Simply enough I'm starting to grow tired of an alarmingly growing trend. I will post something here. Two weeks later I will go to one of two "Lost" fansites that I frequent. I will see the exact same thing I posted here on my blog recapitulated with less stylistic verve and casual swearing. More to the point: Will you dirty cunting fuckers throw me a credit for this shit? Seriously. What you are all doing is morally questionable and dishonest and just plain lazy. And I know you'll see this when you're surfing the web for interessting theories on Lost or someone to do the cognitive heavy lifting for you. Or you already know to come here when the well gets dry. So in closing, I'm not going to stop my meager postings. And, I'm going to stop bitching about the intellectual theft that permeates the staid writings of the "Lost" blogosphere. I just want you to know that I know. And I want you to know that I know that you know that I know. And I want you to know that I know that you know that I know that this Kill bill vol. 1 joke doesn't really fit in (I mean the Zoe Bell connection is a weak one...I really just thought that this would be a funny way to end it.)
And onto LaFleur. So first thing is the Miles as Marvin Candle's baby theory really gained some legs. Here's why: I went to BuddyTV's Lost Easter Eggs (Shocking someone credited another source) and they said that it was interessting that Miles' fake Darhma name was Enos because Enos is the son of Seth who was the rival of Horus. So, thusly I think that it's a pretty interessting clue to both a coming enmity betwixt Candle and Horace, but also that Miles is the progeny of Candle.
And hey, they showed the statue...which is probably Horus (yet again BuddyTV). So, the ancient egyptians then. Makes sense when you think about it seeing as many fringe anthropologists have stated that there may be some extra-planetary connection between the pyramid building cultures of central America and the Egyptians.
They stopped the time jumps. Nobody is more thrilled about this then me. At the same time though...retcon much? Okay, big thing here is this...how in the name of sweet fuck all are we supposed to be alright with the fact that there has been a picture on the island with Sawyer, Jin, Jack and the rest for the past thirty odd years and nobody has said "Hey, aren't you that guy from the picture?" But hey, it worked in "The Shining" (the movie...obviously...go read the book though...it's actually scary...keep in mind I haven't read it in fifteen years so my opinion may be jaundiced by nostalgia.) Just saying is all.
Sawyer and Juliet: Works for me. Also kind of interessting, as it goes with the shows mythos and themes of role reversal in relation to the island and the outside world, that the two people who were in pretty darn dysfunctional relationships off island (con man/ perennial other woman) could make it work on island. Although hopefully doesn't pull a Kate and opt to attempt a reconnection with Kate. Because Kate will never love Sawyer for who he is as Jack will never love Kate for who she is.
Baby Charlotte: Math don't work... unless she was lying about her age. Or the island made a time jump while she was on it...actually that's probably going to happen when they breach the wall and build the Orchid station. And then everyone ends up in their appropriate time again, possibly. Which probably happens in the finale or beforehand.
The pace: far more ginger since 316 aired. Really glad they didn't drag that out. Still curious as to why Hurley got on that plane though. Maybe Libby will show up. God willing.
Sawyer and Alpert: Good shit. And hey, finally the original characters are back to doing the outwitting again. When oh when do we get the Alpert flashback episode? I mean, dammit, this is the one character I desperately want to get answers for and...nothing. Although the eye-liner/ statue of Horus connection are already starting to percolate in the mind grapes. (ancient Egyptians...eye liner...read a book.)
So, the real question: Why is Sun in the present? I'm just curious is all. Oh, and why did Abadon go out so easily in last week's episode? I mean you build this guy up. You have him showing up periodically as this enigmatic figure and then gun shot. And by that same token: If Widmore knew to send Abadon to encourage Locke to get on the flight that put him on the island in the first place...why wouldn't he put some of his people on it? As in, the guy knows all of this shit to push Locke onto the plane. And yes, I know it's because there was no Charles Widmore before season 2, but you could even work that as a slightly more digestible retcon. And then they're all like Rose is the mole. (cue sound effect)
Lost Seasons 1 & 2 on Blu-Ray: Well played. They found a way to make me by the same DVDs twice...again.
That's about it really.
