We Live
I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave's a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that's what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it.

Such a good episode, at least because it had so many great individual moments, as these screenshots show: Sawyer and Jack continuing to switch roles, Desmond serenely facing down Sayid, Sun and Jin's reunion (though it was ruined a bit by the nonsense about Sun losing/regaining her English), Smokey admitting he was posing as Christian (handled much better than Michael's on-the-nose exposition about the whispers last week), and the sideways world moving purposefully towards, well, whatever it's heading towards, as the slippage between the two worlds continues to progress as per Desmond's plan. The pieces are obviously coming together; for what, who knows, but it should be an exciting last few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI love how the end game is shaping up to be a chess match, with the rest of the cast as pieces, between Desmond and the Smoke Monster.
Thanks, Ed, for stopping by. I agree with all you said. Part of the reason I don't really want to write many/any more of these things is because I just want to take in the silly plot and not worry about it. Also, what can you really say? Can't keep talking up Terry O'Quinn every episode, can I? I guess I could say something about Desmond's hair, or Claire's wig. Or how that kid who plays Jack's son sounds like a 22 year old, not a 13 year old.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, it looks like we'll get some good killing in the next episode, too!
