That was fun and it's always a pleasure to see Ben, but it's still mysteries all the way down.

I feel that the quality of the answers is so shoddy that it is a stretch to call them answers at all. They're not explanations — like, it doesn't explain anything that the numbers each correspond to one of the six; it's just another manifestation of the numbers' mysteriousness without elucidating in any way the

Oh? What was the island? What's the nature of its relationship to the outside world? Why is it the staging ground for the ultimate battle between good and evil? How did the island grant powers to Jacob and the Man in Black? What did the numbers mean?

I used to pop open the inner backing of the CD case for the appropriate album and keep the stub in there. Then CDs went away!

Man, you don't always even get a ticket stub anymore.

If you're out in public, you're fair game legally, at least for journalistic-type photos and videos. That's definitely the case if you're just out on the street; I assume it applies to public transportation, too. But I don't think a company could use your image commercially — like, taking a picture of you on the

"Miami" is a fantastic song, and the live version was a highlight of the PopMart tour — weird U2 at its best. And "Playboy Mansion" is lovely; perfect metaphor, especially for an album that's all about the juxtaposition of religion and consumerism.

All I've retained from the whole last season of Lost is a sense of distinct dissatisfaction. Nothing will convince me they didn't biff the landing, as well as all the little landings leading up to it. The mysteries were so fundamental to the show that I just couldn't countenance them leaving the biggest ones

Agreed with all of that. And it feels like it will move that way eventually, but both the relationship and the show are so nuanced now that there's no way to tell for sure. I do wonder if Diane will finally make a move and BoJack will reject it because she's still married and he realizes he — GASP — doesn't want to

The name's Tōd.

Do we think BoJack and Diane still have a romantic future? Or at this point, is the show more invested in watching them learn how to stay friends and watching her learn how to navigate marriage? The writers have done a good job of keeping me guessing as to whether she just wants to be happy with Mr. Peanutbutter but

As I understand it, on most sites there's not a clear correlation between number of comments and number of pageviews. Regardless, it's more about constantly churning out low-cost (in terms of research and production) content.

I have no idea if that's really the case — I'm just looking at the evidence (big uptick in GJIs here, overall trend toward that type of content in online publishing) and extrapolating. I would actually prefer that the A.V. Club turn some of their features into clearly identified sponsored content, if that would help

Oh God. I didn't know that was Milla J. I remember that episode — it provided reliable alone-time fodder for weeks after my young adolescent self saw it.

I don't know. It seems just as likely there's a Buzzfeed-inspired push to do more GJI posts, because they're quick and easy and reliable traffic draws. And if you have to hit a certain target of posts per day but don't want to publish the same viral video as everyone else, you're going to end up digging up more

Right. Not sure that inspiring a podcast I've never heard of, no matter how hilarious, somehow negates or even mitigates all the failings detailed in the preceding paragraphs.

The voice was the one truly great and creative thing about that movie. (The plane scene at the beginning was pretty good, too.)

Isn't this the one where the guy becomes limitless?

If we're being precise, that would be "lack of interest," not "disinterest." A New Yorker editor would have caught that.
