LOSTathon: Season 4

Day 4 = Season 4 LOSTicure

Here is my representation of season 4 of LOST:

Thumb: is for The Oceanic 6, those 6 members (Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun, and Aaron)

Pointer: represents the helicopter (yes, that is what it is!) that the Oceanic 6 are on when the island is moved. The person jumping from the helicopter is Sawyer, which he did to free up weight so the rest of them could make it.

Middle: represents the frozen wheel (with the light emanating from it) that Ben turns to move the island in time and space to keep it from Widmore.

Ring: represents the entrance of Daniel Faraday and those sent by Widmore to find Ben Linus.

Pinkie: represents intersecting lines of Jack's crazy maps as he searches for the island to be able to go back.

Here are the technicals for the mani:

Thumb: Color Club French Tip, Ulta Blue For You, Essence Let's Get Lost, and Essie First Dance.

Pointer: Essie Borrowed & Blue, Essence Romeo, and Wet n Wild Black Creme.

Middle: Essence You Belong to Me, Catrice Lost in Mud, and Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow.

Ring: Essie Borrowed & Blue, Essence Romeo, and Wet n Wild Black Creme.

Pinkie: Color Club French Tip, Essie First Dance, Ulta Blue For You, Essence Romeo, and Catrice Lost in Mud.

What did I love about this season?

-Introduction of Daniel, Miles, Charlotte, and Frank.

-When Sawyer shows more of his goodness and jumps out of the helicopter in order for the others to be saved! He can be such a good guy! And a big stinker too!

-Sayid and Nadia are finally together! (for a bit)

-Finding out Jack are Claire are related, she is his half-sister!

-Jack's beard! (hahaha!). It led to the name of Jorge Garcia (Hurley) and his girlfriend's podcast Geronimo Jack's Beard

-Charlie's back! Well, only has visions that Hurley can see, but he's back!

What did I hate about this season?

-Michael is back (I really just don't like his character).

-Jack and his issues.

-Hurley in the Santa Rosa Mental Institute. Because he isn't really crazy!

-There are other things that I didn't like about this season, but for the life of me I can't remember! :)

Tune in tomorrow for season 5!

LOSTathon: Season 1

Where were you on September 22, 2004? Me? I was sitting in front of the TV excited for the new JJ Abrams show to start. Who knew it would be such a worldwide phenomenon! From the moment it began with it's soon to be trademark title screen then an opening shot of an eye then to the cries and screams of Shannon and the eerie sound of the plane's engine, you were sucked into the drama that was...is one of the most talked about shows. What show am I describing? Well, LOST of course!

Welcome to the 6 day blog event with 6 other ladies and 6 manicures that make up LOSTathon! I'm sure there's some hidden message in the symbolism of the numbers ;)

 

So begins Day 1 of the LOSTicures (LOST manicures). Day 1 = Season 1.

Here is my representation of season 1 of LOST:

Thumb: represents Oceanic flight 815, this is the fated flight call number of the plane that crashed onto the mysterious island.

Pointer: is the mysterious hatch that Locke and Boone found. The yellow light represents the light coming from the hatch and the end of season 1.

Middle: represents the island itself.

Ring: It's a turnip, because one of my favorite things in this season was Charlie calling Claire's baby Aaron, turniphead because Aaron's head was the shape of a turnip!

Pinkie: represents smoke for the mysterious smoke monster that plagues the crash victims of flight 815.

Here are the technicals for the mani:

Thumb: Color Club French Tip, Ulta Blue For You, Essence Let's Get Lost, and Essie First Date.
Pointer: Joe Fresh Moss, China Glaze Concrete Catwalk, and Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow.
Middle: Essie Borrowed & Blue, Sally Hansen Deep Blue Sea, China Glaze Trendsetter, Essence The Dawn is Broken (over Trendsetter), Sally Hansen Coco A-Go-Go, Kleancolors Metallic Green, and Salon Express plate SE18.
Ring: OPI Wooden Shoe Like to Know?, OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?, OPI Planks A Lot, and Joe Fresh Moss.
Pinkie: China Glaze Smoke and Ashes.

What did I love about this season?

-I loved that one of the pilots was a staple JJ Abrams actor: Greg Grunberg.

-I loved the scene of Charlie and Claire "eating" peanut butter.

-I loved the mystery and the what the crap just happenedness of the whole concept of this show (dude? a polar bear?).

What did I hate about this season?

-Rousseau, she's crazy!

-Ethan for hurting Charlie (and I can't say the name Charlie without hearing Claire say it!)

-That nothing was ever solved (this might be a common thing about this show), it was a wrinkle show. This means that when I watch the show my forehead wrinkles and I go huh? Such an interesting concept for a show, with you flashbacks (soon to be flash forwards and even flash sidways!)

Locke belongs in neither category. For as much as I love Locke (and his orange peel smile) there were just some moments in this season (and all seasons) that I wanted to punch him! :)

The season made me wanting more from this show and I was excited for season 2! As I hope you are too! Tune in tomorrow for the next season!
