Jin's "death" still makes me

Why can't one couple be happy on this show?

**Jazz** · 08-21-2008, 08:11 AM

There will be a couple happy on the show. Locke and the island.

but they're separated for now and Locke is dead so they're not happy right now.

Think Jack/Kate have problems? Look at what happened to Locke/Island.

I'm so excited to find out what happened with the island and its inhabitants after it was moved. I refuse to believe that Jin is dead. He's too pretty to die.

**LilMouse** · 08-21-2008, 11:23 AM

the sad thing is we're still going to be subjected to the O6.

Mone · 08-21-2008, 12:06 PM

I don't want boring people on my show about a magical island. I want to see the magical island.

we need to bombard the writers with smartness.

The people they put in the O6 group are their favorite people to write for. Jin & Claire get the shaft so of course they'd be in the BTW what's been going on with those other people group.

did anyone read this imdb review for The Perfect Game?

and clichés abound leading me to tell you all to make sure you check your mind at the door; it will not be needed. I don't want to fault any of the acting, except of course Emilie de Ravin's atrocious accent that made me want to wring her neck, because it isn't bad considering the script and material.

it makes me

divaduck · 08-22-2008, 01:47 PM

I never pay any mind to any critics who insult her accent, she can never cut a break, it's too American, it's too Australian. I did read that she was trying to pull of more of a Katherine Hepburn type of voice, so maybe it was that, that they wern't liking, who knows.

**LilMouse** · 08-22-2008, 05:50 PM

I don't think the person who wrote the review even realizes that she's supposed to sound like Katherine Hepburn. If she succeeded in sounding like her then I guess the review isn't that much of a diss.

Ouch to the review.

Honestly, I am so completely uninterested in The Perfect Game, I'm not particularly fussed by the bad review for Emilie. Heh.

Come now...the island is merely hiding Locke.

What I like about The Perfect Game is that it's a family film and a feel good film unlike the dark and depressing films Emilie has done before. And I do want to hear her K, Hepburn impersonation. Other than that I can wait to see it.

like the real Locke isn't where his body is?

Mone · 08-23-2008, 10:20 AM

It would be so funny for the O6 to haul Jeremy Bentham's body back to the island and start some crazy resurrection process, only to have Locke & the rest appear out of the jungle... "What do you think you're doing?" ... Ben: "Gotcha, O6!"

I fully expect certain people to crucify Marion Cotillard for her American accent in Public Enemies as well.

There's this L.A. Times article about the season finale which sheds a little light on how they chose the O6...

Quote:

"Jack has been saying from the word go, 'I'm gonna get everybody off the island.' So we thought, 'What happens if the hero accomplishes his goal but realizes he's made a horrible mistake?' " Lindelof said. "And he would only qualify it a success if Kate were off the island as well. We also knew the baby had to be a part of it. Then we asked ourselves, 'Who are the other people who have something to go back to and what might their lives be like off the island?' "

Source

It's actually a good explanation for the Kate/Aaron disaster (and Kate's "trial"). The writers wanted both off the island, and they wanted Kate to be free from her legal troubles and happy as a clam - but they had no actual story for their female lead beyond being a prop in Jack's redemption arc. So they just came up with SoccerMomKate and hoped the viewers would like it...

and then Jack gets that psycho look that always appears on his face and kills Ben.

that right there is a problem for me because he didn't get everyone off the island. And it annoys me that they're saying only Kate's well being matters. If she safe then his mission is a succes
