lost for another season
Warning: spoilers ahead, if you haven't seen the season finale...
Last chance...
Okay then. Redz has claimed the writers of LOST have it in for all hot chicks on the show, and I concur, but I had been lulled into a false sense of security about Juliet's character, since she's lasted several seasons now without incident. Well, I mean other than the usual incidents of getting gassed, handcuffed to various people and objects, punched in the face, dislodged in time until your brain starts to hemorrage, et cetera. Compared to getting your arm ripped off by the smoke monster or having a baby-faced mercenary shoot you to spite your father, a punch in the face is pretty mild.
And now? Will the fact that she detonated the thermonuclear device send everybody to Do Over Land in the Way Back Machine, so she isn't deaded? Or does she have to be the sacrificial lamb? It wouldn't be so bad if Kate weren't the only woman on the show who seems basically untouchable - easily the least interesting female character they've got. Harrumph.
Anyway. That's it for another season. I'll have the summer off to go sew Dharma Initiative patches on a set of slash-pocket coveralls for my Halloween costume...
Comments
Also, I'm in Miles' camp: I think the hydrogen bomb is what CAUSED all of this. D'oh! I don't fink they're going to do-over land, but hey, I could just as easily be wrong. I'm only right about 42% of the time with this show anyway.
And if it truly would have sent them to do-over land, I think the older, creepier Eloise Hawking would have shown up in her forbidding cardigan and worsted wool skirt to stop them at the last minute (shudder).
And how about that Jacob? We get nothing but a blurry shot or two of an eyeball for five seasons, and in one episode he's like the Harlem Globetrotters glad-handing the flight 815 survivors all over the place (across several decades).
