ETA: My doctor thinks I have viral labyrinthitis. Having read that page, I'm inclined to agree. I've got to go for blood tests tomorrow, but barring any complications in those, I've been ordered off work/prac/uni for two weeks minimum. I can't tell you how incredibly inconvenient and very, very bad that is for me. Fucking terrible timing.

I'm a little freaked out by how much wee!Kate looks like adult Kate. That NEVER happens on Lost!

The level of selfishness involved in Jack's decision-making process is ASTOUNDING. Biggest. Asshole. Ever.

Miles & Sawyer FTW. Show killing off all my other favourites and NEVER KILLING JACK FTL. Oh, also, killing off one of the few really great female characters FTL.

I got so lost with the Jacob/Locke/Ben/Richard stuff that I just...totally tuned those bits out. I was happy to see Christian smacking Jack down, though, I always enjoy that.

I thought the same thing - awesome casting with little Kate.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Wasn't it incredible? I don't think Lost has ever done so well before.

[piratesorka.livejournal.com]

Yes, with each episode I watch of LOST I just keep repeating my mantra: please kill Jack, please kill Jack.


Now my best idea is either:

A. that the Losties have turned back time and Jack finally dies by something ignoble, like a taxi cab runs over him.
or
B. The Losties don't manage to turn back time and Jack dies when he trips over one of Charlies abandoned guitar picks and breaks his neck.

I can dream can't I?

I KNOW! Jack wants to "go back" because it would suit him but it's like he doesn't care that Kate would go to prison or Ji-Yeon would be unborn! and I'm really not convinced by Kate and Juliet's change of mind on the issue

I agree on the FTW and FTL!!!

also, that sucks about the labyrinthitis! :(
(that's such a weird name btw)

I know. I keep picturing David Bowie with his giant mullet inside my head.

I have been medicated for something similar to that but my doctor named it Veryogo. I've had it weeks. I came off my first set of pills and it came back so I'm on a bigger dose. So far total of a month I've had this on and off but the pills *really* work once they kick in.

As for LOST .. it was amazing. It's been such a long time since I got so excited about LOST but this season has been pretty bloody good. Glad I stuck with it. Also wish they would get rid of Jack. He's annoyed me from day one!

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the stuff I've been taking has worked a treat, I feel much better on it. Kinda drowsy though.

[thumbaleena.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I felt kinda drowsy and slept a lot. I found sleeping helps though. Kinda balanced me out. And looking at my last comment I dunno how Vertigo ended up typed as I did (Veryogo) - how bizarre lol

whoa! labyrinthitis has a cool name and even cooler drugs (anti-psychotics and benzos - woot!)

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

I admire your ability to focus on the positives.

[subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com]

Oh man, that sucks so much, I'm so sorry. Things like this always happen at the worst possible time.

The little!Kate casting was seriously impressive. So was the unparalleled level of Jack's selfishness. That was amazing even for him.

I was too busy mourning Juliet to really listen to the Jacob/Locke/Ben/Richard stuff to be honest. :(

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Mini!Kate also surprised me by doing a fairly good acting job and a decent impersonation of Evangeline Lilly.

[truffle-shuffle.livejournal.com]

Feel better soon, Katie. That labyrinthitis sounds awful.

I totally agree about Lost killing off the better characters (minus my other faves: Sawyer, Miles and Hurley). Sayid gets shot, Faraday dead, Juliet dead, Charlie dead, Desmond shot (but ok, but are we going to see him again?), but all Jack gets is a bonk on the head from a tool box (which was hilarious) and he's fine? I was so hoping they'd really surprise us and Jack would die trying to "save them".

Also, I blame Juliet's death on Kate. I hope Sawyer does too. And punches her in the face repeatedly.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

It's okay as long as I don't, you know, move. Like, if I stay sitting or lying down and keep my head still. While I can't concentrate very well and it's all very frustrating, at least it's better than gastro. I HATE gastro.

Oh, I forgot to mention Hurley. I love him too. Don't forget Mr. Eko! I LOVED Mr. Eko. They do tend to kill off my favourites :(

Eh, I don't blame Kate. I mean, let's face it, Juliet was flip-flopping all over the place in that episode - her reason for changing her mind was as selfish as Jack's was for making his up in the first place, if a little more convincing. If she'd let Sawyer beat Jack to a bloody pulp she wouldn't have died. I blame the writers. They clearly hate cool people and love lame ones.

[truffle-shuffle.livejournal.com]

I've just very much hated Kate throughout this whole season. As much as I loved Kate in Season 3 (if you don't remember, she kinda became my favorite that year somehow), I hate her that much now. She's flip-floppy and annoying and moons over Jack more than ever. And I blame her in an emotional way. Like, if Kate had just not gotten on that sub, then Juliet wouldn't be dead. And maybe JACK would be.

Don't get me wrong, though. Juliet's reason for "changing her mind"? Because Sawyer looked at Kate? WTF? Ridiculous.

I think the writers decide who to kill based on how much it'll hurt. They have to sacrifice awesome characters in order to fuck with their audience's collective emotions effectively. I'm pretty sure a higher percentage of the audience would rejoice in Jack's death than those who would mourn it, and where's the fun in that for the writers?

Eko! I forgot about him. I loved him too.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter how much I try or how much I feel like I should, I never manage to hate Kate properly. I can't even hate Evi for dating Dom. She's just really lovely, and Kate always manages to do something to redeem herself eventually. I still don't get the appeal of Jack, though.

They seem to do that, but they know how beloved Hurley and Sawyer are and they've never killed them. Hell, they barely even threaten to. I am so sick of Jack and Locke, though. I found Locke equally irritating when he's Locke AND when he's...creepy reincarnated not!Locke.

I think with Juliet it's particularly painful because there's a lack of good female characters, and Juliet was pretty much the best. Nobody really cared when Charlotte died (except that it made Faraday sad), but Juliet was ('you looked at Kate!' moment aside) pretty consistently cool. She was a great presence on the show, the woman who always does what she believes is right and always gets things done with minimal fuss and maximum baditude. RIP, Juliet.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Oh, but tell me you were also impressed with mini!Kate. That was spot on.

[truffle-shuffle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that little girl was PERFECT. Like they shrunk Evie. When that scene first started my roommate said "That's got to be Kate. She has Kate's attitude."

[zombres.livejournal.com]

OH NOES. I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so poorly, dear! Hope you feel better soon!

[txvoodoo.livejournal.com]

About Jack - what I said when I watched this ep was: "Jack was a prick in the past, a prick currently, and will always be a prick."

:D

[brermatt.livejournal.com]

Labyrinthitis?

I suggest you avoid David Bowie.

:( *hugs*
I hope you start feeling better soon.
