it's a beautiful new day
My love for Crossings is so incredibly shallow i don't even know where to begin.

-AH! DUDE! S/V kissage in the first seconds of the show! Like... DUDE. I hate feeling left out, not knowing what happened to lead up to that, but...uhm... guh. What was i saying? I already got sick of the whole flashback-at-the-beginning thing when it was overused last season, but hey, any excuse to show Syd and Vaughn makin' out twice in the same episode is FINE BY ME.

-Hehe, evil!Lauren makes me laugh. The evil glances need to be a little more obvious. No, really. She's looking very pretty, though. It must be the Evil. I think i need to say "evil" a few more times.

-Ooh, Vaughn being mean to Syd! Yay! I'm kiiind of glad there was more of that, just because last week when he glanced at Sydney and then looked away i was all "THAT's your idea of being 'cruel'? Way to lay down the law." Anyway, yes. Asshole! woo! They're really hot when they're being all snarky and mean to each other. And then when the plane lurched forward, Syd totally fell right on top of him. I mean, dude. Totally. Heh. Heh heh. Also, they can fly a plane and outmaneuver guided missiles! That's pretty handy. High five!

-Eeee! Jack/Irina instant messaging! Without domo-arigato-mister-roboto!Irina! Yay!

-When Vaughn threw the flare to blow up the plane (woo! 'splosion!) all i could think was "good arm." Well, it's true! He threw it, like, really far!

-Syd bandaging his arm. Sigh. First of all, injury- YES. Second of all, the way he was looking at her- sigh. Dude, you're so not obvious. Except that you ARE. And lastly- "that was for being a jerk on the plane." Hee! I love.

-Isabella Rossellini!! GAAH!! So. awesome.

-Syd telling Vaughn she slept with Will- WHAT THE HELL?? I mean, who DOES that? Granted, i fucking loved Vaughn's reaction- he was so jealous, but then he was all good-natured about it too, and awww, i heart him. But really Syd, way to be TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE. I know she was using it to say to him "see? I'm moving on!", but that was trying a little too hard, like "SEE??? I'M MOVING ON! I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE! kissmenow"

-I love me some Katya. Skewering the guy's hands? GAH! Fucking BADASS! Of course, with shades of Irina stabbing the guy's hand in A Dark Turn. And then Jack kicking some more ass! Wheeee! I LOVE THIS EPISODE!

-American!Sark! Eep! I've never heard David's actual accent before (although i had a dream about it a couple weeks ago... yeah. I know. I'm a weirdo.) so, DUDE! It's so straaange. I loved the whole table face-off thing, cause, yeah, COOL. And, ah, the already-infamous crotch shot. Heh. Syd had a knife to his crotch! That's HILARIOUS!

-Guh. Torture. Beating. Torture. THANK THE TV GODS. Seriously. S/V. Torture. My heart is all a-flutter. Oh angst, how i love thee. And then holding each other! Beaten and chained and HOLDING EACH OTHER! This is my new favorite episode.

-Oh God. Yeah. The scene. Just thinking about it is gutwrenching. So, so sad. SO. SAD. I wish, for once, Syd would let Vaughn get a word in edgewise, because they never let each other explain, like, EVER. And no matter how much their love is pure and unspoken, it would be nice to hear it at least once. But that aside, the look on her face, and the way she wouldn't let him say it was simply painful. "We'll find each other. We always do."- excuse me, i need to pick up the pieces of my SHATTERED HEART. The whispering, and the leaning, and the cheek-kiss, and THEN the kiss- guh. So perfect. And depressing. And pretty. And SAD. I love them so much. Have i mentioned? S/V? ILOVETHEM.

-Aw, the Marshall hug was adoooooorable. A nice happy thing thrown in there with all this terrible angst. Oh, and then Vaughn goes straight back to Lauren. OUCH. Dude. I mean... DUDE. That just hurt. I pretty much knew it would happen, but still. The fact that we know where his heart lies doesn't make that any less painful to see. Well, okay, maybe a tiny bit less painful.

-AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! Jack/Katya!!! AHHHHH!! Yeah, the last scene? Perfection. Yes, i know, it's bad, because Jack+Irina4eva! I saw it coming, too, simply because waaaay back i heard vague allusions to the J/I fandom imploding and made an educated guess. But anyway, even though it's wrong, dude, that kiss was fucking HOT. I mean... guh. The LOOK on Jack's face afterward, and Katya's "too many questions." and walking away and OMG BEST THING EVER. I looooved it. Derevkos cannot resist The Bristow! Ah, so much family fun. Isabella Rossellini can come back ANY time. And if she would bring Lena with her, that'd be fantastic. Because, yeah, love. I SO wanna see this family reunion.

-Oh, now, i cannot leave out mention of the Hotness that is Jack this episode. DUDE. Black turtleneck- YES. Wifebeater- YES. Arms- YES. Make-out action- YES! Damn. Just... damn. AND! The Hotness that is Vaughn! Beat-up, scruffy, dirty, dying, kissing, BEAT-UP! Oh how i love the boys. I love them so very much.

Okay, honestly, i couldn't really tell you what this episode accomplished. And if i weren't a Syd/Vaughn shipper i probably would have been really annoyed. So it's a good thing that's not the case, huh? I was just very, very entertained. And OMG SO MUCH PRETTY. (sunshiney, in the desert, beat-up and windswept? sigh.) Of course, it's pretty strange that there wasn't one mention of the missing two years or Lazarey or anything that was Fully Disclosed, so the only thing that related to last week at all was Lauren being evil. Still. Me. Entertained. Look! Shippiness! *wide eyes* ... Dude, i am EXACTLY what is wrong with this fandom.
