I wasn't around for most of yesterday, thus I bring you late polls!

As for the misogyny... I am not a feminist (pro-equality, pro-women's human and civil rights, etc., but NOT a feminist). I think 99% of the bitching that goes on about misogyny in popular culture is just that - whining and calling something misogyny when someone means "I disliked it." BUT. Even I can't ignore the misogyny on "Lost" anymore. ALL the women do is get shot in order to further the men's plotlines, with a token "Mah BAY-bee!" thrown in as if to attract female viewers or something. Kate is the token they throw in as if to prove otherwise - but my God, what can you do with Kate BUT despise her?
I won't reiterate my own posts here, but anyway... Fuck canon. The inmates are running the asylum now as far as I'm concerned.
I was really loving this season up until this point. I'm glad you're still sticking around fandom, though!
Sawyer, man of many games -- you're not kidding! I hadn't realized how many there were.
I love your polls.
And I think I forgot that Sawyer also played checkers with Locke - when he asked him to go easy on Kate, IIRC.
Thank you! I had a lovely day. :)
Glad you had a lovely time. :)
Caleb NicholCharles Widmore?And how was it so good the first half of the season and so shitty last night? Or the night before, or whatever.
And how many more chicks have to fucking die?
And I'm sorry to badmouth the show in your journal, I haven't read other peoples reactions so I don't know if you loved it or hated it. Just. Grrr. They best make up for it next week!
(also, I always called that game Risk, weird)
Hi! How goes it?
Fairly recently. I mean, of course there will be deviations from the initial plan, but my God, can't these people bring a single goddamn subplot or idea or storyline to fruition? What happened to the crash survivors? What happened to the island?
And how was it so good the first half of the season and so shitty last night? Or the night before
I think it's S3 in reverse.
And how many more chicks have to fucking die?
Every single female other than Kate will die. Every. Single. One.
And I'm sorry to badmouth the show in your journal, I haven't read other peoples reactions so I don't know if you loved it or hated it. Just. Grrr. They best make up for it next week!
They can't. (Insert long string of expletives here.)
Um. Anyway. Venting. Sorry. Kittens.
And no problem, vent away, hon.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. :-/ That is not what I signed onto Lost for at all. And yeah, I was really loving this season so far! The badassery of Desmond and Sayid was sooo good I almost didn't mind that we got little to no Sawyer. (And how sad is it that my J/S mojo is so much on hiatus that when Sawyer announced he was going back to the beach, it wasn't until MUCH later that I realized we might finally get another J/S scene!)
And oops, is that Risk? I never played it myself! Well, if there's a board game that was popular in the '70s, or, like, ever, you know The Others have it! I'm waiting for them to whip out the Connect Four or Battleship!
I tried to email you last night but it bounced back. I'll try again!
