Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
The most egregious use I can think of was in goddamn Watchmen. I actually started laughing loudly enough to annoy the people around me in the movie theater.
That was so OTT that I would say it was a deliberate parody, except nothing else in the movie indicated anyone involved with making it had the self-awareness to make that kind of joke.
When Hurley asked Ben to help him with the whole protect-the-glowy-cave mission, and Ben accepted, The Boy said, "And now Hurley's going to whip a Hot Pocket at Ben's head!"
Don't ask me why I just recalled that.
Also, when Lapidas was getting ready to take off and saw Sawyer, Claire, and Kate, I was unreasonably happy that he got to say "What the HELL?!?" one more time.
I think that was the basis of casting him: ability to say "What the HELL?!?" repeatedly, without it ever getting old.
What also never got old -- Sawyer said "Sonofabitch!" at least three times last night.
The only thing I'm irritated I didn't see is Claire reuniting with Aaron. I would have loved that, but oh well.
Right.
Naturally, I want to see the lives that Claire, Kate, Sawyer and Richard made for themselves post-Island.
And just what the reign of Hurley was like.
I loved Miles "I don't believe in a lot of things, but I DO believe in Duck Tape!"
I deleted the episode when I should have gone back to rewatch the last few scenes - were Miles, Frank, Daniel, etc. in the Church of the Departed at the end? I don't remember seeing any of them.
And the tailies - was Libby there? I figured Ekko wouldn't be there for meta-reasons, but I'm pretty sure Anna Lucia wasn't, either, and she had made a (great) reappearence.
I did feel bad that Michael and Walt were noticeably absent from the original gang.
Oh, and Richard wasn't there either, was he?
Miles, Frank, Daniel, Charlotte, Richard, and Ana-Lucia weren't in the church.
Libby was with Hurley.
We just watched it, after waiting about twelve hours for it to download.
We feel cheated. And lied to. And crapped on. And we're people who are willing to take a lot from our TV.
Conclusion: it would have been a great series were it not for the fact that the flash-sideways was one long con.
"It was all a dream"? REALLY?
I shall take some hours to recover and then start on the rewatch in the hope that something ends up making some sense. Somewhere in the series. Sometime.
