What was up with Miles just pushing his way into Nadia's house? Don't the police have to get permission from the homeowner (or a warrant) for that?

How awesome would it be if they actually went ahead and killed Jack? I did get the vibe from Locke's line that Jack was his newest zombie recruit.

I didn't get into the Clash until I was 21 or so, and had never even listened to punk music before - I'd just liked "Rudie Can't Fail" when I heard it on the Grosse Pointe Blank soundtrack. Listening to them and reading about the band in general opened up a whole different world that I'd never paid attention to

@Miss Appropriation, I came up with a similar example when I was trying to think of early life-changing (or at least perception-altering) art. I remember loving the (totally YA fantasy) book The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley, because it had a female main character who was the actual Hero of the title and who

Jack has very nice hair this season, I'll give him that.

YES! I got linked to that from another forum and I was so damn excited that someone thought to make it….and then came the crushing letdown. At least the video of the alarm clock in action was great. I'd totally wear Dharma jumpsuit pajamas too.

He's really good at showing how Flocke seems not quite comfortable or used to being human, all very subtly.

I will be annoyed if it turns out that they did have plans for Ilana, but killed her off instead just because they ran out of time. There's some little things in Season 6 that suggest the writers are half-assing it at times, and that would be a good example.

I will also hop on the very end of the bandwagon to say that Desmond looked very appealing, especially (weirdly enough) in the fast food joint with Hurley. I remember thinking that if a dude who looked like that wandered up to me in a restaurant I'd listen to anything he had to say.

Lost has a really bad track record with its female characters. Ilana was one of the few that seemed interesting in her own right and not just as someone's true love. So, of course she had to die.

Okay, I just started watching Supernatural (and largely have no idea what's going on), but what's the deal with Sam and Cass's super-deep voices? It's like they're in a contest to see who can sound the most gravely.

Heroes could have lasted a lot longer if it hadn't fumbled the first season finale so badly.

Yep, kids will know when their parents are out of it on something, be it drugs or alcohol, and it is upsetting for them.

The "alterna-verse as Smokey's reward" theory never works for me, because the people who are actively working for him (Kate, Claire, Sawyer, Sayid) all still have pretty serious problems in their alterna-lives. Meanwhile Hurley, who is Jacob's mouthpiece at this point, has the best alterna-life ever.

Next episode will be good, I'm sure, but seeing Hurley put flowers on Libby's grave ticks me off, because it means they're all still hanging around at the beach for no good reason. What happened to the plan to go destroy the plane, or find the rest of their friends?

Penny wasn't suspicious because she felt the destined love connection too. I guess.

Whoa the bomb's effect erasing changes back to the '50's does a lot to explain the sideways universe's differences (and maybe everyone has already figured that out, but it's new to me).

The time-travel-alternate-universes stuff is mostly over my head, but is it possible Desmond is compliant because he thinks the Island universe is the one that's not real, similar to Charlie's attitude toward the sideways-verse? It isn't his "real" life, so whatever happens doesn't really matter. Widmore wants him

True, but he also seemed very cold about it - much more like his emotionless island self. Like I said, not evil, but no longer concerned about the fates of others.

As much as I love this season, I am not on board with True Believer Hero Jack. He went nutso in Season 5, got Juliet killed (not to mention shooting a bunch of Dharma folk); and he's basically acting like Locke did for Seasons 1-5, a guy who will do anything because he believes it's his "destiny". The fact that this
