Just thinking about next week being a Desmond episode has got me excited. I've always loved the character and was just happy to know we were going to see him make a splash on Season 6 had me in a good mood. But I forgot how much Desmond's flash-anythings have advanced Lost as a whole. Desmond's connection to Penny…

Did Widmore want to remove Ben and kill everyone else on the Island in order to make sure those people weren't manipulated by the Man in Black?

Every time someone mentions the Outriggers we all
get excited. They'll probably wait until we're not expecting it anymore.

My friends and I kept saying that we couldn't wait so see Widmore's package! Wait…

It's funny, last night Chuck went somewhere I wasn't expecting and I felt a little dissapointed. Tonight we predicted beat after beat, Mikhail's eye being shot, Sun being pregnant, the package being Desmond. And it felt a little dissapointing that we were able to guess some things about Lost. Maybe I'm just having a…

I thought Braveheart myself.

And Spielberg, take off your hat during the National Anthem. Seriously.

"Who does Number 2 work for!"

I once met Heather Graham at a screening for the Guru, along with it's lead Jimi Mistry, and she was very lively and charming. When the screening broke everyone was getting up and I was by the stairs and they led her out of the theater right below where I was.

Everybody missed it!?!
All right, I was out on Monday, only saw Chuck on Tuesday and am just getting to the comments but I can't believe no one saw what I immediately saw. Especially since everyone was discussing the call back to last year's Christmas episode. Sarah's Red Test. The woman she shot? What she dropped out…

It's also goes to show that wave after wave of people come on the island…and die. Giving a lot of credence to the Man in Black's theories. But it just has to end once for Jacob.

Do we actually think all the animals were Jacob? Could some of them be the Man in Black? What were some of the motivations and results of the characters interacting with animals? Sawyer crushed the tree frog and made a 'bad' choice. Kate's horse influenced her to make out with Jack which colored a great many, or maybe…

Pop the Cork
So now we know the Island is the Cork holding in this ultimate evil of the Man in Black, aka around here as Esau. This feels significant and lends more weight to the idea that the off Island stuff reflects on our characters in a big bad way. The Flash Sideways is the world with that cork sunk to the…

I absolutley thought the butterfly related to the Hurley Bird in some way. Perhaps Jacob just likes to check things out in a flying form and when he realized the Man in Black was directly intervening by trying to physically take Locke that Jacob had to at least warn Hurley.

Wait, do you mean Push-ass, based on the novel Tush by Ass-Fire?

But there was booze there. My roommate corrected me too.

Best NPH Reaction
Not only was Barney laughing at Marshall teaching Robin the song but the best reaction tonight was when Barney started recoiling out of the frame in fear that Lily was about to give the 'You're Dead to Me Look'. I had to rewind it to see that take again.

Maybe like Donna said we won't know she's the Mother because we don't know what the important moments are until they've passed.

I'm also partial to when Sara Gilbert rips out Bart's heart and kicks it into the trashcan. There's a trail of bllod to the can but nothing on her foot. That always fascinated me…

There was a tiny bit of revisionist history in this episode since Bart and Homer went to see an Itchy and Scratchy movie together. They're not supposed to see one until Bart is a member of the Supreme Court! But it is a 3D one, and it wasn't as funny as the real one, and I realized I'm probably over thinking it. Etc,…
