That's sweet. Thanks.

@ Cat Balls,

So far so good, everyone. Good calls with LaFleur, Tricia Tanaka, Man From Tallahassee, Dead is Dead, and The Shape of Things to Come.

In the lead up to the final days, a suggestion for Noel and all who read his posts…
I find myself increasingly nostalgic about the show in the run up to its conclusion. I climbed aboard the narrative train mid-way through S2 after catching up w/ DVDs on S1. One of my favorite eps, the one which buckled my seat belt,…

For a revealing read into the mind of Teflon93, see the back and forth vis a vis global warming, atheism, and conformity in the comments of "Across the Sea."

Thanks for linking to that interview; fascinating.

Good point, Cheese, and everyone who has replied. That kid is terrific, and a perfect compliment to Jack. I don't think he'll inevitably die, but I agree that there's not a happy ending in their collective future as father and son. Can't wait for the reveal of Jack's baby-mamma.

Mr. Cluck's creepy face
I haven't seen any comments on the oddity of the face in the Mr. Cluck's outfit. The inclusion of the unshaven face of an older man, repeatedly, in photos where the face could have been easily blacked out and in others where the face seems to have been photo-shopped in. Seems to pointed to be…

I agree, but I don't think it's going to happen. I've been worried about a DT-like resolution all season; this episode restored my faith that a team of writers won't take the easy way out like SKing.

Eloise could be the *Frank* in my DDarko theory, posted last week. I continue to think that the altverse represents what would happen to our heroes if they were to escape their fate of crashing onto the island. It's not an epilogue per se, nor is it a prologue (like I postulated last week); rather it is what would…

I think that both interpretations are equally viable at this point — my theory as posted, and the "shout out" theory (i.e. that whatever is meant to happen to someone WILL happen regardless of the particular version of his/her life is manifest; IOWs, Mikhail was always meant to lose his eye, Locke was always meant to…

Mikhail's eye wound = Donnie Darko Plot reference?
I want this on the record, though I'm working through my theory as I write.

AV Club grades
Last week when I turned to Noel's review of Dr. Linus, I was surprised by the grade. I thought it was a solid episode, deserving something better than the original B-. I was also somewhat surprised by the community's reaction and grading, elevating the episode to a B+, which seemed to convince Noel to…
