A List of People I Did Not Expect to Find on Lost: Concluded?
So, I got close to the end of Season 3 (I stopped right before D.O.C.), and it just sort of...stopped being fun to marathon? So, I've given up, at least for now. I may pick back up again after watching something else.
"Final" impressions--um. Well, remember how I thought 24 was a lot smarter on a rewatch? LOST is...I don't want to say stupider, but...it kind of is. The writing within episodes is still decent, I fell in love with the characters I liked all over again...maybe it's because it doesn't have the excitement/mystery it did the first time in terms of the arc writing (as opposed to individual episodes), maybe it's because it doesn't do that thing where it makes you crave the next episode (at least, not every episode, not after about the middle of season 2, anyway), maybe it's because I'm really not fond of Jack and really getting sick of Locke and they're the central characters and get the most flashbacks...or maybe it's just not as good a show as I remember.
I still love Sayid and Sawyer and Juliet and Desmond and BernardandRose and the universe always needs more Ben and Hurley, and as much as I was looking forward to Faraday and to Sun taking several levels in badass and to all the stuff in the 70s, plus surprise Allison Janney and the reveal that the reason this place is so fucked up is because Lucifer from Supernatural is apparently Jesus (and a REALLY SHITTY ONE AT THAT)...I just can't anymore. At least not right now.
List of Actors:
Random Notes:
and we right away get introduced to juliet!
that is a damn big island.
and jack flashbacks. of course.
...JACK STALKING IS NOT LOVE. LEAVE SARAH ALONE
and kate wakes with mr. friendly standing over her.
"i'm not showering in front of you."
"you're not my type."
he's gay, kate. not that you know that. (he actually is. this is canon)
"I'm going to have to ask you to put those on, Kate."
"And if I don't?"
"Then you don't get any coffee."
ilu ben
"WHY ARE YOU FEEDING ME BREAKFAST."
...jack. honey. STALKING IS NOT LOVE
seriously, dude. christian is calling you on your stalkeriness. CHRISTIAN. the guy who flies to australia PURELY TO HARRASS HIS EX-MISTRESS AND TRY TO MEET HIS DAUGHTER WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT HIM
"i don't want your food!"
"really? it's a delicious sandwich."
...JACK. STALKING. NOT LOVE. STOPPIT.
...christian, if you're screwing your soon-to-be-ex daughter-in-law.
awwww, sawyer's so happy when he figures out how to work the food switch :D
"only took the bears two hours."
oh, sawyer. oh, mr. friendly.
awwwww, he gives kate half his fish biscuit. <3
and jack's in the hydra
congratulations, jack. you got your father to fall off the wagon.
bb!sun!
mmmmmm, naked jae lee
....mr. paik, did you just order your son-in-law to murder your wife's lover, while keeping him ignorant of her adultery?
...SAWYER. NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO WATCH KATE'S ASS IN HER SUNDRESS
alex!
and it's not until episode three of season 3 that we find out whether locke or eko survived. and we only find locke then.
"Trees? I've heard they're wonderful conversationalists." it's funny because it's dominic monaghan talking.
"I'm gonna stand out here in case you devolve into a monkey." charlie learned to snark :D
sudden unexpected boone!
...and locke is on some kinda cult compound in his flashback. i totally forgot about this bit
locke, did you just almost stab hurley. not cool, man. not cool.
...eddie's fbi or atf or dea or something, isn't he.
DESMOND! whose clothes were apparently eaten by electromagnetic time magic.
"...did you just kill that bunny?"
sawyer has a babygirl!
awwwww, he gives her his share of the 10 million
...random newpeople.
"no. i want you to want to save my life."
"Maybe these tvs show other hatches."
"...well, i'm suddenly feeling very stupid."
oh, juliet you clever clever girl.
and byebye eko
newgirl is, like, shannon!lite
"i believe eko died for a reason"
yep. that reason being: the actor quit
"you think i'm going to put a hood over my head because you said please?"
...and now kate and sawyer have hot steamy jungle cage sex.
...kate's 'monica' hair really doesn't suit her.
aaaaand she drugged nathan fillion.
and this is either smart or fiendish--deliberately botching a surgery to blackmail ben's people. <3
awwww, mr. friendly really seems to care about ben. <333
juliet has a sad :<
and it's a flashback sad, because ethan.
she's also injecting directly into the uterus of a cancer patient who is her sister. THIS CAN'T POSSIBLY GO WRONG
this week, on Poor Familial Employment Choices: juliet, a fertility doctor, giving her cancer patient sister secret abdominal injections.
seriously, wtf is with this show and Poor Familial Employment Choices? they're as prevalent as the freaking daddy issues!
capulet-counterpart juliet's name is still not quite as ridiculously appropriate as christian fucking shephard.
...PFEC part two: SECRET ABDOMINAL INJECTIONS OF SOMETHING FROM A RESEARCH LAB OMFG JULIET WTEF
and, like all tv characters, she forgets to turn her ringer off before sneaking around places.
and she works with her ex-husband. LIKE I SAID. PFEC.
and alex saves them! :D because alex is awesometastic.
alex and her bratty slingshot :D
aaaaand ben's waking up and jack's faaaaaaaaace
wow, juliet's ex is a douchenozzle. he makes a good point, but still. about the ethical/criminal stuff, i mean. BUT STILL. DOUCHE.
RICHARD ALPERT! HERE HE IS WITH HIS INTENSE EYES AND PRETTY SMILE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
oh juliet. oh, honey.
and the first actual mention that alex is ben's daughter, though it's been hinted before!
23!
oh, man. poor karl. this is some serious clockwork orange brainmelty shit
and juliet's magic fertility drug works
...ouch. "i could only leave if my ex-husband got hit by a bus"
a couple days later--douchebag ex GETS HIT BY A FUCKING BUS
and juliet shoots danny in cold blood. niiiiice.
oh, alex. oh, honey. ::huggles::
that's some pretty good casting, with her facial features, for her being rousseau's babygirl.
juliet grew some ovaries of steel between her douchey ex's death and now.
and des and charlie and hurley gettin' druuuuuuuuuuunk
desmond i don't think chugging expensive scotch is the best of ideas...
SERIOUSLY. LOST. ENOUGH WITH THE CREEPY EYE CLOSEUPS
PENNY ILU
1:08!
815!
oooooh, set design for royal shakespeare company
"What you're not is worthy of drinking my whiskey. How could you ever be worthy of my daughter?" YOU'RE A DICK, WIDMORE. ALSO, PENNY HERSELF WOULD BEG TO DIFFER. AS WOULD I. DESMOND IS AWESOME.
sudden unexpected busking charlie in desmond's flashback!
oh, desmond. you and your panicky attempts to understand electromagnetic time magic.
...now here's an interesting thing, the parallels between jin and desmond. both fall in love with daughters of extremely wealthy, extremely unscrupulous businessmen. both go to ask for the businessman's blessing/approval/permission before a formal engagement. penny says it's a good thing desmond didn't get the job, because he would have been miserable. jin did take the job, and it nearly destroyed him and his marriage. would have destroyed his marriage if not for the island. i don't think i noticed that the first time.
FIRST ELOISE HAWKING APPEARANCE!
"if you buy it and fail to break penny's heart, you'll never go to the island, and if you don't do all the things you do there, we'll all die. so give me the sodding ring!"
::commercial break::
desmond--o.O O.o
eloise--...i can see you're going to be difficult about this. ::sigh:: do you like chestnuts?
desmond--....what?
homg a wizard of oz reference with nothing to do with ben! red shoes sticking out from under a fallen building!
"the universe, unfortunately, has a way of course-correcting."
...what a bitch.
"pushing that button is the only truly great thing you will ever do."
....aaaaand that would be the universe course-correcting. poor, poor, poor penny. poor desmond. but mostly poor penny.
and yet penny still lives up to her name and waits for him.
and he throws the ring into the thamesfor gollum to find i mean what.
...OW
"duck, brother!" ::slam::
and he gets shunted back to the present before he can fix things with penny DDDDDDDDDDDD: poor poor desmond. and penny. mostly penny. but still. poor desmond.
and he finds the photo, intact <33333
and now the rest of s3 is desmond trying to save charlie and the universe course-correcting.
captain bunnycatcher ohgod sawyer <33333
and karl's broken :<
and juliet's getting locked up. :<<
...i am really freaking sick of jack flashbacks. GIVE SOMEONE ELSE THE SPOTLIGHT. FFS. WE'RE NOT EVEN TEN EPISOSDES INTO THE SEASON AND THIS IS YOUR SECOND EPISODE. SOME PEOPLE HAVEN'T HAD ANY.
though i will admit watching him flirt wordlessly with a pretty thai lady is nice.
awwwwwww, sawyer's giving karl a helpful brotherly talk.
ethan was the surgeon. huh.
JACK. STALKING IS NOT LOVE. LEAVE ACHARA ALONE.
ickle hurley is adoooooooooooooorable :D
oh hurley. oh my heart. talking to libby's grave. FEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS
there are going to be a lot of hurley feels this episode, aren't there.
OH. OH FUCKING GROSS VINCENT. FINDING A LONG-DEAD ARM IN THE JUNGLE. GROOOOOOOOOOOOOSS.
and he wants to play fetch with it. of course.
and keychain with a rabbit's foot.
THE DHARMA BUS!
oh, hurley, you're adorably awkward when she's interviewing you <3333
"i always get the stupid stories." and now you get killed by a freak meteor while working on one. poor tricia tanaka.
creepy corpse named roger in the van!
and sun is doing tough love total immersion english lessons for jin <33333333
"will you pass me cereal?" "from now on i will only be talking to you in english."
jin--DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD: ::pleading in korean::
sun--it will be hard, but that is how you'll learn.
awwwww, no one wants to help hurley with the dharma bus.
and jin gets accidentally signed up/volunteered for something
"you have no idea what you volunteered for, do you."
::confusedfais::
and telling shift where kate stops calling him james and goes back to sawyer.
...sun's hair grew a lot in 2/3 months.
"dude. roger was on a beer run."
and they just accidentally decapitated roger.
"...we'll get that later."
awwwwww, hurley's so happy to see sawyer :D even jin has a smile and a hug
"well, look at that. somebody's hooked on phonics!"
"you're gonna help us fix this thing."
"and why would i do that?"
"'cause there's beer."
and kate's off to find rousseau
"now that's a hell of a jesus."
awwwww, hugo <3 ordering a custom-made solid gold jesus for his mamma :D
"it's been SEVENTEEN YEARS, hugo!"
"what's been seventeen years?"
"....." ::covers golden jesus' ears:: "i have needs."
::hugo's horrified face is hilarious::
"son of a--WHAT'S A HEAD DOING BACK HERE?!"
"oh, that's just roger."
hurley episodes are best episodes :D
"That beer's been here since before rocky iii. maybe even ii. it's probably poison by now"
"i'll give you a thousand dollars if you tell me the truth, that my dad put you up to this."
"THE MYSTIC ARTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO BRIBES! HOW DARE YOU--"
"10,000."
"your dad put me up to it."
sawyer's teaching jin useful words. like beer and car.
"let's look death in the face and say whatever, man." OH HURLEY.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry."
"Good, nice, keep it coming."
"You...were right."
"Okay, that's two. Hit me."
"Those pants don't make you look fat."
"Now you got it. The only three things a woman needs to hear."
OH SAWYER. OH JIN.
"What's your problem, Jumbotron?"
"Shut up...red...neck...man."
"...touche."
OH SAWYER. OH HURLEY.
"victory or death."
see, merry, this is where you charge at an unbeatable enemy screaming DEATH at the top of your lungs. it may not be a horde of orcs, but it's sharp rocks at the bottom of a steep hill. it'll do.
and they're all SO HAPPY just driving in circles <333333333333333333
i love this episode to death. 'tricia tanaka is dead'
and sawyer wanted to bring kate beer as a peace offering but she's not there.
sawyer has a sad, watching jin/sun and claire/charlie, the happy couples. and all he has is beer.
and sayid and locke came to join kate.
"we've got a compass bearing. if we follow it, i'm sure it'll lead us right to him."
"how?"
"because of the way the sunlight hit eko's stick when john was burying him."
"^_^"
"i'm pretty sure that she's your daughter."
which ANYONE WITH A BRAIN should have figured out. given age and face shape and the fact that BEN DIDN'T BOTHER TO CHANGE HER NAME.
YAY ANOTHER SAYID EPISODE!
...random cow wtf.
...AHAHAHA BEST BET EVER
"if you lose, no nicknames for anyone for a week." oh, sawyer. that'll be haaaaaaaaaard.
"If I'm unarmed, he won't feel threatened. In case he is threatened, you can cover me from here." Smart, Sayid.
and sayid worked under a false name in an arabic restaurant in a francophone country for a while. huh.
"i am the last living member of the dharma initiative."
the flame station!
yep, the restaurant's in paris
awwwww, the mikhail's kitty is named nadia. sayid's faaaaaaace.
"it was programmed by three grand masters. and it cheats."
...how does sayid know mikhail is one of them...?
the question is, was amira one of sayid's victims? i honestly don't know. it could go either way, the way the episode's shot.
...LOCKE. YOU IDIOT. WHY DID YOU STOP WATCHING MIKHAIL.
beatrice klugh!
...who tells mikhail to kill her so she can't be used as a hostage.
and amira's kitty looks like mikhail's nadia whut.
and she forgives him. and you can see in his eyes 'i do not deserve this.'
"the computer said, if there was an incursion by the hostiles, i should enter 7-7. so i entered 7-7."
"......" you can just SEE sayid wanting to strangle john.
and the kitty made it out yaaaay!
i want the kitty to follow sayid home and adopt him.
aaaaaand claire wakes up in a flashback car wreck, bloody. this'll be a fun episode.
ooh, i actually like the black hair on her.
........and her mom seems to have flown through the windshield in the accident. joy.
claire and charlie = diabeetus-inducing
...oh, danielle. :<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
and rousseau stops mikhail from outing locke!
and someone unknown has paid for claire's mom's treatment!
also, claire's aunt lindsey is kind of a bitch.
and desmond killed the birdies.
and mikhail dies of magic fence.
"you never know when a little c4 might come in handy"
and sudden unexpected christian in claire's flashback!
and his faaaaaaaaace, realizing he's meeting his daughter for the first time.
and aunt lindsay oh man
and claire worked in a piercing/tattoo parlor before she worked in fast food. huh.
and claire is following desmond and desmond found a birdie :D
and sawyer's reading ayn rand.
surprise idyllic little suburb on a magic jungle island in the south pacific! where jack appears to have gone native
...great. locke flashbacks. only thing more annoying/common are jack flashbacks. kate and sawyer get a lot, too, but there's are both interesting and not painfully depressing/full of whining.
YAY RICHARD'S IN THIS
and kate's faaaaaaaace when she thinks jack has gone native :<
and she and sayid lie to protect locke.
meanwhile, locke broke into ben's house.
"No, John, unfortunately, we don't have a code for 'there's a man in my closet with a gun to my daughter's head.' ...although we obviously should..."
i repeat: ILU BEN
"Although you should know, currently my daughter hates me, so I'm not sure holding me hostage is--"
and cooper's faaaaaaaace when he sees locke :D
nuuuuuuuuuuu that adorable little boy D: he just wanted to protect his mamma DDDDD:
OH SAYID
"alex."
"how do you know my name? D:"
"because you look like your mother."
"Where do you get electricity?"
"We have two giant hamsters running on a massive wheel at our secret underground lair."
SERIOUSLY. SHOW. MORE BEN. MORE HURLEY. MORE SAWYER.
...JACK. JACK. WHY ARE YOU TRUSTING BEN'S WORD. HIS MOUTH IS MOVING. THAT MEANS HE'S LYING
...that's the same brand of scotch widmore drinks. huh.
...i'm not sure whether or not i believe anthony. "there's no profit in it. i'm a con man, not a murderer."
i would dearly love to sic neal on anthony. HUMILIATE his ass before sawyer gets to kill him.
neal or the leverage team.
SOMEBODY WRITE ME THAT FANFIC
haha, locke has finally learned not to trust a word that comes out of his f--HOLY FUCK.
ANTHONY COOPER YOU ARE A TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE PERSON. STEALING YOUR SON'S KIDNEY AND THEN THROWING HIM OUT A WINDOW.
...so, ben, you just manipulated locke into blowing up the submarine purely to keep jack on the island.
"When I asked you earlier if it hurt when you suffered your injury, I think you misunderstood me. It seems fairly obvious that when a person's back smashes into a hard surface after being thrown from a building that that's going to sting a little."
...and suddenly locke's father is on the island, being held prisoner by ben. BECAUSE THAT MAKES SENSE.
then again, this is lost, the show where no coincidence is too contrived.
...okay, i may have serious issues with locke's flashbacks, but i will not deny terry o'quinn's acting.
...oh, right, the episode where they wrote off the random extra-inserted characters that nobody liked.
with the extremely implausible tv show, involving gangsters and strippers who fight crime.
...and apparently shannon and boone. huh. wonder how they'll tie in.
dr arzt!
...and nikki and paolo found eko's plane way before boone and locke did and didn't tell anyone. naturally. and paolo knew IF I GO UP THERE I'LL FALL AND DIE.
poor boone :<
...THEY EVEN FOUND THE PEARL AND DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. THEY'RE DICKS.
charlie, why are you confessing this?
mmmmm shirtless josh holloway.
...that is a thoroughly awful way to die. paralyzed, then buried alive DDDDD:
AND HER EYES OPEN UP WAS THAT REALLY NECESSARY
SERIOUSLY, LOST. PFEC, DADDY ISSUES, AND CREEPY EYE CLOSEUPS. LESS OF THEM. FFS.
...is that sawyer's lady-friend/babymamma kate just randomly hooked up with...?
i think it is!
...and now kate is handcuffed to juliet in the jungle. of course.
what i wanna know is where the fuck is sayid?
sawyer's inept fishing/cleaning of fish is adooooooooooooorable.
"welcome to the wonderful world of not knowing what the hell's going on."
it's the marshall again! :D
ah, fanservice. kate and juliet fighting in the rain.
"your baby's not as wrinkly as he was a few weeks ago."
oh sawyer.
and now kate and juliet are allover muddy.
and juliet reveals she had a key and knows how to turn the fence on and off.
charlie is the one to let sawyer know hurley conned him :D :D :D
"You tricked me into being decent? That's gotta be the lamest con in the history of cons!"
"My people left Sayid chained to a swingset for three days. I dragged Kate into the jungle, handcuffed myself to her, and lied about it. How much time do you think they need?"
and everyone's so happy to see jack and sawyer's all "...:<" and then he and jack have manhugs and my heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeart
oh, right, sawyer/kate dramahug.
and hurley is the first to reach out to juliet. awwwwwwwwwwwwww. <333333 ilu hurley
FIRST EXPLICIT MENTION OF JACOB!
huh. juliet was sleeping with goodwin.
"you know, it's interesting that you two are now the camp's moral police." ...sawyer, sayid, you know i love you both, but juliet's got a point there.
...now how the hell did they find out sawyer killed not!cooper?
"MIKHAIL! IT'S BEN! I'M HERE WITH JULIET. WE'RE APPROACHING THE HOUSE. DON'T SHOOT US."
so one of the few times ben told the truth was about juliet's sister. awwwwww.
"I'm not a liar, Juliet."
YES. YES, YOU ARE. ...just not about this.
awwwwww charlie and claire <3
...of course. juliet is really a plant. of course
...desmond in a monastery. huh.
aaaaaand desmond's gonna get charlie killed so he can see penny again.
...desmond, i'm not sure i'm okay with you lying to charlie like that :<
and some random dude comes to desmond's monastery and punches him in the face. lovely.
..........KATE. KATE. WHAT WHAT WHAT ARE YOU DOING. SEEING JACK GIGGLING WITH JULIET IS NOT A GOOD REASON TO GO FUCK SAWYER.
and now jin is telling ghost stories no one else can understand because no one else speaks korean. and hurley still jumps <3
and suddenly, helicopter
suddenly CRASHING helicopter.
...oh desmond. oh, honey. you're so convinced it's penny :<<<<
that's...a pretty impressive way to dump your girlfriend. running away and joining a monastery. wow, desmond.
OH SAWYER YOU'RE ADORABLE.
::asks jack to play pingpong::
"FINALLY something i can beat you at!"
and sawyer's starting to realize kate slept with him for spite.
a copy of catch-22 in another language with the despenny pic inside!
"You ain't gotta use me, Freckles. All you gotta do is ask."
...desmond are you stealing wine from your monastery to get trashed.
...des, honey, offering brother campbell the stolen wine isn't gonna help your situation.
yep, that's desmond expelled from the monastery
"...dude, even if I spoke Korean, it wouldn't make any sense." oh, hurley ilu.
i think charlie's guitar is dead.
...is that eloise hawking in the pic on brother campbell's desk?
and that's how he met penny! she bought wine from the monastery he got kicked out of.
"If you hadn't gotten fired, we wouldn't have met, and then how would you help me unload all these crates in Carlisle? ^_^"
"Did I say I was going to Carlisle with you? ^_^"
"Not yet ^_^"
I LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCH
and that...is definitely not penny
And, finally, a poll, because there's a few shows I might rewatch next, and I want Opinions! These are shows I've seen before, either in their entirety or multiple seasons, that have multiple seasons, that I watched at least two or three years ago and haven't rewatched (or at least not recently) and am not planning to rewatch in other contexts at any time soon, which is why BSG and Firefly, along with a couple others, aren't listed.
...and it won't let me create a poll because I'm not a paid account. Hokay. Um, I guess comment with opinions?
1. Grey's Anatomy
2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
3. Heroes
4. Alias
5. Numb3rs
6. CSI (Original)
7. CSI:NY
"Final" impressions--um. Well, remember how I thought 24 was a lot smarter on a rewatch? LOST is...I don't want to say stupider, but...it kind of is. The writing within episodes is still decent, I fell in love with the characters I liked all over again...maybe it's because it doesn't have the excitement/mystery it did the first time in terms of the arc writing (as opposed to individual episodes), maybe it's because it doesn't do that thing where it makes you crave the next episode (at least, not every episode, not after about the middle of season 2, anyway), maybe it's because I'm really not fond of Jack and really getting sick of Locke and they're the central characters and get the most flashbacks...or maybe it's just not as good a show as I remember.
I still love Sayid and Sawyer and Juliet and Desmond and BernardandRose and the universe always needs more Ben and Hurley, and as much as I was looking forward to Faraday and to Sun taking several levels in badass and to all the stuff in the 70s, plus surprise Allison Janney and the reveal that the reason this place is so fucked up is because Lucifer from Supernatural is apparently Jesus (and a REALLY SHITTY ONE AT THAT)...I just can't anymore. At least not right now.

juliet grew some ovaries of steel between her douchey ex's death and now.
and des and charlie and hurley gettin' druuuuuuuuuuunk
desmond i don't think chugging expensive scotch is the best of ideas...
SERIOUSLY. LOST. ENOUGH WITH THE CREEPY EYE CLOSEUPS
PENNY ILU
1:08!
815!
oooooh, set design for royal shakespeare company
"What you're not is worthy of drinking my whiskey. How could you ever be worthy of my daughter?" YOU'RE A DICK, WIDMORE. ALSO, PENNY HERSELF WOULD BEG TO DIFFER. AS WOULD I. DESMOND IS AWESOME.
sudden unexpected busking charlie in desmond's flashback!
oh, desmond. you and your panicky attempts to understand electromagnetic time magic.
...now here's an interesting thing, the parallels between jin and desmond. both fall in love with daughters of extremely wealthy, extremely unscrupulous businessmen. both go to ask for the businessman's blessing/approval/permission before a formal engagement. penny says it's a good thing desmond didn't get the job, because he would have been miserable. jin did take the job, and it nearly destroyed him and his marriage. would have destroyed his marriage if not for the island. i don't think i noticed that the first time.
FIRST ELOISE HAWKING APPEARANCE!
"if you buy it and fail to break penny's heart, you'll never go to the island, and if you don't do all the things you do there, we'll all die. so give me the sodding ring!"
::commercial break::
desmond--o.O O.o
eloise--...i can see you're going to be difficult about this. ::sigh:: do you like chestnuts?
desmond--....what?
homg a wizard of oz reference with nothing to do with ben! red shoes sticking out from under a fallen building!
"the universe, unfortunately, has a way of course-correcting."
...what a bitch.
"pushing that button is the only truly great thing you will ever do."
....aaaaand that would be the universe course-correcting. poor, poor, poor penny. poor desmond. but mostly poor penny.
and yet penny still lives up to her name and waits for him.
and he throws the ring into the thames
...OW
"duck, brother!" ::slam::
and he gets shunted back to the present before he can fix things with penny DDDDDDDDDDDD: poor poor desmond. and penny. mostly penny. but still. poor desmond.
and he finds the photo, intact <33333
and now the rest of s3 is desmond trying to save charlie and the universe course-correcting.
captain bunnycatcher ohgod sawyer <33333
and karl's broken :<
and juliet's getting locked up. :<<
...i am really freaking sick of jack flashbacks. GIVE SOMEONE ELSE THE SPOTLIGHT. FFS. WE'RE NOT EVEN TEN EPISOSDES INTO THE SEASON AND THIS IS YOUR SECOND EPISODE. SOME PEOPLE HAVEN'T HAD ANY.
though i will admit watching him flirt wordlessly with a pretty thai lady is nice.
awwwwwww, sawyer's giving karl a helpful brotherly talk.
ethan was the surgeon. huh.
JACK. STALKING IS NOT LOVE. LEAVE ACHARA ALONE.
ickle hurley is adoooooooooooooorable :D
oh hurley. oh my heart. talking to libby's grave. FEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS
there are going to be a lot of hurley feels this episode, aren't there.
OH. OH FUCKING GROSS VINCENT. FINDING A LONG-DEAD ARM IN THE JUNGLE. GROOOOOOOOOOOOOSS.
and he wants to play fetch with it. of course.
and keychain with a rabbit's foot.
THE DHARMA BUS!
oh, hurley, you're adorably awkward when she's interviewing you <3333
"i always get the stupid stories." and now you get killed by a freak meteor while working on one. poor tricia tanaka.
creepy corpse named roger in the van!
and sun is doing tough love total immersion english lessons for jin <33333333
"will you pass me cereal?" "from now on i will only be talking to you in english."
jin--DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD: ::pleading in korean::
sun--it will be hard, but that is how you'll learn.
awwwww, no one wants to help hurley with the dharma bus.
and jin gets accidentally signed up/volunteered for something
"you have no idea what you volunteered for, do you."
::confusedfais::
and telling shift where kate stops calling him james and goes back to sawyer.
...sun's hair grew a lot in 2/3 months.
"dude. roger was on a beer run."
and they just accidentally decapitated roger.
"...we'll get that later."
awwwwww, hurley's so happy to see sawyer :D even jin has a smile and a hug
"well, look at that. somebody's hooked on phonics!"
"you're gonna help us fix this thing."
"and why would i do that?"
"'cause there's beer."
and kate's off to find rousseau
"now that's a hell of a jesus."
awwwww, hugo <3 ordering a custom-made solid gold jesus for his mamma :D
"it's been SEVENTEEN YEARS, hugo!"
"what's been seventeen years?"
"....." ::covers golden jesus' ears:: "i have needs."
::hugo's horrified face is hilarious::
"son of a--WHAT'S A HEAD DOING BACK HERE?!"
"oh, that's just roger."
hurley episodes are best episodes :D
"That beer's been here since before rocky iii. maybe even ii. it's probably poison by now"
"i'll give you a thousand dollars if you tell me the truth, that my dad put you up to this."
"THE MYSTIC ARTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO BRIBES! HOW DARE YOU--"
"10,000."
"your dad put me up to it."
sawyer's teaching jin useful words. like beer and car.
"let's look death in the face and say whatever, man." OH HURLEY.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry."
"Good, nice, keep it coming."
"You...were right."
"Okay, that's two. Hit me."
"Those pants don't make you look fat."
"Now you got it. The only three things a woman needs to hear."
OH SAWYER. OH JIN.
"What's your problem, Jumbotron?"
"Shut up...red...neck...man."
"...touche."
OH SAWYER. OH HURLEY.
"victory or death."
see, merry, this is where you charge at an unbeatable enemy screaming DEATH at the top of your lungs. it may not be a horde of orcs, but it's sharp rocks at the bottom of a steep hill. it'll do.
and they're all SO HAPPY just driving in circles <333333333333333333
i love this episode to death. 'tricia tanaka is dead'
and sawyer wanted to bring kate beer as a peace offering but she's not there.
sawyer has a sad, watching jin/sun and claire/charlie, the happy couples. and all he has is beer.
and sayid and locke came to join kate.
"we've got a compass bearing. if we follow it, i'm sure it'll lead us right to him."
"how?"
"because of the way the sunlight hit eko's stick when john was burying him."
"^_^"
"i'm pretty sure that she's your daughter."
which ANYONE WITH A BRAIN should have figured out. given age and face shape and the fact that BEN DIDN'T BOTHER TO CHANGE HER NAME.
YAY ANOTHER SAYID EPISODE!
...random cow wtf.
...AHAHAHA BEST BET EVER
"if you lose, no nicknames for anyone for a week." oh, sawyer. that'll be haaaaaaaaaard.
"If I'm unarmed, he won't feel threatened. In case he is threatened, you can cover me from here." Smart, Sayid.
and sayid worked under a false name in an arabic restaurant in a francophone country for a while. huh.
"i am the last living member of the dharma initiative."
the flame station!
yep, the restaurant's in paris
awwwww, the mikhail's kitty is named nadia. sayid's faaaaaaace.
"it was programmed by three grand masters. and it cheats."
...how does sayid know mikhail is one of them...?
the question is, was amira one of sayid's victims? i honestly don't know. it could go either way, the way the episode's shot.
...LOCKE. YOU IDIOT. WHY DID YOU STOP WATCHING MIKHAIL.
beatrice klugh!
...who tells mikhail to kill her so she can't be used as a hostage.
and amira's kitty looks like mikhail's nadia whut.
and she forgives him. and you can see in his eyes 'i do not deserve this.'
"the computer said, if there was an incursion by the hostiles, i should enter 7-7. so i entered 7-7."
"......" you can just SEE sayid wanting to strangle john.
and the kitty made it out yaaaay!
i want the kitty to follow sayid home and adopt him.
aaaaaand claire wakes up in a flashback car wreck, bloody. this'll be a fun episode.
ooh, i actually like the black hair on her.
........and her mom seems to have flown through the windshield in the accident. joy.
claire and charlie = diabeetus-inducing
...oh, danielle. :<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
and rousseau stops mikhail from outing locke!
and someone unknown has paid for claire's mom's treatment!
also, claire's aunt lindsey is kind of a bitch.
and desmond killed the birdies.
and mikhail dies of magic fence.
"you never know when a little c4 might come in handy"
and sudden unexpected christian in claire's flashback!
and his faaaaaaaaace, realizing he's meeting his daughter for the first time.
and aunt lindsay oh man
and claire worked in a piercing/tattoo parlor before she worked in fast food. huh.
and claire is following desmond and desmond found a birdie :D
and sawyer's reading ayn rand.
surprise idyllic little suburb on a magic jungle island in the south pacific! where jack appears to have gone native
...great. locke flashbacks. only thing more annoying/common are jack flashbacks. kate and sawyer get a lot, too, but there's are both interesting and not painfully depressing/full of whining.
YAY RICHARD'S IN THIS
and kate's faaaaaaaace when she thinks jack has gone native :<
and she and sayid lie to protect locke.
meanwhile, locke broke into ben's house.
"No, John, unfortunately, we don't have a code for 'there's a man in my closet with a gun to my daughter's head.' ...although we obviously should..."
i repeat: ILU BEN
"Although you should know, currently my daughter hates me, so I'm not sure holding me hostage is--"
and cooper's faaaaaaaace when he sees locke :D
nuuuuuuuuuuu that adorable little boy D: he just wanted to protect his mamma DDDDD:
OH SAYID
"alex."
"how do you know my name? D:"
"because you look like your mother."
"Where do you get electricity?"
"We have two giant hamsters running on a massive wheel at our secret underground lair."
SERIOUSLY. SHOW. MORE BEN. MORE HURLEY. MORE SAWYER.
...JACK. JACK. WHY ARE YOU TRUSTING BEN'S WORD. HIS MOUTH IS MOVING. THAT MEANS HE'S LYING
...that's the same brand of scotch widmore drinks. huh.
...i'm not sure whether or not i believe anthony. "there's no profit in it. i'm a con man, not a murderer."
i would dearly love to sic neal on anthony. HUMILIATE his ass before sawyer gets to kill him.
neal or the leverage team.
SOMEBODY WRITE ME THAT FANFIC
haha, locke has finally learned not to trust a word that comes out of his f--HOLY FUCK.
ANTHONY COOPER YOU ARE A TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE PERSON. STEALING YOUR SON'S KIDNEY AND THEN THROWING HIM OUT A WINDOW.
...so, ben, you just manipulated locke into blowing up the submarine purely to keep jack on the island.
"When I asked you earlier if it hurt when you suffered your injury, I think you misunderstood me. It seems fairly obvious that when a person's back smashes into a hard surface after being thrown from a building that that's going to sting a little."
...and suddenly locke's father is on the island, being held prisoner by ben. BECAUSE THAT MAKES SENSE.
then again, this is lost, the show where no coincidence is too contrived.
...okay, i may have serious issues with locke's flashbacks, but i will not deny terry o'quinn's acting.
...oh, right, the episode where they wrote off the random extra-inserted characters that nobody liked.
with the extremely implausible tv show, involving gangsters and strippers who fight crime.
...and apparently shannon and boone. huh. wonder how they'll tie in.
dr arzt!
...and nikki and paolo found eko's plane way before boone and locke did and didn't tell anyone. naturally. and paolo knew IF I GO UP THERE I'LL FALL AND DIE.
poor boone :<
...THEY EVEN FOUND THE PEARL AND DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. THEY'RE DICKS.
charlie, why are you confessing this?
mmmmm shirtless josh holloway.
...that is a thoroughly awful way to die. paralyzed, then buried alive DDDDD:
AND HER EYES OPEN UP WAS THAT REALLY NECESSARY
SERIOUSLY, LOST. PFEC, DADDY ISSUES, AND CREEPY EYE CLOSEUPS. LESS OF THEM. FFS.
...is that sawyer's lady-friend/babymamma kate just randomly hooked up with...?
i think it is!
...and now kate is handcuffed to juliet in the jungle. of course.
what i wanna know is where the fuck is sayid?
sawyer's inept fishing/cleaning of fish is adooooooooooooorable.
"welcome to the wonderful world of not knowing what the hell's going on."
it's the marshall again! :D
ah, fanservice. kate and juliet fighting in the rain.
"your baby's not as wrinkly as he was a few weeks ago."
oh sawyer.
and now kate and juliet are allover muddy.
and juliet reveals she had a key and knows how to turn the fence on and off.
charlie is the one to let sawyer know hurley conned him :D :D :D
"You tricked me into being decent? That's gotta be the lamest con in the history of cons!"
"My people left Sayid chained to a swingset for three days. I dragged Kate into the jungle, handcuffed myself to her, and lied about it. How much time do you think they need?"
and everyone's so happy to see jack and sawyer's all "...:<" and then he and jack have manhugs and my heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeart
oh, right, sawyer/kate dramahug.
and hurley is the first to reach out to juliet. awwwwwwwwwwwwww. <333333 ilu hurley
FIRST EXPLICIT MENTION OF JACOB!
huh. juliet was sleeping with goodwin.
"you know, it's interesting that you two are now the camp's moral police." ...sawyer, sayid, you know i love you both, but juliet's got a point there.
...now how the hell did they find out sawyer killed not!cooper?
"MIKHAIL! IT'S BEN! I'M HERE WITH JULIET. WE'RE APPROACHING THE HOUSE. DON'T SHOOT US."
so one of the few times ben told the truth was about juliet's sister. awwwwww.
"I'm not a liar, Juliet."
YES. YES, YOU ARE. ...just not about this.
awwwwww charlie and claire <3
...of course. juliet is really a plant. of course
...desmond in a monastery. huh.
aaaaaand desmond's gonna get charlie killed so he can see penny again.
...desmond, i'm not sure i'm okay with you lying to charlie like that :<
and some random dude comes to desmond's monastery and punches him in the face. lovely.
..........KATE. KATE. WHAT WHAT WHAT ARE YOU DOING. SEEING JACK GIGGLING WITH JULIET IS NOT A GOOD REASON TO GO FUCK SAWYER.
and now jin is telling ghost stories no one else can understand because no one else speaks korean. and hurley still jumps <3
and suddenly, helicopter
suddenly CRASHING helicopter.
...oh desmond. oh, honey. you're so convinced it's penny :<<<<
that's...a pretty impressive way to dump your girlfriend. running away and joining a monastery. wow, desmond.
OH SAWYER YOU'RE ADORABLE.
::asks jack to play pingpong::
"FINALLY something i can beat you at!"
and sawyer's starting to realize kate slept with him for spite.
a copy of catch-22 in another language with the despenny pic inside!
"You ain't gotta use me, Freckles. All you gotta do is ask."
...desmond are you stealing wine from your monastery to get trashed.
...des, honey, offering brother campbell the stolen wine isn't gonna help your situation.
yep, that's desmond expelled from the monastery
"...dude, even if I spoke Korean, it wouldn't make any sense." oh, hurley ilu.
i think charlie's guitar is dead.
...is that eloise hawking in the pic on brother campbell's desk?
and that's how he met penny! she bought wine from the monastery he got kicked out of.
"If you hadn't gotten fired, we wouldn't have met, and then how would you help me unload all these crates in Carlisle? ^_^"
"Did I say I was going to Carlisle with you? ^_^"
"Not yet ^_^"
I LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCH
and that...is definitely not penny
And, finally, a poll, because there's a few shows I might rewatch next, and I want Opinions! These are shows I've seen before, either in their entirety or multiple seasons, that have multiple seasons, that I watched at least two or three years ago and haven't rewatched (or at least not recently) and am not planning to rewatch in other contexts at any time soon, which is why BSG and Firefly, along with a couple others, aren't listed.
...and it won't let me create a poll because I'm not a paid account. Hokay. Um, I guess comment with opinions?
