Reminded today in a somewhat headache inducing manner at work, and an rather entertaining/fascinating one online, that no matter what happens in my life, no matter what I do, one thing will always remain a constant - people will interpret things (regardless of what it is - it could a pattern on a wall or a stain) vastly differently. And they will all be convinced that their interpretation is of course the correct one, the best one, the most accurate, the logical one, no matter what. That there isn't another interpretation. OR if there is - will be bewildered that anyone could interpret this differently. (At work - I had not one but three frustrating arguments regarding this issue - I'd go into more detail, but really rather not.)
Watching Chuck in the background. And have come to the conclusion that Mark A. Shepard has allowed himself to be typecast - to such a degree that whenever he shows up, I know what character he is playing - purely by sight. Oh, it's Mark A Shepard? He must be playing the snarky villian character or antagonist. Yep. I gotta give James Marsters credit - he could have done the same thing, but hasn't. He's actually played a far broader range.
[ETA: You know - The problem with LOST is it has gotten so convoluted in its plotting with the whole time traveling bit and the vast ensemble cast - that writing posts about it to discuss, can feel a bit like writing a logic game. Not helped by the fact that people insist on using their own terminology to discuss certain aspects of it. Head-ach inducing. Hee, the audience gets "lost" and confused discussing LOST, something tells me that's not coincidental, albeit at times alienating - if you aren't maschositic like me.]
Regarding Lost -I have to admit that last night's episode bored me, although there were a few interesting plot bits. Once again, it felt like I was watching the characters chase their own tails. So not only boring, somewhat frustrating. ( cut for spoilers )
