Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
We are working our travel plans for tomorrow around the rewatch of OMGWTFPOLARBEAR! The joys of fandom.
When I told my parents the last day of class was today, their obvious reaction was, "Well, then you can fly home on the fifteenth!" But I didn't want to miss
Lost,
so I convinced them to let me fly home on the sixteenth, knowing my brother would tape
The O.C.
for me. Thank God I did, because when we booked that ticket, I hadn't known my test in cardio pharm was a take-home. Which I got four hours ago.
I never read any of Jessica's recaps, so Shack, Aaron, and Miss Ali have been my favorite recappers. I stopped reading Strega's Angel recaps to avoid influencing my own, but we have very similar critical takes on the show (just with 33% less Wesley hate in my case).
Demian is probably the most likely candidate for the slot since he's been following the show all along, but I think I best enjoy the bitterness of his recaps when leveled at shows that are badly done. I don't ever feel defensive about slams against Alyssa Milano, y'know?
Dan Kwa started off strong, but I think like SNL writers he has no sense of when his own jokes stop being funny. And so they do, with increasing frequency.
So. I rewatched today while I was dumping it off from the Tivo's hard drive to the DVD recorder's hard drive.
I remember that I wanted to comment on Locke rejecting Michael -- remember, Michael was the one who got busted up on Locke's first boar hunt. Definitely a dynamic there. Out of the remaining characters, I think his is the backstory I'm most curious about. Think it'll be redeeming? That there was a really good reason why he was a bad absentee dad?
At what point did Locke lose the track? Was it geographically near enough the mysterious metal object to have that be more building than vault? Locke had heard Sayid's "We're not alone" but Boone probably hadn't yet, eh? This island needs some Fair Information Dissemination system.
That there was a really good reason why he was a bad absentee dad?
My theory is that when he met Walt's mom, he was an artist, and after the baby was born, she decided he was too unreliable and irresponsible and left with the baby to Australia. There eventually she met a man who she felt was a more stable provider. Meanwhile, Michael decided he wanted to win her back and started doing construction work to provide a more stable economic base for her to see he was responsible. When she and her husband were killed in an accident, Michael took over trying to be Walt's father, but they really don't know each other well....
At least that's what my fanfic would show, based upon scant clues in the show. If I were able to focus and write it.
Nah, my take on Michael is that he was a CB in the Navy. Met her while he was deployed to Australia. Got her pregnant and then had to leave to go back to Gulfport, MS. She decided not to wait for him to get out of the Navy and married some other guy who could be there for her.
this was posted at the Fuselage by a poster named MARCEE. it made me laugh and i had to share it with you guys.
There once was a plane that had crashed
The fuselage got pretty smashed
Pretty people were stranded
On the beach where they landed
They might as well drink til
they're trashed!
A doctor, a druggie and Kate
Some guy who is quite overweight
John Locke kind of acts
Like Steve Irwin on crack
I think I'll ask Sawyer to mate.
Then there's a pregnant chick named Claire
And a random dead polar bear
We all wonder 'bout Ethan
We all think he's a heathen
Sayid sweats more than anyone there.
We obssess more than most fans we know
About this new ABC show
We spend way too much time
Hanging out here online
If we're not careful we'll turn into Rosseau!
For now that is all I can say
But tomorrow's another day
If you want to hear more
I'm a spoiler whooooore
And I'm only a keyboard away
Looks like the new
Lost
recapper is Daniel. I've never read his recaps, though I think I've skimmed through a
Sports Night
recap or two once I discovered their existence.
Are you ready, Daniel? This could get confusing.
Oh, man. I thought the one guest recap he did was awful. Here's hoping he improves, and fast.
Totally unrelatedly: P-C! I got the photos you sent me! Thanks so much. I'm sorry the one of Kiki vs. the Statue of Liberty didn't come out better.
Is Daniel also the Sopranos recapper? I'm pretty sure I've read other recaps by him.
