I think his wife in that scene WAS Smokey. I think he took her form to put the fear of the devil into richard. then he faked her being attacked. That's how I took it. Could be wrong.

and another thing…
Looking at where we are now, what was really the point of all the temple BS with Dogen and the others? Dogen died without giving up hardly any crucial information, and the rest were practically wiped out. I'll repeat, what's the point?

Jacob messing with people.
Jacob says he doesn't want to mess with people. People have already mentioned how just by bringing them to the island he is messing with them. What about his latest interactions with Hurley? Is he breaking his own "rule" here?

I like that idea. Good stuff.

That was me as Goby. Didn't mean to come off as negative as I did. Long day at work. Apologies. Good work as always.

That was me as Goby. Sorry, hadn't logged in.

what of the boy running through the woods?
What about that little blonde kid. Who is that?

Ok let's just calm down…
I have been in the camp that this show has gone down hill fast since season 4. This was my favorite show back in 2006. I can't even admit how many repeat viewings I logged. This season currently is just plain awful. However, I laughed more last night than I have in a while. It was enough…

I just want to make you proud, Pop…
How? With your male modeling? Prancing around in your underwear with your weiner hanging out for everyone to see?
You're dead to me, son. You're even more dead to me than your dead mother.

good call. had totally let that slip the mind.

Paging Dr. Herman…

"Don't worry. You're so funny and smart and amazing, any girl but me would be lucky to date you. You'll find someone, I know it. And when you do, I'll be right by your side to suddenly become all flirty and affectionate with you in front of her, until she grows jealous and won't believe it when you say we're just…

I approve of this theory.

real quick
Just wanted to mention what a beautiful looking episode this was, the Sawyer cliff seeing in particular. Nice work.

Forgot about that. thanks.

Whatever happened to…
The box. Whatever happened to the box where the others could get anything they wanted, like Cooper?

probably just one of many red herrings. I'm also beginning to sadly think the awesome war/conspiracy between widmore and ben will turn up to be a red herring and dropped in favor of this jacob/smokey thing. not terribly bummed about it, as this season is pretty good so far, but its almost as if this season exists…

my goodness
Could you have found a worse video of "Hey Leonardo" to embed? They look and sound like they can barely remember the song. Plus that dude's voice has seriously declined in quality, not that it was good to begin with.

Stupid arguments amongst my friends…
Topics include:
Which superpower is the greatest? I say teleportation.
Could I beat up Hitler? I say yes.
Could two 747's fly within five feet of each other and not cause enough turbulence to force each other to crash? Of course not.
Who would win in a wrestling match between…

The thing is, I don't really have brass balls. They're just regular testicles.
