Lost

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Ah, Goodwin. Why couldn't you have been the Other that got away, got some redemption, saved Walt and gone back to find the Losters to become part of their little Survivor Party? You were so handsome, like a real Man of Gondor you were. So...so...delicious. Of course, after you came running out of the jungle in your dry clothes, looking all helpful and attractive, I tought, "Audra, my girl, this one's gotta be a bad guy...because YOU like him."

DAMMIT!

So I built my hopes up for a possible reoccurring role on the show as The Other Who Got Away and Then Got Redeemed, and then Ana-Lucia stakes him. As if he were some loser novice vampire in Buffy the Vampire Slayer! How COULD the writers treat my sweet baby Goodwin that way?

He *was* rather sinister and creepy when his secret was found out. He gave me the chills. But still I thought, Flee! FLEE GOODWIN! And live. LIVE FOR ME!!!!! And become a good guy!

But, no. He’s the staked corpse of episodes gone by. I really should have remembered when Ana-Lucia said, “Remember Goodwin?” I really should have remembered.

Ah, next week: Kate kisses Sawyer’s forehead. I’ll never have to hear Shannon’s crying, whining again (accept in flashbacks…no doubt she’ll be wearing a terrible wig). Now if only they’d all vote Charlie off the island, I’ll be pleased. If Locke and Claire get it on, maybe Charlie will simply drown himself, or O.D. on Heroin Mary.

Also next week: Ana-Lucia and Sayid act out a scene from their two-person show, “Desert Storm: The Unhappy Years”. Cause I’m betting cash that she was in Desert Storm, too.
