I was just going to mention about The Incredibles music being by the same composer! That is an enviable body of work.

Hers is real, I believe, as she actually is Australian. Just like DDK is actually Korean.

You remember how I have this rant I go on periodically that goes something along the lines of "Why can't they find a damned (Asian/Native American/etc.) actor that *is* the actual race being depicted?" And then someone always waves a hand in my general direction and says, "But what's wrong with people playing across Asian races when that's okay across European races?" And then I go on this whole other tangent about the reason that people can't tell Asian races apart is because on screen they are always portrayed as interchangeable. And then I have this last tangent about how I wouldn't mind if people played across all race lines, so long as minority actors could play Caucasian characters without eyebrow raising, just as Caucausian actors tend to have that freedom.

You remember that?

It's so nice that I don't have to do that for this show. It's really, really refreshing.

You know what else? I keep forgetting that it's the same actor that was in Roswell. I love that. I love an actor that can sweep me up so utterly in their portrayal that I have no memory of them ever being anyone other than their current character.

Charlie is almost always Charlie to me, too. I rarely (already!) look at him and think hobbit. And this is coming straight out of a major role in a major portrayal that I spent a great deal of time obsessing over.

Oh yes. Every single one of these actors (of course, it helps that I've not seen most of them before) has really claimed their character. There is no Adam Knight in Boone, no Kendall in Locke, no Merry in Charlie, no Gavin in Jin. It's pretty damn awesome.

Okay, I may be exaggerating with the "no," of course, but I never really think of their other characters when watching the show because they're so into the ones they're playing at that moment.

Oh yeah! I was thinking how they have to kill off a main character eventually to let us know they're serious and anything can happen, etc. I think Jin should get eaten, freeing up Sun to hook up with Michael. And also, it would be either amusing or irritating to get Jin's backstory postmortem.

I think Jin should get eaten, freeing up Sun to hook up with Michael.

Aw, poor Jin.

I gotta agree though, in a way that's not at all related to the loveliness of DDK, Jin is the character I'm the least invested in. Or Boone, because he actively annoys me.

Someone over at TwoP mentioned that Walt's character will be problematic in the coming seasons if the island-time continues to tickle on slower compared to ours, because the actor is gonna grow, and grow SOON. One way to deal with this would be to kill off Walt (NOOOO!). Or fanwank Walt's accelerated growth as owing to the mysterious propoerties of the island.

I'm still afraid for Claire the most. 'Cause she's lovely and uncomplicated and sweet and even Sawyer acts less like a dick around her (in "Walkabout", there is a scene in which Sawyer gently hands over to her some of the effects of the deceased for the funeral pyre.) Her death will probably cause the maximum angst among the survivors (with the possible exception of Jack), and J.J. Abrams, he knows how to twist the knife.

I gotta agree though, in a way that's not at all related to the loveliness of DDK, Jin is the character I'm the least invested in.

Yeah, I have the same thing. I want the actor to have work, but I wouldn't mind the character leaving at all.

Or Boone, because he actively annoys me.

Oh, Boone has to stay and bitch at his sister, and fight with Jack, and get in everyone's way. I kind of liked him at first because he seemed like a Good Guy, but I understand some of the annoyance. I don't want him to die cause I like seeing sibling relationships on television.

Oooh, right, cause he's twelve, and oof. I share your NOOOO! I like Walt, and I like his dog, and I like his relationship with Michael. I think I may share Dan Kwa's hope that Michael does turn out to be no more than an estranged father, and not some weird kidnapper person. I've liked Michael's attempts to connect with Walt, and the scene where Walt watched his dad be a cave stability badass was so nice. To quote Dan Kwa--oops, that recap was Daniel:

Walt watches his dad take charge, with a look that unmistakably says, "Wow. My dad may not be a weird old bald white guy with a gajillion knives, but he's all right."

This text is merely so I don't have two bits of quoted text in a row.

No, Vonnie, he knows how to make people fall on knives.

Except for the part where, HOTT! Killing off the HOTT is a Bad Thing!

'Cause she's lovely and uncomplicated and sweet

I dunno. We haven't heard her backstory yet. Didn't she have that wonderful line, "I know, how modern of me." that totally piqued my interest in what's going on with her. But yeah, definitely afraid for her. I mean, how are you eight months pregnant, end up alone in a plane wreck, and don't manifest complete and utter terror and anger and bewilderment and pretty much everything else? She's sunning on the beach. She's going to give birth on a desert island with only the aid of a dubious doctor and no epidural! And an invisimechanosaur!

Will she start to freak out now that she's given way to Charlie and moved off the beach (abandoned hope for an impending rescue?)?

Didn't she have that wonderful line, "I know, how modern of me." that totally piqued my interest in what's going on with her.

Duuuude.

Sawyer is totally the father.

Somehow.

Cause I have weird thoughts.

Sawyer is totally the father.

no no wrong not right

Cause I have weird thoughts.

yes you do

Sawyer is totally the father.

Aw, sweetie. Put down the crack-pipe.

She's going to give birth on a desert island with only the aid of a dubious doctor and no epidural! And an invisimechanosaur!

Who needs an epidural when we have Sun, the Miracle Herbal Woman? For all we know, Sun could have had a little side job as a midwife while she wasn't being busy as the Conflicted Mob Wife.

I can't wait for Claire's back story. Unfortunately, my TiVo says that there is no episode in Wednesday the week after next. Stupid hiatus.

Aw, sweetie. Put down the crack-pipe.

And Vincent can read minds!

Unfortunately, my TiVo says that there is no episode in Wednesday the week after next. Stupid hiatus.

The fuck? There's no GG either. Or VM this week. WHAT WILL I WATCH? Do they expect me to read for class or something? God.
