alliecat8So, I think this is how it will work for me in S6.
8:00 p.m. Tuesday: I squee, I yell, I cry, I vow never to watch Lost again (I should have put that first, but I always change my mind so it's not important), sometimes I throw things, sometimes I try to stroke Sawyer's hair thru the screen.
9:00 Tuesday: I say, "WTF did I just see/hear? *rewind rewind rewind* *falls to knees and thanks higher power for DVRs*. Rewatches.
9:45 Tuesday: I go to LJ and start reading the reviews of those of you who think/write fast. Some of you say things I never would've thought of, so I print those (I suck at bookmarking). I highlight the thinky stuff and go on to the next review.
11:30 Tuesday: I've stayed up to hear from the West Coasters, and I can't read another word. I mean, I've worked HARD, man! Printing, underlining, deciding what is relevant and what is not...*goes to sleep, dreams of Sawyer's hair*
7:00 a.m. Wednesday: "WTF WAS that last night? Maybe breakfast/caffeine will help!" *tries that* "Nope." *rewatches* *TAKES NOTES* (That's where I try to cull out the things I didn't see in the reviews the night before.)
*does RL shit that, unfortunately has to be done because the Real World doesn't seem to understand that Lost is a full-time job*
10:30 a.m. Wednesday: Returns to LJ and reads more reviews, prints out more stuff and abuses the highlighter some more.
Noon Wednesday: "I'm sick of this sh*t. I'm gonna go make comments/catch up on replies to my pre-Tuesday posts/write down all my plot bunnies generated since Tuesday/catch up on email (yeah, I fail this week. I'll get there soon -- *hearts!*)/work on my comms/look up stuff in lostpedia I'm not sure of from the show (like Ilana's friends' name...using that example so as not to spoil)/ and as a last resort (which is actually usually my first resort 'cause I have no self-control), SPAM LJ WITH RANDOM SHIT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LOST...damn that feels good, lets off all the tension...then answer all the comments to all my spam that has nothing to do with Lost.
This takes all day Wednesday.
Thursday 7:00 a.m.: "OMG I HAVE to write my Lost review or I'll be the LAST ONE and nobody but Megan will read it. ('cause I tell her to, heh) So I go thru my own notes, then go thru all the posts/comments I've printed out, and try to write something that is different from what's already been said, makes a little sense but is also bizarre, for this is Lost; is funny or at least ironic in parts, is as positive as it can possibly be, *thinks about whole flist and adjusts certain phrases so as not to piss anyone off*, proofreads, WHEW, the END.
This apparently takes until 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Or so I learned this week. So, does anybody read Friday reviews? I'm not trolling for reviews, I just don't wanna do all that ^^^ if we're so sick of reviews by now that we won't read. I, myself, am pretty sick of reviews, especially my own.
I wanna contribute/babble, too, but it seems I fail so should I call it a lose/lose and just read yours? I think it can be done. *shuts mouth...I mean, *sits on hands*
STILL...
IS IT NEXT TUESDAY YET?

k, it's almost time. I was going to resist silly commercial talk, but since you asked...
