Oh God. Dear Locke, looks like even if they're butchering your character your episodes will always fill me with glee someway.

http://spoilerslost.blogspot.com/2008/05/episode-411-cabin-fever-sneak-peek.html

I'm referring to the second sneak peek. Don't worry about the first, nothing we don't know. The second one.

They're back. My team awesome is back. And the captain helps them (seemingly so) and I mean pantry with space and food for two? And Sayid is plotting. And they're back. And Desmond. Oh Desmond. Oh Desmond. Oh my plot bunnies. I mean, I try all afternoon to write Des/Claire confrontation fic and it's rubbish and now one minute of sneak peek and my fingers itch.

Oh Locke, thanks for existing and for making your episodes awesome even if you aren't so awesome anymore.

Oh my team awesome.

Sorry, I'm blathering. I realize it. They just make me too happy for words and it just sucks that three more episodes and I'll have to spend nine months to plot their reunion. But whatever. I don't care. They're back next week, thanks Jacob. Oh Desmond. Finally I'm seeing you again after two months. It's been too long.

Damn, I'm so really hopeless. Sorry for the ranting again but...

Oh, when it's Thursday?

I was supposed to watch Doctor Who but whatever. I love Des and Sayid just chilling there. But I'm not sure if the Captain will be helping them, unfortunately.

Must. Watch. DW. Now.

I'm not sure either but I want to think he helps them. I mean, he's hot. If he turns out to be good no one stops me from threesome. *coughs*

Good DW!

AAHH YES. I like the way your mind works. Ahem. But you can still have threesome even though he's evil!

Yes I'm watching Doctor Who now so.. yeah. This entry is distracting me. :'D

Ok, I know Sayid is awesome, but he's going to paddle the entire population of the island 80 MILES to the boat...even with repeat trips, that would just be exhausting...lol. I mean, I know the raft has a motor, but is there that much gas to be had?

/speculation

God, I'M SO GLAD DESMOND IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally posted this link on [livejournal.com profile] henryian_daily and credited you. I normally check every day but have been busy with my kid! Yea!!! I'm so excited. Can you tell? LOL

Sayid Jarrah is the Lost equivalent to Chuck Norris sister.... if he says he can, he can ;)

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY HE'S SO BACK! *GLEES*

I am totally excited, too. Oh Locke, your episodes always are good for Desmond. *sigh*

Thank's for the heads up! I knew that raft would come in handy. Though, I am also intrigued at the thought of them holed in the pantry for days. Hmmm, is the captain a goody or a baddie?

How many more days until Thursday?

In others news, I had a breakthrew today, courtesy of Dr. Shephard Sr. - of all people, that allowed me to complete a draft of my fanon as canon story of yours. It's definitely more sombre than crack but there are some moments I hope people will find amusing.

I hope for goody. Mmmmh, but them holed in the pantry.... *plot bunnies start dancing wildly around*

I think four. Or five for me since it's Friday morning. I so can't wait.

Dr Shephard senior? That's awesome to hear! I can't wait to see what you did with it. Hey, I may not like him much on show but I totally love his fictional self.... ;)

Dear my spoiler filter,

Quick question! Apparently there are new Desmond photos floating around from the the finale. I have not seen them and want to avoid anything spoilery in terms of plot. By the the number of explanation marks in the LJ cut line I'm guessing they reveal one of two big things but I don't (do, but don't) want to know. If you've seen them, can you tell me are the pics spoilery or are they just pretty?

Thanks!

Uuuuhm. I've seen them and while I didn't think it was exactly a big spoiler (it's about the O6) because when I saw the pics it wasn't nothing I didn't expect but it spoils plot and it's more HIC's double than HIC himself. They're also not very big and the pretty is not that visible so if you don't want plot spoiled I'd say you can avoid them safely.

Des and Sayid back to save the show! They need some serious screentime catch up. Especially Des. I don't think a Des/Claire confrontation will ever happen on the show since they've disappeared Claire from the story, but I'd love to see you fic it. All I'm hoping for is a Danny/Dessy meeting before the end. And maybe a Penny appearence, if not undead!Charlie.

I hope I manage to finish your 'Dead but here' fic some time. I've decided to do it with Boone POV and boy, I have to say I'm surprised. I thought I'd struggle, but Boone is a little dream to write for!

HELL YES THEY DO. They're so back and I don't care about the rest of the episode. If they manage to salvage the Locke wreck I'll be much happy but if they don't who cares. They save the show!!

The Claire disappearing is probably what is messing with that fic. I had wanted to write it for two months but procrastinated because I wouldn't have treated Claire fairly but now it'd be an AU, I don't like it, I'm not treating her fairly anyway and I just can sense that it doesn't work. Argh, I'll probably have to ditch it for now.

I've decided to do it with Boone POV and boy, I have to say I'm surprised. I thought I'd struggle, but Boone is a little dream to write for!

\O/ HELL YES! *does the happy dance* Isn't he just the most cooperative little pretty thing ever? Now you got me damn excited, can't wait to read it! And yeah, he's a dream indeed. I think that he just wants recognition and so when you give it to him he just comes easily, or at least that's how it is for me. *sighs*

If you're ditching the Des/Claire fic could you at least give me a quick description of what it was going to be like? You have got me all curious now.

It'll be another few weeks at least before I get back to my Undead fic. I might wait till the show has gone away, because 90% of the time it just gets me down. But yeah, Boone's POV has really saved this fic. I started off using Alex POV but it was too depressing, as was Charlie POV. Danielle POV I didn't even want to contemplate. Then I tried with Boone and...he was so zen! He was able to be sensitive, thoughtful, but also completely calm about the situation, which is what I needed. And I'm totally squishing on Boone/Charlie.

I guess I'll ditch it for now, maybe if they clear what's happened with Claire after the finale I may go back to it with a clearer head.

The setting already is a mess. First it had to take place between the Economist and Eggtown giving that Des took a trip to the Barracks before leaving, then it had to be post finale with them staying at the Barracks, then the Barracks got destroyed last week and I tried doing it post finale with them staying in the Temple but the setting already feels forced and doesn't convince me. Anyway it basically goes like this. Des has both the list and the ring (let's say he took it from the cradle before going on the freighter because he had thought it was going to get lost otherwise) and tries to give them to her, only she's been avoiding him every time he tries. So I start when he decides to get it over for good, he forces her to listen to him, she starts blaming him for Charlie dying, he kinda loses it and throws both list and ring at her leaving and goes on his own, then after some time she comes back, says she's sorry and he didn't deserve it. Then they talk about it for some time and I had this idea that in the end they both saw ghost!Charlie for one second or two but as things are now I'm making her seem like an ungrateful idiot and it really wasn't my target, Des is thinking in clichés and it just looks forced. *sighs* Maybe it's because canon has totally confused me on how I should have written it but I just can't get it the way I want.

OMG I can believe that Alex/Charlie/Danielle would've been too depressing! I'm sure he's a total darling with everyone there. And hey, an ex pacifist has to be zen right? ;) and BRING ON the Boone/Charlie! They're so afterlife boyfriends.. ;)

It's really hard to write any canon based fic using the ring, the list and Claire/Des reactions to Charlies death, because all these things have been ignored on the show. I have no idea how Desmond or Claire feel about Charlie. I don't see why I have to imagine their reactions and pretend these things happened off-camera. The impression I get from the show is that Hurley is the only one who ever cared about Charlie. Which bugs because Charlie gave his life for Claire and it was Desmond who led him to this fate. They should feel something! I'm especially concerned about Desmonds lack of reaction, because unlike Claire, I love his character. But Desmond really hasn't had any screentime, besides The Constant. I've seen promo pics showing that Sayid gets back to the beach by ep12. If Desmond gets back too and he isn't freaked out by the Claire/Aaron thing then I'll start wondering what happened to S3 Des...

I am actually making BIG use of Boone's pacifist side in my fic. Boone doesn't believe in guns and now his afterlife realm is over-run with people who have suffered indescriminate gun deaths. Boone is especially dismayed by Alex's execution style death. There is also a little flashback to living!Boone in 'Daddy Issues' when he joined the trek to rescue Charlie/Claire. The idea is that Boone always wanted to save innocent hostages/pawns from other peoples conflicts. So now Boone is doing this in the afterlife. He is still the liberal humanitarian. Anyway, I'll try not to take too long, because I think you'll really like this story!

You have a point there. About Desmond, I've got my meta based on the first episode which corresponds more or less to what I wrote in that lack of God prompt. Aka he's feeling awfully guilty (also because of his face when Penny mentioned Charlie during the call) but with being on the freighter/having not that much screentime they didn't explore that except for episode one. I guess that if he stays back one could see it in S5 or as you said in the finale but, not enough. My problem is really Claire because crying in episode one and a Charlie? when she's confused/shocked in episode 9 doesn't cover it. I've just lost so much interest/patience with her that I'm not able to give her decent character development and I can't bring myself to cut her slack/justify her lack of mourning.

I love your train of thought. And I think you have his personality down pat. Of course he'd despise all the guns related deaths! Considering that Alex's death is also a mercenary's fault.. and Daddy Issues? Now I'm uber-excited. That's like, in my three favorite episodes ever. *squees in glee*

With Desmond, a) he's had so little screentime b) his character always buries things deep c) in The Constant he was bouncing through time and couldn't even think straight d) it isn't like he has been giggling and drinking coffee. So yeah, for those reasons Des bugs less than Claire but I'm still disappointed. Also Desmond/Charlie always kept their flashes angst to themselves. I'm hoping Des might talk to Faraday about it, who is surely gonna question Desmond about his condition, right? Maybe not. Nobody asks sensible questions on that show.

Totally with you on there. And yeah I mean, he surely wasn't giggling or whatever, poor guy. *shakes head* I wonder what would have happened with those two episodes that they had to cut because of the strike. And the last sensible question asked on that show probably was Charlie's where are we? in the pilot, or something like that *sighs*. I hope he talks to Faraday at least. I'd love to see them having some screen time together.
