Can't we at least agree that Frank is toast? Much as I'll miss him, it seems pretty damn likely to me.

Desmond, easy. The writers clearly have no idea what to do with him anymore. They've written him into a corner: killing Penny would be very unpopular, Desmond leaving would break his promise, and there's no way him, Penny and their kid will all be regulars.

So let me get this straight…
Okay, so:
[A] Smokey, who may or not be the on the island's side (and who may or may not be Jacob) has ordered Ben to obey Locke's every command.
[B] Locke wants to kill Jacob.
[C] So, who wants Jacob dead? The island? Smokey? Or Jacob himself?

The second tastes like filler.
The third starts horribly but has a strong finish.
The fourth is decent but has too many undercooked new ingredients.
The fifth is an interesting mish-mash but lacks a cohesive flavour profile.
The sixth provides

When I saw the pilot for this show, the first thing I thought was that it was clearly based on David Wells. They may say otherwise, but I'm sticking with it.

As much as I love him as Widmore, he'll always be Caleb Nichol to me.

Mr. Show, anybody?
My two sacred cows—they're practically dealbreakers for me—are Mr. Show and Warner Brothers cartoons. I can't understand people who say that they don't find Mr. Show funny, or that they don't get it. It makes makes me angry.

"It is the first time anyone can recall an actor dissing another actor so openly for the performance." Openly? It was a private text message that some douchebag leaked to stir up shit. It's not like Rourke
