Whoever it was, it was AWFUL

Tin cups are sold in sporting goods stores as camping supplies — the cup could have come with Charles' crew and just been dropped someplace, where Jack picked it up.

Was I the only one who thought Miles was seeing/hearing all of Ben's Dharma victims, haunting Otherton?

Wonder if this is also why babies conceived on the Island tended to die there (along with their Mommies)?

That was my favorite moment in the episode, too — Desmond punching Ben so hard he punched him clear out of the universe for a few moments…

The Sayid/Shannon "romance" was the most poorly conceived thing ever on that show

But as far as we saw, Jacob was just second in a line of "protectors" that started with his crazy witch of a foster Mom.

Holy crap, this show is probably on its tenth season in Hell
WOW, just wow. Cinema's three most annoying people in the same heinous TV show. I'm not brave enough to click on any of those video clips.

That giant EM generator doodad
Where did that come from? Did Whidmore have it built to order, based on Daniel's experiments at Oxford, or has it been sitting on the Hydra Island all this time?

I am not a fan of the soulless Mr. Zemeckis' movies, so while the nerds are at it, they can get me for pointing out how awful "Roger Rabbit" was

Legos
Best toy concept ever created?

I was sad when my kids outgrew Sesame Street, since I got to briefly revisit that nostalgia.

"watching Back To The Future and its two sequels back-to-back-to-back just before Back To The Future 3"
Does that sentence make sense to anyone? Was there a sequel in between 2 & 3?

DrManhattan, I was with you on most of your choices (I was in college when the Simpsons started) until you brought in N64 (I worked on an N64 game in my 30s)… :(
