Yunjin Kim is my hero. Seriously.

OMG. This was TOO awesome.

So I was there watching the commentary for Ji Yeon and at one point we come to Desmond and Sayid on the freighter. Transcript:

Director: Sayid and Desmond make a cute couple.
Yunjin Kim: I think it's about time we have a gay couple on our show.
Daniel Dae Kim: Very friendly would become extra friendly, then.

Seriously. I love commentaries but this one? Made my day. See, she's a slasher! And the director totally is, too! *giggles*

Hey, I don't think I'll ever be able to watch I Do ;) I didn't mind Ji Yeon that much but I mostly wanted to know what they had to say on the Desmond and Sayid business mostly for ficcing purposes. Though I get that you don't watch the commentary for an episode you don't give a damn about ;)

Well, you're not missing anything by not watching the commentary on I DO. Unless you are stupid, nothing they say isn't already explicit in the story so far. Or unless you are interested in JH's marital life or his twelve-year-old jokes in EL's state of nakedness.

I actually don't like I DO at all as an episode, but it's very useful and eloquent in my war against the world. It's the easiest, most direct statement ever made about who Kate is and who she wishes to be and who she cannot/won't be with Sawyer. Of course, it's enough with watching it once.

Once is too much for Ji-Yeon. I'd like to know which statement that episode makes. What it adds to the story. What is the point of it. What storyline follows or triggers. It's such a literal waste of narrative space.

LOL no, I sincerely know already enough about JH's marital life. More than I'd care to know about, blame your Sawyer obsessed friend.. ;)

Ji Yeon doesn't really make much of a statement, I agree. I just took it as a filler which happened to have scenes with pretty people thrown together, nothing more than that. Of course there has been much better with Lost, though there's things I liked worse mostly because they really did bother me (like the island part of Fire + Water. That made me angry. And I kind of hate that episode for real).
