Back, safe and sound, if very exhausted and trying to stay awake so my time zone readjustment happens quickly. I hear the Emmys weren't all that this year, but otoh I also hear Terry O'Quinn won best supporting actor, which makes me very happy, Locke fangirl that I am. According to this he took the occasion to fanboy Michael Emerson (calling him "glorious"), who plays Ben, which confirms to me - bear with me, this is the way my tired brain works - that Locke/Island/Ben is the TRUE love triangle/OT3 which the show should focus on, instead of the various geometric forms featuring Jack Shephard.

So. Much. WORD!

Honestly, Jack bores me to tears. The most interesting thing I've seen regarding Jack was what I realized at the end of the season finale, and that was more 'oh cool what a neat storytelling twist' than anything to do with the character! :D

The finale, and the concept was the first time I actually did find Jack interesting, but I don't know whether it will last - as far as Jack is concerned, not as far as the concept is concerned, which is a terrific twist - in the new season. Still, as you say, more about the neat storytelling than about any previous Jack stuff.

Meanwhile, I did love all the Locke-centric episodes of last season that I saw, and all the scenes with him and Ben were fascinating, so here's hoping the Emmy win will mean more that...
