Loading ...Forget all the flash backs, flash forwards, distending of time, destroying of fetuses in utero, and rapid aging of Walt,
This is what the Island on Lost really does to you. . .
It destroys your peripheral vision.
Can no one see someone sneaking up on them?
Nothing really happened on the show last night, so not a lot to talk about. Although I’m beginning to like Ben. Didn’t see that happening.
And Kate is really stupid. “Allow me to very deliberately walk in front of a woman I know to be my enemy. Then allow me to bend over so she can have easy access to my head when she knocks me out.”
Idiot.
It wasn’t really a bad episode. Just not as good as the other weeks have been lately.
Hope next week is better.
Buy me a beer!

see, i always liked how weasly ben was. i kinda loved to hate him, liked how they used him all lucifer-like to twist everything around, wondered why they didn’t just ball-gag him 24/7, got to laugh evilly every time he was onscreen and played someone, all of that…
…but now, after he that business telling jules-muffin she was HIS? i very much just want to kill him viciously but slowly and other than that, i don’t care anymore. that was it.
maybe i have issues, sure, but i’m done finding him interesting.
I thought the whole “you’re mine” thing was, quite frankly, a little OTT. It weakens Ben as a character, and I think they thought that it would make him scarier. Additionally, it was completely out of character. Ben thinks everyone is his to do with as he pleases. He even has Sayid killing people for him. So why would Juliette be any more “his” than anyone else? Are we supposed to believe he is obsessed with Juliette because he thinks she’s purty? I guess that inner ear dehydrated thing is appealing to some people.
And if the last Star Wars movie taught us anything (other than George Lucas forgot how to make good movies), it is that the love of a bland, uninteresting woman will make you go to the dark side.
At least Ben isn’t harming Juliette. Only the people she sleeps with.
As to Ben himself, from day one, I kept saying “Just shoot the fucker!” Or at the very least “Quit talking to him!” I thought it was stupid that he could keep engaging the Losties when they should have just ignored him. It seemed plot driven and not well thought out. And so he annoyed me.
I’ve just learned to accept that, for whatever reason, people will talk to Ben. Maybe that is where their peripheral vision goes — towards focusing on Ben.
But did love the way he said, “I taped over the game.”
Well I’m glad you’re making more Lost posts, because I got no clue whats going on and who those people are. I’m watching it because Supernatural isn’t back until April 24th (that whole writer’s strike thingy).
Most of the characters I don’t recognize, and the ones I do recognize are the ones I don’t give a flying fuck about.
Just… turn Locke loose on all those bastards.
Oh, and this kind of reminds me of Jack. If Jack were cuter.
And tougher.
I see that some sites are publishing unofficial pictures of Jack!
I guess you’ll see out the end of the season on Lost then — although I heard they were condensing the remaining 8 shows of the season into 5. So maybe they’ll go on into May. I don’t know.
There just wasn’t much to post about this week because we didn’t learn anything that we didn’t already know.
The new Australian Nicole Kidman lite growls at people and tries to look tough.
Check.
Ben is still a bastard, and one with ownership issues.
Check.
Locke still listens to Ben even though he’s lied at them and even SHOT HIM IN THE BACK!!
Check.
Jack and Kate are still stupid and annoying.
Check.
Juliette still needs to drink some water and get that inner ear thing seen about.
Check.
Everybody and their smoke monster wants to sleep with Juliette and Kate for reasons that escape me.
Check.
But, I’ll continue to post as long as Jack, Juliette, Desmond, and Kate remain annoying. (although Desmond was somewhat redeemed by his violating of their own mental time traveling rules, and the fact that he looks better with long hair and beard than without said same.)
So I’ll keep positing and posting for the rest of the series, I guess.
Oh good. Cuz I’m gonna need someone to explain it to me.
Yeah, I never understood why Locke let himself get shot in the back. that was so not Locke to do something so stupid. Kate would turn her back on the creepiest guy on the island. Jack would turn his back on the creepiest guy on the island. But Locke?
Someone should shoot the writers in the back.
Someone should shoot those writers in the back. I mean, I accept that Jack and Kate are stupid, but not Locke.
Maybe I’ll add other posts about other shows I watch (which right now is not very many, but Doctor Who returns next month.)
Lord knows I wouldn’t want to actually blog about anything personal or intellectually stimulating.
Well, I know you’re reading that book about the plague. You could share all kinds of fun facts about rampant disease and misery in one of history’s darkest hours.
Not a bad idea! I’ll do a post later today on the plague.
What do Christians do when confronted by unimaginable amounts of death?
Why strip half naked, beat themselves silly, and burn Jewish people, of course.
Well, OBVIOUSLY. What else would they do?
