i don't have a lost icon

My university applications are about done, except for the financial aid and bursary applications, which I need my parents' tax statements for. Hopefully I won't change my mind at the last minute. Knowing me, that's kinda impossible. *sighs*

Lost 3.14 - Exposé

BUT THEY'RE NOT DEAD. Oh man. Worst way to die, being buried alive. I was completely horrified when Nikki threw that spider at Paulo, because that was when I realized he wasn't dead. I was wondering why Nikki ended up that way too 'cos Paulo squashed the spider, but I guess Nikki wasn't listening to Artz. The pheromones released when Paulo squashed that spider must have attracted the other spiders. Talk about bad luck.

And "paralyzed"! That was what she said. Damn.

Nice to see Shannon and Boone again, but too little and too hyped up. It fell a little short of expectations. I hardly even saw Boone's face for more than 10 seconds. Although, did they re-film the entire crash scene? The budget would have be large, re-creating that scene and making everyone look the way they did back then. It was very nostalgic though. That was more than 2 years ago (for us). Makes me wanna re-watch the first season 'cos I honestly forgot the stuff. Boone stole the water because? He didn't want people to get too comfortable?

AND SAWYER SHIRTLESS. HI.

But. From the Lost Podcast, "Cuse and Lindelof revealed in the latest podcast: This episode is set to answer a big mythological question. The gay character will appear in "Exposé." Erm, were we watching the same episode? What big mythological question? Oh, I know! The monster is the spider! And Desmond is gay 'cos he's watching Sawyer all the time! Wait, there's Penny. D'oh! Thwarted!

...

Interesting and creepy and cool episode, but it honestly serves only as a filler. Can we go back to The Others' camp now?

Yes, I analyze the number of icons I have. There is nothing wrong with me.

It's great that you've almost finished your application =) When will you find out if you get in?

I have both Lost and FNL downloaded already but I haven't watched them. It feels wrong to watch TV shows when the weather is so nice. Not that I intend to go outside or anything... But I will wait until the evening to watch them.

LOL, I have divided my icon space between my main fandoms so you're not the only one who counts icons ;) I did it months ago because I realized that whenever I became obsessed with a new fandom I deleted too many of my old icons. So now I think I have 20 VM, 20 Sophia/OTH (not that I watch OTH), 30 GA, 23 The Office and then the rest is for random/stock/GG/Heroes/FNL.

Around the end of May. But I applied for Law, which if shortlisted, I would have to go for an interview around end of April.

Late reply, so I sure hope you've seen both Lost and FNL by now. Man, FNL seriously blew me away this week.

Wow. LOL. I should probably get it organized too. =D

Yay about applications! CONGRATS

Hopefully I won't change my mind at the last minute. Knowing me, that's kinda impossible. LOL then you'd be like me and have a nervous breakdown :P

Haha hope that doesnt happen to you.

OMG I did the counting-icons thing too!!! Well I only did it for 2 fandoms cos its not like I have a lotta icons from the others. I counted and I think I had like 32 OTH icons (except then I uploaded more :P) Well I was actually surprised that the most icons I had were of OTH. Haha mm gosh no wonder Im CONSTANTLY

[identity profile] heaven-eyes.livejournal.com 2007-03-29 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
using them! And I have like 28 Spn icons or something. Hee.


p.s. firefox sucks and i accidentally pressed the post comment button hence the split comment! :P

[identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com 2007-04-01 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep! It's over. I kinda did change a little thing in my application, just a slight change of the sequence of choices. Ah well. =P

But I'm happy with my choices. I feel good about it. I made a compromise and my parents are happy and I'm happy with it as well.

YAY OTH ICONS! I need more of those. =)

[identity profile] heaven-eyes.livejournal.com 2007-04-02 10:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh what'd you change?

Well thats really awesome ;)

I know nothing about obsessing over userpics... Absolutely nothing at all. *innocent look*

You NEED some Lost iconage. I have made some, but most of mine are from others. You can check out my user pics if you like, I think I have snagged from some of the better makers I have found in the fandom. If you go to my userpics, they are all like 1/2 way down the page, cause mine are entered alphabetically by fandom... No, I don't obsess in the least.

I was expecting one death, the fact that BOTH of the new useless people bought it was like a special bonus from TPTB. All useless characters should share that fate. Painful/spooky/weird death - even better. Muahahahaha.

DITTO on the Shannon & Boone thing. That was a tease. Honestly, they could have just trimmed them into the episode using old footage from the crash - but I guess both Maggie and Ian were free and wanted to come back to Hawaii. You know, since they really loved it there and the cast. Sorry, I'm just still VERY bitter about both of their deaths. I know, I know. It's been like 2 years for Magically Delicious, but dammit - I DO! *sob*

I enjoyed the Sawyer story line tremedously. I think living with the others has softened him or taught him a lesson. Now, I liked my Sawyer bad - but anytime a character evolves because of reasons we see it can't be a bad thing. Not entirely. Him tossing the diamonds over the grave was a huge character thing for him I think. Maybe he is finally either not thinking they will get off the island or doesn't want to. I mean, this is a man who used to hoard everything not nailed down of any value isn't it? Yes.

I think they green screened her into all of the big action shots and just filmed her direct contact with the other survivors. I would love to see a 'making of' this episode on the DVD though. JJ Abrams did the pilot, and I have seen the behind the scenes on that one. They said they shot TONS more stuff then they ended up using because it was just so expensive to set up that crash scene and stuff. I mean, that stuff with Jack's 'live together/die alone ' speech looked like they just used a different camera angle from the heaps of old footage.

Next weeks looks totally awesome. Chick fight! Woot!

Hee. Good to know I'm not alone. =P

Thanks! I shall go poke around in your userpics.

Guh. I was such a Shannon/Boone lover back then. Their story had such wonderful potential. I'm still bitter too! But it was still wonderful to see them back. I really wish they could still fit into some other backstory somehow. *sighs*

Oh yes, Sawyer is definitely my fave character on that show. At first it was purely *ahem* superficial reasons, but I really grew to love the character. I love his backstory in prison and the daughter storyline. The diamond thing was definitely a wonderful character thing. Even I was thinking, 8 million? Keep it idiots, you might get off the island someday. The world still sucks for the poor out here. But oh well, heh.

Ah, makes sense. Green screen technology nowadays is crazy. But it's definitely nice to revisit those scenes.

[identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com 2007-04-01 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it was so awfully comedic, especially for people like me who had been wanting them gone. Heh.

Yeah, too many fandoms, too little icon space. LOL.

[identity profile] alwaysavingme.livejournal.com 2007-04-01 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I know I wanted them dead.lol

I know. Mannn I'm still so far behind in the icon making.lol

congrats on the application.

on LOST...yes..that scary to be buried alive! :S

[identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com 2007-04-01 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

Yeah, and they didn't even have a coffin, so they were really suffocated by the sand. Yikes!

[identity profile] trystan830.livejournal.com 2007-03-29 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
i know!!! hubby's comment when Lost ended was "ooops"

and Sawyer... my brain turned off....

[identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com 2007-04-01 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha. "Oops" is right. =P

YAY SAWYER. NEED MORE SHIRTLESS SCENES.

[identity profile] trystan830.livejournal.com 2007-04-01 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
heee, yep. :D

oh *guh* my head would explode.

[identity profile] americangrl69.livejournal.com 2007-03-29 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't have any Lost icons either. I used to have a Jate one but I deleted it to make room for a different one.

[identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com 2007-04-03 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
LOL. Yeah, too many fandoms, too little icon space. =)

The pheromones released when Paulo squashed that spider must have attracted the other spiders. Talk about bad luck.


My theory: The Smoke Monster manifested itself as the spiders.

[identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com 2007-04-03 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh. Hee. Good theory. Hey, maybe the Others are the Smoke Monster in disguise too! Okay, probably not. =P

[identity profile] lookat-thestars.livejournal.com 2007-04-03 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You never know with this show, but I think you're right, The Others are real people.

[identity profile] mousewings.livejournal.com 2007-03-29 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
When Arzt mentioned the Medusa effect of the spider, I was like "oh no" since I knew it was foreshadowing for Paulo and Nikki's state. Maybe someone will get greedy and dig up the diamonds. I hope...

I've saved way too many icons. Maybe that's what crashed my mp3 player/storage device.

[identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com 2007-04-03 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
Oh you're smart. It barely registered with me until Nikki took out the spider. =)

I just changed. I have 785 icons saved. =P

[identity profile] beachdrunk.livejournal.com 2007-03-30 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
oooh we have so many fandoms in common i love it :D

[identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com 2007-04-03 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
YAY. =D

[identity profile] sokash.livejournal.com 2007-03-30 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Greaaat you watch The Black Donnellys too ^^

Maybe the gay character is Artz ?! Or not.
And I don't think the monster has a part in the spiders thing. Some guys think they heard the monster in that scene, but they probably thought they heard the monster.

[identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com 2007-04-03 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! It's a good show, too bad the ratings are on a slide.

LOL. I think it was mostly just a filler episode. I really wanna know the truth about the monster though. Either that or give us more revelations about the Others. I hate dragged out mysteries.
