This is a classic eye of the beholder problem. If you are going to accept that most scientific experts agree that global warming based on hard data shouldn't you also be willing to acccept that most food scientists find GM food to be safe? I actually have a few good scientist friends who work for the FDA/USDA in

The problem is most of that type of stuff was free in previous Sims because the community would create the content. From what I understand they will not be releasing similar tools with this game. Needless ot say my wife is very, very annoyed.

I thought that what this implicates is that Smokie/Adams could not directly act against Jacob or to manipulate the time travel on the Island, but could have someone else act as his surrogate. But in order for that surrogate to defeat Jacob a series of conditions have to be met that are somewhat conflicting, hence the

Anyone Else Suspect…
That judging from Hurley's numerous appearances in the last two days that he is going to be killed off tonight?

Tristiac - Die in a Fire from herpescanceraids. Rose and Bernard are some folks favorite characters because unlike everyone else on this show (except perhaps Hurley) they don't spend every waking moment of screen time up their own ass and they tend to make decisions and ask questions like normal human beings. They

You keep pushing this water vapor theory…

Where did we learn that it was a cloud of water vapor? I think that it may be related to the holes in the ground, but it doesn't necessarily follow that it is water. I agree that it is animated by the island but I think it is much more likely that it is animated metal shavings i.e. something that can be easily

I also don't think the smoke monster is water vapor… It would make more sense if it was something like metal shavings. There has been a lot of back story related to the "unique electromagnetic properties" of the island. Wouldn't it make more sense that this "electromagnetic effect" was conscious (or under the

I think this illustrates that the AMA desperately needs to update its Ethical standards to account for the plethora of conflicts-of-interests resulting from time travel.

So… How much you want to bet?
At some point this season we flash forward to present day and see Jin,Jack, Sawyer, Juliet, Kate and Hurley dressed in old-people make-up secretly leading the others? Maybe hanging out at the temple?

Bon Jovi
I didn't listen to the recording, but did they comment on how much some of the songs on the new album sound like direct riffs off of Bon Jovi?

Yes, he was held captive for three years in the jungle. He escaped, hence his handcuffs. Hell, the obligatory reason Sawyer and crew were allowed to stay on the Island was to "look for his people." I mean seriously, I thought of this almost instantly, are you suggesting that the folks in 1977 NEVER discussed the

Also remember that the smoke monster is a "defense mechanism." I always thought that lent credence to the whole "alien spaceship/future time machine" theories. Its functions may also be "course correcting" the timeline.

It should have started at the dawn of time, quickly followed by the building of the Giant statue (who has the face of WAAAAALLLLLLLLLTTTTTTT).

Is anyone else really annoyed that there is a frickin obvious cover story that Sawyer/Jin could have used i.e. that Sayid was a member of their "crew" that went missing and must have been captured by the hostiles? He was wearing handcuffs for heavens sakes.

I'm confused about something…
Nathan stated in the interview that the first time he met Joss Whedon was his interview for the part in Firefly, but I distinctly remember that he was a bad guy on the last season of Buffy. Wouldn't he have met Joss then?

Screw you Rose+Bernard haters. Rose and Bernard are awesome sauce.

Juliet is Annie. She time traveled back to the era where Ben would have met her. They make a point in earlier episodes to say that she looks uncannily like Annie.

I don't like my band name.
Band: Tubuloglomerular feedback
Album: The tools of their tools.
