fandom: Lost talk

[escritoireazul]

New Lost tonight. It was ... eh. There were wonderful scenes, but I really didn't want more Charlie backstory. Really the only time I like Charlie is when he's with baby-mama Claire.



I loved the guns, though. Still love Locke and his cool gunwork and his guns are the last resort and his desire to take Ethan alive. I really thought someone was going to shoot themselves in the ass, the way they kept shoving their guns down their pants.

I know why Charlie shot Ethan, but unlike most of the people I've talked to about it, I didn't find it sweet. He was a little crazy with that need to take care of someone and really, they should have been able to at least try to get some information out of their only current link. Still, I saw it coming.

I really need screencaps from Lost, especially tonight's episode. Does anyone have any links?

I've heard we may get some Hurley backstory sometime in the next few weeks, and I will be so hapy. Locke is my favorite, but Hurley is a close second and I can't wait to learn more about him.

I have candles burning all over the room, because I don't want to pack them. It's nice, watching them flicker, but I am going to miss my candles. I've had these two candles that look like ornaments for years and they are burning into neat purple wax melts. It's very pretty.

The packing is coming along well. Still no word from the law schools, but I'll continue to be patient and spend my time writing and drabbling. I want to finish draft two of the novel this week, but we'll see.

Nick at Night (I think?) has these commercials for Black History Month using spoken word performers and it's actually very neat. I miss poetry and performing. I miss the power of verbal communication and reading in front of an audience. The energy is incredible, the give and take, and the noise when you make a point people can understand. I miss the power and the joy of writing and reading about topics that most people shy away from. I miss making a splash, being a giant wave on a small beach.

*snicker*

Also, I didn't think it was sweet, either. Because a) he was kind of creepy in that Slightly Unhinged sort of way, which I suspect is a direct result of b) shooting the guy had nothing to do with Claire, and everything to do with proving something to himself because of something chick in his past said. Plus, I think there's something very Wrong with 'awww, he killed someone for her!' even if it was true.

In some ways, I can see the "he killed someone to protect her", though I don't think it's nearly as sweet as everyone wants to make it. I mean, protection can be sweet, but it's not that sweet and fluffy.

And I do agree that it really had very little to do with Claire. Charlie might tell himself that he was trying to protect her and he might even believe that a little, but it was mostly to prove to himself that he could do things right, that he could make decisions for himself. It was very selfish of him to take away everyone else's options.
