geebsJust have Sci Fi's 1am syndicated Lost ep in the background while paging through MoEP:I. Its the ep when Juliet first joins up with the Losties. There's a line in her flashback, when she finds out her sister's cancer has come back three months before she's to come to term. Ben tells her Jacob is taking care of it personally. Now, given what we saw in the finale with Jacob actually venturing to the real world every so often, was it he who cured her (given Rachel was okay at the end of the episode)? On the one hand, Ben is an effin' liar who'll say anything to manipulate someone into doing what he wants. And its not like he and Jacob were all that close. While he supposedly was getting notes from I assume Richard telling him what Jacob wants him to do, I'm convinced half the time he was invoking Jacob's name to advance his own agenda.
But Rachel was healed. Of course, Ben could've just made the whole thing up and use it to strong arm Juliet into staying since he promised she would be cured if she stayed on the island a little bit longer to figure out the whole dying preggers women thing. They said it would only be a 6 month thing, and they need to do something to convince her to stay.
Watching these old eps, it is amusing that Sawyer first called for Sayid to torture the truth out of her when she first tried to defect, given they ended up together.
As for the MoeP:I, I dunno if its just that the authors thought about it more, but it seems like the Yozi are more focused and have specific plans and goals in mind than any of the individual Deathlords. Indeed, it seemed like only the Silver Prince had anything as far reaching and well thought out as the Yozi.
I'm actually surprised that things are fairly neutral between the Deathlords and Yozi. Part of it is prolly because The Ebon Dragon is wise enough to know and convince his brethren that they should stay on good terms with the Neverborn. but given all the machinations the various Deathlords and Yozi have going on at Creation at any one time, its surprising they don't step on each other's toes more often.
Or that they don't work together more often. I guess Cecelyne does have ideas of forming an temporary alliance with the First and Forsaken Lion for her campaign against the South. But She Who Lives In Her Name (what is with these names?) seems to only be keeping an eye on the Silver Prince, trying to figure out his devious plan and what it could mean for the Yozi's own plan. He does have the odds on being the Deathlord most likely to succeed, as his huge and secret Soul Steel battle fleet will be cause for much alarm in Creation once it takes flight. Though I guess if the Deathlords and Yozi do ally, they could prolly accomplish the destruction of Creation as it is way faster, though it would then turn into a who can backstab who first contest. And that's not even just between the Deathlords and Yozi, each group would prolly also be busy backstabbing each other!
Do you know what's playing too much on TV right now? Not, not the Royal Pains pilot, even though I've ended up seeing it about 5 times already just leaving the TV on in the background. That commercial for TV Land's "She's Got the Look" reality show.
I've got Diana Ross' "I'm Coming Out" earwigged right now. No, I'm not secretly a poofster. Its because of that damn commercial! (I dunno if the co-workers have started noticing me unintentionally singing along whenever it comes on) I swear if I see that one queenie guy throw his clipboard down in surprise that that one contestant is 72 one more time, I'll go gnuts. Although that lady does look friggin' incredible for 72! I suck at telling ages, but if you asked me, I woulda said she was in her 50s.
