I wonder which of the TWO Westerosi songs will be used.

Eh. It was in one scene. Briefly.

Well, if you listen to some of the commentaries, the writers say their biggest influence was The Stand—which becomes a lot clearer in the final season.

Uh…..maybe?

Or maybe, just maybe—and please hear me out—people have different opinions about things?

That was a really good Sansa scene, but it kind of moved her character to a point much quicker than expected (maybe for the better?). Although the musician does appear for a while in the first book, so it's a pretty could callback when he's the fall guy.

Yeah, what the hell is that about? I've never seen The Good Wife, so I'm not going to bash it. But it's a general courtroom drama, no? The characters on Lost are generally pretty memorable and unique (with Locke being one of the best on television). That feels like a weird thing to say.

Also, an Oceanic Airlines billboard showed up in FlashForward. But let's not talk about that.

I definitely have this show to thank for getting me to check out The Third Policeman. What a weird, awesome book.

True. That was quite the feat, because Jack was a huge dick in Season 5. His reasoning for the whole hydrogen bomb deal was pretty selfish and absurd.

Funny, that's basically the reason why so many people love Game of Thrones.

Nikki and Paulo were kind of garbage characters, but their episode was pretty brilliant in a Rosencrantz and Guildenstern way. The way they get killed off is an incredible use of black comedy.

Yeah, I think Lilly was competent in the role, especially when she gets to do her action girl routine. It was basically the writing that failed the character. Kate was too one-note and defined by that one aspect of her past and her relationship with Jack/Sawyer.

They were originally going to kill of Jack in the beginning, but someone—a producer, probably—convinced them not to do it.

Well…I had no idea this was happening (this is where notifications would come in handy), but great! The Lost pilot is probably the best I've ever seen. It's a pretty assured opening for the series, and the writers already had a pretty good grasp on the characters as soon as the show started (the only one who feels a

It's already available on Hulu Plus, I think.

Hot Fuzz all the way.

The handjob scene from The Master does not count as porn…I think.

Fuuuuuuuuck

If so, I guess that's…better?
