tenayaHas just made the list of shows I watch because 1) I have a horrified fascination of what they will do next and 2) have one or two supporting actors I still want to watch no matter what they are in. To a point, that is....
Strong opinions to follow:
The only two characters I like are Locke and Sayid. The rest of them are so annoying that I'm hoping something happens to them (actually, they are so stupid they all should have drowned in the first rain storm from looking up at the sky to see what was hitting them on the head while their vacant mouths fill up with water.) Charlie is an exception as his character is annoying when he's supporting, but good when the action focuses on him, then he becomes complex and endearing. I loved those scenes between him and Locke, but when he's supporting he's whiney and repetitive and my mind wanders along the path of what sort of discipline he might improve under and who would be best for the job. Delenn needs to capture more darkly handsome men and tie them up, but use better rope this time. And Locke's actor always brings more depth and spirituality to a role than is on the page, so he's just as fun and intriging as always.
The rest I could go on long rants about why I dislike them so much but why bother, though maybe the kid is becoming less annoying. That's probably because he hangs with Locke. But I digress.
This last episode hit a button of mine. Hit it 32 times actually. Yes, you guessed it, it was the CPR scene. Frankly, after that display, I'm thinking Jack is such a damn loser and idiot that he turned his father into the medical review board and the criminal justice system out of pure Oedipal issues. That was so obviously not CPR and so obviously beyond melodramatic that is was too frigging embarrassing to watch (but I did anyway.) When Jack stopped assulting poor Charlie the first time, I actually thought, "Oh, good fake out!" and my hopes went up. I had seen an interview that stated that Dominic Monaghan was secure in the cast because of his fan following, so I wasn't worried about him. But, he was dead, even though no one dies in Science Fiction maybe he'd be coming back ala The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. But then he magically revived. Right. With how the scene played out, I've quit giving them the benefit of the doubt and now think the production is filled with wankers. Maybe it's a daisy chain of wankers....
And lest you think it was just the CPR that set me off, I was gritting my teeth through the whole show. Jack needs to be tethered to a palm tree where his neuroses won't harm anyone else. But now that I think about it, what exciting drama that might make! A frigging imcompetent doctor stranded on an island with 47 eventual opportunities for malpractice and wrongful death; this could be just as informative as CSI is.
Of course, this episode had 18.9 million viewers and was the highest rated show that night. As usual, what the hell do I know? I've nearly quit watching new shows because the ones I like get cancelled really fast. I guess this will be around for years and years then.
A scene in this episode reminded me of a dream I was having when GG's phone call/bath woke me up. There was lots of weird stuff I can't remember, but it ended with me house sitting this nice looking house that wasn't so nice. Have you ever seen the growths that a potato puts out when it's trying to sprout? One of those was sprouting out of the inside of my ankle. It got longer and thicker. By the time it was well past my knee, I put my hand on it and could feel it grow with each pulse of my heartbeat. I thought about snapping it off but could see that the base was flesh and not at all snapible. I was really getting worried and was fretting I didn't have any Kelly clamps big enough to clamp it off when GG woke me up. As I shamelessly listened in to his conversation, I kept running my foot over my ankle to reassure myself I was growthless and felt very relieved indeed. I don't want to be a potato.
