Lost 5x04 The Little Prince review

janie_tangerine/exam #1: done. Not my most brilliant performance but I wasn't feeling too good and I didn't even care, done is done as Sawyer says.
Lost: uhm, did anyone hear me scream about one hour ago? *sigh* And it's not that I didn't like it. I just have a FEW major quibbles here. Just saying.
Team dear Locke, you kinda blew that up.
1. First thing: dear writers, when Claire gave birth to Aaron, there wasn't only Kate present. There were also Charlie and Jin present and no, I'm not remembering wrong. If you need to screw around with Do No Harm, do it properly.
2. Second thing: with ALL the times they can flash back to, they flash back to DO NO HARM??? *shriekes* I just... gah, I can't take it. As soon as Claire started screaming I could only think about what was happening MEANWHILE and yeah, right, like I could give a damn about the birth or Aaron or Kate blathering about the child being everyone's or whatever. The only thing that kept me from raging at the screen right then was Sawyer back there because just.. God. Seriously. *hugs him* Also, thanks for having shown the hatch, Claire and NOT the caves. Yeah, because at least I'd have, you know, seen the guy instead of... whatever. And yes, I have issues with Do No Harm and the birth part of it and yes, I'm not over it.
3. Third thing: sorry for the length. Quoting from the transcript here because if I hear it again I'll scream. Also, YAY for the name mention! Hey, probably more than I'll get.
LOCKE: The night that Boone died... I went out there and started pounding on it as hard as I could. I was... confused... scared. Babbling like an idiot, asking, why was all this happening to me?
SAWYER: Did you get an answer?
LOCKE: Light came on, shot up into the sky. At the time, I thought it meant something.
SAWYER: Did it?
LOCKE: No. It was just a light.
SAWYER: So why'd you turn us around then? Don't you wanna go back there?
LOCKE: Why would I wanna do that?
SAWYER: So you could tell yourself to do things different, save yourself a world of pain.
LOCKE: No, I needed that pain to get to where I am now.
One: no, Locke, it wasn't just happening to YOU. Also, no one asked you to deliberately lie about the circumstances. Two: okay, so the fact that you basically saved Desmond's life which is pretty much the only good thing coming out of Boone dying means nothing. Great. Three: YOU NEEDED THAT PAIN? Well, I did NOT, I doubt anyone else did and you didn't seem so fine with it at least until S2. And thankfully as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elliotsmelliot said they spared me the bloody shirt. Just... no. That's not it. I can't believe he said he needed it to get where he is now (which implies he has to die, too. Wow). I'm... well. That was it. Dear Locke, you managed to lose any point you might have gained with me since The Brig, which was the lowest. If it wasn't for Terry O' Quinn being too good at what he does I'd probably be even less nice, but doesn't change that I am thoroughly not happy with this. Fuck off. Really. *goes crying in a corner and tries to plot up some fic to deal with this*
Sorry for the extra rant but I just can't take it.
Team YAY FINALLY SOMEONE REMEMBERED THAT CLAIRE IS AARON'S MOTHER!!!!
4. I was really hoping it was Claire's mother asking for the blood sample... *sigh*
5. No one, no one is ever convincing me that Kate was sincere when she told Jack all that stuff in the beginning. No-one. And I've always been with you? WTF? If someone tells me she lied there too so that she wouldn't go to prison okay, but I'm so NOT buying that. Blah. Kate this episode? I totally could have done without.
6. Ben -> 'he's not your son'. And for the first time I'll nod along and say, THANK YOU BECAUSE WE'RE SICK OF IT. And everybody knows how I feel about Ben.
7. Someone write that kid off that show NOW. I seriously... blah. I can't stand the kid's face or voice or anything. Also, if I think about when he was born... yeah. Oh, don't get me started.
8. Not that it wasn't good for the plot but... I... don't care. Just... don't care.
9. Also, the whole Jack/Kate stuff -> bleah. Just bleah. Just... yes, I can't stomach it. God. I think I need to write Jack/Sawyer.
Team OMG THE O6 CAN BE AWESOME WHEN THEY WANT TO!!
10. Dear Sayid, I love you. I just... you're so awesome. You, your hair, the fact that you'll be a total badass even if you're out of a two-days coma, being all lovely around Jack, driving and whatever. God, yes. I love that man.
11. OMG JACK. You're hot. And you're so still taking some pills or something because seriously, that's absolutely not withdrawal. Apart from the fact that he drank, too, so he should be even worse than if he was in Oxycodone withdrawal only.
12. Anyway, until they go back on the island I'm totally shipping Jack/Sayid.
13. Hurley is just too awesome.
14. And yes, I do realize that me squeeing over Jack and being bitchy to Kate isn't exactly fair but I never said I was.
15. Mm, I'm liking Sun. I can't wait to see what's she up to, especially since she got herself a nice hostage there *cough*. Kate surely knows when she has to trust people.
Team yay nosebleeds and angst all together!!
16. I like that Charlotte isn't dead. And mm, does Miles' nosebleeds mean that he's born there, too?
17. Aw, Sawyer. I just... can I hug him or something? Also, Josh was great this round.
18. And I love that he told Juliet and not Locke *smirk*. Uhm, I don't really know how I feel about the issue. I love them being just friends and I don't exactly want them to hook up because then when Jack and Kate are back there'd be quite the mess and I wouldn't want Juliet to get tossed out, but then again, I guess I wouldn't tear up my hair if they jumped each other. *sigh* Ah well, we'll see how it goes.
Team La vie en rose
19. Okay, I'm the only one or Rousseau's team was made of pretty hot men? Well, apart from the fact that they spoke French and only hearing someone speaking French sends me over the edge, but Robert and Montand especially were very, very pretty. Robert especially. And while young Danielle doesn't exactly look like Mira Furlan she was very nice and well, yay Danielle indeed.
20. JIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Well, okay, I knew he was alive and was coming back, but still. JIN!!!
I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff (like, who the fuck was shooting team Locke at one point?), but whatever. Surely the one I liked least until now even if Jin, Rousseau and Sayid completely made up for it. I'd have probably liked it better if it hadn't pissed me off like it did in the first twenty minutes. Even if I guess that at least they remember that dead people existed since there was pretty much the greatest hits naming at one point. *rolls eyes* Anyway, unless something exceptional happens, I'm going to stay angry at Locke for a good, good time.
Also, thankfully while it was about Aaron it didn't feature the kid much. At least. *sigh* But... aw, damn.
*goes back sniffing in the corner*
Okay. I'll be off catching with entries, comments and whatnot.
