Rhyming Recap
The alterna-Kwons have pre-nuptial relations
while the regular Kwons take separate vacations.

laym: Second all your positives on F/S's.
However much we may enjoy criticizing Lost's writers for the plot holes and for the making-more-stuff-up-as-they-go-along-than-they-care-to-admit-to, they really made the flashbacks work, then instead of resting on their laurels, dumped them and made the flashforwards work,…

I also enjoyed "I don't take orders from anyone but the President of the United States!" I'd love to bust that one out, if it weren't for all the other people I take orders from.

What if the movie isn't two hours long? What if it's 109 minutes? Will it be called "One-point-eight-one-six-repeating"?

Rahm is a pretty tough character. I think he would just shank Hillary rather than waiting around to see if the heart attack got the job done.

I was pulling hard for that, too. Dammit!

Did Richard die?
Did anyone else think that maybe he died chained up in the Black Rock and Titus Welliver revived him? He looked pretty dead, then there was a very portentous shot of somebody's hand TOUCHING him on the shoulder, and I was sure it was going to be Jacob…

His name is Titus Welliver. How could any name top that?

Hogun the Grim: Beta Ray Bill was a fun character, but he's no Hogun the Grim. The only thing I'm looking forward to at all in the Thor movie is the two or three lines Tadanobu Asano (AKA Genghis Khan!) will get as Hogun.

Alcing Functionholic:
Bai Ling didn't ruin Crank 2.

Dammit!
The last few episodes, it seems like Hastings has gotten this line more than Jack. Do you think maybe the cast has turned it into a game where they all draw straws or pick numbers, and the loser each week has to ad-lib a "dammit!" at some halfway convincing point in the episode?

I loved this episode, maybe because I don't even bother trying to suspend my disbelief with 24. What I liked was that it inverted the status quo by having Jack be pretty boring, while a bunch of supporting characters were unusually entertaining.

BBH: extremely well put. I enjoyed your imaginary Hastings dialog much more than any of his real lines.

I definitely think it would have been much cooler if, the first time Dana came back to her apartment and found the hillbillies hanging out, she had just pulled a gun and shot each of them in the middle of the forehead in under two seconds (and then fixed herself a drink). It would have saved a lot of time on her…

ICR: I also appreciated that somebody FINALLY recognizes Jack. But wouldn't it have been so much more satisfying if the Russian gangsters (or one of the many other bad guys he has gone undercover on over the years) were like "Really, Jack Bauer? Really? A pair of glasses? You're not even going to part your hair…

Has Lost lost its way?
Or are flash-sideways the way
To flesh out Lost's plot?

There once was a damsel named Kate,
The object of many fans' hate;
From Sawyer to Jack
She went forth and back,
And couldn't pick one as her mate.

Word of advice…
Next time, take the trigger finger.

I'm pleading with the writers of FF NOT to have suicide doc and hot babysitter struggle with romantic feelings. Lloyd and Penny already have that covered. Just let there be a male/female platonic friendship for once.

Huge thumbs up to Lost haiku! Go for it.
