Alright, well [livejournal.com profile] daybreak777  inspired me to try liveblogging again, so here we go!

Previously on Lost: Everyone goes to the hospital!

"This may be hard for you to believe, Jack, but all I've ever been interested in is helping you."
It is hard to believe.

Hey, Sun and Locke are like ambulance buddies.  Maybe Ben and JIn will hang out in the waiting room together.

Re: Claire and Jack.  This family reunion is super awkward.  I don't remember when they respectively found out about their shared parentage (because...Jack didn't know Aaron was his nephew, did he?  Back in...2 seasons ago or something)

"You decided the moment you let him talk to you."  It does seem to come down to what whatshisface Temple Dude said.  Oh Sayid, if you'd only stabbed him a minute earlier.

"Who the hell's Anakin?"  You serious, Sawyer?  You live under a rock?  This is like in Big Bang Theory when Penny didn't know who the X-Men were.  You don't have to be a nerd to know some of these things.

Hurley (to Claire): You look great!  (with your squirrel hair)

Ooh, I forgot about Cop!Sawyer!  Is he gonna show up to the hospital too?  Right, and Charlotte speaks Korean so maybe she'll get there too.

Poor Sayid.  He's just misunderstood.

Hey Desmond, how you doing?  You know, that well seemed deeper last week.

"What will you tell her?'  OH SNAP deep emotional moment.

Ohh those wet jeans are gonna be so unpleasant.  Shoulda dressed for a swim, you two!

I feel sorry for Claire and all, but seriously woman, you left your baby in the middle of the jungle.  You might not want to point fingers when it comes to abandonment.

Real subtle guys.  Running off into the jungle like that.  Real subtle.

Oh, are we finally gonna find out who mini!Jack's mom is?  Or not.  Hello Ilana.  Looks like we've got another family reunion coming right up.

Jack/Kate/Sawyer...*yawn*  I've actually been enjoying all three of them individually this season (yes, even Jack!  And Kate!  No one is more shocked than I), but they become exponentially less interesting the closer they are to each other.

Jin you better not be lying about the baby being okay.

OMGJINYAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Hey, she remembered her English.

Ouch.  Man, did they just blow up all of the extras...and still miss Locke?

Huh.


And now, a meme.  Just because.  I spent a ridiculous amount of time on this.  Snagged from [livejournal.com profile] queenofthorns .

Pick 15 of your ships and write down a quote for each of them. Let your f-list guess. Looking them up on IMDb or Google is cheating. I only did 10 because I'm lazy and couldn't be bothered finding quotes for five more.  Also, I didn't check all of these with transcripts, so there might be a few mistakes.

Quote #1
A: I thought you were dead.
B: Well, I thought you were in hack.
A: It’s good to be wrong.
B: You should be used to it.
A: Everyone has a skill.

Kara/Lee, obviously, guessed by everybody (but [livejournal.com profile] queenofthorns  first)

Quote #2
A: You can’t ever put things back the way they were.
B: Are you okay?
A: I’m sorry, it’s just…You know, it takes time. You can’t just have coffee and expect—
B: I know.
A: There's just so much to work through. Trust has to be built again, on both sides. You have to learn if…if we're even the same people we were, if you can fit in each others' lives. It’s a long, important process…and can we just skip it? Can you just be kissing me now?

Willow/Tara, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] stripes13 

Quote #3
A: Thought you wanted to spend some time off-ship this visit.
B: Seems like out there it’s all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code’s easier, and I know all the steps.
A: I’d say you do, at that.
B: Don’t fall asleep now! Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone.

Zoe/Wash, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] stripes13  and [livejournal.com profile] olaf47 

Quote #4
A: We're not friends. We never were. And I can fool [name], and I can fool my friends, but I can't fool myself. Or [other name], for some reason. What I want from you I can never have. You don't need me to take care of you anymore. So I'm gonna go.
B: I don't accept that.
A: You have to.
B: How can.... There's gotta be some way we can still see each other.
A: There is: tell me that you don't love me.

(oh god, everything from them is such angstcakes)
Buffy/Angel, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] queenofthorns 

Quote #5  (ETA: I realized I had left out a crucial part of this--fixed now!)
A: Your ass is ringing.
B: My ass rings a lot.
A: You ever think about setting it on vibrate?
B: I'm not sure I'm comfortable enough with my manhood for that.  Here, it's on the house.
A: Right on.  So why do you have an ass if you don’t answer it?
B: Well, I used to answer it.  I just haven't answered it since I got married. And that was like, six days ago.

Jaye/Eric, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] ivanolix 

Quote #6
A: Don’t say a word. I don’t want to have to convince you. I just want you to show up. I’m gonna kiss you now, if that’s okay.

Chuck/Sarah, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] rdave1 

Quote #7  (This is not exactly from the characters’ canon…but a million points to anyone who guesses it.)

"With whom have you been kissing?" [A] demands. "I want to know. You're really -- very -- more than decent, but I would have thought you'd be all wiggling lips and -- maybe it's just because you're -- well, you -- "

"You just said 'with whom,'" [B] babbles inanely. "That's really, that's very -- especially because actually 'to kiss' is a transitive verb so you don't even need the preposition, you might have just said, whom, either way, I haven't, so it's -- "

"[B]," [A] says, breathlessly. "[B], you taste like puke, but the thing is, I want to kiss you anyway. I have to actively, you know, stop myself, because it is nice but you do taste like stomach acid and I can't, I can't, you know, really, no matter how nice it is, that is completely vile, you know."

Quote #8
A: I'll be looking for you, [name], every moment, every single moment. And when we do find each other again, we'll cling together so tight that nothing and no one'll ever tear us apart. Every atom of me and every atom of you... We'll live in birds and flowers and dragonflies and pin trees and in clouds and in those little specks of light you see floating in sunbeams... And when they use our atoms to make new lives, they won't just be able to take one, they'll have to take two, one of you and one of me, we'll be joined so tight.

Lyra/Will, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] stripes13 

Quote #9
A: I trust him ‘cause he’s like you, except with dating and dancing… What?
B: You just assume that I’m…
A: What?
B: You just assume that I don’t…dance.

Rose/Nine, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] stripes13  (again!)

Quote #10
A: I thought our story was epic, you know? You and me.
B: Epic how?
A: Spanning years and continents. Lives ruined, blood shed, epic. But summer’s almost here, and we won’t see each other at all. Then you’ll leave town. Then it’s over.
B: [name]
A: I’m sorry about last summer. You know, if I could do it over…
B: Come on, ruined lives? Bloodshed? You really think a relationship should be that hard?
A: No one writes songs about the ones that come easy.

I only skimmed this entry cause I have no time, but I *just* watched the episode from Quote 3. I haven't seen the whole show yet, so no spoilers, but it was a good one!

#1 is Kara and Lee in the miniseries of BSG :D WHEEEE! (Not that I basically don't have that MEMORIZED! #4 is Buffy and Angel.

(And I'm pretty sure #3 is from "Firefly" but I can't figure out who the two characters are!)

Right on all three counts (though, yes, the characters for #3 are still unnamed). I thought about trying to find a less obvious quote for #1...but really, what was the point?

LOL at that b/c it's so true. Are we really that obsessed...to know all their lines by heart? (NM, don't answer that, I think it's rhetorical.) :D

#3 is Zoe and Wash

#8 is Lyra and Will from Pullman's "His Dark Materials" <3

#9 #10 (oops) is Veronica and Logan (I think)

Last Edit (I swear!!): I just watched the quote from #9.....ironically enough, it's Nine and Rose (on Captain Jack)

Correct on all counts! The Lyra and Will quote marks the very first work of fiction that ever made me cry (now I cry for everything--damn you Amber Spyglass!).

And "The Doctor Dances" is one of my favorite episodes of season 1 (which is also my favorite season).

I sobbed for hours after finishing that book!! It's such a heartbreaking ending, and I have a hard time reading it now because of that *sniff* I'm getting teary just thinking about it.

Dude, I am shipping Nine/Rose so hard right now!!

I might have to snerch this ;P

From: [identity profile] shah-of-blah.livejournal.com
Me too! I cry every time I read the book. And listen to it on audiobook...and when I went to see the play in London...

Nine/Rose are super awesome. Also, I totally didn't notice that I had listed that quote as #9...

And you're right about #2!

I'm going to have to read #8 now. It's a good quote and you and stripes do a great job of advertising it as glorious reading for an angst whore such as myself!

From: [identity profile] shah-of-blah.livejournal.com
Oh, you definitely should! His Dark Materials is pretty much my favorite series in all of ever. And the protagonist, Lyra, is one of my favorite characters. I first read the books when I was little, and I've read them so many times; they never get old.

Date: 2010-04-22 03:49 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] stripes13.livejournal.com
It is such a moving series, and will always be one of my favorites (you MUST start from the beginning). It's epic in a way that we all know and love, spanning across worlds that are nearly the same as ours and others that are vastly different. There is a betrayal that is more startling than any other I've read, and a love story that is woven throughout the last two books.

I can get through the first two books in days, but every time I go to crack open the third, it takes me weeks and weeks to build up the courage to have my heart ripped out one more time.

And did we mention that there are Dragonfly-horses and talking animals (sort of).

Whatever you do...DO NOT SEE THE MOVIE!!! the chronology is screwed with, and the look of one of the most important characters it all wrong..

Wow, I am so very curious about all the quotes I didn't know! Other than the Kara/Lee quote I only knew one: #10 is Logan/Veronica. Love love LOVE that scene!

From: [identity profile] shah-of-blah.livejournal.com
#10 is Logan/Veronica. Love love LOVE that scene!
Such an amazing scene! Definitely epic.

And let's see, so far...2, 5, 6, and 7 are still unknown. Although I don't really expect anyone to get #7.

Personally, I think "Your ass is ringing" is one of the best beginnings of a relationship in all of television. Or maybe that's just me.

Jack/Kate/Sawyer...*yawn* I've actually been enjoying all three of them individually this season (yes, even Jack! And Kate! No one is more shocked than I), but they become exponentially less interesting the closer they are to each other.

THIS! THAT'S IT! It's like a mathematical equation! And yes, I've surprised myself by enjoying all three of these characters for most of the season.

YAY! Liveblogging!

I don't remember when they respectively found out about their shared parentage
I forget when Jack found out. But I think he knew at some point. Claire was hanging out with not!Locke!Christian so that's how she knows. I'm sure Not!Locke told her a lot.

This is like in Big Bang Theory when Penny didn't know who the X-Men were. You don't have to be a nerd to know some of these things.
Hee! True. They make Penny seem almost dumb sometimes and I do not like that, though I enjoy BBT. But I also know people, people on LiveJournal who have never seen a Star Wars film. Too young. How crazy is that? How do you not know who Darth Vader is?!! But I digress. :-)

Both Claires need a hair wash and hair cut. Somebody help them!!

Poor Sayid. He's just misunderstood.
My poor baby. *pets*

Ohh those wet jeans are gonna be so unpleasant. Shoulda dressed for a swim, you two!
How did Jack keep his backpack on while swimming? Those things are sometimes hard to keep on while walking.

I feel sorry for Claire and all, but seriously woman, you left your baby in the middle of the jungle.
We don't really know what happened, though. She disappeared and Aaron was alone. I always felt like someone took Claire. I don't think she would have willingly parted from her baby.

Hey, she remembered her English.
Cured by the power of lurve. :-) Though seriously, they both know Korean and it's their native language. In RL they would have spoken Korean. That English was for us.

Man, did they just blow up all of the extras...and still miss Locke?
Did they? I'll have to watch that again. :-)

Yay, live blogging! I don't like Sawyer, Jack and Kate any better or worse than before. I like Sideways!Sawyer and have to keep myself from shipping him with Miles. I like Jack's son. That's about it. I miss Juliet a little. Something about the way she called Sawyer 'James'. But she's on V now so what can you do?

Ships
1 - Kara/Lee. Everyone knows that. :-)
4 - This is the only other one I even vaguely know. But I can't put my finger on it. (Just read the comments, Buffy and Angel, of course!)
8 - Wow! I want to know these people! (It's a novel? Really?)

*g*

Whaaaaaat how is that possible? I do not understand. I mean, sure, the original trilogy came out long before I was born, but my sister and I were practically raised on those movies. And that was before the new ones. Next we'll have people who don't know that Harry Potter is from books.

We don't really know what happened, though. She disappeared and Aaron was alone. I always felt like someone took Claire. I don't think she would have willingly parted from her baby.
True. Although didn't we see her walking off with not!Christian? I don't remember these things.

Though seriously, they both know Korean and it's their native language. In RL they would have spoken Korean. That English was for us.
Yeah, that was a little silly.

Did they? I'll have to watch that again. :-)
Maybe not...but there was a big explosion, and we only saw Locke and Jack afterwards. But was Sayid with them? I didn't see him.

8 - Wow! I want to know these people! (It's a novel? Really?)
It's from The Amber Spyglass, the last book of His Dark Materials. Oh, Lyra/Will...so awesome. Actually, now that I think about, they're kinda like 13-year-old literary versions of Kara and Lee.

From: [identity profile] daybreak777.livejournal.com
Whaaaaaat how is that possible?
Shah, I do not know! Maybe no interest in sci-fi? But then how did one watch BSG? I don't know. I guess BSG was sort of a crossover science fiction show. But really, I DO NOT KNOW. The day I say, "I am your father" in that voice and no one knows what I'm talking about I know I will be officially old.

I don't remember these things.
Because they really haven't given us much information on Claire's disappearance. She was gone and then appeared with not!Locke!Christian. No explanation how Aaron ended up in the forest alone. So it's not our fault if we can't remember when they never told us. But they'd better!

I may have to check out that novel even though I'm not much for fantasy or sci-fi novels. But they seem like a compelling ship. And they were 13? Wow!

Well, 13 by the end. I think Lyra's 11 or 12 in the first book. It's been a few years since my last re-read...but I love those books so much. And, I dunno, they're not really hard fantasy. I mean, there's witches and other worlds (LOTS of other worlds) but it's not like people with funny names riding around on dragons all the time. It's actually kind of an atheist (but still very spiritual) version of Paradise Lost...only for young adults. But it's also an adventure story and a love story and a growing up story.

TOTALLY.

I like young adult novels. :-) And this one seems well-written. Will reserve at the library!

ETA: I did get this book at the library yesterday. :-) I see it is a continuation from The Golden Compass? I read the Golden Compass years and years ago. I didn't know it as the 'Dark Materials' series then. It was okay. A bit hard for me to get into (it's sci-fi/fantasy to me) but I finished it. I didn't have any desire to read more then, though and I don't remember much. (This was maybe ten years ago?). Since I'm skipping the second book, will The Amber Spyglass make sense? I'm only reading for the shippage!

I don't think it will. You may not remember, but The Golden Compass is about Lyra, and Will is not introduced until the second book (The Subtle Knife), plus major plot developments. And it is quite plotty, so...you wouldn't know who Will is, or what the subtle knife is, or what Lord Asriel is doing...I'd suggest giving The Subtle Knife a try. If it's not for you, then it's not for you, but better that than jumping in with book three.

Oh noes! I forgot the ways of YA series even though I say I cut my reading teeth on them as a young girl. So complicated and intertwined. Well, I have the Amber Spyglass already and a plane ride coming shortly. I might give it a try anyway. I am crazy! And curious. :-)

Eep! Well, maybe wikipedia can help you. Fill in the blanks, you know. But shortlist on Will: he's 12, from our world. He grew up taking care of his mentally ill mother, and in the beginning of the second book kind of accidentally kills this man. Then he ends up on the run, finds a window into another world--where he meets Lyra, who decides she can trust him because he's a murderer--and also finds something called the subtle knife. It can open and close windows between dimensions. Will also loses two fingers in the fight for the knife. Um, that's the basics.
