'Time Bomb'
[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.
Being persecuted by a wild boar. Island justice, baby.
Except -- they stared off. I thought it was animal totem absolution.
Or whatever. It feels to me like the writers are assiduously asserting that it's okay to like him, he's just damaged a bit.
Me? I don't care. Hot either way. Preferred Spike in S2, and all that. But they're erasing the big jagged edges of his persona.
But daddy boars don't care about baby boars.
This man knows NOTHING about porcine social systems. IJS.
Does being woobified mean he's no longer a jackhole, or just that there's now a much larger fanfic contingent that won't treat him that way? 'Cause I have no real desire to wrap him in a woobie blanket and feed him soup, traumatic childhood or no. Unless "woobie blanket" and "soup" are euphemisms for "hot monkey sex," in which case I'm all for it.

Oh, I thought you were saying that Sawyer wasn't making sense.
As you were.
I thought it was animal totem absolution.
I concur. He retained some entirely gratuitous assholishness with Jack at the end, though, which gives me hope. I don't even find him that hot, but I like him much better when he's being all amoral self-interested guy than anything else.

No, you're right. It's done. I love persucution by boar and wanted to write it down.

Yeah, I can see that that might be the aim, but I'm ignoring their attempts, and I wish they would stop. At least they've left a lot of good material for me to work with. I'm not particularly invested, but I'll keep my eye on the bad bits just like those who would woobify him will focus on what makes him sympathetic. Back offa the jagged edges, people.
I liked his work inthis ep. On the first visit as he watches Not!Sawyer cook shrimp, his face changes from anger to resolve to not being able to do it to furious sadness. Good stuff.
He gave very good face.

Jess is me. I am Jess. I will not eat green eggs and boar.
What didn't make any sense to me is that if there's a baby boar, there is almost certainly a mommy boar nearby, and when she comes by she is going to be PISSED.
They probably killed the mother earlier, is my guess.

Definitely. There was a bit in the last scene, when he was deciding whether to tell Jack about Jack's dad or not, where he did something with just his eyes (without narrowing them or squinting)that I can't quite figure out what he did, but you could see him make his decision. Good stuff.
