Okay, now that my stupid angsty baby-writer bullshit is out of the way (not that you've even seen a tenth of it, I reserve all of that self-loathing for my paper journal, which cannot judge me for being pathetic and self-hate-y), can we talk about some motherfuckin' LOST

I join you on the WTF towards most things. But I can sort of help you with the "shadow of the statue" people - we saw the guy that's with them (the woman's sidekick) earlier when he was in a van that kidnapped Miles and tried to keep him from going to the island. Miles was being hired by Widmore, so that scene made it seem like they were actively against Widmore since the were trying to stop his plans. But I don't think we know much more than that. Also, the answer to "what lies in the shadow of the statue" was (in Latin) "he who protects/saves us all" and since Jacob lived inside the statue, it seems to be a general consensus that the shadow people are trying to help Jacob, and so if they're against Widmore then it seems like Widmore is trying to fight Jacob. Or something. I don't fully understand it either, but it seems like there are 3 sides coming out now: Ben, Widmore, and Jacob. They all seem to hate each other. Not sure where the Losties fit into this, but as long as Kate gets what's coming to her at some point, I'll be

[subjective]

I agree with the above analysis. Also, and I missed this the first time 'round because my local station blacked out for 60 seconds near the end, but when Jacob & Locke ("Locke"?) are chatting in the foot statue, Jacob says to him, "so you finally found your loophole." Which refers back to the opening with Jacob & the unnamed guy, who said to Jacob "do you have any idea how much I want to kill you? one day I'll find a loophole." So I guess it is possible that this ghosty Locke might be a version of the unnamed guy (who some people are calling Esau), & possible ghosty Christian, etc, could also be a version of him?

I don't know what to make of the bomb or what's going to happen now. But I do know that I'm pissed that Juliet is (apparently?) dead, & that in the end they had her succumb to the heinous love quadrangle instead of being the badass we all know she is. And also I am sick of this show killing off women. Seriously.

Oh right, "Locke" is actually the black-shirted guy from the first scene, although who that really is...no one knows. I've heard some people say that it's the smoke monster?!

And WORD to the killing off of female characters (although if Kate finally bit it, I'd be thrilled). It's getting a little ridiculous. Almost as bad as the godawful love square! At the end of the second-to-last episode when Sawyer & Juliet are all "oh, we'll go off into the sunset and live together" and then BAM Kate drops in, I nearly kicked in my tv. WE GET IT, SHOW. KATE IS EVERYONE'S TRUE LOVE. JESUS.

(Can you tell how much I hate Kate?)

OH my god, THANK YOU! I was PISSED that Kate showed up on the sub!!!! I cannot STAND HER. Although I do quite love her hair. LOL!! I loved Juliet. LOVED. I am so mad she is dead, supposedly.

I had to read part of this aloud to Dave because I was just laughing about the buildings still being there if a nuclear bomb goes off!!!! He cracked up! It is so true - that show is a total cluster of wtf!!! I love it, too, though - and I have quite a thing for Sayid. LOL!!

[soalivesofree]

Sayid is so hot. Brian was all surprised the first time I mentioned it, and I was like, what, I can't find an Iraqi man to be hot? Of course, it doesn't hurt that he is hot AND tortured AND a stone-cold killer. For some reason that combo in a fictional character is my Kryptonite. (See also: Dexter.)

I have to accept that whenever I try to apply logic to the show, I will fail miserably. Because earth logic and Lost logic do not even occupy the same epistemological universe, and trying to cross-apply the two will only result in a big fucking headache. Better to just go with the flow on this.

Oh my god, I have a thing for Dexter, too!!!!!!!!!!! Hahhahahaha! Hot, tortured, and a stone cold killer = yummy. There might be something wrong with us. :P
