Six weeks. Aaah -- I don't know what I'll do. Veronica Mars better not be that long....
Anyways, tonight's episode was just okay. There were some aspects of it that I loved, and others that I was just so 'bleh' about.
First off, let me just say that I'm so happy with what Kate did. I mean, I'm not happy, but, I am. (Oy, I'm off to a bad start.) Going into this whole thing, we knew Kate did something really bad, obviously. But we've already seen her crash a car, steal a car, sort of kill a guy, and rob a bank. So I had really low expectations for her big crime -- I mean, if she just killed someone, it's not something so dramatic like "We finally find out what Kate did in tonight's episode!" But lemme tell you, I was pleasantly surprised. She murdered her seemingly-fake-but-really-real dad by EXPLODING HIM (lol) and collecting the insurance money for her beaten-ex-Brady-Bunch mother. WOW! Totally exceeded my expectations.
But that was it. I was really expecting Kate to be really affected by her crime, and she was -- but the girl went CRAZY!! The whole Jack kiss thing, I'm totally confused with. Why'd she kiss him? She thought Sawyer was Wayne, not Jack. I really don't get it. And the horse -- well, that's just plain weird. But now I'm thinking, apparently everybody is seeing crazy things on the island in pairs. First Rose/Jack, then Sayid/Shannon (I miss ya, boo!), and now Sawyer/Kate? Odd.
I for sure thought Michael was gonna mess around with the computer so much that the blast doors were gonna shut just as they watched the strip in the Orientation video. Definitely. But that twist... oooh, what a shocker! But Michael's still my least favorite character. No plot twist can change that.
Shannon's funeral -- boring. I really wanted to see the reactions of more people, like when Boone died, or even ScottSteve. Claire wasn't even crying. CLAIRE. Something's wrong here. And it seemed like the number of the survivors is dwindling. That did NOT look like 40+ survivors, or even 30+ (though I doubt there were 20 people missing inside the hatch...). Anybody got a screen cap to count them?
When's Cindy coming back?
I have a new theory that the flashbacks are flashFORWARDS... okay, never mind.
And am I the only one who needs just a little more Hurley and Charlie action in my weekly Lost fix? Not that kind of action... I mean, the action as in their awesome humor. Hurley said something hilarious in this episode when he was talking to Jack, but I totally forgot what it was. EDIT: Hurley: "So, Rose's husband is white. Didn't see that one comin'."
