Anyone notice the Chicago skyline
In the background of all the office scenes? Not sure why the set designer (I guess this would be their decision) chose to have the Chicago skyline in the background through the office windows

Did anyone think there was something up with Tim
I don't know the actor's name, or even his character's role, but he was in nearly every episode at the White House, seemed to be some sort of liasion (sp?) between the FBI and the White House…anyway, I kind of got the impression that he might have been working for Alan…

Someone somewhere posted that perhaps Jacob's enemy is just the most recent dead body that the Smoke Monster inhabited. Maybe the Monster or whatever can't kill Jacob because he can't judge Jacob, because Jacob has done nothing which warrants judgment.

Urbaniak is perfect as a friend of Dwight
He sort of looks like Dwight, only shorter, and you could see both of them as low-level Nazis

The .69 cent check
Is dated 9/11/91…and then shortly after the landlord tells him it's already the 6th of the month (i think). are we to assume that The Dude has post-dated a .69 cent check?

Blackie has to be the Monster
That's the only way that the conflict between Jacob and his enemy can have any sort of meaning or impact with the viewer. As someone just pointed out, the conflict isn't that compelling this late in the game…unless it's between two people who actually do have meaning for viewers, we just…

I believe that the Scorsese Dean Martin movie did have Tom Hanks as Dino…I can't remember who rounded out the Rat Pack. I remember talk of Sandler as Joey Bishop…I believe this was right after Punch Drunk Love

I guess I just don't see Blackie being trapped in the cabin…everything we saw last night suggested that Jacob was there…that he was able to project himself into the real world, into the lives of the castaways, just as Walt was able to project himself to Locke and Shannon.

If the theory that Blackie is the smoke monster is correct, then he also needs a dead body, on the island, that he can inhabit. So Locke, the real Locke, had to become the leader, and then Blackie had to orchestrate this entire thing with some people leaving the island and some staying, and then Locke being told by…

I think it's because some people have speculated that the monster can manifest itself as dead people on the island…Eko's brother, Alex, Christian Shepard…I even remember earlier in this season people speculating that Locke was actually a manifestation of the monster and not really Locke. If you look back on the…

There is so much to try to figure out and piece together, the who, what and when…luckily we have until January 2010 to figure it out.

Everything will be proven wrong I'm sure because Lost always surprises. For instance, yesterday I knew without a doubt that I would be disappointed when they revealed who Jacob was…i thought that if it was someone we knew it would never live up and if it was someone we didn't know then it wouldn't really mean…

It was there before, I think the first time we ever saw the cabin when Ben took Locke there.

Ilana was not going to confront Adams from Deadwood. Jacob lives in the cabin but hasn't been there for a while. They'd want to show him that the leader he's chose, Locke, is not who he thinks he is

DAMN…nice one…i saw the Bell but didn't notice a lack of crack

I had a basic understanding about Alias with Rimbaldi and the evil corporation and all so when I started watching Lost I was gearing myself up for something like that. And then going from Lost to Fringe they got much more sci-fi…so far it seems like JJ is adding more and more layers to each show he does. Not saying…

Someone somewhere said it's a good time for music now with the new Green Day and the new Wilco coming out…I disagreed with half of that sentiment

The fact that anyone thinks Green Day has a political message is also sad and pathetic. Billie Joe is nothing more than a pathetic Joe Strummer wannabe and that's all his band ever was and they failed miserably at that too. Also, Billie, your name is stupid.

I want to blame Rolling Stone magazine, but then that would mean I think they're still a relevant publication. But that magazine really fawns over Green Day

And yet people are treating their last two albums like the beginning of a Beggars Banquet to Exile on Main Street-esque run of groundbreaking, classic, ball-shattering albums.
