“some of us are meant to be alone”

(via foreveritsyou)

“Of course, if I was one of them - these people that you seem to think are your enemies - what would I do? Well, there’d be no balloon, so I’d draw a map to a real secluded place like a cave or some underbrush - good place for a trap - an ambush. And when your friends got there a bunch of my people would be waiting for them. Then they’d use them to trade for me. I guess it’s a good thing I’m not one of them, huh?”

FAVORITE LOST CAPS (ONE PER EPISODE)  l  6X17 THE END (PART 2) 

This scene means a lot to me. Those who know me know that, so I’ll let talking about Sawyer/Juliet go because I can really talk about them forever. Instead I’ll focus on what I started to when I started this favorite caps meme. After a while I stopped writing the blurbs because I was reiterating the same thing: colors! light! staging! extreme long shot! Look at the technique! Well, yeah, all that applies here except for the color. I did go crazy with the vibrance layer. But back to form. In one of my classes we were discussing the deliberateness of film and how everything you see on your screen is precisely chosen to get the mass effect. Then yesterday I read an article by science fiction writer Philip K. Dick who said some interesting things about the nature of reality and how distorted our visions of reality are especially when we are bombarded by minirealities created in television every single day. Again there was a strong emphasis on the conscious decision of some to present something to others. All of it is in some ways manipulation and we the viewers take in story and everything that comes with it mostly subliminally. The surface of it affects us but not quite as much as we realize. I mention this because Lost has quite a few parallels, some I believe are entirely deliberate and others are just pure dumb luck. This one? It’s not one of them. And I noticed that the second it started to happen because I remember exactly how their scene in LA X affected me. It was dark, bleak and completely devastating. There was blood everywhere and the sadness was so palpable I wanted to cut a bitch - seriously, Darlton, that was rough. It occurred to me even then just how terrible it was they presented the last moments of Sawyer/Juliet as the opposite of what their relationship meant on the show. It was something new and exciting, unexpected but good and unique simply because it was the antithesis to the other quad ships. The physical end in their reality was harsh and everything they were not, what they didn’t deserve. So this scene, just in a technical sense, is magnificent. It is surrounded by light, based entirely on the concept of the island itself. If you turn it off and back on again, the candy just drops right down. They are enlightened in the most random place, by a vending machine, and while everything goes dark around them just as they were surrounded by darkness in the imploded swan, they are surrounded by darkness once again but still lit because of a vending machine. The same words are spoken as well as the same motions. Lost presents one of it’s few concrete parallels and it’s also it’s most stark. The cramped, crowded, dark destroyed hatch against the empty, bright and working machine. It’s amazing.This reality is certainly different but it is tied inexorably to the reality of the island, honoring both the time there and the importance of the sideways world as a concrete reality.

 #okay i know a lot of people don’t like sawyer/juliet because it sort of came out of the blue and it almost seemed like a case of pair-the-spares to make jate happen but HEAR ME OUT GUYS they were so perfect for each other because she gave him a chance at the family and home and stability that he never got to have and what he NEEDED his whole life and he was somebody so stubborn that he wouldn’t let her continue to put up walls and alsdkfjasldkfjalkjsd
