Lost 6x01/6x02 'LAX'

[janie_tangerine]

Okay, this is my real reaction post.

Team reboot

1. Uh. Hi. I liked the reboot. A lot. A real lot. Even if I'd really like to know how they're going to deal with it because seriously? How are they ever going to reconcile the timelines? O_O whatever, I'll just see it.

2. Reboot!Jack is delicious. In every sense of the word.

3. DESMOND IS ON THE PLANE WHAT WHAT WHAT I NEED THAT EXPLAINED. Also for a minute I shipped Jack/Des again. Good times. And he was reading Dickens, right?

4. Rose and Bernard = <3333333333333333333333333.

5. Sayid's I COULD BE OF ASSISTANCE before going all Chuck Norris and kicking the door was the second-best part of the whole reboot imo. Also, Jack CPRing Charlie = nice touch. With Sayid instead of Kate? NICER. ;)

6. I actually liked Kate. WHUT. And I actually liked Kate and Sawyer in the same scene. WHUUUUT. Something is wrong with me.

7. CHARLIE!! Even if for ten seconds but CHARLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

8. YAY CLAIRE!! For one second but whatevs. And was she on the plane? O_o

9. Frogurt + Arzt = I APPROVE. Except WHERE ARE SCOTT AND STEVE???????!!!

Yes, that's the shit I care about.

10. Hurley is always awesome. And I love his bromancing with Sawyer.

11. I loved that scene with Jack and Locke. It was just so great not to see them at each others' throats, and I had missed S1 Locke so much that I just sort of really was tearing up. Awwww. And wait a sec, did Locke say he had knives in his bag? Then how did Jack know if he obv. doesn't remember?

12. Best for last: YES, THE PENS AND BOONE. WHEN JACK WAS LIKE, 'I NEED A PEN', I was like 'SEE? SEE? IT COMES BITING YOU IN THE A**' *cough* and that said, it was barely a minute but IT WAS BOONE. AND HE WAS BACK. <333333333 I MISSED SHANNON BUT DAMN it was more than I had expected considering I've been going three seasons without. And I actually liked that conversation with Locke even if after the 'I'm sticking with you' I was like NO YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T but hell, whatever, it just was good to see them talking and I had missed them and I don't really care about the rest. Also Locke lying at Boone like that was sort of really awwww inducing at least because I finally got to feel some sympathy for Locke again. Aw. Darling I had missed you. <3333333333333333

Team WE'RE BACK IN 2009 BITCHES, where's the party?!

13. Okay, I'll admit it: I should have been a lot more moved. I mean, considering that atm Sayid is my favorite character I should have been freaking out, but I wasn't. It makes me feel bad but most of the time I was thinking that damn, he really had to be the resident Chuck Norris if he was still alive when they got to the temple after bleeding out all that time and being manhandled all that time. Seriously, Sayid, you win for resistance and for resurrections.

14. That said, if he didn't bite it now, then I want to say that he isn't biting it anytime soon. I mean, fuck, I have been dreading his death for two seasons but considering this, I'm starting to think that he'll be the only one left alive in the end.

15. Juliet = :((((( damn. Even if during the last season I was mostly WTF at the character development (or, un-development) it still sucked that she had to die. I mean, now what, how many female characters we have, four? One of which is freaking ILANA? Blaaaaah. I do not approve. Also, damn, that scene with her and Sawyer was sweet. I didn't really ship them and I'm not shipping them now, but still, aww.

16. Hi. I still like Jack. Oops. *hides*

17. Hurley, you're AWESOME. I love the guy. He's my constant in all this madness.

18. Miles is also awesome. He needs to be more around though.

19. Sawyer, say it all you want but I doubt you'll kill Jack. He's too relevant to the plot.

20. The Other Others are confusing. What? And why is Cindy with them, wasn't she with Ben's others? As the two kids? And who is the Korean/Chinese/Asian guy? Idk all the time he was on I felt like I should have enough elements to guess it but I couldn't come up with anything. And his bff there looked like the hippie guy who had the two AM slot in The Boat That Rocked, which led me to call him island Cat Stevens but I'll stop there. Whaaat.

21. Also, ashes keep the smoke monster off. Right.

If Supernatural is doing everything to crossover with Lost, surely Lost isn't doing anything not to crossover with SPN. That said, the CGI was epically bad.

22. I missed Jin and his lovely arms. For the rest I'll admit that for most of the time in this part I was like 'well, WTF, WTF, LOL forever'.

23. Clearly Jacob is dead and... HE'S PRETTIER THAN HE WAS BEFORE! *snort* Though when Hurley was left alone with Sayid I was like 'okay, now Jacob is going to come out of the woods and save the day' and it happened and I was like 'duh, when did I start guessing this show?'.

24. Well, now I want next week.

Team we need more Frank.

25. Well, that's all I have to say on the at-the-foot part. Sincerely? Frank my dear, thanks for being the only idiot making sense.

26. Ilana needs to gtfo now.

27. Fake!Locke needs to do likewise. Even if TOQ is good at playing evil, that's for sure. Also will they fucking tell his name so that at least we don't have to resort to stand-ins? Also, f!Locke talking about real!Locke that way was blah. It made me even feel sorry for r!Locke even if we were done professionally for a while. Also good to know that he's the smoke monster, but wasn't the smoke monster mechanical? Or anyway you could call him? O__________o

28. Duh. I had always assumed that Richard came on the ship but that he was a second mate or something. Now if f!Locke says he was in chains then it means he was a slave? Iiintereeesting. If only because of the totally 19th century romance with sci fi elements novel that Richard/Jacob might become, lol. Okay, sorry. I can't help that.

29. F!Locke, hands off Richard. Thanks.

30. Seeing Ben being mindfucked for once is highly amusing, but if it turns out that I'll have to cheer for Ben against f!Locke I'll throw a fit. Also er, f!Locke knocks Richard out like that and no one helps? Niiiice.

31. Overall: it needs more Frank.

32. This show overall needs more Frank and more zombies I think, but anyway. I'm liking this better than the S5 premiere. I'm liking the reboot in the 'OMG FANFICTION!!!' way, BOONE WAS BACK FOR TWO MINUTES which is more than enough to make me happy, I'm just going along with the wtf and well, damn, I always said that this show is crack on a stick masked with angst, so I'll just go along with it and see what the hell are they doing.

33. Last thing which I should've said in the team reboot, but it was interesting that the plane not having crashed and Des being on it (I guess at least) meant that the island was long underwater. Also.... the Dharma shark was the most amusing thing of the whole deal. I approve of the Dharma shark.

34. Really last thing: why every time that someone dies in this show they don't have their famous last words? I mean, Boone died mid-way, Juliet didn't get to even start them, Charlie had to write on his hand, what.

Overall: I liked it. And at this point I'm just going along.

Also, I might want to write something because there's a reboot scene that needs rectifying. Sometime I will. And now I'll be off studying and not trying to make sense of this because however they're solving this it'll be crack stuff and I just don't even try anymore.

Do you mean Boone actually showing up with pens? Because that would be good to write :D

I loved it. I can't help myself, I'm such a Lostie :)

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Do you mean Boone actually showing up with pens? Because that would be good to write :D

You read my mind. It'll be on your fl sometime this weekend. Has to happen. ;) ;) ;)

And ha, I liked it too!! It was a good premiere. And whatever, at this point I'm sticking until the end. ;)

[elliotsmelliot.livejournal.com]

I have to teach in 20 minutes - so this will be quick. We're watching Dr. Stangelove today so I don't have to really review my prep.

I was underwhelmed by everything, which is better than The Incident. But I feel very distant from everything.

I did like see humble Locke return in the AU and his conversations with Boone and Jack. (Yes, he did mention he lost his knives.) I was surprised Boone didn't pop up with a pen. I guess Kate stole them all! I hope there is more Boone for your sake.

So are the slight differences on the plane proof that everyone has been influenced by their other timeline. Like maybe Michael never gave up Walt? Was Charlie suicidal because he couldn't get his band back together or because the fact he was going to die had been so ingrained in him. Or is Shannon not being there proof of Maggie Grace's movie career?

I'm bewildered by Desmond being on the plane. That was a shock. And yes, unless he knows more than he is letting on, he probably thought Jack was coming on to him!

Dharma shark? I missed that! Is it swimming around with Christian's coffin and Locke's suitcase full of knives.

F!Locke, hands off Richard. Thanks.

This is the only part I really felt something! The chains are an interesting detail. In my backstory for Richard, he was a mutineer. I had it like that because I couldn't see a slaver being rewarded by Jacob. But meh - Jacob. That man/god is not too consistent in his morals anyway.

Bleh - Illana. That part needed more Frank and Sun. It made me think if Sayid is now Jacob. And if so, was Frank the original candidate for that?

I have nothing to say about the Swan team other than yay Miles. I have very little interest in Jack/Kate/Sawyer right now, even as individuals. I really hate all the new Others, even though Cat Stevens is Sol from Deadwood. I did like Hurley sitting by Sayid after he "died". Great - let's bring Juliet back to kill her all over again.

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

AHA, so that's why Cat Stevens was reminding me of someone!! Thanks for that, it had been nailing at me since I saw his face. Am I wrong or a lot of people from Deadwood are starring? Now I just need to find out where I did see Claire's taxi driver because he's nagging at me too.

That part needed more Frank and Sun, I def. agree there. Ilana needs to be the next smoke monster victim, which I guess that considering what happened to her friend shouldn't be too hard to achieve. Jacob is a man/god of very loose morals but still, Richard being a slave is an interesting development.

Word about the Swan team being mostly yay Miles. I guess that Juliet being back like that at least made her die with some closure but still, blah. Hurley is our only hope in that group I guess.

Dharma shark? I missed that! Is it swimming around with Christian's coffin and Locke's suitcase full of knives.

IT IS! It was at the beginning when they did the underwater thing.

unless he knows more than he is letting on, he probably thought Jack was coming on to him!

That was a pretty subtexty scene, I'll agree. *cough*

I like your theory on the differences between the reboot and the original plane. Suicidal!Charlie isn't good at all. :// And lol yes, Shannon isn't probably there for that reason.

His Prettiness said he would be there for three episodes at least so even if this counts as two it means he's around for at least another one. Then again he's a recurring guest star or so it seems, so.. *hopes for more* And I'm probably writing the pens bit. It needs to be rectified. And AU!Locke was good to see. It makes f!Locke less painful to watch.

It made me think if Sayid is now Jacob.

That makes sense. And well, uh, that'd be an interesting twist I guess. And it'd make sense too if Frank was supposed to be Jacob in the first place, it'd make sense of all of Ilana's nonsense last season.

Have a great day!! And mm, Strangelove. I love that movie.

[falafel-musings.livejournal.com]

You know how I said I was going to watch some of this? Turns out today that...I just can't be bothered. I saw one or two clips and...I must've forgotten how lame Lost can be. The lines felt so contrived with Darlton self-referencing their own show at every oppurtunity.

Charlie's return holds no real interest. So in universe-1 Charlie wanted to live but was doomed to die and in universe-2 he wants to kill himself but is forcibly revived. So...there's nothing for me to root for in either timeline. I really don't like or agree with Charlie being suicidal.

I kinda feel like the ALT might just be really elaborate filler to put off the evil moment when Darlton have to reveal their no-doubt stupid answers to this show.

How come they resurrected Sayid but not Juliet?

[elliotsmelliot.livejournal.com]

I was pretty flat about everything. Oh yeah, there's Charlie. Okay. *shrugs* Whatever. I was less annoyed about everything than just plain numb.

How come they resurrected Sayid but not Juliet?

Here's the plot answer - "technically" because he was still alive and therefore could be healed. But it is not clear if the real Sayid is dead and his body has been resrerected to be used as a shell for Jacob or the other guy or whoever. Here's my other answer - because Juliet, like most of the female characters, is considered irrelevant to the actual mythology, and served her purpose as a foil to the trainagle. Therefore she was more useful dead than alive.

[falafel-musings.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I had the impression that Juliet died so that Sawyer had something pretty to decorate his biceps with. And if Sayid is now a possessed corpse then...I really can't be watching any of S6.

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

But it is not clear if the real Sayid is dead and his body has been resrerected to be used as a shell for Jacob or the other guy or whoever

I doubt that if only because other guy is obviously Locke (and not even in Locke's body since the body is in the coffin) and Sayid did ask what happened which I doubt he'd ask if he was Jacob. I think it was the same thing that was with Ben and Ben wasn't possessed by anyone or still isn't, so... I don't know what would that mean for an overall character evolution because I guess that the whole Temple healing has something to do with Ben not being an adorable grown-up double of Harry Potter but an evil mastermind, but I wouldn't be too sure about Sayid not being Sayid. Or at least I'm not buying that until they spell it out for me.

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

LOL, it probably is lame. But probably for me it helps that I stopped taking it seriously after the S1 finale or maybe even before because after Boone I decided that if I kept on watching I should have just gone with the crack, so I guess I'm just going along with it. And well, it was self-referencing but then again it was practically authorized fanfiction so nothing I wasn't expecting.

S1!AU Charlie seemingly is suffering from some real timeline universe and yeah, the suicidal thing sucks ass. I liked the reviving though. I mean, probably just because it referenced my second favorite episode ever but I was just like 'omg yes they referenced it!' and ended it there. During the rest of the timeline I was mostly like 'seriously...? Whatever, let's just go with it for the sake of it.'

If the ALT becomes filler I'll probably be pissed, but as long as they give me some Boone time I'll take it and rest my eyes looking at nice stuff.

How come they resurrected Sayid but not Juliet?

Because apparently Sayid is impossible to kill, but I agree with Elliot's answer under there.

Sadly. But considering what they did with Juliet's character last season it was pretty much not redeemable. In the sense, they completely sacrificed her to the quadrangle (idiots) and I don't even have an idea about what she could have done if resurrected, except being tangled in the quadrangle again. Blah. But I had been expecting it all the way, especially because she's a woman. *headdesk*

[marylou-gr.livejournal.com]

Well, you already know my thoughts about this and how I pretty much agree with anything (except the liking Jack part, that's never gonna happen! :P).

Sayid's I COULD BE OF ASSISTANCE before going all Chuck Norris and kicking the door was the second-best part of the whole reboot imo.
Yes, ABSOLUTELY! That was epic, as was the OMG!look Jack gave him at this.
God, this whole alternative timeline thing feels like being reunited with some good old friends! :)

And yes, Terry is soooo good at this! It's a good thing they created and cast such a great Jacob, otherwise I'd be sorely tempted to root for F!Locke for Terry's sake alone.
And once more, WORD on all the useless bystanders not jumping in to help Richard. Especially Ilana who pretends to be all cocky and fierce all the time and then when she's needed, she just stands around doing nothing.

LOL, I hadn't even thought about the famous last words, but you're absolutely right. They're either pointless or overly cryptic, like "you're next" or "they're coming".

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Heee, well, I can't dislike Jack. After Do No Harm I just can't, lol.

EPICCC INDEED. LOL I WAS SHIPPING JACK/SAYID SO HARD, IT WAS TOTAL HERO WORSHIP!

That about the AU timeline. I like iiiit.

And yeah, TOQ is incredible. If it wasn't him playing Locke I'd be sooo more pissed. ;) And at this point I don't even know who I'm rooting for but I'll go with Jacob because f!Locke is an impostor, lolol.

Ilana? Srsly? BE HELPFUL, do something or just be a red shirt. Seriously. Useeeleeeeesss.

No one gets the famous last words! It's unfair :P

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

you know what? going along and enjoying the crack is definitely the only way to have a good time with this show. I should make a t-shit saying "I like mindfucks - I'm a fan of LOST" on the front/back

I agree so frigging much with everything above, seriously.

oh and smokey/Esau could not cross what I decided was goofer dust like in Supernatural because he's a demon *nods* maybe the island is like a big giant devil's trap ;)

More Frank, more Miles, more pretty!Jacob once in a while and i'd be happy. oh and does Sayid qualify as zombie now? a chuck Norris zombie? and word on being harder to kill than a cockroach, jesus! he's never gonna die now!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I started doing that after Boone died because I mean, what the hell, that crushed me so hard I didn't want it to happen again, and it works so well. ;)

HE'S A DEMON! AND YES MAYBE THE ISLAND IS! I like this. It fits with the uber-crossover thing anyway.

I'd be happy with that too. More Frank especially. HE NEVER EVEN HAD HIS OWN EPISODE while Miles and Daniel did. THAT IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. There should be a Frank spinoff, lol. Well, if Sayid is a Chuck Norris zombie then he's safe until the finale. What could kill him at this point?

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

how true! I am outraged! we should start a petition for a spin off, or, okay, maybe just a Frank-centric episode!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

IT HAS TO HAPPEN!! Also because hey, I mean, I remember that last year in some episodes the only thing everyone agreed on was that Frank was awesome and that when the regulars' name came out on Twitter the general reaction shared by everyone was FRANK IS A REGULAR YAYAYAYYAYAYAYAY!!! so he obv. has a fanbase. I MEAN, DAMMIT, GIVE THE GUY HIS EPISODE!!!

[polvodestrella.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to think that he'll be the only one left alive in the end.

Haha, yes! Not that I'm going to complain... *drools*

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Me? Complaining? What? Surely I'd go along with that....

[aurilly.livejournal.com]

5. Sayid's I COULD BE OF ASSISTANCE before going all Chuck Norris and kicking the door was the second-best part of the whole reboot imo. Also, Jack CPRing Charlie = nice touch. With Sayid instead of Kate? NICER. ;)
THIS!! So fucking hot. All of it.

Jack is so great so far. I mean, I actually like him! Both in the reboot and in the on-island stuff. He's gorgeous and not pissing me off at all. Wow.

I couldn't even be sad when Sayid was dead because it was all so oawful and weird. He's my favorite character. I should have been devastated. But I was too busy going, "Whuh?" to feelemotion. And then he was alive!!!! Well-played, show. Well-played.

Clearly Jacob is dead and... HE'S PRETTIER THAN HE WAS BEFORE!
Everyone looked ridiculously hot last night, but THIS. He was so hot I almost cried. And then he was fussing over my bb Sayid. I love this guy. Love him.

Once again, Sayid spent the first two hours of the season passed out and being carried around. Naveen Andrews is really working hard for his paycheck.

It was so good. I am pleased, but I'm really confused about why the island was at the bottom of the sea completely intact (shouldn't the stuff have been destroyed) and why there are now two groups of Others. However, the temple group seems really with it, whereas the people with Richard seem to be a bunch of idiotic boobs who know nothing about anything.

I'm shipping Frank/Sun and I'm not apologizing for it. Needs more Frank in general, but I want them to have some UST. I'm over her marriage and like Jin more in the fray.

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

SAYID SHOULD KICK DOORS DOWN EVERY EPISODE. True fact.

I always <333 Jack, or at least since Do No Harm he does no wrong in my eyes lolol, but this round he was especially delicious for some reason. And yeah, MF looks so gorgeous, uuunf.

Yeah all while Sayid was dead (sorta) I was like 'well, if he managed to survive until now it means he's made of steel' and yeah, I felt more or less like you.

LOL, YES! THAT! And Jacob + Sayid = niiiice. ;) ;)

Naveen works so hard for his paycheck, doesn't he? I was thinking the same thing lolol.

Well, if Desmond didn't push the button (and therefore the plane didn't crash) and it was all caused by the bomb then I guess the island went underwater in 1977? Idk, I was too busy going like OMG LOL THE DHARMA SHARK IS HERE. And yeah, that about the temple people and the Richard people.

Oh, I know people who ship Frank/Sun too. It's badass, lol. Everything needs more Frank. He needs his own spinoff!!!!

[eponine119.livejournal.com]

"island Cat Stevens" LOL!

You are so right about the last words thing. I was thinking of Boone's lack of last words while Juliet was going. (Although mostly I was thinking, why do they always say something like "Listen to me" instead of just SAYING what they were going to say?

I am kinda hoping there will be lots of reboot-fixing fic.

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Come on, you know he's just waiting for a chance to start singing Wild World.

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking about too. I mean, it comes on automatic, but still. Just SAY that, dammit.

The pens thing is mine. I'll write it one of these days.. ;)

[jaydblu.livejournal.com]

Sayid's I COULD BE OF ASSISTANCE before going all Chuck Norris and kicking the door was the second-best part of the whole reboot imo. Also, Jack CPRing Charlie = nice touch. With Sayid instead of Kate? NICER. ;)
Yeah, those were good times. :)))

Hi. I still like Jack. Oops. *hides*
Sweetie, you are not alone. It's okay.


and Miles and Hurley? Luvs them.

Overall: I liked it. And at this point I'm just going along.
Me too. I'm totally along for the ride. I don't have any expectations or theories to what's going to happen, and it's sooo much easier watching it that way.

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

YAY FOR MORE JACK PEOPLE! ;) ;)

And yes, good times indeed....

Miles + Hurley = <33333333333333333

And yeah, I just don't think that theorizing helps. I've been theorizing one specific thing which kind of happened now even if I thought it'd happen in the finale so I'll just go along. I can't even start to theorize, it hurts my brain.

[thespiansparkle.livejournal.com]

Team We Need More Frank FTW. The man wins at everything. He's kind of like Rose (who Wins At Life). So,let's get on that, show.

You already know I agree with you about Locke. It was just... :(((((

hee, Island Cat Stevens. And the whole Other Other Others thing...I seriously had to go back and look via Lostpedia, and APPARENTLY back in, oh I don't know, s3 finale or so? Ben sent his people to the Temple (where he told Rousseau to take Alex and Karl). So maybe that's why she's there? I don't know who belongs with who anymore. NAMETAGS, GET SOME.

Dharma Sharrrrrrk. When they showed the swingset I was like OH SHIT ISLAND UNDERWATER.

Richard GET IN CHAINS NAKED. wait what?

and CLAIRE YAY. I was wayyyy happy to see her. Like a huge tool. I WELCOME HER BACK TO THIS CRAZYPANTS FOLD.

If the reboot scene that needs rectifying involves sex, so much the better.

And I agree--not gonna try to solve, not gonna try to make sense (but I WILL ask a million questions!)--just gonna enjoy the ride. Team Enjoy the Ride, here.

*squishes*

[thespiansparkle.livejournal.com]

oh and also? I don't hate Jack. so you're def. not alone. I DID agree with Sawyer and completely understood his anger and hurt and everything else (and I maintain that Jack's reasoning of "let me blow up the island cuz I lost Kate"--along with Juliet's "if we all blow up then I never lose you"--was TERRIBLE)--but I do not hate Jack. Not on that train.

but why was he bleeding? I'm sure that will mean something, in the future. BUT WHAT.

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Heee, good! Having some Jack love in common is always good stuff. And last season's reasoning was crap, but then again last season's finale was completely underwhelming imo so I'll just try to ignore that. I can't hate him tho. Since 1x20, lol. I'm that bad.

YEAH GOOD QUESTION. O_o AND IT WASN'T EVEN A NOSEBLEED, WTF???!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

More Frank is this season's keyword! And LOL yes, Frank/Rose is the awesome het OTP, lolol.

LOCKE. :((((((((((((((( I WAS SO SAD FOR HIM. :((((

come on, you know he was about to sing Wild World!! ;) And yeah they had split in the S3 finale or something or they already were there. Still. I'D APPRECIATE NAMES TOO, THANKS. That can't be too hard, right?

LOL YES!! TOTALLY!! DHARMA SHARK FTW.

I was happy to see Claire too but jeeeeeez, MUCH? *headdesk*

The reboot needs a lot of sex, that's for sure.

And yeah, team ETR too. I can't be bothered to make sense of it.

<3333333333333333333333

[bold-seer.livejournal.com]

I liked the reboot.

So did I!

Also for a minute I shipped Jack/Des again.

Ha, ha - yes! That was a really good scene, especially because Jack's journey - in some ways - started with Des.

I actually liked Kate. WHUT.

I cheered for Kate. On the run!Kate. Island!Kate can exit my screen now, please!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Yay for the reboot!

LOL, Jack/Des: immediate sexing/flirting pairing, lol. And you're so right! I do approve of it. And Jack/Des is a good pairing anyway imo.

Yeah, I should have specified. On the run!Kate was cool, island!Kate was blah as usual, but I realized that I'm zen enough to ignore her. Whuuut.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

I dread/look eagerly for your comments because I know it'll take me hours to reply to your ideas plus, if I wait all this time, all the stuff in your comments! But I always have time for you, darling, so here I am.

Even if I'd really like to know how they're going to deal with it because seriously? How are they ever going to reconcile the timelines? O_O whatever, I'll just see it.

ITA. There's no way to say "Jack set off a bomb and split time in half...or thirds...or however many different "reboots" we're gonna see or have them refer to. Even if we only *see* one...if there's one then there could be a million others out there, and that breaks my brain. Wait patiently and take Valium religiously. They'll tell us (won't they?!). That's the only way to deal.

Sayid's I COULD BE OF ASSISTANCE before going all Chuck Norris and kicking the door

Now that he's risen from the purified healing waters, though, and appears to be...I dunno, reborn?...can he still kill doors and people with his feet? That's the important question.

And I actually liked Kate and Sawyer in the same scene.

I could never say I "liked" them because I hated them together too badly on the island to ever get over it, but I can see how they could make sense as a pair in the reboot. (Until he and Juliet go out for coffee.) Plus the elevator scene showed us some KILLER dimples. Made it all worth it. ;)

WHERE ARE SCOTT AND STEVE???????!!!

In the bathroom joining the Mile High Club.

Oh, when Boone appeared I used my husband (a pilot)'s earplugs 'cause I could hear you screaming, across the ocean. Also, didn't reboot Boone seem more mature and confident? He was pretty, anyway.

how many female characters we have, four?

And this is a problem WHY??? ;) I was just thinking about the "explosion" of pretty men on the island! *mentally m/m slashes EVERYBODY*

Hi. I still like Jack. Oops. *hides*

It's a small club but I'm glad we're both still in it. And you're cute. :)

I have to stop being all quotey now, but I agree that, slash aside, manhandling Richard is NOT COOL. Richard should not be a pawn in whatever game is being played. He's somehow DIFFERENT.

I liked it, too, and did you notice my glaring omission? MY OTP!!!! BUT OH, HATE MAKES FOR HOTTER SLASH THAN LOVE, YOU JUST WAIT AND SEE. I/THEY CAN PROVE IT. :D

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

LOL sorry, I'm so verbose!

Wait patiently and take Valium religiously

Probably that's the only sane way to cope. I don't dare thinking what they're trying to do with this. I already couldn't get stuff on this show when it was a regular timeline, I don't even try to get this clusterfuck XD

If reborn!Sayid can't be the island's/reboot's Chuck Norris I will be very, very disappointed. :((( It wouldn't be Sayid if he didn't kick doors down!!

Mm, yes, the killer dimples. Mm. While Sawyer/Kate is definitely not my thing and never will be I still like it better than Jack/Kate which keeps on making me sick over and over and over (it probably has something with Jack being in a certain OTP of mine but I just ended up loathing the pairing after The Incident), so I'll agree on them both making sense as a reboot pairing. Not that I ship it (or that I ship it on the island either, I'll always take Jack/Sawyer XDD) but it'll probably annoy me a lot less than I'd have thought.

... right, I forgot about the bathroom. YAY SCOTT/STEVE!! ;)

... oooops. I hope I didn't hurt your ears too much! ;) Yeeees. It was me and my GLEEEEE! ;) ;) hey, I missed him. I hadn't seen his face for three years!!! I'm justified in my squeeing! And yeah, he did seem more mature, which might have to do with His Prettiness not being 25 anymore (well, he's thirty but you know XD) or with else, and I'm very intrigued if it's else. That said, PREEETTTTYYYY. <3

HA, you have a point! Okay, I'll take it back.. PEOPLE, SLASH YOURSELF! NOW! ;)

Hee, thanks! And yay for club Jack. We stick together!

ONLY JACOB COULD MANHANDLE RICHARD, IF YOU ASK MY OPINION. Not f!Locke, uuuuugh. (Tho, TOQ has to be quite strong to hoist Nestor Carbonell like that XDD) Richard needs to wake up and kick ass. And YOUR OTP HAS SOME GOOD UST. IF THEY KEEP IT ON... ;)

Lol, this is AMAZING.

I also liked the reboot/alternate timeline/whatever that's happening. I'm thinking about that, too, how they could possibly reconcile both universes at some point in the season, so I'm interested to see what they come with up.

And Boone! I squeed for you when he came on the screen. ;P

Heee. I like doing loltastic reviews. It keeps me sane.

I like the reboot a whole lot. Maybe because I still hope that it ends up with their lives being less miserable and that if/when it merges with the regular timeline everyone's lives become less miserable.

Yes, I hope in vain. ;)

And heeee. I was VERY squeeful. ;) ;)
