Lost 1x13

Ah Lost Thursday, always a wonderful day *g*

Well well, some part of this episode creeped me out. I really thought they'd brought The Scary Mysterious Monster back. And the fuckers made me believe it had eaten Shannon - and then, bam! It wasn't real after all. Because alright, when Boone heard Shannon's voice, I thought, okay Locke and Shannon thought of a little plan to have him motivated since it was what Locke seemed to want, and they're going to scare him into moving his ass. Then the scenes started to be a bit too long and I thought I'd totally misunderstood it and they were indeed together and it wasn't a plan and that's when I really thought they'd killed Shannon off after all. Like, The Lost Crew had us believe Charlie was dead when he wasn't and it would turn out it was to lull us into a false sense of security until they really started offing their characters, starting with Shannon, in a scary and gory way but without that much angst about it - therefore making it almost more realistic, ie one sec she's alive, the next she's been eaten, you know? So the 'eaten' bit doesn't sound that realistic, I'll admit, just replace it by 'dead', all right?

But no! They hadn't brought TSMM back after all, because it was actually Yoda!Locke's doing! And if I'd thought he'd more or less left my creepy-o-meter, well he's firmly back on it now. He's from the dark side, that one. His methods for helping other people out are way too much on the psycho side. He has to stop! Except not, because he sure brings up some interesting shit, but wow, why does he have to freak everyone out around him?

So the vibes between Shannon and Boone were real vibes, huh? But here goes the incest though, because no, they're not really brother and sister after all. Wonder if the B/S fans are going to be a bit disappointed about it now lol

It wasn't that shocking, after all, was it? I mean... they're not siblings. They're not half-brothers and sisters either, hell, they're not even cousins. And their parents didn't even marry when they were babies or toddlers, they were children already when they met, albeit young yes. So okay some step-siblings would indeed consider going out with each other as incest but some could care less. I guess it depends on how you learnt to see the other and how your parents raised you. In Shannon and Boone's case, it seems that the sibling part wasn't really that relevant. Still, I wonder if Lost is going to lose some fans over this issue? Because it'll be an issue for some people since we all see things differently - and I totally understand that, btw. I also wonder if this particular storyline is going to be talked over a lot?

Their relationship is fucked up tough, that's a given - but it's fucked up because... it just is, not because of the not-sibling thing for me *shrug* And I was so not surprised when Boone told Locke he'd felt relieved when he thought Shannon had died. I answered at the same as he did, and that's what I came up with too. I think I would have been surprised if he'd said something else.

Oh and speaking of Boone and stuff - the scene at the precinct? Damn, talk about a shock when I heard a sorta familiar yelling and realised it was Sawyer, wow! So is it going to be this way for everyone else?

Hey we almost saw everyone from the group, didn't we? Except for Claire, obviously - oh and Rose who apparently disappeared again *sigh* And okay Sawyer - well maybe we didn't really see everyone from the group, after all *frown* But we had most of them anyway :

Jack/Charlie: finally had a scene together, yay! And I was wondering whether we were going to even get a glimpse of Charlie *g* Apparently he's still enamoured with Locke. His little line about the trust thing had to sting a little, because huh Charlie? Jack saved your life too, or do I need to remind you??

Hurley-Jin: Man, Hurley cracked me up today! lol He's really so sweet - wonder what his story/secret is? And the whole 'pee on me' scene was just hilarious. Sorry, it might not be real intellectual but the scene was so absurd, you know? lol

Jin/Sun: They really looked cute together. Sun's smile wasn't forced or anything, that was nice. Why yes, I never gave up on that couple, I actually want them to love each other like they did in the beginning of their relationship.

Michael: So what is inside the box he was holding? Now I'm going to get paranoid or hyper-nosy about pretty much ever wee detail that is happening in that series. Well, more than I was, I mean lol

And still no trailer for the next episode. I miss those. Will have to hunt them down.. huh, somewhere *shrug*

Hmm so yeah stillmadlyinlovewiththatshow but somehow this episode was just okay to me. But it feels like it's a sort of calm before the storm, or something like that.

And I watched something else today - a yaoi that I was able to download thanks to [livejournal.com profile] reppu. My my was it smutty!! Pretty graphic, but then not because they sorta blurred the naughty bits - then again, there's absolutely no doubt about what is happening and blur or no blur you still see pretty much everything, you know? And even if you didn't? Believe me when I say that the sound effects definitely would make up for it, oh boy! lol

Sensitive Pornograph lives up to its name *g* The first story is already smutty enough but the other one actually has some nice BDSM theme going on, so yeah *eg* As for the plots? What about them? Yeah, there's a sort of underline story but huh... that's not exactly the main focus, but I'll admit it's always nice to know what is going on, as unrealistic as it might be - and I was curious about the Master/slave storyline in particular.

On a Smut-o-meter of 10... this anime would be a 12 or something. Wanna see a little sample? Be my guest - oh and do I need to warn you that it's not exactly works afe? Because it's not.

I sure wish I spoke Japanese, man *sigh* Or could I put an ad?

Wanted:

Japanese/French or Japanese/English translator

PS: Who's into pr0n.

*manfully does not look at spoilers*

Can I ask you where you download Lost? My download = too long. My patience = non-existent. *g*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course, I can *g* I download them from [livejournal.com profile] nuregwen via her new media comm, namely [livejournal.com profile] tinalikesstuff.

[identity profile] fraught.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, God, thank you. I knew of [livejournal.com profile] nuregwen, but I didn't know she had moved all her media stuff to a new account. I'm off to download now (the downside of bittorrent is that when I'm downloading, my computer slows down to an absolute crawl. Which means I can't surf and download at the same, which is a pain).

Again, thank you! :D

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, there was some drama and as a result, [livejournal.com profile] nuregwen created the comm. We were lucky she's quite the generous girl because someone else could have just go FO and the hell with the Lost fans, you know?

And you're welcome *g*

[identity profile] fraught.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, drama I'm blissfully unaware of :). I didn't have [livejournal.com profile] nuregwen friended, so I'm totally out of the loop.

We were lucky she's quite the generous girl because someone else could have just go FO and the hell with the Lost fans, you know?

Yeah, that would suck. Right now, my torrent download is at a whole 2%, whereas [livejournal.com profile] nuregwen's downloads are at 44% :D :D :D. Lost shall soon be mine and then I can finally read everyone's reviews.

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Blissfully unaware is the correct word, alright. I'm afraid the whole thing suceeded in annoying me enough to almost go and comment too, which I never do because wankage isn't worth it. But this time, I'll admit it really itched me *cough*

I'm curious to see what you'll think of it *g*

[identity profile] fraught.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, I know what you mean about commenting in wanks. It is so very tempting at times :|. But I never do, because the last thing I want is to end up in a gigantic flamewar :)

The download is here, so I can finally see it!

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! And don't forget the report... well, if you want to write one, I mean lol No pressure or anything *eg*

[personal profile] crazybutsound 2005-01-13 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Now I really really want to watch this thing and the one torrent you linked to doesn't want to work! *wails* Woe is pornless me! ;-p

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I linked to a torrent? *blink* *claps finger* Oh yeah, alright I remember this link. I didn't dl it via any torrent link so that's why.

I'll try to upload the anime if you want. Let's hope YSI will cooperate *g*
crazybutsound: (boy love)

[personal profile] crazybutsound 2005-01-13 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooo, that'd be nice, but isn't it going to take you forever? I mean, don't want you to be forced to stay online so long or something. *smooch* And how did you download it if not from that torrent the? *is puzzled* I usually like torrents, but this one really really doesn't want to work. *cries*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
The heavier the file, the longer it takes, but you know Clark is on as long as I'm home and since I'm not going out right now, it's not a problem at all, I don't mind *g* The real question is, will YSI cooperate or not. Last week I desperately tried to upload Lost for [livejournal.com profile] babycakesin, I literally tried all day to do so and it never worked *sigh* So cross your fingers *g*

I downloaded it thanks to YSI as a matter of fact *g* That's how I get lots of my anime-series-whatever.
crazybutsound: (boy love)

[personal profile] crazybutsound 2005-01-13 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaaaah! I see. :-) And I suppose the YSI link in question doesn't work anymore? Because if it did, it would save you the trouble. And yeah, I know what it's like. Last time it took me three days just to upload about 10 songs. Small ones and all, when it usually takes a few minutes. Depends on how many people are using it, I suppose. But hey, there's no rush. I can wait. ;-)

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think so, no. And even then, I'll admit that I wouldn't really feel comfortable sharing the link since the girl was kind enough to upload the file again to send it to a bunch of us and if someone else in that group couldn't download it because I gave it away, it wouldn't be fair, you know? Yes, I can have scruples sometimes lol
crazybutsound: (boy love)

[personal profile] crazybutsound 2005-01-13 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry darling! I found a brand new link on [livejournal.com profile] yaoi_daily. :-D But thank you for talking about it because I wouldn't have gone to check out new yaoi if you hadn't. *smooch*

Am downloading the file as we speak. :-)

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-14 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Alrighty then *g*

And I'm curious to know what you thought about it! The sound effects in particular lol

[identity profile] katikat.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
*squeeeeeeeeeee* You have Sensitive Pornography? I can´t find it anywhere!!! >.< Could you upload it for me to YSI? *chibi eyes*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I already started. I was going to send it to you and Tai, just in case *eg*

[identity profile] katikat.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! If you would like me to send you something, just shout!

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-14 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Eee thanks *g* You seem to have so many more yaoi or anime now, I wouldn't know where to start to be honest lol

And I sent you a mail btw, just let me know if you do receive it, thanks!

[identity profile] katikat.livejournal.com 2005-01-14 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, I received the email and did as you recommended. And I promise, I will mum about it *zipping her lips*

Thank you so much, Lexie! It´s really hot :D

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-14 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you liked it, and you're quite welcome *g*

[identity profile] whitevanilla.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent review I must say. Like I've said before, I always enjoy reading your Lost! reviews. :)

And here's a random question for you...

So I went to McDonald's yesterday, something I rarely do because I really can't stand fast food. Anyway, their slogan is "I'm lovin' it" and they have it plastered everywhere, including on their cups. And on the cups they have that slogan translated into several languages. For French it says, "C'est ça que j'm." Now I was just wondering if "j'm" is short for "j'aime" because that is all I could figure, and if "j'm" is used often.

Thanks! :)

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Why, thank you, girl *bows*

No, 'j'm' isn't short for 'j'aime' *g* It's really just a play on word, ie the M of McDonal'd and the verb 'love' in French - which sound the same so yeah, for that particular slogan, it works really well, but it's really just a neat little trick *g*

Then again, to be really correct - yes, you could eventually see 'j'm' writing that way, but it would be net speak or text speak, you know?

But in everyday speech or text, you won't ever see that expression *g*

[identity profile] whitevanilla.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you ma'am! It all makes sense now! :)

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Mais je t'en prie *g*

[identity profile] audrarose.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
somehow this episode was just okay to me.

I know what you mean... so they're not brother and sister. so Boone's in love with her (well, duh.) And Boone is not gay, which I really thought was going to be the big secret and I'm disappointed on both the non-progressive mass media front AND the slash-watcher front. *sigh* Because Boone lying on top of Locke was kind of nice. *g*

They didn't kill Shannon, which was cool.

He's from the dark side, oh, yeah. Unless he really is just connected to the island, and like nature, is neither good nor evil, simply amoral. Then again, John Locke, the philosopher believed in the essential goodness of humanity, though, so... aaagh!

Weren't you wondering what the hell a deserted island needs an underground bunker for?

hmmm....

I left you a note on my lj yesterday *g*. The package and my note are coming separately, due to shipping department weirdness... I thought I'd mention it just in case the software shows up first.*g*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Was sorta slow-paced even - well, once you realise Boone and Shannon Big Bad Adventure was just a druggie hallucination, I mean *g*

I like your Locke theory... one thing is sure, that man is one hell of a mysterious scary thing! He's a pretty fascinating character.

This bunker thing really is intriguing, and they know how to drag the mystery, don't they?

Damn, I saw the post and forgot to send a comment, sorry *shakes head* I might have been distracted by something I saw on the flist and then I forgot. And thanks, I won't get too surprised, then *g*

[identity profile] ladyeclectic79.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, I'm into porn, I'm into porn!!! *lol* But you know this already I think... ;)

Whoa, I am still in absolute love with Locke. I swear he really is Yoda on growth hormone. :) That man is SO freaking insightful; I adore the twists and turns that he seems to create that make this show so much deeper. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I think what's in that box is Michael and his boyfriend in happier times. His son's mentioned his other dad, and I honestly can't remember (and it may be because my brain's going) that his dad and his mom are in any way together...I think he's the one that the crew mentions as not being straight. Either way I really want to see a backstory on HIM because I really like the family dynamic I'm seeing, but I'm pretty sure that's going to be next season. *sigh* Although, from the looks of it, there's going to be something about them next week.....

Gah, when this season ends I will be highly distraught because they sure have a lot they can leave as cliffhangers. Oy....

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I sorta had my suspicions, yeah lol

Locke is so fascinating, isn't he? And you really need to go and find the episode that's Locke centric, because you would love it!

Ohh a pic of his boyfriend, huh? That would be cool, and quite a twist because in a way, I have the feeling people are starting to think Jack is the gay character, which would be mighty fine by me btw lol

As for the 'other dad', Walter mentioned, I think he was referring to his mother's boyfriend/husband because I think Michael and Walter actually didn't know each other until the kid's mom died and Michael had to go to Sydney to bring him to the States...

And I don't know anything more because I'm going spoiler free, but it seems that next will be about Walt and Michael. So maybe you'll get your wish *g*

I'm still rooting for Sawyer and/or Sayid to be the not-so-straight shooter because Sawyer/Sayid....Daaaaaaaaamn. *drool*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-14 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a Jack/Charlie myself. Though... I also dig Hurley/Charlie and I used to dig Locke/Charlie too. Don't want to give up on those, though my OTP#1 is definitely Jack/Charlie *g*

Ooooh....

[identity profile] maaaaa.livejournal.com 2005-01-14 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ooooh, Oooooh...I actually saw this ep of Lost last night! The bugman was on the computer doing a homework project and in a moment of weakness my hubby gave up control of the remote...so I started surfing and voila! Lost! and I thought hey...let's have a look-see what all the hoopla is about. And it looked interesting and all but coming in at a point where I had no clue who the characters are or what any of their stories are or even what *the* story is...left me lost...*groan* :p

Re: Ooooh....

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-14 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't this like the second episode you saw? Talk about a record or something lol

I bet you were lost! And I don't count the lame puns we made over this title, btw. That might be one of the problems with that kind of shows, if you start watching in the middle... there's no way you could really grasp everything. Which is why I'm so happy that I was able to start from the, well, start lol

Re: Ooooh....

[identity profile] maaaaa.livejournal.com 2005-01-16 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Actually...I saw about 10 minutes of the end of an ep once about a month ago...while I was wrapping Christmas presents I think. I was just as lost, of course, at that time...I think somebody got hung? *shrugs* oh well...guess I'll just go back to my read/write one fandom only and actual TV viewing of SG1 only. *G*

Re: Ooooh....

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-01-16 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhhh that was the wonderful episode where the means producers wanted us to believe they'd killed my dear Charlie! That was a good episode, that one *nodnod*
