Good morning all. Let's get right down to business.


So, last night's Lost was just about the greatest thing ever. There was suspense and intrigue and drama and dogs and resolutions and build-ups and the raft sailed away! It was all so freakishly crazy and wonderful.

Delenn, errr, Danielle (sorry, it's a bad habit that I promise to break myself of;-) and Locke are totally the power couple on the island. They'll either make great allies or wickedly wonderful adversaries. I can't wait to find out which.

I can't believe they're thinking of hiding in that freaking hatch! If Walt says don't open it then don't freaking open it!!! AAAAAAAAHHH!!!! I have to admit, first sight of that column of black smoke and I would've been hiding in the jungle, no questions asked. I wouldn't have even waited to see the raft away, I would've just run away and found some small, craggy little hole to hide in until the danger passed. If they're not going to fight then they'd better scatter.

Morale Officer!Dom is quite possibly the cutest thing evar. Locke was right, he is sweet but, you know, that boys got layers. One minute he's the goofy has-been rocker and the next he's shotting Ethan in the rain is all I'm sayin'.

I can't get over what a wonderful episode that was. I was completely wrapped up in everything and, I have to admit, I teared up when Vincent tried to follow Walt on the raft. It was such a dogly loyal thing to do, silly and brave and wonderful. I'm amazed that Walt was able to leave Vincent with Shannon with such quiet dignity, I'm 25 years old and I don't think I could leave my dog behind so easily.

I'm not sure which moment was sweeter, Walt leaving Vincent with Shannon or Sun and Jin reconciling. Wow, I love them together and singly. I look at all of these characters and am amazed by how much they've come to mean to me over the season. We have good writing and amazing acting to thank for that. Sure there have been some pacing problems, especially with the episodes in the middle of the season, but when this show is good it's very, very good. And, just think, this is only its first season.

Next week is going to tear my heart out, I just know it. I can't wait.

Seeing as hiyacynth got some frightening news last night I have declared that today is "Entertain Cyn Day" so that if she has a chance to come on line she can find something to lift her spirits. As my first offering I give you this fine audio recording.

I have last night's ep downloaded and waiting for me at home. The wait is killing me!!

You must go home and watch! It is one of the best episodes I've seen all season!

Dang. Word on all the above. A fantastic episode. The raft launch was so moving! Epic music swelling and all... awesome.

Yeah, even without the Walt warning, I do not think I would consider hiding in the hatch. *shudder*

Vincent! So sweet. And I was a puddle of mush over Jin and Sun. Jin is my new boyfriend.

I think perhaps "sings" is not the right word.

Everything was so well done. They manipulated my emotions around and around from one end of the spectrum to the other and I didn't care because it was just so good. I love the people who make this show.

And Jin and Sun! Gah! I'm so in love.

No, sings isn't exactly right. Perhaps performs would have been a better choice (as does just leads to all sorts of perverse thoughts in that particular context).

I was totally in love with this week's Lost episode. You know I share your love of Morale officer!Dom. He really was too damn cute with his messages in a bottle. And layers there are in plenty. What with the killing of Ethan, the protecting of Claire and Turniphead, the writing of silly songs called "Monster ate the Pilot" and messages in bottles. I really do love that boy. :D

I teared up a bit over Sun and Jin having their little bonding moment. Those two really needed that and it was a perfect moment, sad and sweet and hopeful all at once. Next week's episode is going to be so painful and wrenching and heartbreaking and then leave us with some terrible thing to contemplate all summer long. God, I can't wait. *big, eager grin*

I have such fear for what might happen next week. The tension is building and I just know that horrible, terrible things are about to happen. *flails*

We're all horrible masochists, aren't we? We want them to hurt us, we're looking forward to the experience. *is so excited*

Last night was so surreal. I've been watching Oz which is narrated by the actor who plays Michael on Lost and I went from Oz to Lost and back to Oz again. It's like, oh, look, he escaped the island only to end up at a maximum security prison in dredlocks and a wheelchair...

I definitely agree. The "let's all hide in the hatch!" plan has to be stupidest thing ever. Seriously. Let's all go in one place where we will be trapped and can only get out of in single file and we don't even know what's in there. STUPID! If they all band together to fight - lay ambushes and such you'd think it would work much better...

And Dom was so very cute! *loves on Dom some more*

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Hee. I so have to see Oz. It is another entry on my eternal Netflix queue that I hope to see before the turn of the next century. I'm sure it will tilt the Vortex on its head.

You know, the people on that island really need some paratroopers to tell them how to go about things like this. You don't go and hide everyone in the little hatch where they'll be trapped. You clean your guns, organize defensive positions and dig in. *rolls eyes* Sheesh, even Sobel would have a better handle on things.

[abyssinia4077.livejournal.com]

Oz is interesting. Yesterday I posted screencaps of Kirk in it - it's like Joe Toye turned bad. As a show, I'm a bit undecided. I think I prefer watching characters who I don't feel bad liking.

The island definitely needs paratroopers! Because the "hide in the hatch" idea is so stupid! Tee hee! *imagines Sobel getting them to doulbe time the mountain thing in the middle of the island "three polar bears up, three polar bears down"*

And Dom was so very cute! *loves on Dom some more*

Ha! And to think, four months ago you didn't know which hobbit he was. I'm so proud.

Oddly, I think I meant to type "Charlie" there since I do think of him as Charlie. But the post used "Dom" and I parroted.

He...was....Merry????

A robot, a pirate ship and blowing open the Captain Tripps hatch with dynamite!!!! WHEEEEEE!!!!!

WHEEEEEE!!!

Could this show get any more cracked out? Could you be any more psychic? When Boone the Orangutan shows up I will officially bow down and worship, or possibly eat a cookie.

I adore you. Will download "music" files tomorrow from work computer (hauled across country), which has software that can support it. Mom's computer... not so much.

Oh, so very tired. Too much rushing around like an inside-out chicken, too much travel, too much stress, not enough food or sleep. But things are looking up.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Just doing my bit for the company, ma'am. *wink*

I'm so glad to hear that things are looking up. Poor, poor tired and worried Cyn. *grabs blanket, forces you over to couch, tucks you in*
