Faraday inspires me...unfortunately

5.03 "Jughead"

I told myself (and someone I'll refer to as "Karl") that I was going to write a sonnet about this episode, and Faraday in particular, so then I felt compelled to actually do it. It didn't go so well. Behold:

Daniel asked Desmond to go to Oxford
To save himself, some Losties, and Charlotte
Trapped in time as it skips like a record
They need an escape before they get caught

Desmond finds Daniel's ex-love Teresa
On life support provided by Widmore
Living old mem'ries while in a coma
But not the woman Desmond's looking for

Daniel, Juliet, Miles, Charlotte, Sawyer
And Locke all meet with old time-y Others
Daniel talks hydrogen bombs with Alpert
And reveals to Charlotte that he loves her

He finds a gun toting girl named Ellie
Who could be his mom when she was twenty

Leave it to me to turn a poem about an awesome character on Lost into something boring and tedious (and also to completely ignore iambic pentameter). I think I'm going to have to abandon my "creative" efforts to pay homage to the show. Or at least limit my efforts to prose.
