And then, perhaps, she will go someplace, but first promise to return to the place where she currently is at a later time.

I also think it's odd that Gaeta's experience wasn't addressed, although I understand the reasoning from an out-of-story perspective (the webisodes were written and produced later). Obviously Gaeta would be expected to provide some reckoning for why he's the only survivor of a massacre. Presumably he blames the 8,…

Well, Zarek killing Laird was totally unnecessary. As a member of the military, I imagine Racetrack could have handled a combat death, but watching an innocent, unknowing man be murdered for no good reason - that's going to throw you. Also, she was responsible for clearing the room, so she probably felt guilty that…

I think Zarek was in jail for blowing up a building - possibly with people in it, ala Running on Empty? He seemed more like a martyr for his cause than a failure. I'm still only halfway clear on what his agenda is, though, besides opposing Roslin.

I'm another one who couldn't care one bit less about football, high school or otherwise, and I freaking adore this show. What's weird, is, I have an impossible time trying to convince people who are actually interested in the sport that they might like it. I think NBC plays up the soap-opera-y elements in their ads,…

I watched Dead Alive with my aunt and uncle by accident once (I thought I was renting Dead Again). So I feel your pain.

Yeah, I like the idea that J.D. is just a kid, not an evil football genius out to ruin Matt Saracen's life.

But guys, in the trailer she's marrying some other guy in the future! But she looks behind her like she hopes someone else is coming for her! It's so romantic to be pining for a jerky ex-boyfriend while saying your marriage vows! What if Matthew McConaghey can't change her mind in time, and they don't end up…

I don't know - I guess. There's no weight to any of it, though.

totally, annie. After a long hour suffering with the BSG crew, I need Sean and Gus to get up to some of the antic-iest antics ever filmed. It's just so…pleasant. No darkness, no deep moments. Just pure goofiness and occasional adorableness. And a mystery.

If I ever chose to eat a Butterfinger, I would probably immediately disavow the free will that had led me to that horrifying place, and become a Scientologist. So, if the Simpsons team is recruiting, well done, sir.

Also, there's something to be said for the journey. Fiction itself is set, but we still enjoy it as if the characters weren't being led through their paces (when it's good). I'm reading The Time-Traveler's Wife right now, so I have time travel on the brain. In that book, the sequence of events is set, but the…

Well, I imagine that's going to be the point - breaking a vicious cycle by exerting free will. Whether that will happen through Desmond or some other character, I doubt all of these knowledgeable people (Faraday, Mrs. Hawking), would be running around trying to make things happen if they knew with certainty that they…

I'm surprised that isn't a running gag with Sharon Gless, actually, considering how she likes feeding people.

Wait - wh0 was Wallace? He wasn't Corey, was he?

On the subject of all the Charlies - I remembered one more. The woman who died and woke up during her own autopsy was also named Charlotte. Could just be that it's a big cast and the writers like those names, but I don't know….

Libby is the only major cast member who never had her own flashback episode, I believe.

err…4 years.

Ben wasn't born on the island. But, I agree, he probably didn't take a year off from being the megalomaniacal ruler of a weird island to get a degree. Maybe all the islanders got distance learning degrees.

I think Sawyer and Jack are Betty and Veronica.
