Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

For those of us who are me and didn't get audio, could someone recap the voiceover?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The voiceover started with (I think) Jack, saying "We all have a secret," and then the different characters say "One of us is..." and a different description given, including hero, fraud, junkie, cop, saint, sinner, martyr and murderer. And then it ends with a voiceover saying "All of us are guilty....all of us are lost."

"One of us is..." and a different description given, including hero, fraud, junkie, cop, saint, sinner, martyr and murderer.

"...a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess and a criminal..."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who's the saint? Who's not the sinner? Who's the martyr?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Who's the saint? Who's not the sinner? Who's the martyr?

Jack, Sawyer (most Sinnerish - at least by trailer standards), Boone.

The idea that Jack is a saint is one of the most wretched possible interpretations of the show. I'd much rather Sun as a saint, thanks, or Rose. Jack's a whiny pillock.

Maybe I was just fooling myself into thinking the writers didn't think him saintly, but it sure made the episodes more palatable.

I didn't ask who was the sinner -- I asked who wasn't. They've gone so far redeeming everyone, it all blurs.

Did Boone sacrifice himself? Or did he have an accident and then die? Like Artz?

Up with the sun

Also, in the voiceover ad -- there's a reference to one of them being a cop? Am I forgetting something? Who dat?

I think it might be a "sincerely yours, the breakfast club" voiceover -- they're all sinner and saint, cop and murderer, etc.

I think the Portishead version is my favorite.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

That is so weird. The dancing bits? odd.

Though Sun dancing? hot.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Beautiful video, especially Sun dancing.

Kate looks kinda weird.

Desperately HOT look between Jack and Sawyer, though I preferred the version where Kate did not appear between them. Understanding the symbolism, not caring.

You're right - it could be Sun, come to think of it.
