Good point, DEFAULT TEXT. I watched it thinking his name feels sort of irrelevant, has been for awhile, and I was afraid there would be some big dramatic announcement that left everybody going "meh." But yeah, I guess that could be the whole point. Especially since this show is very careful about naming people -…

To be fair, that applies to every single baby ever born in the history of movies and television. Not the nourishment part though. Let's pretend she milked a boar or something.

I barely noticed after awhile. It seems irrelevant.

Yeah, seems silly now to do anything but sit back and go "huh? or "cool!" as you see fit. I liked this as a standalone short story, so the silliness didn't bother me much. Would have been more effective without those flashbacks at the end though. Have you been to the Internet, Lost? We remember the skeletons, sheesh.

We still don't know where the island actually was. It could have been in the Mediterranean back then, no fancyass boats needed.

Glowy Cave
I thought the "fate worse than death" that Jacob would get if he jumped into Glowy Cave Of Mysterious Mystery would turn out to be immortality. I guess it still could - looks like that's what it did to Silas Adams, in a nasty way - maybe it does different things to different people, and he jumped in…

Grumble Grumble.

Yeah, I don't know. Drugs something something? I've heard conflicting theories about who they're based on, so I keep waiting for some kind of shit to hit some kind of fan.

I realize in retrospect that my avatar may betray some pro-Betty bias, but it's obvious that pretty much everybody has some of that.

Awesome
Betty White's always been sort of a cheeky gal. She's not a child or a simpleton for fucksakes, she's an intelligent adult person, so it's kind of ridiculous and patronizing to assume they can trot her out and make her do whatever they say (addressing some sentiment in the comments, not the review itself).…

Yes, placeholder please. In fact, do it from here on out!

The omission of the words "Dan Dority" from this review suggests you haven't seen Deadwood, which would just be silly. It's a big old Deadwood reunion up in this piece! I would like that to continue please.

When Annie was introduced I was like oh, I know this actress, I like her. But Mr. HeadWendy said no, you know her because she's an actual street musician. And I called him out to check imdb, and sure enough, her resume is all Treme all the time. Go figure. Also, good story.

I thought the exact same thing. She was way more Canadian than I expected.

But…
This was just a really fun episode, one of my favorites in awhile. But…does this mean no more Awesome? Would they really send him to Africa like that? I would miss him.

I love John Goodman in this thing. I think it was "my daughter said asshole on the internet and now this 40-year-old unemployed pothead hipster is sitting too close to her and taking this piano lesson way too seriously" kind of thing. The right word was "bemused," I think. In my experience, he hasn't done anything…

Also the Who Dat and Tiger Tators LSU Zapp's (from the pilot I think). Mmm, seasonal Zapp's.

Stuff happening is a totally overrated criterion for awesomeness.

Little from Column A, little from Column B? The performance itself is growing on me though, in a cartoony kind of way.

Siobhan
Siobhan. I'm perplexed. I haven't ever thought "what an awesome performance!" but she's so earnest and weird that I want to like her anyway. And once again tonight I barely remember what she did, except I remember thinking that she looked exactly like Anna Paquin in a Church Lady wig.
