I have a lot to say about New York, but E.B. White said most of it better. However, I do have to ask Sarah Palin, what the fuck could possibly be more American than New York City? Cus most of us are awfully puzzled by what the "Real America" means, if not the land of opportunity, and ambition, and blending cultures,…

Dead charlie couldn't have been the smoke monster because 1)Nobody else could see him, and 2) he was seen off the island. The smoke monster is trapped on the island, and takes actual physical form.

Why would anyone assume Dogen had been there for centuries? I think you assume too much about what everyone else is assuming.

If she saw him as a totally different person, wouldn't she just be confused by Jin calling him John? It was "that's not John" in almost a teasing way, not "John? What the hell are you talking about?"

Don't you see how valuable this movie will be to stand up comedy science? It's controlling for ALL variables except black people vs. white people. Just think of all the potential discoveries in how white people do things, and how black people do things.

Entirely subjective counter-bullets:

What about shopping?

Current events!

I like the image of a Chinese sweatshop for generating captions for pictures of American pets.

YOU GONNA EAT THAT? YOU GONNA EAT THAT? YOU GONNA EAT THAT? YOU GONNA EAT THAT? YOU GONNA EAT THAT? YOU GONNA EAT THAT? YOU GONNA EAT THAT? YOU GONNA EAT THAT? YOU GONNA EAT THAT? YOU GONNA EAT THAT? YOU GONNA EAT THAT? YOU GONNA EAT THAT? YOU GONNA EAT THAT? YOU GONNA EAT THAT?

From where does the uncertainty arise?

More like "hate her," amirite?

Nathan Rabin is consistently far more insufferable than Amelie at her worst. (That's right, and I hope he reads this, too!)

I like to think they recognize the fan's opinions of Kate, and have done us a favor by getting the obligatory Kate episode out of the way as early as possible.

Presumably he's not "allowed" to kill Sayid directly. He did say that Sayid had to take the pill willingly. Although giving him poison (or giving it to someone else to give to him) and telling him its medicine doesn't seem all that different from killing him directly.

It would be strange if Jacob represented choice, since he's the one who brought people to the island originally, apparently in order to follow his orders (and kill everybody else, like the Dharma Initiative).

I don't think it's a good vs. evil thing. The Others, servants of Jacob, seem to think of themselves as the good guys. However, they seem to be huge dicks more often than not. Ben and Widmore were both leaders among the Others, remember, although both were EVENTUALLY disgraced. And it's Jacob who shipwrecked a bunch…

I think he probably will become on MIBs side now, but I'm not sure that means "cold and heartless." We still don't know what it means. Certainly the Others (on Jacob's side), have often been cold and heartless themselves. My guess is something more like "wild" as opposed to "civilized."

Yeah, all the Jews were supposedly descended from Jacob. That doesn't make them especially inbred, though. You have 2^n direct ancestors going back n generations, so that's over a billion by the time you go back 30 generations, and obviously there is a great deal of "doubling up," since that would be more people than…
