"alas, earwax"
Xmas was a thing that happened. Which. I don't really want to talk about it. I did get some nice presents, but some unpleasant stuff happened, and it made it a not very nice day. And then parts of today weren't terribly pleasant, either. But, yanno, I guess that's 2016, eh?
So I'm not going to say any more about it.
I hope everyone had a better time than me.

Mum bought me Theatrhythm: Curtain Call for Xmas, and I have been playing it off and on ever since. Though I've learnt that I hold the stylus in a death grip when I press the screen for the green triggers, so I'm going to have to stop doing that, or I will fuck my wrist up again. (Because I gave myself tendinitis back in March, and my wrist hasn't been the same since).
ANYWAY. It's fun! I have played through all my favourite tracks so far. I am doing some of the quests and keep getting hit by expert scores, which I'm no good at. THAT SAID, I did manage to get through a couple of them by the skin of my teeth, so yay?

I got to the end of S1 of Lost! The little montage of everyone boarding the plane in flashback at the end of the last episode almost made me cry, though I seem to be a little emotional at the moment anyway. (None of the other sobby moments got me at all, but I expect that's because I know what's going to happen).
OMG JACK IS SUCH A TOOL WHY DID I LIKE HIM EVER.
Also still puzzling over why I liked Charlie at all. I mean, he's sort of grown on me a bit since the beginning of the series but...blehhh. I love his friendship with Hurley though. In fact, one thing I love is the different friendships people make with each other. I love Michael and Jin's friendship. I like Kate and Sayid's interactions (as, *cough*, previously noted).
I don't know what to make of Locke, though. A comment I read on, I think, TVT said that on rewatching it's obvious that Locke has no idea what he's doing, and is trying to make a personality cult around himself, but I dunno. It's interesting to see that some stuff that comes up in later seasons/the final episode is set down as early as this (for example: Jack and Locke's rivalry, for obvious reasons; all of the stuff with Walt that sadly didn't happen). I did often think the writers were pulling stuff out of their arses (and tbh, they probably were at points), but it's obvious on rewatching that some stuff was worked out pretty early on. Also I suppose it's more obvious when you're not waiting a week between episodes* and years between series.
The Others are a lot less scary on a rewatch, though (sadly).

*That said, I watched up to S3 in batches of five eps a day per season, so wasn't waiting that much between eps, but obviously also not taking note/absorbing stuff *shrugs* Probably because I was too busy flailing at all the reveals.
So I'm not going to say any more about it.
