I knew that Jin was alive and it’s not because I was spoiled for it…which I was not. It’s because Jin couldn’t be dead; “his arch wasn’t finished”. You know how the writers always trot out the line “we just couldn’t write for them anymore” regarding such and such character? Well maybe it’s the soap watcher in me, but I knew that Jin and Sun had to be dramatically separated so they could find their way back to each other. It’s kind of like Days of Our Lives with Jin and Sun as Bo and Hope, Ben as Stefano Dimera and Charles Widmore as Victor Kiriakis.
Luckily for Jin, a group of hot Frenchmen and a soon-to-be crazy pregnant woman saw his lifeless body, laying Jack Dawson-style, adrift in the Ocean. Unfortunately for Jin, he thinks this is 2004 so he’s probably frightened and only wants Freedom Fries. I was thinking last night that being on this island must be like starring in a never-ending loop of the last scene of Planet of the Apes. Everything is shocking! And seemingly hopeless.
Meanwhile, it’s Nosebleed City for all the other island dwellers. Daniel’s being somewhat forthcoming about the cause of all this, but I wish he would have just quoted Ralph Wiggum and told everyone “the doctor said I wouldn’t have so many nosebleeds if I kept my finger outta there”. People, I honestly believe that most wisdom in life can be gleamed from Ralph. Seriously, does your kitty’s breath smell like cat food?
Back in Los Angeles, Sun is playing Kate for the fool and I love it. My friend Kristina doesn’t understand my Kate Hate, but I feel like she’s drinking a big glass of Katerade. Sure, Kate may have pretty hair that looks great straight or wavy, but she’s a big mess that reaches for her backpack when the going gets rough. For God’s sake, she’s sweating Angela Chase’s dad. Get a grip, Freckles.
Jack, on the other hand, shaves his beard and goes off pills for one day and his hero complex is reborn. “Sayid, I’ll smuggle you into an examining room at a clinic I have no business being in”, “Kate, I’ll talk to my dad’s mistress and explain why you’re raising her dead daughter’s child”, “Ben, I’ll get the band back together again”. Enough. Just change your name to Jason Morgan and call it a day.
Hee, well I didn’t equate it with Days but I fully expected Jin to be alive too. But I was surprised that it was his body floating in the ocean like that. Awesome having Rousseau and crew find him. I’ve always wanted to see more of her life and I was annoyed that they killed her off last year. Of course, Lost deaths are like Days deaths.
I don’t Kate hate, tho I don’t get all her angst. If I were her, I would have said, Jack, you get Monday, Wed and Fri; Sawyer, Tues, Thurs & Sat. Sunday shall be a day of rest as God intended. Enjoy your stay on Lost Island. How hard is it?
Backpack! Backpack!
Just co-op the Dora theme, and it becomes Kate The Annoyer.
P.S. Why does Aaron seem off and oblivious? It’s like: Kate, Sun, Claire–as long as I babble and one of you acts only slightly maternal, then I’m good. That kid is a knob. He deserves to be kidnapped and used as collateral.
And yes, I enjoy–Kater Days brand Hater Tots. For that always triflin’ taste.
She looks hot when she’s off the island and back in L.A., though.
Must be all the Animal Style burgers at In-N-Out….
Nole-Yes, Kate could be like Bill on Big Love with the mulitple lovers.
Hwhhy-Yes, I too am worried that Kate’s hair will go back to that curly mess. Same with Sayid.
