Lost Madness?
Right now it's Sawyer vs. Sayid! What's a fangirl to do? (Sayid is winning right now-- the man is made of pwnsauce this season. While I love Sawyer, domesticated!Sawyer is not my favorite version of the man. And yeah, Sawyer beat Kate and Sayid beat Jack in the last round.)
Looks it'll come down to Sayid vs. Charlie and Desmond vs. Ben. And then... possibly Sayid vs. either Desmond or Ben? Going up against his new boyfriend or his boss? Or will it be the battle of the Brits?
I don't know if I'm going to participate in the LJ strike this Friday -- the timing sucks. It's the day after the Lost midseason finale!!

I, too, am undecided about the strike. I think it's not likely to be effectual. On the other hand, I don't want to undermine the efforts of those who feel more strongly than I do.
Yeah, not sure about how effective the strike will be.
I don't know that Sawyer will play much of a part this week. It didn't look that way from the promo. I guess we should just be grateful that the strike ended and there's 5 more eps to go. If all we'd gotten of Sawyer this season was what we've had so far that would have been really sad.
And yeah, a really pitiful season so far, Sawyer-wise! It's a good thing I'm not only watching for him or I'd have been really upset.
Uuhm. If it becomes Sayid vs Ben I'll sure hope Sayid pwns him (and I'll gladly vote for him), if it comes to Sayid vs Desmond I'll just abstain, they'll give each other a consolation prize however it ends up ;)
I think I'd have done it, but I'll probably be out of town for Easter stuff and so I don't think I'll have the time to post anyway even if I manage to watch Lost before I go. But the timing sucks, indeed, though the intentions are definitely good.
But Sawyer is S4 is a rather sad affair. :-/
Sayid vs. Desmond is another dilemma! Sayid vs. Ben, no contest!
On the Sayid vs Sawyer front, I find myself ambivolent as well. How can one choose between two smokin' hot guys?! Honestly, I like how sweet Sawyer's been lately... although I totally miss the bad-ass snark-aholic he used to be. Couldn't they find a way to balance the two attributes? Sayid has much more of an interesting story right now, but that's because he's in the middle of all the action. I hope Sawyer shoves dinner up Ben's nose or something. :/
You don't see it. You have what they called a basic account which means you don't have a lot of bells and whistles but you also don't get the ads. They're eliminating the basic account option (don't know if this will change for current users or only new ones), which means that the only way to avoid the ads will be to have a paid account. The ads can be annoying but are livable (there are ads at both Insane Journal and Greatest Journal), but the real problem is that LJ seems determined to target fanfiction as being BAD. They had removed a bunch of "interests" though they are back now. More info here. The two things are tied together because the new owners want to make the entirety of LJ users more attractive to advertisers.
So... they think that people who write fanfic are not responsive to ads while others are? *scratches head* I mean, I see that the advertizers are concerned about advertising effectively, but... so what if people list their interests as "bondage"? People who like bondage-- and gay porn-- need to eat too! I don't get why they can't just say, "Okay, the weird people will be interested in the basic necesities of life... y'know tp and stuff, and the people who profess to be interested in business is where we'll stick the broker advertisements." Makes sense to me...
I'm glad you told me that they're getting rid of the Basic account-- that sucks. I mean, if they're hell-bent on making money, I don't see how people not using their journals for a day is going to deter anybody, but I've always marveled at how LJ is making any money in the first place. I wouldn't think very many people have paid accounts. And it's not like people who *do* have paid accounts will be able to access communities that they've "gotten rid of" because they won't exist and *that* bugs me.
Thanks again for the info... and sorry to Halfdutch for dragging this out in her LJ. *bows apologetically*
Sawyer vs Hurley? Jack vs Sayid? Why?? The Oceanic 815 survivors had it much harder than the other ones (Because, come on, Bonnie, Abbadon and the smoke monster are simply not as formidable as opponents!)
re: the Lost strike... I read the post you linked, but being a bit out of loop, I don't know what the problem is, this time. Recent changes, ok, but which ones in particular? I'm not one to get involved in these things, usually. Plus, missing the chance to comment on the last episode of Lost before the hiatus? Not really likely...
I'll probably be right here Friday, chatting about Lost!
(Hey, I'm finally friending you back!)
And fwiw, I voted for Sawyer. A few times! :)
Sawyer has gotten more than the shaft. He's Claire 2.0 and that makes me see red. >:/ I would trade a 1,000 boxer scenes for just one juicy dramatic moment.
You can kiss Sawyer goodbye in the poll. They fanboys just love thighs of steal. Whatever.
I did make this, though, to help suppress my anger.
And yeah, Sayid is pwning because he has a fantastic storyline and is kicking ass every week. Sawyer's playing house and Jack's just talking on the walkie. I enjoy Ben as a villain but NO WAY does he win. Not over Sayid or over Desmond, I don't see it!
I'm not participating in the strike. I'm doing my own alternative, Let's Fight The Man thing, which will be posting "DEAR SUP: I'M HERE FOR THE PORN (and all those fun things you want to get rid of) !!!!" in all caps, in the biggest font possible. I know it'll be just as ineffective (possibly, sadly) as the strike and at least I'll get to speak my mind.
And woo, save the porn!
