"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I just saw Sawyer in an old ep of CSI. I was typing, heard the voice, looked up, and said: "WTF? Wow."

The ep is: "Assume Nothing."

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

When we were on vacation in Glasgow, the path we took to the light rail went past a promo poster for Lost. Basically a shot of all the characters (except Sun and Jin, oddly enough) dressed and made up like in the Channel 4 promo.

Ooh. DDK is in "The Cave." I'm so going to see it now.

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

From IMDB:

Lost star Ian Somerhalder is furious he was slammed as homophobic when he decided his famous gay kiss in The Rules Of Attraction would be his last. The 26-year-old hunk nearly lost a lot of friends as a result of the public reaction to his remark, although he insists his words had been spectacularly misconstrued. He says, "It's not me who can't handle it, it's the audience. Seann William Scott didn't get all of the backlash that I received when he did just the same in American Pie 2. It was completely unjustified - fans and outraged men saying that I was making anti-gay remarks. I wasn't and those very close to me who are gay were visibly upset. I'd never make a disrespectful remark about anyone, especially in public, about one's sexual preference."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Note to Ian Somerhalder's hypothetical gay friends: Listen to his commentary track on the Rules of Attraction CD to hear his take on kissing men in his own words. You may want to save time by having effigies and lighter fluid at the ready.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

what does he say, Matt?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Amid 90 minutes of ungrateful whining about nearly everything he was asked to do in the process of filming his role, he gripes about having to kiss a fellow actor using phrases like "there is something inherently wrong." A few quotes from the DVD commentary can be found in Kate P.'s post here, and I think I originally started the discussion here.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Makes me wonder if Ian really did complain about not getting enough lines in "Lost."

He complained about Maggie Grace not getting sufficiently moving mourning scenes after his character's passing. He complained about finding out his character was getting the axe while on vacation. He probably complained in some interview about not getting as many viewers as Desperate Housewives...

Art Crawl!!!

So really, the reason his character was killed off is that HE (Ian) has such an unpleasant personality.
