Getting lost again - woohoo

castalieWell, it did feel good to have our weekly ritual back, that's for sure *g*
First things first : HOLY SHIT, how more brilliant can this show get, seriously? Is it possible for a show to be so cool all the time? Well apart from False French Chick of course, but it doesn't count.
Me? I love foreshadowing - I just can't get enough of it and boy did I get my wish today *g* Seemed to be all around. And Claire... she's so gonna die, isn't she? Apart from everything else, did you hear Charlie's dream? His teeth were falling out, man [so at first I heard 'tits' but whatever] - among other things, this is supposed to symbolise a death to come. So they're supposed to all fall off or something but seriously, it's not just random dream, is it? Random is boring, anyway *nodnod*
Speaking of creepy - Mr Great Seer's reading was really not of the good. So Claire's baby is actually Rosemary's baby - or something. Talk about bad news disguised as... well, not even disguised actually. And when Charlie realises that Mr Great Seer knew about the plane and lied to Claire to have her take it? So what did he know exactly? Did he know that a) Mother and baby will die, and then no problem of great danger since the object of his fear will be dead or b) that Mother and baby will be fine, but seriously he could have found another way to make sure of that without sending the woman on a soon-to-crash-plane or c) Mother will be fine but baby will die, see b)... Because the crash couldn't be the only thing he saw, or else what's the point? Well, we'll see, right? Let's just be patient a little more.
We didn't see a lot of Locke but I thought he was back to his creepy self - sorta. It was just so typical that he was the one pulling a Cassandra on Claire in her dream that first time - though I'd be one to believe everything that comes from Locke's mouth, even he's a dream/hallucination/vision, because you have to listen to Yoda!Locke all the time... he knows stuff, ya know?
And since we're on the subject of the first dream - they're really playing with the whole white/black thing, aren't they?
Claire-Charlie was still as cute as ever - even cuter, still. This is a ship I can see, yes - not that I would want to see it or read it, mind, but there's definitely something between those two - this is chemistry. Maybe Kate and Jack should learn from them. Though of course, it's not something I want to see either, so just stay as you are, guys. Besides Jack belongs with Charlie - when Charlie isn't busy with Hurley or Locke, of course. And I see some make up sex between Jack and his boy btw - because oooh they had their first lovers' quarrel! How sweet *g*
And I won't make another squeeing paragraph on how cute and sweet and cool Charlie is, because it's a given by now and everyone knows what I think but seriously... did you see how cool he was? Did you see? His so to prove your sanity line and the whole panic scene and his 1 sugar plum fairy 2 sugar plum fairy oh and he mentioned his drug addiction! They haven't forgotten contrary to what one might have thought, cool! I mean, he's killing me! I LOVE LOVING THIS GUY! That is all, thanks *bows*
Hurley is becoming more awesome as each episode. I was sold on him a long time ago, so I'm not having some kind of epiphany here, but it bears repeating. I mean, everyone thought at first he'd just be the comic relief kinda character and he's showing everyone that he's so much more than that - he's the one who's coming up with the best ideas, isn't he? You go,Hugo Hurley! Oh and his scene with Sawyer was so very good! One of the best *g*
Ethan now... or whatever his real name is, anyway [Ethan Rom = Other Man, which is pretty nifty. And apparently ROM is also the Royal Museum of Ontario]. So who is he? What's his relationship with False French Chick? Does he even have something to do with False French Chick? Is he part of the Others? And who the hell are they anyway? And does it mean he was the one who whacked Sayid? And how many more questions can I come up with? Too bad he's not younger, because we could have speculated about his being Alex at least...
Oh and something else that is always bugging me - how the hell do they all keep track of where they're going?? They're always going and coming, sometimes running and they're apparently not paying attention to where they're heading but they never - forgive the pun - get lost! Like when Charlie runs to Ethan and tells him they're 'that way'. Yeah right... I would find anyone in the jungle if I was told of where they are with a vague and quick shake of the hand - maybe being in a crash triggers some kind of GPS we all have in our heads but never know about *blink*
A last thing... those guys in Lost know how to scream, wow!
I can't wait for next week's episode!!Locke and Jack will come to their lover's rescue!
So? Yes, I'll end my review as usual : stillmadlyinlovewiththatshow.
And this has nothing to do with the rest now :![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alinewrites? I received the CDs - thanks a lot *g*

Man this character rocked my world - bondage!bishie! And Excel is into yaoi, did you see? II Palazzo/Key all the way baby! lol

Date: 2004-12-02 09:05 am (UTC)way too long Lost co-squee
Date: 2004-12-02 10:19 am (UTC)so, so freaking scary! evil portents - the psychic knowingly sending her on the plane - what do you think she's carrying?? the anti-christ or some demon thing or what? with all the immaculate conception/madonna imagery surrounding Claire, I was SO not expecting this! "blurry is bad." yikes!
and Sayid isn't back yet... and Ethan Rom (thank you for "Other Man" - did not know that!)
and oh, yeah, Claire is so dead. and I am so sad, b/c I think I'm in love with her. (just like w/ Jack - I always fall for the Mary Sue *g*) she was just so beautiful and fragile/strong in this episode - I just wanted to kill boyfriend dude... oh,well. the cool thing is, we'll get grieving Charley *g*.
I loved the lovers quarrel, too. he and Jack are my ship, man. it is done, no going back.
you're right, the Hurley-Sawyer scene was fantastic. "you could use the points." and Sawyer just gives the manifest to him! (I foresee redemption for the redneck, and I'm a little disappointed. *g*)
And Locke - oh man! I'm back to thinking he's evil. sitting in judgement on Claire (SITTING. which may be significant. or not. :) His talk with Hurley - freaky. (and I loved Hurley's exit line!)
But Locke=evil I think b/c I finally got G to watch it with me (yay!) and of course, he loved it, and of course, we had to watch another and I picked "The Moth" - and... I was so busy bashing the blatant moth imagery that I completely missed the CHRIST imagery until G pointed it out (my man is so the meta-guy :).
Charley: very religious. called at least twice a rock "god" in the episode. Locke offers the drugs to him 3 times, just like Satan tempted Christ three times in the desert - therefore Locke=Satan. And even the moth stuff fits in - re-birth, rising again. How cool is that??
and yeah, even though Locke is doing things that are good, in all religions there are elements of duality in the divine, including Christianity - God the Father created evil and allows it to exist. Besides, Lucifer was beautiful, after all.
I love this show! They've created so much potential, and so far they aren't wasting it!
sorry for the length - you are a doll to let me come here and squee with you! *g*
Re: way too long Lost co-squee
Date: 2004-12-02 04:15 pm (UTC)Oh boy I have no idea about what she's carrying - what is strange is how Claire seems to be the important factor in the baby's life. Like, he could bring danger or whatnot --though 'danger' can have so many meanings-- but it's Claire and only Claire who could prevent it. Why is she so important? Or is she? I mean, what's the problem exactly anyway? Is it the baby who's really destined to turn evil or I don't know what or are his future adoptive parents, whoever they may be, meant to turn him evil? [Btw? I'm saying 'he' because in French 'bébé' is male and I don't know if 'they' would work in English, and saying 'it' just is too weird for me]
What I mean is, did the psychic see mayhem because of the baby living without Claire's influence or did he see mayhem caused by the future parents themselves? Is the baby really the cause of the threat or what would be surrounding him if Claire had given him away/died? I know it may not make sense but I'm wondering because if it's the baby himself, then we can imagine all kind of religious and other hypothesis... now, if it's not the baby himself, then we have to look at something else entirely and the baby would be a tool more than the anti-christ... yeah okay, I'm being confusing here lol
I'm in love with Shannon myself - I can't help it. She's absolutely gorgeous and she has teh snark and I just love her come backs *g* I'm curious as to what are hers and Boone's backstories.
Jack/Charlie all the way, girl *high fives Audra*
OMG! I didn't even notice the three time things! And now that you mention it, it seemed so obvious! Damn. It's a good thing your man is a meta-guy *g* I think the moth v butterfly is interesting that way, because usually what is associated with Christ is the butterfly... and here, Locke insisted quite a lot on the fact that the moth was actually so much stronger than the butterfly and whatnot.
And re Lucifer - yeah, he's a study in duality all by himself considering he started as God's CO --sorta-- and was the highest archangel before he took the fall and everything...
Man, it's always a pleasure to discuss the show with you lol And this is a not-so-subtle reminder that I so don't mind the length of your comment here *g*

mmmmpph! eeeep! of course! and moths being nocturnal, and a little squicky for most people... ::shudder:: so, so deeply cool. "better to rule in hell." that could be Locke, man.
I missed the preview of next week - is it Shannon and Boone? I'm looking forward to their arc, too. No one's back story has been as expected (except Sayid's, I guess)so I'm sure it'll be very interesting.
I can't wait for next week. I sincerely hope the Lost writer/producer types have some grand plan, and are not sitting in meetings every week going, "I know! Let's make Claire's baby evil!" or something. *G*
Later! :)
Re: way too long Lost co-squee
Date: 2004-12-07 03:40 am (UTC)Next week seems to be around Claire and Charlie's disappearance and it should be around Jack again, with maybe Locke and Boone thrown in the midst - or something like that.
I'm really impatient to be Thursday too, I'm so excited about this episode *bouncebounce*

Date: 2004-12-02 01:15 pm (UTC)Nothing is random in this show, you know that? *g*
I believe Claire's gonna die, and the "prophecy" will happen, but I don't want to *pouts*
Ethan Rom = Other Man
Wow.
About coming and going without getting lost, don't you think a track has been opened now between the cave and the beach, if they're walking it every day to trade water and other things?

Date: 2004-12-02 04:18 pm (UTC)The Ethan Rom = Other Man was so very cool.
From the cave --or rape cave as my beloved Shannon would say-- to the beach, it does make sense yes... but the other times when we see them running off to wherever? Always amuses me. But it's really a detail because I'm sure I'm not supposed to focus on that lol
