Ben didn't do anything to Kate during TOTC. Her wrists were bloody because she tried to get out of the handcuffs in the lockerroom and Tom found her crying when she failed. The scene was cut but may appear on the DVD
Guess what...the breakfast con never happened. No kidding. Kate didn't have con sex, blackmail sex, or save Jack sex. Wow, no, really? You mean she actually made love to Sawyer outta her own free will? *gasp* The bubbleheads didn't take Michael Emerson's word for it. Now, maybe they'll get a clue.
Hope for Skaters: It's not all sunshine and kittens with Sawyer and Kate right now, but hang in there for more between the con man and the fugitive. I asked the big bosses whether we would ever get something more like that hot sex scene in the Zoo of Death, and Carlton Cuse promised, "You’ll get either more cages or more sex in an upcoming episode…Just for you." Even better, he added, "Kate and Sawyer are not over. Not by a long shot."
More skate sex is coming? But I thought she just wanted to be friends. That Sawyer disgusts her, and she really really regrets the sex in the cage. Say it ain't so. *snicker* I can guess the spin already, they weren't talking about Skate, it's another couple or sex in general. Bzzzt. Wrong. The context was specifically Sawyer/Kate. So deal, mmmkay?
ETA: Email from Izzy at Lost Spoilerfix (reliable spoiler source) to Lyly Ford of LF:
The love triangle going square will surely be Sawyer/Kate/Jack/Juliet.
There is no hope for Jack/Kate in the near future.
Some of us have known that for some time but it's always nice to hear it re-confirmed by those in the know.

Never Too Late
"It's never too late for a fresh start..."
Could it be? Could the LOST we once loved be returning?
The recap is coming soon, but in the meantime, feel free to discuss the Skangst, the curse, the flashback...and best of all, as a friend said after seeing the episode--NO JACK!!

Holy Jackass, Batman!!!
Did Gregg Nations just bitchslap Flyer nice and good, or what?
Read the whole thing here: http://thefuselage.com/Threaded/showthread.php?t=70321
Gregg's reply:
"Ha! Well, I disagree with your reading of Kate (as humorous as it is though). A dingy, flighty, basket-case? Clueless, timid, helpless? Dumbfounded? All I can really say is that Kate is a complex character. Not every situation needs to be in-your-face screaming. Does Kate make the right decision in every situation? No, but really -- do any of our characters?
You know how sometimes people yell at the people who don't deserve it and never do at the people who do? That misplaced anger could be seen as a growth in her character. She yells at him about Karl but not about their relationship. You have to pick your fights in life, and maybe she decided it wasn't time to fight. What if her reasons for sleeping with Sawyer are complicated? What if there isn't any one good reason but a few both good and bad? Does that make her weak? I personally don't think so."
That's right, the pro-jate interpretations of Kate's character should often be seen in a largely humorous light. Glad we agree on that, brotha.
Can't wait to see how Flyer spins that reply into something positive for her and the Bubbleheads.
ETA: Can't...breathe...laughing too hard...Gregg you kill me, you really do:

His answer to Buggy Dee should be framed.
"I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words... How shippery life is now you're in the world...
You can tell everybody this is your ship. It may be quite simple but now that it's done. I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words... How shippery life is now you're in the world..."

LOL, Krusty, LOL
Funny how Krusty is allowed to derail the 'Didn't Love It' thread for Stranger, disagree with lots of people with her 'I know best, I know what the NSGA (nonshippinggeneralaudience)want' anti-skate bullshit... and it's not until some posters start calling her out on her whacked out and unsupported assumptions that the mods swoop in to put the kibosh on it?
Apparently, according to the all-seeing, all-knowing Krystal (aka Krusty the Klown), Sawyer and Kate's getting together ruined the show and drove the General Audience away. Apparently the non-shipping general audience hates Skate and wants Jate. Wrap your head around that illogical statement. *snicker* But Krusty knows best. Let misology reign supreme!!

Sort of. The other half consisted mainly of Sawyer and Kate in their cages "growing closer" as you might say. I would much rather have seen Jack on the screen the whole time instead of the scenes we had to endure such as the "you taste like strawberries," "you taste like fish biscuits" "if you love me you'll run" and Kate confessing her love to Sawyer while he is being beaten endlessly by Pickett. What was the whole point of that anyway? There was none. And then we were subjected to the whole retraction of the I love you, to Kate mentioning "turn around" while she undresses in her cage, only to initiate sex with him the following day. Her actions have left many of the audience confused as to what exactly the writers and the producers are doing.
Now I wonder why Krusty is irritated here? Sawyer & Kate taking too much screen time away from her hero perhaps? Sounds remarkably like each & every SKate scene had Krusty flaking away to a crumble here. Someone please, help her out – tell her to record and fast forward to Jack, JACK, JACK only scenes. Her bubble friends should have suggested that one to her.
Quote:
kate and sawyer were merely there because Jack had led them there with his "plan" and the others wanted them to make jack do the surgery.
Krusty:
The others wanted Sawyer and Kate for an entirely different reason than they wanted Jack. If Jack hadn't of led them there, the others would eventually have come after them anyhow.
That’s right – we forgot, because Jack can do NO wrong, how many times does Krusty have to tell us this? Can’t we get anything through our "online" Skating heads? *rolls eyes* Sawyer and Kate were wanted for an entirely different reason alright – to make sweet SWEET LOVE to keep the rest of the viewing public entertained after so much Jack, JACK, JACK. *snerk*
Quote:
The whole plot revolved around Jack, as it genrally does.
Krusty:
That should make sense, considering Jack is their star.
And don’t you forget it… AGAIN! This show is ALL about Jack, only JACK. A reason for declining ratings perhaps?
Quote:
I have never seen MF in anything other than lost, so I can't comment on his acting abilities outside of the show, so I am going to assume it is the poor writing that has made his character the "hero" who likes to shout alot, cry, and stalk women.
Krusty:
Many people were complaining that they didn't want Jack to be your typical card board cutout "hero." Now that they have given him a dark side, people are still complaining. So which does the audience prefer? They can't have both. Some people have made up their minds that they are not going to like Jack no matter how they write him, which is fine, but it's their loss if they choose to miss out on what this character offers to the show.
I finally agree with Krusty on something – some people will NEVER like Jack, the perfect hero or the yelling, crying, abusive hero – is too late, his character has already been established TOO perfectly for some of us /sarcasm. Also, it's the fact that Jack is portrayed with flaws which never get acknowledged by the other characters on the show. As far as they are concerned he's still the great white frakking hope, everyone owes him even when he screws up, he's always going to be the sacrificial hero who will save the day. When are the writers going to address his flaws and have people call him out on it? When will his mistakes actually have consequences? When will other people's sacrifices and acts of bravery get gratitude or acknowledgement, huh? And I'm not just talking about Sawyer. Kate, Juliet, Alex...all had a hand in the great escape.
Quote:
This flashback was completely unnecessary,
Krusty:
I completely agree.
Wonder of wonders, Krusty actually agrees with a Skater. *eyes popping* This one is for the record books.
Quote:
it revelaed nothing new about Jack's character that we didn't already know in abundance,
Krusty:
Well, it did offer up some new information on him, but unfortunately, the execution on how this information was revealed was poorly done.
The meaning of tattoos to enlighten Krusty to her hero’s perfect status? Perhaps she missed out on that attempt to portray him in that way previously?
Quote:
but I don;t think it's fair to blame kate and sawyer getting together for being the reason the show is being dragged down as you put it, just like it wouldn't be fair for me to say, the complete focus on Jack's character constantly is the sole reason.
Krusty:
I think the statement that I made about them was quite fair. They got together in "I Do" and the ratings took a huge hit when it came back. In my opinion, it's the quality of the show that has steered people away and in this sense, Sawyer and Kate didn't help matters. TPTB made their romance story way too central and it turned a lot of people off.
Krusty is so in touch with what the “general audience” thinks. Where DOES she get her information from? A few friends? A few colleagues/customers? Perhaps these people need to complete a survey in order to interact with this KLOWN?
Quote:
I don;t really think that's a fair point, the massive fanbase these two have would say differently.
Krusty:
The internet is deceiving.
Yes it is, and incomprehensible to one such as yourself, Krusty. Sawyer and Kate are entirely to blame for the ratings drop off… if Krusty was correct and since Sawyer & Kate are doing their angsty act right now, the ratings would be on the rise now then wouldn’t they?? Perhaps someone needs to tell TPTB to try another SKating bunnyhop to boost their figures again? The TIVO most watched figures and media shit gets quoted but according to Krusty it don't count. Hell, fire the ratings people and hire her. She KNOWS, dammit.
Hurry! Lost is over...Let's all go tell Krystal what we thought. Jaaaack! Jaaaaack! JAAAAAACK!!

When Ovaries Explode
You know, I thought today, the day before TTID was gonna be a slow day. I was soooo wrong. Here I was planning to have a blissfully unplanned day of doing nothing. Then the Gregg stuff happens, and Krusty's drivel on the Didn't Like it thread...and I'm taking a leisurely stroll around the net, and what do I find? The Bubbles miss me! They’re all lathered up because it seems I’ve been neglecting them, what with Foxeeeee and the show itself demanding my attention. Never fear, my little Bucket-o-suds. I am nothing, if not devoted to my work. It is your moment to shine Bubbles, beneath the cold, harsh light of reality.
Let’s see what last week's Jackapalooza looked like when viewed from the deck of a sinking ship.
“jack without kate is like a garden without guava”
How many bubbles, do you suppose, could pick a guava out of a fruit salad? See below for a Fruit Quiz to keep us all on our toes. And gee, I don't know a Rose garden without guava? Tough choice there.
“I dreamt that I was in Phuket with Jack and he was gonna get in bed with me... nekkid... and my sister and bro-in-law were suddenly in the bed between us and I was like "AAAAHHHH!!!!" because dude, HE WAS NAKED and I SAW IT and I WANTED HIM and those two f**kers showed up.”
Clearly this is intended to be a dietary aid. You print it out and tape it to your fridge, to be read before every opening. The visual will ruin your appetite and voila you’ll be rail thin before you can say 'Skanky sex is slimming' ten times backwards!
I separated this last part of the quote away from the Bubble low carb diet plan, because it deserves individual attention.
“Damn the universal force that won't even let me get laid in dreams!!!”
This one sentence, perfectly illustrates the average Jater. Sexually repressed and delusional to the point of believing they and their shipping preference are of any consequence to universal forces in any way, shape or form. Overblown egos hmmm?
“I want your babies... I want your babies... I want your babies... Oh, and I never thought I'd want to do this but I had the strong urge to lick his nipple. *blush*”
>>>insert pic of Mr Chimp Chest reclining on the bed ready to receive said nipple assault. How does one find one with all that frakking fur?<<< Excuse me while I pick the chunks of vomit from between my teeth.
“I totally want him and Alex to become friends. Maybe Alex will be in the jungle, crying and worried sick over Carl and Jack will find her. Maybe talk to her? Tell her it's okay? No wait, this is starting to sound like the Jack/Kate scene. Oh well, I'm sure there are a few Alex/Jack shippers out there already.”
If people are shipping Jack and Alex (Jax?), someone should notify Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC so he can investigate it for his next pedophile/stat rape expose`. Ewwwwww. Just Ewwww.
“I haven't even seen this eppy yet, and all the negativity about it has kind of been getting me down, but seriously I'm just gonna watch it and think about the hotness. Pfft! Who needs plot?”
Hmmm, let’s see. The percentage of the viewing public who actually have a brain? I guess that rules out Krusty's Zombie General Audience. How many times have Skaters and Sawyer fans been accused of being hormonal teens who only watch for the HAWTness. Yeah, we get told we're shallow and crass, and lacking in taste or judgment. Hypocritical much?
“Oh my GOD. My ovaries are sprained. BOTH OF THEM.”
Will that keep you from breeding more of your kind? If so, I’m thinking that’s maybe a good thing.*wink*
“I can't actually form coherent thought at the moment. My mind's like agfjksgnkfgjn;sa\.…”
And this is news to you?
“OH GOOD LORD THAT WOMAN DOES NOT DESERVE HIS TONGUE IN HER MOUTH! Ahem, sorry for the capslock but seriously! I'd much rather see his tongue in Evi/Kate's mouth lmao. Or well ya know, mine in a perfect world...OMG and the lip biting! *dies*”
“That woman does not deserve his tongue in her mouth.” I agree. No one does.
“Damn you Bai Ling, Damn you INDEED! Honestly, I truly think, the director and whoever wrote, "What Kate Did" told them to keep the kiss simple. I mean, it might have looked... "off" if Kate just grabbed his face, sucked on his lips and he attacked her with his tongue. I know, I know, who would complain but I don't think it would have really made sense.“
Can it be someone is seeing reason? Kate and Jack is “off” and it makes no sense.
“Why would you show me Bai Ling and Foxy making out? Pretty sure that my eyes actually started to bleed after that scene. *stabs her*
But to fix that, I thought about Kate coming back to the island and sexing up Jack in his new cage and then that turned into some crazy dream that I had that I clearly had to wake up for in the middle of the night and then write a story about it which is now growing into this multi-chaptered monster and I'm scared because I haven't written anything chaptered in years.
*grabs Foxy to make myself feel better*”
Be afraid Foxeeee. Be very afraid.
“That epi so BEAT UP and DESTROYED Sawyer! w00t! And who says Jate isn't fate?! MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Just about everybody else, sweetie. Medic stat, before she crashes!
“I swear, I WANT HIM NOW! Is it possible to just orgasm instantly?!? By George, I think I just did!!!!!!!! *faints*”
Wow. So a Foxeeee “O” leaves you wondering whether or not it happened. I knew there was something deficient looking about him. *chortle*

That last one's pretty hard I know...

Sneak Peek Fun...
Vid thanks to Spunky.
The latest sneak peek for Tricia Tanaka is Dead looks interesting. Guess Sawyer and Kate are SOOOOO over. Kate looks like she's wanting to barf having to touch that scumbag's boot. She's pulling icky faces, feels guilty about sleeping with him, is disgusted and doesn't want anything more to do with him. Riiiight.
I can see the Bubblehead jose-spin now: Kate just wants them to forget the icky skex altogehter and return to being just friends. She wants it to go back to how it was before the captivity, because she regrets it, loves Jack and wants to forget she rutted in a cage with Sawyer.
No. Just no. What's pretty frakking clear is Kate's the one doing the reaching out, making the first move to try and repair their relationship after their moronic argument earlier. She wants them to get over the fight and move forward, not backwards. Look at her expression. Why bother trying to get him to say sorry if she wants things to return to the way they were? This gal still digs her man, but needs him to get off his high horse. It's about the most direct and clear we've seen Kate about what she wants from him. And of course, knowing TPTB, Sawyer's not going to give it to her. He's going to be a stupid frakking idiot and refuse to apologize. Which would explain why she goes off on her own to get Jack without telling him. It also puts the scene with Jin and the three things women want to hear in perspective too.
This is obviously all setting up mucho separation angst and more tension between the emotionally stunted lovebirds Sawyer and Kate. I say bring it on. Some hot reunion make-up sex by May Sweeps, here we come!!!
Some caps, courtesy of Lyly Ford from Lost-Forum:
Yep. The above are the faces of a woman who is feeling deeply guilty about betraying her love Jack, wants to forget that skex ever happened and has no romantic intentions whatsoever towards Sawyer. *rolls eyes* Read more...
Good Riddance!
Worst. Episode. EVAH!
The good, the bad and the ugly of "Stranger In A Strange Land".
I think it's best to change up the order here, because after something this ugly and this bad, I feel so icky, I need a little (and God knows there's only a little) good to help wash away some of the stench.
The Bad -
There is so frakking much to wade through, I'm not sure where to begin. The beginning, I suppose. The kite.
What the Phuket was up with that? Are we expected to believe that after five seconds reflection, SuperJack can assemble angel hair pasta spinal nerves in a single bound, but is stupefied by a plaything managed every day by children the world over? Riiiight. I am loathe to give credit to Jack for anything, but even I wouldn't stoop to questioning his command of simple toys. Maybe his next episode will deal with his tragic inability to make a Slinky walk down stairs?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that in this same episode we discover that a highly respected fertility doctor isn't competent enough to recognize infected stitches. This is intelligence insulting on so many levels I'd crash the server if I tried go into them all.
The glorification of misogynistic Jack. Is there another "hero", lead male character anywhere on television who physically and emotionally abuses women more? If so, he's on some show I don't watch. Watching Jack throw a tiny woman up against a wall then force her to "mark" him, was at best cringeworthy and at least repugnant. How some people can call this heroic is just beyond me.
Oh, and the stalking. We can't forget the stalking, since we saw Jack yet again showing his prowess in that area.
The Ugly -
Another Jackback? Is this some sort of Orwellian punishment of the masses by way of our TV screens? Have we not appeased the island gods enough by tolerating the fact that Jack is on the show at all? Oh, the humanity!
And apparently Saint is not an exalted enough job description for the weeping one. "Although he walks among us, he is not one of us" All righty then, it seems he will soon be elevated to the position of Messiah. Is anybody buying into this? I know there are lots of cults in the USofA, but come on. I wonder if he'll grow a white beard and spit lightening bolts from his fingertips?
Altogether now, can we say, Skank Ho? Holy mother of vestals! Where in the name of Bubbles did they find her? The place where pole dancers go to die? Maybe this episode should have been called "Strange-HER In A Strange Land". I was on line for hours, fighting off crowds of people tainted by that scene, trying to buy antibiotics. I also have it good authority that at least two exorcisms were required by unfortunate viewers desecrated by unclean spirits.
Actually this should technically be the 'meh', but that's not a category in this format so since it was neither particularly good or bad, it lands here. The SkAngst. It was alright, but left something to be desired. Sawyer was rather mean, if overwhelmingly vulnerable and insecure, but his little accusation cut. And cut deep. That was Kate's best hurt face in the history of Lost. It screamed "I can't believe you think so little of me as to think I'd do that", and she withdrew. Which we know is her usual MO. Hurt or anger Kate, she shuts you out. It'll be nice when Kate drops the last shred of her guilt-laced Jack-baggage off in the jungle, so she can get back to Sawyer and they can start hammering out their relationship issues. I'm all for some good Skate angst, but will it ALWAYS have to revolve around Jack?
Methinks not. Enter, Jacket.
The Good -
Yeah, baby! Jacket, Jacket, JACKET. He's literally got her back. Elizabeth Mitchell steals every damn scene she's in, and she makes Foxeeee a better actor, just as Juliet makes Jack bearable...hell, I found myself even LIKING the guy when he oh, so gently (and oh, so UN-Jack-like) asked her "Please. Please do it", sending her for the aloe to tenderly dress her wounds. And the light touching of the fingers? I hesitate to say it - but be still my heart!
A cursory glance around the web reveals Bubbles everywhere donning lifeJACKETs. Gotta give kudos to TPTB for finding EM, and for discovering & rolling with Jacket. It has crushed Jate spectacularly under its wheels, and it's barely even boarding yet!
All ashore who's going ashore!
Life in Fishbiscuitland is good.
