That blonde can be traced back to Xenu, I bet.

@ Billy — Ummmmm, I think she IS high all the time. Which explains pretty much all her mannerisms and her entire "personality".

Rubenstein?
Also, I may have just missed it, but I don't recall seeing Zelda Rubenstein during the In Memoriam…

Mystery, Alaska
I'm not generally a big fan of sports movies, so I sort of saw this under duress but I really appreciated the fact that the protags didn't end up winning the big game.

@ Mayor McZombie — "Vishnu cannot kill Shiva because Vishnu is merely an aspect of Shiva. There's a lot of assumptions with the "deal" here. We are assuming everyone gets a bargain, or that the bargain was more than simply a metaphor. The thing that stirs my mind is that Dogen recalled that Smokey was once "trapped"…

The writers weren't aware that Jacob (first mentioned in S2) existed? Or that the smoke monster-entity (first seen in the Pilot) existed until the last ep of S5?

I may be totally wrong, but I still think there's some reason we haven't had a given name for Smokey yet. Maybe he was originally a woman (the Eve skeleton?) or maybe he's related to one of our Losties or something? Otherwise, yeah, there's no reason for them to have held off this long on giving him a name.

Phew….
When I saw the headline, I was worried he was doing a cover of the classic Kinks album.

I didn't see the promo for next week (cable was glitching, had to d/l it), but it seems as though it mentioned something about Ben meeting his demise and showed him digging in a graveyard?

@ Dwide — That actually kind of makes sense. I actually think I'd prefer a Collins-sung version of that tune. Pete's voice doesn't really seem in tune with it or something.

As I mentioned above, Henrietta was played by Ivan Reitman's daughter; she must have picked up a thing or two about comedy from him.

@ Man Who Knows — I don't think that that still stands. Collins can't really play drums anymore, so that kind of puts the kibosh on that. (He had some sort of spinal surgery/problem that left him without feeling in his hands. He said they'd basically have to tape the sticks to his hands or he wouldn't even be able to…

I read that yesterday and found it pretty sad…

Give Can-Utility a spin, Mkd. I dunno what it is, but that song always grabs me in a good place.

No love for Foxtrot???

5 Years?
Not to split too many hairs here, but the first YouTube clip was uploaded in April, 2005. If SNL had really done that YouTube sketch 5 years ago, I think people just would have been really confused.

You really think that was a stupid move?

In one of the earlier threads, I posited that it is Jack who gets shot in the canoe. (Leading to his mysterious neck wound in the first sideways flash that we saw.)

I'm pretty sure that The Tin Age has just ended. It is the new dawning of The Molybdenum Age.

@ Name — I think you're a bit mistaken about why some of us aren't big fans of the sideways stuff so far.
