Maybe I'm spoiled because I'm a former Buffy fan. Maybe my creative juices long for the grandiose and the meaningful Shakespearean type deaths. Maybe I just don't get it.
Is it just me? Or does Lost suck in the death department? You kill any character that we have grown to know and love... well. Know anyway. And we are going to get a bit emotional. We're only human. (Well, most of us anyway.) But I feel that we're given it rather cheaply.
Let's take the first big death in the Buffy-verse for example. Jenny Calendar. She was a character who was redeeming herself. She was taking a chance to right the wrong things she felt she'd done. She was trying to save Angel from his alter-ego and she died at his hands before she could see her plans through or share them with anyone. (That's Shakespearean.)
Her death meant many things in the Scooby-verse. It gave us the opportunity to see Angelus at his worst. We SAW him kill her. We knew just what he was capable of and how sadistic he could be with the way he put on the show for Giles in his apartment afterwards. She died heroically, I thought. Doing the right thing. She left a legacy behind. Her translations of the spell survived her and eventually played a huge role in the rest of that season. Passion, is in my opinion one of the best episodes of the series. (One amongst many.) It continued the Joss tradition of pulling the rug right out from underneath you in a meaningful way. One that made you want to simultaneously slap him and kiss him. It was definately one of the episodes in which you took in a little gasp and thought, "This cat is NOT playing around." Deaths in the Buffyverse were serious business and were always given their proper due.
So why can't Lost take a cue from its Cult-Ville sister and give us a little bit of meaning behind all of the "mysterious island" fodder? I love this show. It is definately one of the best on television these days. But there are moments you long for in a show like this that Lost just does not deliver. That moment of clarity. That moment where you go, "This is what is at stake here. This is what has to be done." I don't see that in Lost. And it makes me wonder if I ever will.
I'm not sure I feel like the writers have more than a "sketchy" plan at best for the future. (Spoilers regarding the switching around of episodes tell you that they're not quite as organized as we wish they were!)
I am all about a little mystery, but if the story is good enough it should tell itself. Buffy was good because it bared all. I think Lost could use a little more "exposure" in that department. Maybe then I would understand. But right now? I am at a loss as to how to justify this.
| Quote: | | "Passion, it lies in all of us - sleeping, waiting. And though unwanted - unbidden - it will stir, open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us - guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments: The joy of love; The clarity of hatred; The ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we would know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow - empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we would be truly dead." - Angelus, Passion, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. |

Ok I heard this song (Good Is Good by Sheryl Crow) on the radio the other day and I absolutely fell in love with it and I think it would make a great vid. I don't care what you make it about, ensemble, ships, whatever but someone please take this one. I'm working on another vid at the moment which is going extremely slow so I wouldn't be able to do this one for a while. I'm slower then a snail when it comes to vidding  which is funny because back when I first started making vids (which they all sucked btw) I could do one within an an hour or two. Now I'd be lucky to get one done within a month or two.
Anyway, someone please do this one, I beg of you. 
Sheryl Crow - Good Is Good Lyrics
Good is good and bad is bad
You don't know which one you had
She put your books out on the sidewalk
Now they're blowing 'round
They won't help you when you're down
Love's on your list of things to do
To bring your good luck back to you
And if you think that everything's unfair
Would you care if you're the last one standing there
And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by
I don't hold no mystery
But I can show you how to turn the key
Cause all I know is where I started
So downhearted
And that's not where you want to be
And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And you could find a rock to crawl right under
If all your good times pass you by
When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to rise
When your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don't belong
And you don't know why
And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by
When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to rise
When your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don't belong
Neither do I

Discuss today's episode. Once the show has aired, and you haven't seen it, I do not recommend you read this topic. Until it airs, all spoilers refering to this episode are off limits, and should either be discussed in the spoiler forum or marked in spoiler text in here (white)
Abandoned"
Sawyer's wound becomes life-threatening as he, Michael and Jin make their way through the interior of the island with the tail section survivors. Meanwhile, Shannon is once again haunted by visions of Walt, and Charlie becomes jealous of Locke's interest in Claire.
And absolutely NO mention of the previews for this episode, unless they're in spoiler text. (white) 
Normally LC does this, but I suspect she's having a very very busy time right now, so here you guys go

Hey just wondering if someone could possibly make a C/C vid with the song I Won't Say I'm in Love from the Hercules soundtrack, obviously from Claire's POV, simply because I was listening to the song the other day and I had the image of Claire singing Meg's parts and Kate, Shannon and Sun singing the Muses' parts. Just a thought but would be very grateful if someone could please. xxx
