I'd like to see him sitting in a chair, getting his beard shaved and his laundry washed and some other girl cooking his dinner.
The moment they turn one of the characters into (or add a new character to be) Sawyer's personal mama-san, I'm so done with this show. It's already rather imbalanced in terms of female characters -- only four of them, and none of them really breaking that far from cliche. It's why I was so disappointed when Claire's brief moment of independence in Homecoming vanished under Charlie's psuedomacho outburst of bullets and she's back to "Charlie! You're so dreamy!"
This doesn't mean a female character has to be ubermacho -- I actually enjoy the way that Sun manages to be quietly independent while not being so far from tradition. She didn't go ask anyone whether she should start a garden, she didn't go ask Jack or Sayid or anyone for aprobation, she just judged the situation and started planting. Yes, a traditional female role but I think the independence is in the thought, not the action.
Leaving the other stuff aside, is it wrong that I think it might be kind of hot to see Kate or Sun (or better yet, Sayid), shaving Sawyer?
I'll tell you how that would work: every female viewer with an ounce of self-respect turning on the character.
yeah, ummm...except when i read that i was liking Josh's train of thought. i'd like to see Kate get a taste of her own manipulation skills.
Wait a second, Bank Robber is too close to cliche? Girl who lived with a guy and got pregnant and had to be talked into staying pregnant then went to scary psychic is too close to a cliche? Shannon is the most clicheed character, IMO, and the least interesting, but I don't find the other three close to cliches, unless you define clicheed women's roles incredibly broadly, like "unmarried and pregnant".
Is it a straight razor?
Yes. And thank god for the... old-fashioned barber shop supplies smugglers.
That joke will never die.
(Sorry. I often can't help myself.)
If it's a straight razor, it almost doesn't matter who's wielding it -- those things are hawt.
Still, I have my preferences, and Sayid is definitely one.
Who can resist, though? It's the perfect explanation. I'm actually amused to read all the different situations in which the [insert object name] smugglers get themselves into.
