I too was hoping Sayid or Claire would kill Kate. But to follow Michelle Welch's line, I think we all have to be prepared for and resigned to the fact that Kate is going to survive the series, just as it was obvious she was going to be one of the people that had successfully gotten off the island even before the…

Yeah. One was in "Okay Awesome" and the other in "The Duel."

Full keyboard smart phones are at least five or six years old. It could have been like at the beginning of that trend. Maybe. I mean, his character has an iPhone right now—is that what he was on?

I also did that. It wasn't against the rules, in fact I think my biology teacher suggested doing it if we got done with the rest of the dissection with time to spare. Like with you guys, I had never seen real live brain before, and wanted to see what it looked like. We also, for some reason, all had to carefully cut…

There's a whole plot in season 2's "First Time in New York" with Marshall and Lily debating whether or not Scooter and Lily have had sex or not. I believe Lily says they didn't dive all the way in but splashed around in the shallow section, which doesn't constitute sex. Marshall sys it is sex until his own logic…

Are you only making these comparisons so you can say Charlie is Merry?

LOAA, all those things happen before the bomb detonates. They all would have happened whether or not it did. Drilling into the electromagnetic field is what caused the incident. I maintain the the timelines are one until the bomb detonates (including the Losties being in the past), using a conception of time and…

On a completely different tack, if you really want an additional mind fuck, how about this theory: Why did the alternatverse people not crash? Because the Losties set off the bomb in 1977. Why are the Losties still on the Island in 2007? Because the alternaverse people were never there to set of the bomb in 1977…

I don't think getting technical with physics prevents time travel, I just think it's adhering to the wrong physics. Quantum physics very much has space in it for time travel, as well as separate realities. We can look at the timeline split as one of a million probabilistic separate realities. Meaning that, like the…

Even more evidence Penny was born earlier than 1977—I got some times wrong. If she was, then:

Lone Audience—I think you're overthinking it (though this entire thread, as fun as it is, reeks a bit of that to me. Some of the theories as to which reality is the original one and such seem a bit to me like the theories going on during season 2 and 3 that the island was hell and such—taking the mysteries of the…

Yeah, Post-War LA pretty much IS Downtown to Hollywood. The Valley was mostly farmland, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Venice were all separate cities (as they still technically are) and everywhere else was, well, everywhere else. Sounds pretty awesome and accurate to me. I wonder if what's currently Koreatown will…

That 747s one is just understanding physics. The others though are pretty interesting, though.

Be vewy vewy quiet. We're hunting Elmers.

It's one space. I was an english major in college and have written a ton of papers, and haven't done two space in a good 15 years. Even some of the examples people talk about here show it to be one space.

I remember her from a few of the SNL skits back in the day. She was one of a few fairly pleasant cast members back when being only fairly pleasant meant you were one of the worst cast members on the show. Nothing against her, but she couldn't hold a candle to Phil Hartman, Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey (back when he was…

"No no no, it'll look worse. Go that way."

God, I can't even type that without getting a little depressed. Fucking Mets…

Fuck the Yankees and the Braves. Go Mets!

Also, for my money, The Wire season 4 does the best job of laying bare the problems with schools right now than anything in any form of media I've ever seen.
