janie_tangerineOkay, 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.

Date: 2010-02-03 01:19 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-02-03 01:36 pm (UTC)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".

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!

Date: 2010-02-03 03:18 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-02-03 04:07 pm (UTC)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.

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.

Date: 2010-02-04 03:27 am (UTC)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.

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!

Date: 2010-02-07 04:11 am (UTC)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

Date: 2010-02-07 11:30 pm (UTC)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
