* I suck at commenting this week unless it involves comment fic. Maybe Lost will jolt me out of my malaise? I hope so, cause crappy mood is crappy. Also were we all aware that there’s no new Lost next week? I do not approve of this development.
* So remember how I was wringing my hands over the new Doctor a few months ago? I believe I said Smith was too young to play the role and it was going to suck and I wanted Ten back…I’m an idiot. Just putting that out there.
Eleven is brilliant, like mind-blowingly-I-would-follow-this-guy-off-a-cliff brilliant. I watched the first episode twice in a twenty-four hour period and I promise you I will be watching it again before Saturday. And Amy Pond! I already love this woman. I love her because she lives in a small town and spends all of her time looking at the stars, because she doesn’t want to settle, because she’s a little screwed up and her life isn’t going the way she wants it too and because she has red hair.
Also there were lens flares and cracks in the wall and bowties. *hearts*
Is it Saturday yet?
* I went to see Date Night last weekend and it was right up my alley humor wise. It also made me realize something sad but true about myself: I like my relationships like I like my couches…comfy and worn in. This is true in my fiction and my real life. I don’t like those OMG we can’t keep our hands off each other, I love you/I hate you things. They exhaust me and bore me. I just want to see two people who love each other hang out and make fun of the super kissy couple at the next table. Is that too much to ask universe? You know for me and for the fictional people I love?
All this is to say: Steve Carell/Tina Fey= OTP. I now want Liz/Michael fic. That should be a thing.
* Kate Nash has a new CD out today! Oh how I adore that woman and her delightfully boppy, British pop music.
*Hey I wrote stuff! I’m going to put this here so I can locate everything later.

Stolen from alliecat8:
When you see this, quote LOST in your journal
“Taco night? I don’t do taco night!”
“The ditch had a gun?”
“Oh you guys have an inside joke. How absolutely wonderful for you both.”
“Dude, he’s Korean. I’m from Encino.”
“You still got my back?”
“Absolutely.”
Ahem. So I was going to post one final list today of my all-time favorite Lost moments, but then I decided to hold off on that particular list until season six is over. Ideally, this season is going to offer me just as many moments to love as the first five did so I want to be able to include them as well.
Ah, who am I kidding? The truth is I have the attention span of a hyperactive three-old who just ate an entire pack of Oreo’s today and I couldn’t sit still long enough to string words together into actual sense-making sentences. IT’S LOST DAY.OMG.
But also, the first thing.
In a failed attempt to distract myself I watched an episode of SPN since I haven’t watched one in about a week. I watched “On the Head of a Pin”, which I’m probably going to need to watch again now because it seemed like a big mission statement for the season kind of episode and I kept zoning out and trying to estimate how many tissues I’m going to need to get through the Lost premiere.
But my very brief, not particulary spoilery thoughts under the cut.
( On the Head of a Pin )Can I has Lost now? Please?
Alright guys, I’ll be back to posting scene lists tomorrow, but today I have to ask you to forgive me for taking a little detour and being incredibly wordy. Um…sorry about that in advance.
There are certain episodes of Lost that I feel are inarguably great: “Walkabout”, “The Constant”, “The Man Behind the Curtain”, “Through the Looking Glass”---they’re classics plain and simple. But for every classic there’s a little episode that has either been forgotten or ignored or in some cases just plain detested.
Weirdly, some of these episodes are actually among my favorites. I chose these eight episodes in particular because of their ambition or because they reveal something interesting about the characters. They’re not perfect, most of them are deeply flawed and in some cases I think the concept was far better than the execution with the exception of the first one which is pure brilliance.
And no, “Stranger in a Strange Land” is not on this list. Sorry Darlton, even I can’t defend that one.
