Lost finale (Spoilers!!!!!!), BP mess now screwing up Louisiana's Wetlands, Bret Michaels, Brittany Murphy's husband, etc.

So much to blog about today...

Last night my local news kind of took me aback, because on one station they actually put Lost finale news ahead of everything else. And people wonder why so many don't have their priorities straight...I'm a hardcore Lostie (I've got Dharma labels, subscribe to the mag, I'm a member of The Fuselage...own a copy of Bad Twin and everything, but at the same time, it's not all I eat sleep and breath...I know there's a world out there...I'm not saying all Lost fans don't, but every fandom has truly scary people in it that can't prioritize...Why encourage them?)

The BP oil spill...This terrifies me, because I fear one of these days...for whatever reason...there will be nothing anyone can do to clean up their mess...and then it's just going to start destroying the food chain from bottom to top...With pollution and not enough recycling, we're already doing enough damage and now this? I'm just really scared...For those of you out there wondering...I do recycle daily, both at work and at home...But I don't get on a soapbox at anyone about it, because I definitely don't like that being done to me.

Bret Michaels winning the apprentice...I don't know how to feel about that, because I didn't watch the whole season...I don't want to think it's a pity win...Goodness knows that man's been to hell and back though...so he deserved something...I was never really a huge Poison fan ( back when I was into metal, I preferred harder edged bands with more eclectic sounds, like Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, Living Color, ...)I liked a few songs hear and there Somethin' to Believe In comes to mind at the moment. I remember funny stuff like that comic that Revolutionary put out where Guns N' Roses get into a pool fight and Hugh Hefner's mansion...I've watched a Season of Rock of Love too...I hope his health improves...

Brittany Murphy's hubby...Until more details are released I don't want to speculate too much...but I feel like there's something hinky about that whole thing...If it was suicide...I just find that incredibly sad...

Finally, my take on the Lost finale...I was a bit disappointed...It wasn't hard to see the purgatory allusions...A lot of people predicted it. I was not one. :) About all I was sure about was that it was not Vincent's dream...I feel like a lot of new territory that could have been explored wasn't. What was up with all the Ancient Egyptian glyphs particularly the ones on the flipping counter in the Swan station and the huge statue of Tawaret? (Must've been a flimsy a#$ statue for a wooden ship to break it.)...Jacob and the Man in Black's foster mom sure didn't look Egyptian.

I didn't expect to have every question answered, but to leave things that were such a huge part of the initial seasons hanging in the air like that? It nagged at me...(It's not hard to imagine why I will probably turn to fan fiction to fill the void...)

Where the h*#$ was Walt????!!!! Yes, actors age, but he'd have aged on the island too. They could have chalked it up to the electromagnetic forces anything. Everyone's hair grew...Why wouldn't a child grow?...I don't understand that.

The fact that there was no Ana Lucia, Mr. Eko, or Michael and Walt in Jack's version of heaven disconcerted me too...What's up with that? Why is Rose the only Black person in the whole church? Then I also had to wonder...wouldn't Sun, Jin, and Sayid depending on their religions have their own ideas of heaven (I guess the stained glass window was supposed to solve this problem...but I'm still just not satisfied)? It was said that this was a place they all created for each other...but I felt like it was just a pretty way to wrap everything up in a neat little bow, and please the romantics in the audience...and don't think I didn't tear up a little, but at the same time the gears were turning feverishly in my brain. It's like Cuse and Lindelof took a page from Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones. It had bits of something else in it too...I could remember last night, but for some reason I can't remember now.

Someone on another site also brought up the fact that the MIB/Flocke was killed before he could have a shot @ redemption...He seemed to far gone to me, but that's just my take...

Ben...I'll never be able to suss him out...The way he risked his life to save Hurley's...I can't figure out whether that was him being maniuplative so he could use it later or he was genuine...

Boone...It would have been sad not to see him, but I just felt like he was just so much eye candy last night...I wanted to post a picture of him from last night maybe I can find one later...(What tripped me out is someone out there probably was watching and went "Ooh Damon Salvatore! Not realizing he was Boone first.) :D

I thought that scene where Desmond was putting the light out bordered on cheesy and I can't quite put my finger on why...

Was it really necessary to have Claire give birth in the concert hall to have things come full circle? Something about that felt a little too staged to me...It's like Cuse and Lindelof were trying a little too hard to get things to come full circle.

No Nikki and Paulo? lol

Was the island ever really underwater? I don't see how it could've been.

I have favorite seasons (1, 2, 5 and 6)...

That beginning and ending coming full circle thing...I loved it but at the same time I thought it was a little too cute.

I almost forgot about the Target commercials...I don't know which made me laugh harder...The computer one or the smoke monster one.

All in all, I guess it couldn't ended in a worse way, but I felt like it could have been a bit better too. I'll be curious to see if the alternate endings are for real...I set the DVR for Jimmy Kimmel, because I had to work today...And my boss was going to pitch a fit if I called in. The money's worth it though, so I think I'll suck it up...at least for now.

Lost contains spoilers.....Can't believe there's only one more episode

Where on earth do I begin?

The reason Jacob picked Sawyer, Kate, and ...I sort of figured that out on my own...bizarrely I feel somewhat let down.

Did not expect Widmore to get killed. :(

Ben reverted back to form...or maybe he never changed...I believe he's an opportunist plain and simple. I was hoping for his redemption...I guess not.

Jack stepped up to protect the island without a peep from the other three(?). What was that all about? I don't even think he gave anyone else time to say anything...

How many of y'all were half hoping Rookie Blue was Sawyer's, Miles's and Ana Lucia's new show. (Missed seeing Michelle Rodriguez...Her part was too short for me, but at least she was there.)

I enjoy how in the sideways world almost everyone seems to be happy and/or fulfilled.
Wish I knew what was going to happen with Kate, Desmond, and Sayid...there endings might not be so happy. :(

If I think of more I'll add it...

Wonder if my text will appear?

I wish my mother had been able to see the end of Lost. It started out as something we watched together and we caught it from the very beginning which was rare...We didn't have the same taste in TV shows either, so it was odd and beautiful to find something that clicked with both of us that we could watch together. I miss her so much.

WTF???!!! WTF???!!! Last nights Lost does contain spoilers...

I didn't even have to go to Angry Asian Man's blog to know he'd be beyond seriously po'd...I thought about him from the moment the sub drama went down...My mother would even have been mad at what happened to Jin and Sun. Sawyer has had his shining moments and his not so shining moments...But what would make Jack pick him over Sun and Jin? Another thing that puzzled me was I couldn't even completely see what Sun was trapped behind...and look at all the stuff they went through to get back to each other (time travel, being captured or split up time and again) not to mention they have a little girl at home...Sheesh! I don't even think Sawyer's going to like that when he comes to. He would have been none the wiser if Jack left him either... Hate to sound so cold, but the thought had crossed my mind. I wonder this won't alienate Cuse and Lindeloff(sp?)'s Asian fanbase completely. I've never seen Flashforward, so I have no idea what C and L do with the Asian characters on there. Racialiscious has an excellent roundtable on it though. And Hurley just broke down. That hurt too. I felt the same way he did. Hurt and shocked. I have to wonder if they'll ever deal with Walt again, or he just gets treated like an afterthought. What a crummy ending to a show I used to love. It's going to take a lot to redeem this show in my eyes, and frankly I just don't see it happening at all.

And don't even get me started on Sayid! Again, WTF ????!!!!

I forgot to check who specifically wrote last night's episode, because I just want to yell. Yell at all the parties responsible. Will there ever be a popular/cult favorites series that features minorities and treats them fairly? Is that too much to ask? Guess all us minority writers better get to writing, huh? Minority viewers and actors need us now more than ever in Hollywood it appears.

I did a dumb thing...

Forgot to blog about this...My finger still hurts too. Last night, I was trying to cut my trazodone in half with a kitchen knife. I nicked myself and bled through the band-aid. It didn't look like I had cut that deep, but I guess I did.

Found a recipe for Tres Leche cake on the internet. I love Tres Leche cake. I'd never had it before until I was at the American Indian Museum. It was one of the most wonderful things I've ever tasted.

Sh*t! I was so preoccupied with Lost, I forgot about Glee.

Lost rant *contains spoiler*

Why did the Jin and Sun reunion only last a couple of seconds/minutes? They (Cuse and Lindelof) keep them apart for practically a whole season or more and Jin and Sun only get to be together for a few seconds? WTF?!! As happy as I was to see Sideways Hurley get to be with Sideways Libby...last night pissed me off royally. A co-worker of mine who also watches Lost and I were talking and I found out I was not the only one ticked off. What are these guys thinking? I'd love to hear what they have to say for themselves in the DVD commentary.

I'm also wondering how they plan to tie up all the loose ends in 4 episodes... This is definitely going to make for interesting viewing...I don't have my hopes so high they I expect something miraculous, but at the same time, I want to be satisfied...and I'm very afraid I won't be...Oh well, if all else fails, there's always the wonderful world of Lost fanfic.

Sci-Fi Fantasy Hodge Podge

I was just looking over some of the Comments threads about this season of Lost, particularly the season ender. I ought to be ashamed that this hadn't occurred to me before. Particularly when there was a time when I ate, slept, and breathed anything that had to do with Ancient Egypt.
I still refuse to believe that they (producers, set designers, etc.) would have overlooked the fact that crocodiles don't have ears. Or that they so hastily switched from Anubis to Sobek that the ears were again overlooked. I'm beginning to agree with the person who mentioned Set. The picture they have of Set on Wikipedia even has the ankh in its hand (Not that I think that everything on Wikipedia is gospel, but sometimes it comes through.). The question is which version of Set are we getting? This again raises the question of who is "good" or who is "evil". Is everything really so cut and dried?

Jacob's touches and the horcrux possibility that someone suggested didn't occur to me either (and it should've, because I did read the whole Harry Potter series). Sleep deprivation is not a joke, guess I'm finding that out the hard way.

Gearing up for Lost (no spoilers)

Well last week, my time travel theory got shot down. (ie. the universe did not implode when Miles saw himself as a baby. Therefore, at least in the Lostverse, alternate versions of yourself can exist in the same time period.) I would also still like to believe that Sun's not being transported into 1977 with the rest of the Oceanic 6, is not solely a plot device to prolong her long-awaited reunion with Jin. I'm curious about that riddle about what lies in the shadow of the statue too. (Hell, I thought the statue itself was riddle enough, not to mention the temple.)
