Lost 6x01 "LA X"

Let’s get this out of the way first:

MY SHIP IS ENDGAME. SHE SAW THE FUTURE WHERE THEY HAVE COFFEE AND BABIES AND A HAPPY ENDING.

If Darlton is screwing with me there will be rage the likes of which the internet has never seen.

Okay so I just need Sawyer to keep it in his pants for 15 more episodes and we’re golden.

But you guys, they made me watch her die. Again. And he was holding her in his arms and they kissed. My heart can not take much more of this. Why is Darlton trying to kill me?

Moving on:

* Okay so we have two timelines now. On island and AU. What I don’t get is the why. Not the why did that happen, but the why do we care about an AU? What’s the point of this exercise other than “Hey, look not-dead people are having their redemption arcs fucked up! Only not really cause it both happened and didn’t happened.”

What do we gain? I’m just going to try and trust that they have a plan. They have a plan right?

* MILES! OMG. He talked to Juliet and he was snarky with Hurley and he totally knows something is up with Sayid. I missed him so much. Also, how have I never noticed that he has a tattoo on the back of his neck? Guh. So pretty. So awesome.

I want to see his AU like right now.

*Charlie! Oh, God. He almost died. He wanted to die. *pets him* We better see him again. I do not approve of an AU where is alone, in jail, and that screwed up. Not cool show.

*I so wanted Boone to pop up with a pen.

*The guitar case mystery has been solved. Thank God, because that’s been driving me nuts.

*I didn’t shed any tears over Sayid because those asshats at ABC aired a promo where he was alive and well-ish in the Temple so I knew he wasn’t actually dead.

But what is he now? What does he lack? The Temple always takes something right.

*Still loved watching Jack try to save him though. I also loved defiant Jack resurfacing there at the end. About damn time.

*Quick someone save the children from the scary cult! I half expected one of them to slip a help me note to Jack.

*Sol Starr is on the island! That’s just cool.

*I already like the Man in Black like ten thousand times more than Jacob. “Let’s not call names.” Heh.

And BRAM got STAKED. I laughed my ass off, which thank you show I needed a laugh after you tortured with The Demise of Juliet pt. 2.

*Also ash rings as protective circles, black smoke monsters---the SPN/Lost crossovers are writing themselves.

*Home is where now? Also, RICHARD! Poor guy. Did we just get confirmation that he was a slave on the Black Rock?

*The Boone/Locke convo was made of win. I’ve missed him. Shannon didn’t come back with him in this universe? Interesting.

*What’s up with Des? Shouldn’t he have drowned if there was no island wash up on? Was he time-traveling/universe hopping?

*Red scar on Jack’s neck. Was I supposed to know what that means?

*Claire’s in the cab! Very cool. I approve of this development.

*And to end this on a light note: Josh Holloway I love you, but dude you look nothing like you did six years ago. That just looked wrong.

All in all a promising start, still not sure why we're hanging out in the Alt-verse it’s kind of like half of the show is fanfiction now. But I’m not going to complain if it means I get a happy ending for my girl. Which I damn well better.

There will probably be more substantial /less spazzy thoughts tomorrow after I process. I just had to get some of the squee out.

Even the babies...and I'm a babyfic-hater.

I don't even like babies, but I want them to have them. And a house where Sawyer can mow the lawn shirtless and they can burn muffins together and just generally be awesome. I'm a little bit terrified of how invested I am in this ship. Like, I didn't ship anyone on Lost until they happened and now my entire enjoyment of the series appears to depend on two things: 1)Sawyer not breaking my heart and sleeping with and/or riding off into the sunset with Kate and 2)Some version of Juliet being alive and getting her damn happy ending with the man she loves. That's seriously all I want from this show. And for Miles and Hurley to not die. But mostly the first thing.

If anyone could fix the temple's magical stream it's totally Sayid.;)

Heh. I'm starting discussions? I had no idea. I think I said this to someone up above, but I'll say it again. I think the real problem with airport!Sawyer was that six years ago Josh Holloway looked like a boy. The clothes, the hair, the attitude, the physique---he was like a disgruntled teenager, which was fine.

But Holloway (and Sawyer) looks like a man now. He is a man now, which I love because man>boy any day of the week. So seeing him in his old-school outfit made me feel like I was watching him play dress up. I guess that's the part of me that always liked Sawyer, but absolutely loves James. He's grown so much in six seasons, and I love that about him.

But also the hair. That's just too much to be slicking back like that. ;)

totally agree about Josh Holloway. he was so...so...UN-sexy...

Miles' tattoo -yummm!

also, Richard is hot, I want him to be ok and I want to see him in these chains Flocke was taling about, definitely!

I have total faith that there will be no more Skate, EVER. Not in the island scenario, at least. There's no love there, and neither of them is in the mood for a fling -- he just lost his love and she just lost her child. No, not even Darlton would go there; it would be unthinkable.

I agree that both Josh and Sawyer have grown up in the last few years, and that seeing him in the Humpy's shirt was disorienting. I won't complain about the hair, though, just as long as I can dream about running my fingers through it. ;)
