janie_tangerineOh God. I think this is my favorite up to now. At least because I had called it after the finale.
Team dear Locke, right back at YOU
1. HA, I knew he was going to turn the wheel. And I knew he was going to be a sacrifice (hey, I wrote some 2000 words of fic about it or something). I'd have liked to have someone else deliver that line especially after last week but HA. Sorry. I shouldn't be glad about it but after last week? Oh, Locke, cosmic payback right back at you.
2. 'And since when listening to Ben ever got you to accomplish something?'
Okay, I might not be Christian Shephard's biggest fangirl but this round? Oh, Christian, you were my hero. ♥ ♥ ♥ I was like 'yes, yes, yes, YES, YES, YES' at everything he said, lol.
3. Also, 'who is your son?' -> 'who is your mother?' (Des & Daniel, episode 1) anyone? Oh God, I miss the daddy issues, I miss the daddy issues.
4. Dear Locke, did I already said cosmic payback? Well, I'm saying it again. COSMIC PAYBACK. -nodnodnod-
5. Why, yes, I'm totally still angry over last week but this definitely helped me with it. *glees*
Team La vie en noir (why, not exactly rose anymore, right?)
6. AWWWWWW, ROBERT AND DANIELLE. God, they were heartbreaking. Poor woman. Also, clearly in the only one drabble I had written with Danielle's POV I had her shooting Robert after he said je t'en prie. Well, fine, what else would he have said, but still. Also, Robert -> hot. Very hot. He kinda looks a bit like His Prettiness, if you ask me.
7. So that's how Montand lost his arm, huh? Did the smoke monster drug the Frenchies?
8. Poor Danielle. Seriously, poor Danielle. *sniffs*
Team OMGJINILOVEYOU
9. Jin and Sawyer reunion -> best thing of the episode. Aw. I mean, AW. AW. AW.
10. Ouch, I don't rationally want Sawyer and Juliet to hook up but on the un-rational level I'd want to see it. Even if since it looks like they're back next week or soon I don't think there'll be the time.
11. Aw, Jin telling Locke not to bring Sun back. Considering that she's coming anyway, good job.
12. Miles -> I'm from Elvino (what was the name?), not Korea. I love that guy. I seriously do.
13. Josh Holloway seriously looks good. Uhm, and him and Jin are the only S1 people left on the island. Go you indeed.
Team oh shit, another one died?
14. Aw. I sniffed at Charlotte dying. I mean, it wasn't a surprise at all but still. And poor Daniel, he was just so devastated. Poor guy indeed. Also, did she say it was Daniel that had told her in the seventies she'd die if she came back? With that damned accent of hers I didn't get it even if I rewinded a couple of times.
15. I seriously hope they get back VERY SOON if that's what happens to everyone whose nose starts bleeding or they'll find a slaughter when they do.
Team people, Ben is one who likes semantics
16. 'John didn't come to see me, I went to see him'. *headdesk* God, dear Ben, you might have made Machiavelli happy for sure but aaaaaargh.
17. Why, why, WHY do they need to cheapen everything Jack says throwing Kate in? I mean, with all the reasons he'd have to strangle Ben, it's 'what he did to Kate' which was the only good thing Ben actually did in four seasons, for what I'm concerned? Ah well, Jack, I loves you anyway.
18. Oh wow, Yunjin Kim was ESPECIALLY good here.
19. SAYIIIIIDDDDD. Okay, he had like, three seconds but three GOOD seconds.
20. No Hurley -> fail.
Team why, she was Dan's mother? SURPRISE!!!
21. DESMOND?? Well, he HAD to turn up sooner or later, but like.. alone and like, walking easy and fine and dandy just like that and then he's 'oh, hi Jack, hi Sun, hi guy I've barely seen, are we all here for weekend at Faraday's, aye?'. I mean, Ben was the only surprised one but.. ah well. But HI DES. Pretty. Very pretty. *licks lips*
22. I can't seriously buy that only Jack, Sun, Ben and Des go back. That'd be the most unlikely combination ever, Des especially. Maybe he stays and has to convince the others? I can't see him going back like that. Not before he talks with Sayid anyway. *wants her OTP back in the same scene*
23. Uhm, Mrs. Hawking -> wtf much? What's that thing with the candles? If they're going back via something like a devil's trap on SPN I'll laugh my ass off.
24. Also, THAT ENDING? When the fuck is next week? That was completely unfair, damn it.
25. Also, Sun being like 'I've found a new friend for you in America' -> WTF? I hope it doesn't mean what it sounded like because seriously, baby stealing? If it was an Olympic discipline Lost people would own at it.
26. Uhm, guess that's all. Wait, where's Claire? Ah well, I guess they're not exactly telling that now.

Date: 2009-02-12 11:29 am (UTC)Damn glad we got to see Robert after all this time. Surprised me when he tried to shoot Danielle - what the hell happened to them down in that hole?
Montand lost his friggin' arm! TOTAL SEASON 1 ARZT SHOUT-OUT.
Sawyer/Jin reunion was cool. Except I was almost expecting Sawyer to be season-1-Sawyer out boar-hunting or something and say "Shouldn't you be catching fish Bruce?" or something to that effect.
Miles is from Encino. They all be kickin' it snarky like that in the hood yo.
Charlotte did say it was Daniel who warned her not to come back, she wasn't sure about it but it was obviously him. But more importantly, CHARLOTTE COULDN'T HAVE CHOCOLATE BEFORE DINNER. That kind of explains EVERYTHING.
Was that Desmond and Ben's first scene together? I'm racking my brains, but I think it was.
SUN IS An AAREON 'SHIPPER. (Best name for it I could come up with.)

Date: 2009-02-12 11:44 am (UTC)See, I was hoping to see Boone. We can send Darlton letters!
Seriously, Smokey messed up with their heads or what? Poor Robert. And poor Danielle, but it just backs up my theory that she was the only sane one on the island until and after the 815 crash.
LOL that would have been nice to see! Ah, Sawyer. *sigh* Encino, ha? Thanks, it'll be useful. Sometime.
Evidently, the fact that she couldn't have chocolate does indeed explain everything. Also, I wouldn't have let her have it before dinner either, one tends to be full if she eats it BEFORE, but whatever.
If you don't count the big meeting up in the premiere's last season where they were both in the group yes, their first scene together.
LOL BEST SHIPPER NAME EVER. LOL. Indeed.
