I always liked Josh Holloway’s work as Sawyer. I have watched interviews with Holloway and is voice is in a higher pitch and body mannerisms are different. He has done a good job of becoming the character. I don’t think Sawyer was intended to become a heroic character. It’s the Lost writers make the leaders Jack, Locke and Ana-Lucia unintentionally irritating. Holloway became popular so Sawyer became a hero.

The producers sorta admit they make the characters do irration things.

The writing for Locke in “Through the Looking Glass” was criticized, and one IGN writer said that “it seems irrational that he would go and [stab Naomi] in the back without explaining himself.”[36] Lindelof stated “that we might be willing to give [Locke] the benefit of the doubt for any action he took in response to [lying, gutshot, in a pit of Dharma corpses for two days and on the verge of taking his own life], even if considered slightly ‘out of character’.”[37]

Damon Lindelof is full of shit. I like to hear him explain why Jack and Sayid thought the best way to rescue Walt was to set themselves up to be ambushed. To me, that is the biggest mystery of the show. The Walt rescue makes no sense and destroyed the credibility of their hero. Fans turned on Jack after the Walt rescue attempt.

I didn’t like Juliet at first, but I really liked her this season. I liked her and Sawyer together (and I was NEVER a Sawyer fan–angsty bad-boys irritate the everloving fuck out of me, though Josh Holloway is very easy on the eyes). The whole “WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING BLONDIE” moment at the Swan had me all teary eyed.

I love the fact, though, that despite the weirdness over Sawyer, Juliet and Kate had each other’s backs. Juliet may have felt insecure about Kate, and Kate may have been weirded out, but they had no problem teaming up and getting shit done when it needed to get done (saving Ben, stopping Jack/then going along with him, etc.). And it was Kate who first grabbed Juliet when she got sucked into the hole.

I see another sitcom spinoff–with the two couples living next door to each other and Kate and Juliet getting into all kinds of trouble.

Also Sawyer beating Jack up was long overdue. I haven’t liked Jack since season 3 but at this point I hate him so much I feel like going all the way to Hawaii just to bitchslap Matthew Fox.

BWAHAHAHAHA. Okay I just about fell out of my chair laughing.

OTOH I loved the whole Esau/Jacob storyline and seeing the flashbacks. Also Sawyer beating Jack up was long overdue. I haven’t liked Jack since season 3 but at this point I hate him so much I feel like going all the way to Hawaii just to bitchslap Matthew Fox. And after Kate not being his doormat this season, she managed an impressive last minute turnaround. There wasn’t any grovelling and only a little bit of crying, but give it time. I quite enjoyed his hospital flashback because it showed that Jack was a whiny douchebag even before anything bad happened to him. I’d always suspected.

Oh, and am I the only one who automatically labelled Jacob as evil purely because he was played by Darla’s abusive husband on Dexter?

I shared this with Cara. No one likes the Kate character. She is poorly written. JJ Abrams made it no secret he cast Evangeline Lilly to make the next Jennifer Garner. The problem is Lilly literally had no acting experience. I think Lilly was just grateful for the job and never had the nerve to walk into the writers’ room and say “This is shit.” I given up on Kate making sense. Abrams wanted a Maxim girl. He wasn’t interested in an actress.

I feel sorry for Terry O’Quinn. His work has been fantastic. His acting in the episode “The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham” was most made it the best Lost episode. (Lilly’s scene with O’Quinn was her best.) O’Quinn is now playing the smoke monster. That seems lame to me. I do hope O’Quinn receives an Emmy for the Bentham. Locke isn’t a liable character. O’Quinn made me feel the pain of his death and we knew Locke was going to die.

I mentioned in passing, on another blog, Battlestar Galactica and The Wire had being character development and acting than Lost. Those shows were on during most of Lost’s time and had complicated plots. I was told the acting on BSG and TW was subpar compared to Lost. I about shit myself. Those shows certainly had better female characters with Snoop, Kima, Starbuck and Roslin. And people stayed away from TW and BSG. Sigh.

Jacob seemed like a disappointment. A supernatural being is killed by Ben? WTF? The Smoke Monster knew everything about the island but couldn’t find Jacob. Even though they sit and have conversations together by the statue. I will be happy when the Island is finally destroyed.

I think the producers acknowledged how much the fans hate Jack. Why else would Sawyer beat him up?

Is it me or are the Losties acting more and more like the Scooby Doo Gang. Substitute Dharma Initiative van for the Mystery Machine. The dog Vincent was in the episode. Don’t be surprised if Jacob and the Smoke Monster are revealed as two gold prospectors trying to scare people off the island.

Jacob: We would of had the deed to the land…

Smoke Monster: If theses meddling plane crash survivors didn’t come back.

And yeah, Jacob lived BELOW the statue, not in its shadow. My guess is the cabin is in the shadow, but from the cloth picture: http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/File:BramHoldingStatue.png it looks like the shadow actually stretches across the water, maybe to mini-island.

The fish Jacob was eating looked an awful lot like a Red Herring, also. Visual pun/indicator?

Plus, b&W shirts is just like, too, too obvious for LOST. I hope.
