked down

this one kinda sucked in a predictable 'third episode of the season' way

Ooh, I enjoyed this one. Or maybe I just greatly preferred tales of sympathetic nu-Kate to old Kate. Dr. Ethan Goodspeed! Jack kinda losing it and laughing at his own questions answered with stupid responses ("What's that?" "A baseball.") was great. Loved that last twist too - it totally makes sense for the show, though I didn't see it coming - that Claire would come back as Rousseau Redux. Possibly Smokey-infected too, though she didn't look at all similar to the way she did the last time we saw her at the end of season 4.

crepey ethan and his weird face

ugh this episode ugh

watched it live via justin.tv. kinda worth it for the advert where a bear catches iphone-like devices leaping salmon-like from the stream.

Dogen on the typewriter was funny

Really hope there isn't another episode focusing on Kate. This really needed more Richard, Flocke and Ben but it looks like they are going to make up for that in a big way next week. Dogen is quickly becoming one of my favourite characters.
