Kate and Miles was completely off the cuff. Actually, thinking about it, she should get together with What's Her Face Clementine's mother instead. That would be a lot better. Miles could still come round. I like Miles. He is like the definition of "Only Sane Man".
That was one of the few things I liked about the seventies plot. Sawyer stayed IC all the way through and proved that he had become a leader and a hero. He has grown up so much over the course of the series and when this season put him on the spot he rose to the challenge. Which contrasted nicely with Jack's decent into crazy possessive drunkenness. I don't hate Jack. Its... its complicated. I think that the writers did a damn good job in creating him and writing him. I like the fact that he was set up to be the hero of the show and that as the series goes on his weaknesses and flaws are exposed and brought to the surface. I still think he is one of the least interesting characters on the show and when he isn't being dull I find him infuriating but still believable as a human being which I am grateful for.
I think I talked a little about the present story line (i.e. the only bits I could bear to watch) on your recent journal post so yeah... I did find it interesting. Lost is the Ben and Locke show really. I have faith that the writers will deliver up a really interesting knotty story next season where, hopefully, everyone will start acting IC again. But ranting is more fun than talking about that!
Sayid... I think I just assumed that the show would want to keep the actor in. :)
Actually don't generally like spoilers especially in a show like Lost but the next thing I did after writing my rant was check whether Juliet was coming back. I wasn't entirely reassured. Going to say stuff that has casting spoilers in it ...........
It seemed that she was more of a guest star the next season which, Lost being Lost, could be flashbacks and ghosts and any number of things apart from her being alive. Grrr!
