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

How can he sustain the mythology?

Dude. There is none.

I feel like I'm behind in my celebrity gossip.

Dude, I just found out JC was dating a Desperate Housewife. I bet you already knew that.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Kristen, they're engaged now. He proposed over the holidays.

Kat, he's SO pretty.

He needs to be in more things.

Of course I did! It's been the source of DOZENS of fandom kerfluffles in the past few months.

Plus I saw them in the parking lot at the Bean.

That place really is the source of 95% of my celebrity sightings.

He proposed over the holidays.

That's how I found out they were together. I didn't know until this morning.

Then why does everyone insist that the show is incredibly hard to follow? I was under the impression that JJ loves an arc as much as Joss does.

JJ loves the idea of an arc. He's completely unprepared to deal with the consequences of having an arc. You've got to walk it and feed it and clean up after it...

Maybe someone could send him to one of those UCLA workshops.

So one watches for the pretty, and the wigs? A coherent story is a bonus?

Okay, ita, SIP spoiler:

David and Katchoo got married in Vegas in this issue. They were drunk and got married. No Way.

Henh. intersting. the screencaps I'd seen of Rick Yune I thought he was fighting Syd and not Nadie. that was unexpected.

AH! There it is... the fight with him. But that wasn't the one I had seen screencapped.

Maria, everything is twisty and ever changing and nothing stable. So it does get confusing. Unless you think pretty things go boom.

Because it makes no sense. It rushes along, with style and momentum and explosions and the odd lust object here or there, but if you tried to map it, you'd drive Moebius mad.

Okay, I have an issue -- why do they one shot people like Djimoun Hounsou and Rick Yune? It makes no sense. I don't care what the practicality of the situations are. They need to fix that. For me.

Dear JJ:

Please stop killing off all the pretty men. It makes ita sad. Also, if you can make Weiss/Vaughn canon (or Sark/Vaughn/Weiss), we'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Love,
Kat

And this is why the people who are so into Lost who think things map to other things, who are willing to obsess over detail upon detail are most likely in for a sad sad suprise.
