As far as them not being black, who says that those are their original forms?

Two of my friends made a great analogy last night between Jacob/MiB and the old Looney Tunes where the sheepdog and wolf have like a day long battle with each other over the herd, and afterwards, they both clock out and sit down next to each other and go "Hi, Ralph." "Hi, Sam."

I like the idea that, while Richard thought they were going to America, the boat was going somewhere else (and Australia would certainly make sense). As far as the Latin, I always figured it wasn't Richard's native language so much as it was Jacob's, and that the Others learned it as a way to identify themselves as…

SUPPLIES!

I'll drag myself out of Spatula City to see this!

Actually, in their original stories, the age difference between the two of them was very specifically pointed out, so it wouldn't really a a problem in a film.

I think they are planning on rebooting FF with a different cast anyway, but either way, Marvel doesn't own the movie rights to the FF, so no crossovers.

Secret of NIMH
Takes on new meaning to me, now that I work on NIMH grant-supported research.

Indeed, the Troy/Abed ending is always the perfect capper to the show.

Agreed. that scene was not good, and very obviously tacked on to take up 2 minutes.

Barnaby - thumbs up.

Despite our mini-rivalry (inasmuch as they don't really compare), I have to say that, as a New Yorker, I like Philly. It's a very pleasant town, and seems much nicer than NYC, despite actually having way worse crime. Also, everything is WAY cheaper. I don't think I'd ever leave NYC for it, but I like visiting.

It turns out that it was Ed Norton all along…he was being Keyser Soze in his sleep.

Wind in the Door featured mitochondrions as independent life forms living symbiotically in our cells, which is actually true (from an evolutionary standpoint). It also had cherubim. It stands out as my favorite of the series…Many Waters being way too blatantly christian and featuring the most boring members of the…

The 2003 TV miniseries of wrinkle in time was AWFUL, and it had the kid from the ring as Charles Murry and the girl who played Shadowcat for 2 seconds in X-Men 2 as Meg Murry. It was NOTHING like you'd imagine the book to be visually, and really low budget. If Disney throws some serious money into it, it could be a…

As long as they keep the rat Nicodemus, cuz that's a badass name for a super intelligent rat.

What is Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation?

It's all that smoke in his gut.

I'm still thinking that Juliet is Jack's ex-wife on alternaverse. It would make sense that they would meet as MDs, and it would be a nice twist as far as Sawyer typically fucking a character Jack likes in regular world.

Again, I think the island is the source of all this mystical stuff, not Jacob and Smokey (who are merely effected by the island). It's possible that Christian is an emissary for the island, and not either Jacob or Smokey. Remember, Christian told Locke to move the island when it was in danger. That could either mean…
