Lost.

[brinshannara]

I was at my parents' last night for dinner, and only got home around 8:40ish. I looked at my TV and thought "Should I turn it on and see the last 20 minutes of Lost? Would I ruin the entire episode for myself if I did that?" I shrugged, said no, turned it on...

... and saw Jack pounding on Charlie's chest.

And all of a sudden, I'm like "NO! They can't kill Charlie! Nononono!" and then I'm all "I should turn this shit off NOW. I can't watch Charlie die without knowing how or why or anything!"

So I turned off the TV right when Kate pulls Jack away from Charlie.

And I spent the next three hours d/ling the ep and going "Oh my God, Charlie's dead."

By the time I finished downloading, I was so exhausted that I FELL ASLEEP while watching it, around 1:15. I saw up until when Walt threw the 3 and the 4 in the backgammon game, and didn't remember anything after it. I woke up on the couch at 4:30 in the morning and dragged my sorry ass to bed.

I woke up at 10:30 this morning and thought "Ooh, I get to watch the rest of Lost! ... but Charlie's DEAD!"

Anyone who watched that show must have been at least a little surprised when Charlie actually WOKE UP, but I assure you, I was about a hundred times more shocked. I shouted at my laptop screen "WHAT?! OH MY GOD!!!!" loud enough that I think my neighbours heard me.

The moral of this story: Never turn Lost on midway through the episode, because you never know how JJ Abrams is going to TORTURE YOU.

Also, random bits/comments:

- Loved how Walt keeps getting what he wishes for. A 3/4 roll and then double sixes. But it seems that he's been lucky like that all his life. Hm, hm. Nice little look into Walt's life.
- Boone amused me.
- Locke... is creeping me out. Following his gut? And what the hell did he and Boone FIND?!
- I kind of love Ethan for beating Jack down. Am I evil for that?
- Are Sun and Jin even still alive? ;)
- I love that Jack wasn't prepared to "do the right thing" and report his father until he found out the woman had been pregnant. Very nice touch.
- Sayid/Sawyer... if they don't wind up killing each other, I'm sure they'll end up fucking.
- Claire! I worry for Claire.
- Charlie being alive. Wow. Wow. Wow. I am not a Dominic Monaghan fangirl, I'm really not, but... Charlie! I'm so glad he's alive.

Thus ends the rambling.

OhmiGOD, I was so cursing at the screen after they cut Charlie down: "He'd better not be dead!! He'd better not BE FUCKING DEAD!!!"

I had a moment there where I was convinced that Locke was taking Boone into Ethan/Alex's lair. Claire's dream where Locke had one black eye and one white eye...

And yes, you are evil for wanting Ethan to beat Jack down. :D
