35. I really have never been afraid of a fandom quite like the "Twilight" fandom. Weirded out? Sure. Icked out? Yep. Bored out? Many. But actually afraid that if I said something bad about Bella in the presense of a rabid fan, they'd pull my hair from its roots or scratch my eyes out.
Why are so many girls obsessed with this series?
I am in the middle of reading the first book and Bella is one of the most passive aggressive fictional characters that I have ever read. And she's a good guy. That's what kills me. If she were an anti-hero or an out and out villian, I wouldn't mind. I love messed up characters. I read Palahnuik and Charlie Huston simply because I knew I will get some of the most damaged characters set to print. But, again, Bella, is written to be a white hat. So, what does that say about her fandom?
77. Yeah, bring on the Locke love. He and Ben are the main reasons why I stick with the show. They are the mystery. Weird stuff happens when Locke is around. Strange enough, anyone who is paired with Locke instantly becomes 10x as interesting.
Miles with Jack = dull Miles with Locke = A grenade in the mouth excitement
Sawyer with Kate X Jack = Romantic boredom Sawyer with Locke = Crazy Barracks shootout followed by Smokey cameo.
Hurley with the other survivors = I found a van...wow. Hurley with Locke = I found a cabin that moves on its own and is run by a powerful mysterious force.
See a pattern?
In the end, because he had such a messed up life up to the Island, I hope Locke ends up being the hero of the story. But I've got the feeling that the whole cabin thing with Christian and Ben saying, "You are the chosen one," is a set up for Locke to be a sacrifice of some sort.
