Heh. Just looked in at TwoP where they've picked up on PhoneBone's review and are now refering to Jessica as "Watercooler Wife" as if it were a proper name.
While I don't subscribe to the rampant Kate-bashing over there, the running cross-country to rescue Dr. Jack from a cave-in since it wouldn't occur to anyone else to dig him out was really over the top. To the point that I found the scene with the sling, which should have been merely good common sense in action, cloying and anvilicious instead.
I think my wish for a future episode of the show is this: Kate and Jack are sitting all close together around the romantic campfire. He talks about how he thought he was a goner in the cave, and how the thought of the effort people went to in order to save him touched him. He says he has something to ask her, and then just as the visions of china patterns engraved with KATE&JACK4EVAH!!! are dancing in her head, Jack asks "Do you think I have a shot with Charlie, or would he freak out if I hit on him?"
I didn't think Kate was running to rescue Jack, I assumed she was running because she cared about him and he had been buried in a cave-in.
The only reason she freaked at the cave was because from her POV, no one *at that point* looked like they were doing anything. She had no Idea exactly what had happened, she was pumped up on adreneline, and all she saw was inaction.
Yeah, but I kinda like Matt's scenario.
Matt's scenario cracked me up.
I've just finished watching the pilot, and all of a sudden the thread title is making a lot more sense. OMGWTF indeed.
Must post and run. Off to spread the word on the Anvil of the Year Nominations
Oh dear. The Spuffies seem to have found a new lease on life—I'm seeing a rising tide of "That BITCH Kate! How dare she be mean to/not want my woobie Sawyer?!? Beneath his gruff exterior beats a heart of a bloody awful poetgold. She doesn't deserve him anyway!" all over the internet's Lost sites.
It took Spike over three years to become the Misunderstood Bad Boy/Woobie poster child... I think Sawyer may be setting a new record.
Kawyer? Sate? Kateyer?
Nah, it won’t go long. The mushed-names don't work.
I think they have interesting chemistry/snipeistry (though Kate works best with Sayid if a pairing is required), but isn't it a little early in the series to be demonizing Kate for not prostrating herself before his matchless godly appeal?
Where was the cold fist of doom that should have closed around my heart when I agreed with others that Sawyer was striking me as very reminiscent of Spike?
