Also, some loose notes:

Cain versus Abel.
All this discussion of Jacob vs. Esau and Good vs. Evil reminds me of the original Something v. Something match up: Cain vs. Abel.

Alvar aged though, he was way older.

I also suspect that some of the stuff didn't come about until after the Incident. The Hatch system was the source for a lot of the insanity in earlier seasons (leading up to the Orchid being built over the Frozen Donkey Wheel, something that NEEDS to be explained at some point).

Well they haven't fully explained it, no, but we can assume that the Initiates that are on the Island in '77 have no real clue about the batshit crazy stuff.

They can only use promo pictures for the headers. That's the one they had available.

Big props to Pilgrim

YOU OFFENDED HER SAY YOU ARE SORRY NOW.

Uncle Dan

Wait, what? Is that for cold sores?

Kyle: He Has To Hate Everything You Like.

I got THE SOPRANOS, but was the second one THE WIRE?

and Noel is a chick.

"What room are you in?"

IT'S LIKE HE'S TALKING TO ME.

I think he was more pissed at the marketing. Yeah, maybe he shouldn't have yelled at the kid, but maybe that was the best way to get to the manager.
