Fionnula Flannagan. I don't know what sorts of parts she usually plays but she was in Lost before playing the clerk in the jewelry shop where Desmond went to buy an engagement ring.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Good catch -- I knew we were supposed to notice the photo, the way the camera lingered, but I didn't connect the dots.
She's the one that appeared to Desmond to tell him about his psychic powers, right?

Compassionately intolerant
Exactly! Now I remember, they walked in that park just as the scaffolding went down. Right. Okay. So, she tells Desmond he has a destiny and Big!Brother leads Desmond to Penny. Hm.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
The last episode of Lost had it's first ratings climb in months - hurray! I'm also in the reading Buffistas then watching Lost club. I mostly then end up watching the episode and sniggering at things people have said the entire time, but still, it's 400% more enjoyable.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm, like, the only guy here who still generally likes it and finds crazy new developments interesting, aren't I?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
P-C, don't feel alone. I still like the show actually. I complain about it, but I still like it.
I don't know if I feel the crazy new developments are interesting. I'm coming from a cautious place.

Well, there's also the fact that all the recent interviews with Carlton and Cuse seem to point to the fact that they'll be Answering Questions and all that good business, and I think they've been making good on that promise for the last few episodes. It sounds like they've taken the fan frustration to heart.

Our wings are not tired.
It is one of the few shows I watch live. This is mostly because it is DH's pool playing night and GF and I drink and watch.
I find lots to complain about, but also plenty to enjoy. Once I relaxed and stopped looking for anything sense making it was all good. My complaining now is more general than nit picky. Like why do we have to go so long between seeing favorite characters?

I think it's budget related, myself. I've seen no evidence of that, but I reckon the way it's structured helps cuts cost.
In fairness, the last 5 or so episodes have -- in my opinion -- been a massive improvement. Near the beginning of season 3 I was saying to myself 'They can't sustain this. This is awful', but now I think they've clued into some of the problems and it's a bit more entertaining. It still irks me the way Lost seems to be an 'experience' rather than a show, though -- like if you read all the websites and do all the puzzles you get more out of it, which I don't have time to do.

What is even happening?

I still generally like it and find new developments interesting, but I'm not a guy. Or so I say. I just had to let go of some of my expectations for a coherent mythology.
