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.
I want to have Cleolinda's babies.
OK, I'll try posting the preview here, for now. I will give extra space for those who want to skip
Here is the preview for next week's Lost episode:
Narrator: Next Wednesday...
We open on a shot of Locke all the way to the left of the screen, sitting on the beach and staring out at the ocean. A close up of Locke overlaps this shot and fades in, and the camera swings around Locke to reveal the beach and the fuselage. Locke is looking stern.
Narrator: ...on an island, full of secrets...
The shot quickly fades out and is replaced by a long shot of Sayind and Kate standing on the beach, facing the water, but turning back to look behind and to the left. As the narrator speaks the word secrets, a close up of Shannon standing in front of some wreckage appears. She brings her hand up to shade her eyes as she looks off to the left of the camera's position.
Narrator: ...some can be revealed...
The image fades to black, then fades in on a medium shot of Kate and Sawyer sitting by a fire. It is dark, and they appear to be in the jungle. Sawyer hands Kate a bottle.
Cut to a close up of Sawyer as he talks to Kate.
Sawyer: "I've never been in love."
Reverse to Kate as she closes her eyes and licks her lips, then opens her eyes and looks at Sawyer.
Kate: "I've never had a one-night stand."
Reverse back to Sawyer, as he closes his eyes, turns his head toward Kate, and slowly opens his eyes and smiles.
Cut back to Kate, looking at Sawyer with a slight smile on her face.
Narrator: Some can not
Cut to a daytime scene. This is a long shot, in the jungle. On the far left, we see Jack breaking tree limbs for wood. Sawyer comes up from the right, with both of his hands down to his left side.
Cut to a close up of Jack as he stands and talks to Sawyer.
Jack: "What'd she give you?"
Reverse to Sawyer, who stands and turns his head slightly away and puts a sly smile on his face.
Sawyer "Nothin' that she wasn't willin' to part with."
Reverse back to Jack as he shakes his head and rolls his eyes in a "can you believe this crap?" look.
Switch to a daylight close up of Kate in the woods, staring to her right.
Reverse to see Jack as he turns his head to look at Kate and give her a stern look.
Fade to black.
Narrator: ...and there are some secrets...
Fade in on a close up of Sawyer loading ammo into a pistol.
Kate (OS): "What are you doing?"
The camera pans up to Sawyer's face as he grits his teeth. (BTW, this scene is at Sawyer's tent on the beack during the daytime).
Sawyer: "Gettin' even."
Fade to black, and cut to an extreme close up of (presumably) Sawyer pulling out a pristol from the small of his back.
Narrator: that can get you killed.
Fade to black and cut to a shot of Jack standing in the woods as he turns towards the camera's right.
Fade to black and cut to a shot of an extreme close up of (presumably) Sawyer pointing the gun at the camera's position.
Fade to black and cut to a shot of Kate standing next to a tree in the woods in the left background, and Sawyer in the right extreme foreground. Kate glances at Sawyer as he stares intently to the left of the screen.
Fade to black, and cut to a close up of Sawyer staring VERY intently.
Fade to black and cut to an angle facing Jack, where we can see a black-shirted figure (presumably Sawyer) facing him.
Fade to black, and then cut to a much close shot of Sawyer staring intently.
Fade to black, then cue the Lost logo.
Narrator: An all-new Lost, next Wednesday at 8, 7 Central, only on ABC.
Bad Robot.

OMG, I have MISSED Mejias!
Thank you, Jeff
I missed Mejia.
I did too.
Was anyone else struck by the fact that Jack wanted to move people off the beach, but Locke said not to, which played a big part of Ethan being able to kill Scott?
Cereal:
How much did I love Sawyer giving Kate a gun and forcing Jack to let her go with them?
I don't think Charlie was wrong. (in the context of the show) Ethan would never give them anything useful. First because he was insane, but also because he doesn't seem the type to have been impressed by Sayid's torture attempts. Charlie had no motivation to be all rational. Revenge and protecting Clare needed to take priority.
I expected to be sympathetic to Charlie over the killing, given that the guy HUNG HIM IN A TREE, but... it felt like it was all about Charlie's ego. Certainly not protecting Claire, and not even very much revenge. I'm actually kind of sorry they immediately went woobie again, not because I'm against Charlie/Claire in the long run, but because I think there are some very unhealthy vibes there.

Absolutely. I wish I trusted the writing more on this show, because I love the idea of having a sweet, basically likeable guy who means well and whose essential sweetness makes it too easy for others to overlook how deeply fucked up the little guy really is. It's a different take on the bad guy with the (supposed) heart of gold. People theoretically know better than to trust the Spikes and Sawyers of the world, but I think the 'awww-isn't-he-cute!'ness of the Charlies can make them more dangerous in the long run.
