Lost

[oceana]

You know I can't live without a new fandom every couple of weeks months, and I was really looking forward to making "Lost" my next new conquest.



I have now watched five episodes. I think the chance that 47 people would get stuck on an island and not be found within, say, a week, is rather silly, but I'm willing to buy it. How else would you justify putting them in that position? Besides, my first fandom love had vampires, so I shouldn't complain about plausibility.

I haven't fallen in love with a character yet. I'm not even very interested in them.
I think that Kate is ridiculously pretty.
And I'd probably fall for her if she really were a bad girl, but hey, she didn't even kill the cop. So not buying the story about her being dangerous.

Charlie is harmless, but I'm not a hobbitgirl, and I really couldn't care less about him and his addiction.

I hope they decide to eat Hurley soon. If he says "Dude" one more time I'm going to fly over and kill him myself.

I'm not very interested in the whole father/son issue between Michael and Walt and I worry about the dog way too much to be able to concentrate on their problems. Poor dog.
Sawyer's attempts to be the bad guy make me laugh out loud. He practically screams "I need love!", "I was negelcted as as child!", and if "I" think that, I don't even want to know what the fiction about him is like. He's really rather pathetic.

Sayid, who seems to be rather popular in fandom, if what I've seen is right, could be interesting. If he could please stop being good. Please.

I like Locke. He's ambigious enough to convince me, and he was on NCIS. Okay, that's not a real reason, but he has potential.

Shannon is pretty much the only one who even remotely amuses me at the moment, but she is too superficial to keep me watching.

And then there is Jack.
I'm sorry, but I have to tell you that I really hate Jack.
I really really hate Jack.
Oh, I'm all for the heroes, have always been. I even like Dylan. But Jack?
See, my love for Dylan I can justify, because I really want to see him fail. With Jack that doesn't work, because even when he fucks up he does it perfectly, the poor little son who could never satisfy his father and then lost him before they could reconcile, the reluctant saviour who can't handle that everyone expects him to be the leader, but still excels in the role he was pushed into.
I don't want to see him fail, and I certainly don't want to see him being even more of a hero. I want to shoot him and leave the rest of the people to deal with all the bad things themselves.
I hate Jack.



So, as you can see, not much love between me and Lost.
I think I'll keep watching though until I've seen all the eps. There aren't that many yet, and I have this ridiculously fast internet connection over here, so I might as well watch them while I can.
But I won't keep them.
And unless there is a large amount of good Locke fic out there, I won't start reading in that fandom any time soon.
