Wow! TV last night actually didn't suck!
Lost
After last night, I feel I no longer have to be embarrassed about the sex dream I had about Locke. (No, I'll save that for the threesome dream I had about Sawyer and Kate.) Basically, Locke's backstory can beat up your backstory, punk. Things I loved:
-The dream.
-Eager little non-cynical!Locke.
-Locke's reaction to his mother's tale of his immaculate conception. Terry O'Quinn did just the tiniest thing with his eyes, but it was awesome.
-Bloody!Boone.
-The shot of Locke getting out of the car where you briefly see the blood leaking through the back of his white shirt.
And of course,Potter's Saywer's glasses. This especially amused me because I had the same exact problem a year ago: reading too much, terrible headaches, whooops! Farsighted. I never thought I'd have something in common with Sawyer. (Except a desire to spend a sordid, passionate evening with Kate, apparently. Yech.)
Big thanks to
foresthouse for the icon, BTW.

Have I mentioned that I looooooove Marshall? After all the stupid Kill Bill previews, last night's episode made me so unexpectedly happy. (I looooooove Drew Goddard, too.) I don't know what earned the bigger squee: Marshall saying, "A spork!" or Jack saying, "A spork?" I'd totally want an icon of that. That is, if I had more than three icon spaces. ::grumble::
Marshall and his spork-defying antics (And the Spanish! And the German! And channelling Jack Bristow!) even managed to get me through the S/V without vomiting. So yay!

So, for those of you who don't know, Tim Daly is my cousin. (Or first cousin once removed. Whatever.) Anyway, I watched this show mostly out of familial loyalty (and yes, there are hours I spent watching The Fugitive remake that I will never get back...), but I actually rather enjoyed it. The director needs to stop thinking weird angles and erratic camera movements make shots look cool, but I was entertained. There was good banter. I likes me some banter.
Now I'm torn between thinking "Go Tim!" and freaking out at the thought of a fandom rising up around a show starring one of my relatives. Because there will be smut. And there will be slash. And I have to see this guy every Christmas.

It's amazing how television has managed to put me off the formerly attractive idea of "soulmates" forever and ever.
