Chapter 4: Blooms and the City of Burned Clutches

Lost

Dude, would Jack and Kate just kiss already? The soulful glances are killing me. Also, the writers are obviously obsessed with Evangeline Lilly, because the sexual tension triangle is turning into a rectangle, only all lines are pointing at one person. Which would make it not a rectangle at all. Gah.

Anyone have any guesses as to who bonked my poor boyfriend Sayid on the head? I'm having a hard time thinking of which of them weren't obviously somewhere else. crimsonkitty suggested Locke, which makes sense, especially since I think he's completely loving being stuck on the island. Or, you know, it could have been Claire, because god knows we haven't seen her in ages.

And what's up with that? That's two episodes she's been nowhere to be found, and considering the pace of the show, and when she's supposedly due, they can't be dropping the character, since her babe is obviously destined to be born just in time for the season finale cliffhanger.

Dude, I love this show.

Gilmore Girls

This show, by contrast, is kind of boring me these days. I don't know, it just hasn't grabbed me this season, although the Luke and Lorelai story is making me happy. I could definitely do with less Tristan 2.0. Hasn't Rory learned her lesson yet?

ANTM

Ha! I loved that the judges basically validated vestra's comments about Nicole - there is absolutely nothing about her that stands out, good or bad. I think she really could win. I still love Yaya, even though she's developing some serious attitude, and I'm enjoying Norelle, too, although, dude, she is terrible on the runway.

My bound-to-be-wrong prediction of the order in which the next people will get knocked off: Toccara, Ann, Yaya, Norelle, Eva, Amanda, Nicole. And the order in which I would like them to get knocked off? Amanda, Ann, Amanda, Ann, Amanda. The others can all stay. :D

Oh, hey, did anything important happen on the last episode of Desperate Housewives? I was defeated by a combination of Paul Gross as Prime Minister, spontaneous dinner outing and lack of TV Guide, and I missed it.

Now, see, I love Logan (aka Tristan 2.0). Tristan was okay, but had no charisma. Logan has it in spades.

I think the person who was already on the island bonked Sayid. Said person has quite a wait ahead if person desires to boink Sayid, though.

Bwa! I hope somebody's taking reservations. ;)

DH, last episode. A lot happened.

Plumber guy tried to break into someone's house. Left behind a screwdriver. Susan finds it, gives it to a cop at a neighborhood watch meeting. He promises to submit it for fingerprints. Plumber guy (Mike?) freaks. Has a meeting with his contact/handler, who tells him to stay put. Cop lied to Susan, twice, he was just trying to get a date with her. Mike picks her up from the bad date, syays Phew! when he finds out screwdriver was not dingerprinted, kisses Susan.

Other stuff happened too: mother-in-law visit, crazy twins get into private school, narrator's son bonds with MArtha Stewart-wannabe, thenbreaks into her house and decorates it for Christmas. Wacky.

[...]breaks into her house and decorates it for Christmas.

Now *that's* scary.

I like that they're actually managing to give us the Mike-as-potential-superspy story slowly, so that we have a chance to actually get interested, rather than having it show up suddenly one episode in an attempt to shock us all.

Mike's secrets may be the one reason I keep watching. The show feels anachronistic in a lot of ways -- more 1960s than 1990s/2000s.

Apologies for my bad typing, above.

I love Desperate Housewives with a probably unholy passion. Best soap opera like show ever.

[listersgirl]

Yeah, it's totally camp and so much fun.

I think some of the everyone wants Evangeline Lilly crap might have to do with the lack of other Females that actually have Character. I mean, Shannon's a tool and they seem to be working this Michael/Sun thing so we can't have anyone else after her. And speaking of other island chickies:

..it could have been Claire, because god knows we haven't seen her in ages. And what's up with that?

IMDB lists Claire as a 6-episode guest star, which is the likely reason she hasn't been around much. So she's in a couple establishing eps and she doesn't show up at all unless she's involved in the plot. Same with Rose, the lady who was next to Jack on the plane who we haven't seen in ages either. Though I think they say she's 3 episodes.

[listersgirl]

Oh, ok, that makes sense - I was confused, because she's on the ABC website cast of characters along with everyone else, and I thought at one point she'd been in the credits, but I might have been making that up.

That's kind of good, though - I think we need to have more of the 33 people on the island. I like what they did with Rose - we know her name, and a little about her, so we can just see her occasionally and not be confused by random new person showing up.

[offscreen.livejournal.com]

I think she has been in the credits, it isn't just you. I suspect she'll be bumped up to series regular if only because they need more girls. Because Shannon is the tooliest of tools.

The "Hey Scott!" "I'm Steve!" "I'm Scott!" moment felt like a total shoutout to our bitching about wanting more moments with the NPCs.

I like Locke for the whomping on the head -- the person seemed to come in at quite a bounding pace, not really something I see Claire managing or Sawyer bothering with. Plus, Sawyer's too obvious.

[listersgirl]

Oh, totally! Maybe the food court is bugged.

Also, I don't think it could be Sawyer anyway (besides the fact that yes, way too obvious), because we saw the other rocket go off, and there wasn't anyone else there with him. Unless someone else followed them into the jungle, but that's just getting needlessly complicated.
