BTW, I had to run to Blockbuster after what happened to Boone. So, I was very glad that (a) BLOCKBUSTER TOTALACCESS provides that exchange system thing and (b) the local BLOCKBUSTER had it. Anyway,
Emotions
I love Sun & Jin! I was so glad to see them make up at the end of Exodus, p1 (They remind me of the ups-and-downs that BF and I have dealt with and how cultural differences can be both exotic/attractive and isolating). I was glad that Shannon stopped being a bitch for five seconds and took Vincent. I was teary when Vincent tried to swim out after Walter. I’m glad that Jack heard about his dad from Sawyer. I’m glad that the writers wanted to show that Sawyer is more wounded and angry and is ultimately trying for redemption. And I’m really glad that Ar[n]dst got his just desserts. I giggle at the thought of how the writers might have been exorcising their demons of embittered high school teachers. Rose (the black wife — sorry, PC police, that’s all the writers have really given me to work with) should be providing some wisdom to Clare, so I’m a little surprised that the writers haven’t let the Wise Woman of the Island, a.k.a. Rose, do that.
Random musings
- I (as the jury) am still out on Kate and I don’t know if it’s casting or the monstrously complex background that’s being gestured to. I keep waiting on how they’ll reconcile a truly frightened Kate in Episode 1 (who needs the “Just let the fear in for 5 seconds…” speech from Jack) with the total hard-ass she can be. Was that first portrayal just an act? I guess I was fooled then.
- And what the hell is Kate thinking of romancing/being nice alternately toward both Jack and Sawyer?
- I’m waiting to see where Sun got all of her medicinal knowledge.
- I’m now waiting to see what’s become of Alex, Danielle’s girl.
- My mind (the Eternal Mathematician’s) is still playing with the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42… Is it a mathematical series? Which one? Fibonacci, no…
That’s all for now. Just wanted to write that down…
