There's My Favourite Leaf.
For a show set on an island without any vehicles, I feel Lost features a surprising number of car accidents. We're up to, what, six?
I'm up to episode 2.11, 'The Hunting Party'!
'Collision': I'm cracking up at Jack's discomfort over how intimate Kate is being with Sawyer when they're all in close quarters and trying to save Sawyer's life. Just accept that you're going to end up in a threesome, Jack.
I really like Ana Lucia and Sayid starting to talk to each other while she's holding him captive, having killed someone he loves. Always a fan of characters getting to know each other under tense circumstances.
It hits me so hard whenever the survivors refer to the island or the community they've created there as 'home'.
'What Kate Did': h-holy shit, Kate. I wasn't sure whether the show would be bold enough to have her crime be anything too bad - or to have her crime exist at all; maybe she'd turn out to be innocent - so I'm sort of delighted to learn that she just murdered the hell out of someone.
I still think Jack and Kate bring out the worst in each other, but I was nonetheless pretty into the scene where they kissed, and how bewildered and possibly slightly turned on Jack looked when Kate was yelling 'I'M SORRY I'M NOT AS PERFECT AS YOU' at him. I like that Kate both initiated the kiss and ran off without saying anything immediately afterwards, leaving poor Jack struggling to process things.
Presumably failing to enter the code wouldn't actually end the world, because the protocol was introduced in response to 'an incident', and the incident in question probably wasn't the apocalypse. The existence of the blast doors suggests that the base might blow up, but it also suggests that the explosion might be contained. So, if the timer runs down without anyone in the base, things might be okay. But I can understand that it's hard to take the risk when all you know is 'if the timer runs down, something unknown and bad happens'.
I hate this timer; it's so stressful!
Kate's attraction to Sawyer is tied up in his similarities to the terrible father she murdered? That is fucked up and I'm intrigued.
'The 23rd Psalm': awww, Sawyer struggling with the concept of people liking him is pretty cute.
I'm also touched by seeing 'our' survivors show kindness to the newcomers from the tail. I'm glad the tail survivors are in a better situation now, even if they're still stranded on the island; they've really had it rough.
'The Hunting Party' is a great episode if you like Jack having breakdowns and making terrible decisions. Loved him slamming his hands furiously against the lockers.
Is Jack just incapable of going through a stressful situation with someone else without developing feelings for them? I choose to believe so, because it's a great foundation for shipping him with everyone on the island.
It's too late for their marriage, but I'm sort of impressed that Jack's response to the kiss was to go home, tell his wife about it and pledge that he's going to be better about spending time with her. He's very bad at relationships, but he's trying.
I knew from the start that Jack was going to be my favourite character. I tried so hard to pretend it wasn't inevitable. I like some of his qualities and could do without others, but it all adds up to a character I really enjoy watching.
Jack is nowhere near the perfect hero he seems to be at first glance; he's condescending and petty and kind of sexist sometimes. He strives unsuccessfully to avoid his own feelings. He's got a desperate need to save everyone that's going to destroy you when you're a doctor. He can handle pressure on a practical level but can't cope at all on an emotional one. He's trying so hard to keep their community under control when he can barely even control his own actions. Sometimes he cries and it's great.
