Juliet was a wise woman. She understood the Jack/Kate story. It doesn't mean she didn't have feelings for Jack because she certainly did. I just believe she never seriously thought she had a long term shot with Jack because of Jack and Kate. I really, really love how Jack/Juliet were there for each other in Purgatory before reuniting with Kate and Sawyer. It proves in my mind the bond that Jack/Juliet had was real and sustaining. I love how that was highlighted. I also love thinking about how Kate and Juliet can now truly be friends. I wish we would have seen a hug between them. That would have been nice because you just feel like that is the assumption... they will be walking around on clouds together in heaven while Jack and Sawyer are bantering on different clouds as well, heh. |

Lost
To me, one scene from Something Nice Back Home sums it up nicely. Quote:

And yes, if it wouldn't have been for Jack/Kate I definitely agree Jack/Juliet could have made it work romantically in the long term. I really believe this. It is so realistic, too, in that everyone has a true love, the one person they are meant to be with far beyond this earth... Jack and Kate were IT for each other. However, you also have other relationships that are very important such as what Jack/Juliet had together. They were not the ultimate for each other, but that does not lessen the bond and deep caring they had for each other. No way. Actually, same goes for Kate and Sawyer. They were not meant to be but they shared important times together, I will admit that. Although I find what Jack/Juliet shared with each other was a little more special (I point to the fact that Jack/Juliet literally found each other in Purgatory and felt very familiar with each other whereas Kate/Sawyer did not share any significant moments together in Purgatory if you think about it... Jack/Juliet was much more meaningful given how they came together) I still think Kate/Sawyer had something together. They were there for each other on the Island at some key moments. So even if Jack/Kate and Sawyer/Juliet were endgame, they certainly shared bonds with other people which doesn't remotely take away from what they have together. I know I was joking about the foursome having some fun together in Eternity... but I truly believe that, too. The labels and definitions are set... in the end they were all happy, with their true loves, reconnecting with each other and their other dynamics they had that were special, as well as the group as a whole. It was all so beautiful. Quote:
Amazing collection of wins, huh? Look at every category... it says something significant. I am most impressed with the "Single Most Clever Twist." Take that people who didn't find it amazing because it was. LOL. I have a feeling the Emmy's are going to grab on tight to Lost. I really do. They better, it is so deserving! Hey, any progress on getting the DVD collection from your family? Heh. Also, how did you feel about Claire's story in the end and her reunion with Charlie? |

So y'all remember me talking about the Supanova Expo in Sydney that coincides with the weekend I'm there, right? With Eliza Dushku and Charisma Carpenter and Tahmoh Penkiett? Well it turns out Tahmoh had to cancel... ..BUT in his place, there's Dichen Lachman and Summer Glau. I'm so unbelievably pumped! So I believe Eliza and Summer are going to be my two "free" autographs. Anyway, here's the updated description of what I'll get:
And now I'm going to sleep. 10:30pm here means my tour departs in 8 hours! __________________

Sounds like it's gonna be an awesome time. I'm sure you're gonna have a blast. I know I'm jealous that you're gonna get to meet Eliza. Summer and Charisma are both really nice, so I know you'll like them.

I have no idea who any of these people are, Gaby...but it sounds like what ever it it...it's going to be great. Have fun.
Drop Dead Diva I wasn't thrilled with Jane's groveling in the last episode. FNL: Matt!!! I wasn't thrilled with that ending. |

I can't believe the first Season of Glee is over!!! It did, however, end with a bang & contained some awesome songs & fantastic moments, both poignant & hysterical! I'll be listening to the soundtracks (I have all 4 of them) on loop and wishing I had some semblance of musical ability until it's back on my TV or I get the DVDs... DVDS are out mid-September, but no idea when Season 2 starts!

Glee
I inquired about the show once it first got started but I didn't end up checking it out since Lost took over my brain... I generally know how Glee is structured but would you say the show has evolved nicely over the first season and has the quality maintained? I'm trying to figure out if I should give it a go. |

That's funny, Michelle, 'cause I've just been confused & annoyed by Season 5 of Lost quite a lot. Maybe it's just me, but I like shows that make me think, but not ones that make my brain explode, which is what Season 5 was doing to me!
Glee is very fluffy & light, which is exactly what I needed. The music is awesome and that's what got me sucked in, as the cast do covers from The Beatles to Broadway, passing via Beyoncé, so quite a range there. That's how I started watching it, basically just having it on in the background & just listening to the songs and occasionally glancing at the screen. There are also some very funny lines, mainly delivered by Jane Lynch. Some of the eps haven't had a particularly strong plot, most of them kind of beat you over the head with the episode's theme, but the music choices are pretty stellar and there are usually awesome dance routines to go with them. I definitely think the final episode was amazing, and I think the entire cast are phenomenally talented. I love all the characters, although some I love to hate! It just makes me ridiculously happy, which can't be a bad thing! |

That's not to say you shouldn't watch. At it's best, Glee is a lot of fun, as evidenced by the NPH episode. It's just that, at it's worst, Glee isn't any better than most of the other dreck on television, and that's something I hope they work on in the second season. Leaves of Grass I was just reading about this movie, starring Edward Norton, Kerri Russell, and Tim Blake Nelson (who wrote and directed the movie) in my local paper. Apparently, although it wasn't filmed here, it is actually set in Idabel, which is kinda cool. I'm interested to see Tulsa native Tim Blake Nelson's version of Idabel, so I'll definitely be checking this one out, especially since it's been getting very good reviews. __________________

Freaks & Geeks
Just watched the series finale today. Damn good stuff. I thought it was really interesting for the producers to film a final episode before the last actual shot episode, knowing that it was going to end, and have it ready for when it actually was canceled. A lot of shows could have used that idea. I also think, as a finale, it was so much more rewarding than Everwood's. Which isn't hard, heh, but still. It went in a completely different direction. While Everwood's finale was kind of trying to be satisfying (and wasn't, in my mind), Freaks & Geeks tried not to be all that satisfying and yet it kind of was. I just find the whole approach so unique, which I guess sums up the show in general, really. But now I'm drained, because there's no more episodes to watch. __________________

How do you like the show, overall, minus the season 5 brain exploding situation? Heh. Quote:

Also... is it bad that I sort of blame Claire for allowing Kate to leave Jack on the Island? I do, because I firmly believe Kate would have stayed if Jack didn't tell her to take care of Claire. Granted, Jack was still actively dying but my thinking still goes there, nevertheless. Am I crazy? Don't answer that (because I know I am, heh) but how do you feel about this? Glee Quote:

Are the ratings good? Do you think this show is around well beyond season 2 or too early to predict? |

Secondly, I blame her too. I think that there's no way that Kate would have left Jack otherwise. You could see it in her stance and the expression on her face: she wasn't leaving. Not until Jack mentioned Claire anyway. Even then she could only begrudgingly leave, and I think that she felt/hoped deep in her heart that Jack wouldn't die (much like the viewers I think), and I think that self-deception helped make the decision bearable.

I've read a recap for a Season 4 episode of Friday Night Lights & it sounds awesome and makes me want to watch it all! I've seen almost all of Season 1, and I freaking adore Coach Taylor (dude is hot) & his wife Tami, and their daughter Julie (I predict that Amy Teagarden who plays her will go on to great things), but my big issue is the accent & no closed captioning on the Season 1 boxset I have. I find it really hard to understand what they're saying. All the football stuff goes right over my head, but that's OK, as I don't think I'll ever understand most sport rules and as long as I can tell which team's ahead/the winner, that's all I need to know!
Apparently Season 2 isn't as good as Season 1, and no idea if Season 3 is worth watching, but Season 4 sounds amazing! |

Kate gazing at Jack in the earlier scene as he was looking off in the distance spoke with such meaning. That, to me, was one of the most powerful scenes of the entire finale for Jack/Kate. Quote:
The irreversible comment and Hurley's response: Quote:
Kate has a sense of desperation there with Jack. She wants to start the declarations, she is so focused on their love together in this scene. It's crystal clear. Quote:
