ebonlockAiiieee! Charlie episode on Lost last night! Of course, first, go read ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cleolinda's brilliant summary including my two favorite lines:
Man, I wish VH1 would do a mock Behind the Music for Driveshaft. That would be awesome.
and
Hurley's all like, "What's wrong with him, man?" and Jack's like, "It is beyond my skill to heal. He needs Elvish medicine."
Hee.
So apparently Locke truly has become island shaman as he's given Charlie his "spirit animal" and it's a skanky little moth. If I were Charlie I'd feel so cheated it's not even funny. But this ep is all about the Charlie and we find out he is an adorable little Catholic boy. Oh my god he was so yummy in that confessional scene, sacri-licious!
We discover he has a bastard older brother, Liam, whose personal neon sign reads, "I will so screw you over" in nice big blinky letters. Fucker. Of course he's the lead singer in a band so what would you expect?
As downward spirals go Charlie's wasn't that bad, I mean by the end of the story he doesn't look utterly destitute and doesn't hit his bro'up for smack money so it could've been worse. I mean if not for the plane crash he might be headed for living-on-the-streets-and-selling-his-body-for-drugs-land, but thankfully the island gods spared him from such a fate. Instead he gets to suffer heroin withdrawal, how kind of them.
Um, so Sayid had a plan that involved a triangle and bottle rockets, but when he comes onscreen I tend to just filter out whatever he's saying and simply sigh, "Pretty". Why he involves Worst Lifeguard Ever is utterly beyond me, I mean dude, Mercutio is at least competant enough to sit on the beach and fire off a rocket. Oh, wait, he's needed up at the cave later on, my bad.
Uh, Sawyer remains an ass, Kate is downright obsessive (just jump Sawyer and have done with it, at least he looks like he's pretty good in bed), and Snicker Ho is, well, Snicker Ho.
Right, cave in of doom when Charlie loses his shit on Dr. Jack Medicine Man, and will Jack *gasp* die? What, are you on crack? Of course not, though it gives Charlie the excuse to be all action hero-y. Good thing he's Hobbit sized so he could fit into that hole, huh? My god he is beyond teh ad0r4ble this week, isn't he? Even in the bad Driveshaft costumes. Of course he saves Dr. Jack via his trusty spirit animal companion (was this a symbolism two by four or what?) and everybody loves the Charlie.
Later on around the campfire I stop thinking, "Say, heroin withdrawal doesn't seem that bad!" as he starts to look pretty shitty. The next few episodes should be all kinds of fun for him. Still, Jack seems all protective of him now...in fact, Jack seems kinda...sweet on him. It would explain a helluva lot, wouldn't it? I mean around Kate, Jack's all nervous and jumpy and generally freaked, like when you're hanging out with someone who has a crush on you and you think of them as a just a friend. That's the vibe I keep getting from the guy anyway. Hmm, Jack/Charlie slash...
Oh and what the hell was up with Sayid getting clocked with a stick? I kept yelling, "Not in the face! Not in the face!" Anybody who would hit my pretty Sayid deserves to be gnawed on by the giant invisible Karl Rove monster. :(
And next week Sawyer in bondage! Sayid and Jack go all medieval on his ass, woo!

Actually, I am eyeing the show warily that both Kate and WLE both abandoned their posts so readly to 'go save Jack' and were willing to leave their rather important duties to two people who they have expressed the opinion of being untrustworthy. I mean, there are 46 able-bodied survivors (not counting Momma of the Apocalypse)--couldn't the other 42 of them cleared out the cave-in?

There was a moment when Charlie and Jack were in the cave where Dom got this...*look*, that had me laugh and comment to

I'm sure we'll find out, but, oooo! Frustration not knowing by the end of the episode!

Date: 2004-11-04 05:48 pm (UTC)Well it was to set up Snicker Ho in her first important Get Us the Fuck off this Island duty, mainly, and I got that from the start. But I do wish the writers would try to be just a bit more subtle. They can do it, I mean I gave them mad props for it in the Locke episode.

I do wonder why everyone seems quite so obsessed with Dr. Jack Medicine Man. I mean sure a doctor is an important thing, but the guy doesn't walk on water or anything so everybody chill. And Kate's kinda walking that thin line between crush and stalker.
I actually felt a little bad for Sawyer when he actually hauled his ass up to go tell Kate about Jack and she sassed him for it. I did think, "Oh well fuck you very much, bitch." and didn't blame him for being a bit of a dick to her. As for Snicker Ho, hey she actually accomplished something constructive rather than simply being a total parasite, she may make a decent human being yet.
