Lost (mild spoilers for tonight)

First, where the heck did my header go? Where the heck did that new thing come from? Obviously I haven't been to my journal in far too long...it's making decisions without me now.

Second, I can't talk about that thing that you're all going to be talking about. My feelings are too strong and I don't want to say something ill-advised, so I'll be silent about it.



We've been saying for a long time now that Jack and Sawyer were slowly turning into each other. We haven't seen many obvious examples of that lately, but tonight the hints were everywhere. Sawyer has taken on what should be Jack's role as Claire's protective big brother. (and I love it) He's always wearing a shirt. (I have not-so-much love for that) Jack...let me count the ways. He's running around shirtless and smooth-chested, wearing a towel. (and I love it) He's making out with, and playing house with, Kate. (this is me being silent) And for the first time ever, I heard him say Sawyer's trademark line, "Son of a bitch!" (it was cute) My boys have always been two sides of the same coin, and I like it that that idea might not've been abandoned. It's only a small morsel for my starving slash-muse, but at least it's something.

I debated on whether to answer your question wearing my fandom-cheerleader disguise, or to tell you what I really think. Sadly, the pompoms are in semi-retirement, and I don't think we'll get any truly meaningful scenes between Jack and Sawyer until S6. That said, though, when I retired my cheerleader icon I replaced it with a glass-half-full, and in that respect I think that their relationship will continue to develop while they're apart. Maybe now they've finally hit bottom with the jealousy bs and they can move on from Kate toward understanding and respect. I really, really hope.
