No such thing as the Korean War
Here are some things:

Dear "Proud Lost Hata,"
You seem like a really great friend.
Also, you're definitely smarter than everyone around you.
Love,
The World

@ Shredder and Johnny Ruin:
Yeah, you're probably right. I could, however, see them pulling something like that for the end of this season, like they mess up the whole sequence of events that brought them to the island and instead land normally in LA… until season 6 in which everything gets fucked up again. I'd be okay…

end of the show
Well, I just hope that the show doesn't end with Oceanic 816 landing normally in LA and everyone going on their happy ways without ever knowing what (could have) happened. That would be extremely unsatisfying. Anyone think that's a possibility?

if the numbers lacked any significance besides that which they took on, then why does it matter that they are typed into the computer to avoid an Incident? is that just random too, or is it all part of an equation that gives very specific relevance to those numbers (ie the valenzetti equation… which is not technically…

I loved the comment Hurley made to Miles telling him that everything would be better if people would just communicate! As the voice of the audience, Hurley had it right on. Wouldn't proper communication solve 90% of the problems on Lost?

clone high is simply the best show to watch fucked up of all time.
and also sober.
i just love that show.

I'm surprised that there's so much venom on here towards people who are pro-independent bookstores. Amazon definitely has its place, but it is no replacement for the indie stores that I have come to know, love, and work at. My store has just announced that it is going out of business this month, and it breaks my…

@magnus
I don't know, I stick by my overwhelming dislike of Dominic. I'm all for shades of grey, and I think that pretty much all of the characters on this show have them, but Dominic least of all, for me anyway. That doesn't mean that I didn't feel extreme discomfort at his being forced into the Attic, though.

Dominic's Infiltration
First off, I will join the pack with a resounding THIS EPISODE WAS AWESOME (best yet, definitely!!).

It seems very possible that Locke could have been getting some info in the woods, but a possibility that keeps going through my head is that Locke somehow was able to experience the flashes to the past that the other I6ers experienced after he was gone, thus knowing that Jin saw Montand and friends go down that very…

I thought the same thing!! Great, Jack, now your shirt's all wet.

We already have tenuously related people on this show… it would be very LOST-like to have a couple more…

I Like Character Development
I've got to say that I enjoyed this episode. The structuring was really good, and it was nice to return to some solid character development from a somewhat neglected character after a few weeks of crazy what-the-fuck-ery. The episode was a chance to give our brains a brief rest without…

re: Penny — She had better be born soon… if it's 1977, she should really already be born, assuming that she's about 30… I love the idea of an on-island birth for her, possibly parented by Charles and Ellie??

Did anyone read Jeff Jensen's recap of this episode? He comes down really hard on Sawyer for the way he handled the Sayid situation. Really, I think that Sayid's position is really more his own doing. Sawyer first offered a solution to Sayid that would be easiest for everyone, but later offers to free Sayid, just as…

WWOFTOBNR: There was just a Jack episode, about 2 episodes back, right? Where he talks to Mrs. Hawking and gets the note from Locke and becomes a believer? I think that was our Jack for the time being…

I really doubt that they're going to go very far into the realm of zombies here, even if there are a handful of characters that we know to be not quite dead and not quite alive. I just can't imagine a league of zombie-Others… it simply gets too silly.

can we talk about…
Michael: "Why'd you have to buy Pam a house to impress her? That's what carnations are for."
Creed: "That's not what they're for."

@ fish biscuit: I think it also helped that Lapidus knew that the plane was going to be "crashing" before it happened, what with the whole island crew being on the plane and all. Easier to plan ahead in that case.
