And word on getting sick of Vigilante Island: Ever notice it's only Sawyer who suffers the wrath of the whole tribe? Kate and Locke get mildly shunned, Ana gets a nice juicy fish, Michael got off scott-free (by a fluke), Charlie just got a beatdown but Sawyer gets tortured and now possibly banished. Blech. Can we just let go of the "Sawyer is a jerk" arc already?
Yes, Desmond was hot, but why he was he so quick to suspect Sawyer? That so doesn't count as a heated discussion - Sawyer didn't even get up. He barely even looked at Nikki. Bleah.
I am VERY curious too, will come back to sneak!
But yes, hurrah for slashing Boone with Jack and Sawyer. Yayz!
Apart from that, though, the episode was pretty darn pointless. I have to admit, though, the beginning was pretty funny. ;)
...Right?
...Right?
Aw, poor Sawyer.
And I am pissed off at Lost writers like never before,because instead of fixing their mistakes,they just kill them off and what the fuck was the point of Nikki and Paolo?To show us that there were real heartless murderers on a plane?WHATEVER.
*shakes head*
I actually liked a few things in this episode (Shannon referring to Kate and "her 2 boyfriends", Boone, the slap -though I agree that Charlie deserves one too-, Sawyer shirtless and giving Sun the diamonds...), the whole situation was less tense that the last episodes and so it was a sort of comedy relief (even if I loved those past eps)- a dark and self-referential comedy.
But what I loved most was that after the first 5 minutes of the episode they were both already dead! But in the end I think they weren't... *sigh*
I'm glad they seemed dead so early on, that was kind of funny. I still wonder why they brought them in at all. Say it with me: No new characters!
No new characters!
There. I feel better already :)
And thanks, now I can stop rambling about the fact that they are alive and will come out zombie-like with Vincent's help.
This makes it much darker than I initially thought - I like it more.
