OMGWTF! Why can I not stop coughing?! I don't think I'm sick, I don't feel sick, but I CAN'T STOP COUGHING! *grumble* *cough*

I blame it all on allergies.

Yes,
Sawyer is hot. That's about all of the interest I have in his character. I have a very difficult time feeling his pain and I'm not quite sure why. Was I supposed to be touched by the 'tender' bar scene between Sawyer and Jack's Dad?! It just wasn't a good scene, clunky and chock full of too much exposition.

I pity the guy but emotionally I have little to no connection to him. But, you know, it doesn't matter because he is very, very hot.

Hurley should be King of the Island. He seems to be the only one who knows how to get things done. While Jack is dithering in the jungle with his guns (and you can read that any ol' way you want) and Locke is wandering around being Wilderness!Man, Hurley is making sure that Ethan is buried and checking on Charlie's psychological well-being. I love Hurley.

I also love Sayid and wasn't his scene with Sawyer just the cutest? If I were to make one of those Hot Guy lists today Naveen Andrews would totally be on it.

I feel a little robbed of Charlie angst. The end of the episode seemed to suggest that he was all over his PTSD and was ready to be a psychologically stable member of the community. It's almost as if emotion is being sacrificed for plot in most of the storylines and it's a wee bit unfulfilling. I'm officially in 'wait and see' mode.

And while everyone is squeeing over the cuteness of Charlie and Claire, I am nervous. Maybe I've watched too much genre tv in my life, but I just don't trust happy, cute relationships. Something horrible always happens (for example: this is why I am nervous that Dr. Webster over on ER is going to turn out to have some horrible secret). I want the happy to be real and last but my intuition is shouting 'Pain is coming! Just you wait!'

I hear that starting in March there's going to be a 6 week hiatus for our show. The people at ABC really do hate us, don't they?

I brought left-over cheesecake into the office today and people need to start eating it or else I might eat it all and that would be baaaaad.

I hear you about the cough honey. I feel like I'm going to start hacking loose and bringing up some internal organs with all the phlegm sooner of later.
Nice image for you there.
x.

Yeah, real nice image, but extremely appropriate, unfortunately.

I'm beginning to think that the internet transmits real viruses, along with cyber one.

[hiyacynth.livejournal.com]

Yeah. What you said about Lost.

Bleh. Conference call time.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

I am so grateful that BoB has come into my life because while I enjoy Lost it just isn't filling the obssession need in my life. Poor Lost is second place in my heart.

Ugh, conference call. Don't they know that you have much more important, fannish things that you could be doing?

OMG! When he was smirking at Sawyer at the beginning of the episode and Sawyer was looking all rumpled and disgruntled, between the two of them my TV started smoking! Too much hotness.

I didn't interpret Charlie's walk with Claire as being all over the PTSD, just trying to take Sayid's advice and not cut himself off from everyone. But I agree that while there is plenty of hurt to go around, they never really deal with the consequences, except in nickel-sized doses.

And of course there's going to be a world of hurt with Charlie and Claire. It's unavoidable. Charlie is inevitably going to do something stupid and piss her off, weird things are going to happen with her baby that make her paranoid, the mind just boggles at all the things that are going to go wrong. But in the meantime, I love seeing them together now.

Hurley. What is there to say about Hurley, except: Give us his damn story already! Hurley is the most together guy on the island, but you know he's gonna fall apart somewhere along the line and that's when everyone will realize that he was the one holding everything together.

They do seem to like to skim over the consequences. Part of that is probably because the main cast is so extensive. It's hard to have a character based weekly tv drama when there are so many characters to focus on. You know, this season is kind of like the prologue of a book, setting up the characters and action for when the plot really kicks in.

I should just sit back and enjoy the Charlie/Claire because it is devestatingly cute. Sometimes I just want to kick that doom and despair voice that likes to sound off in the back of my head. I blame Farscape, I really do;-).

Big.Fat.Word on your Hurley comments. I want to see his episode yesterday. I'm kind of hoping that there's no big trauma in his past, that he's an ordinary guy because that's one of the things I enjoy so much about his character, that he's just like one of us.

It's a lot of fun when the tv starts smoking.

Maybe Hurley is Tom Bombadil. "Who is Tom Bombadil?"

i dunno, we're not getting "Lost" till March. I'm looking forward to it, though.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Ha! Hurley = Tom Bombadil. You know, I think this calls for fic.

And just when you get Lost those of us stateside will be suffering though a 6 week break. I promise to be annoyingly jealous *wink*.

I haven't seen the ep yet (a friend is saving it on Tivo for me), but I'm waiting for Claire to have that baby. According to Jack right before she was kidnapped, she was due in a week. three weeks later and still no baby. And I'm with you on betting that something comes up between charlie and Calire.
I think Sayid is the first Middle Eastern guy I've ever really liked in a show. I don't know why that is, but I love that guy so very, very much. :)

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

I know! Claire is beyond pregnant! It's like that kid has just decided that he never wants to leave. I've heard that first time mothers tend to carry a little longer, but this is getting ridiculous. Come on guys, just let her have the baby.

And it's impossible to not love Sayid, isn't it? He's attractive and smart and sweet and capable. So.Much.Love.

Sheesh, I just re-read my comment and saw all of the typos. I'm on a college computer with a whacky keyboard just so you know. I don't normally spell that badly! :P
