I haven't been keeping up with these reviews as I would have liked (my computer melted down at the beginning of summer and it took me ages to get around to buying a new one) but I'd just like to add my voice to the calls for coverage to extend past the seasons that weren't originally covered - I'd love to see new

Life and Death, Jack's theme, the swell of Penny and Desmond's theme in the Constant and the crescendo of Locke's as he screams at the Hatch and the Island in "Deus Ex Machina", There's No Place Like Home theme - and then the way he blended Life and Death, There's No Place Like Home and Jack's themes into the song at

I didn't even really realize Giacchino had scored the series until after I watched UP. Realizing he'd composed both those scores was mind blowing. He composed some absolutely wonderful themes for LOST

Sayid definitely would have been in my top 5 from season 1.

Limiting it just to Pilot characters? There really wasn't a single character I disliked. Favourite though from the pilot has to probably go to Locke, and then Charlie. I know Locke's role was very tiny in this pilot but man that smile with the orange - I just knew instantly he'd be one of the greats.

I originally heard stories of the Tibetan "workers" being used to build the stadiums in Qatar dying of heart attacks and from the heat while being overworked, and thought "how can FIFA really tolerate this"

Give it a few years and that team will be the best in MLS. Being bankrolled by Manchester City's sugar daddies will do that for a team.

England is totally already well equipped to host a World Cup again.

Gary is so right.
I have had at least 3 friends say that if they announced a 3DS remake of Majora's Mask they'd buy a 3DS later that same day.

Britain was far too focused on not falling themselves and using their air power to survive the Blitz to effectively use their air power on bombing campaigns against the Germans. With the fall of France, Britain and the Commonwealth were in a pretty dire place; there was even the beginning of plans between the US and

Thoroughly enjoyed that film; watched it in first year World History in university. It was kind of like the Holocaust version of 12 Angry Men. You find yourself cheering for the Nazis who are like "Guys this isn't a good idea let's not do this" and its absolutely crushing to see them slowly beaten down and dragged

So much this; being in the Hitler Youth did not make one a Nazi. Honestly if you weren't in the Hitler Youth if you were a young boy/tennager living in Germany at that time you would have made yourself a blatant target for persecution and discrimination.

I remember watching that exact same documentary in a high school history class. I felt physically ill and wanted to leave the room any time one of the deniers tried to use their selective logic to prove their point.

I'm just not convinced Ozil has the mental strength for the league. Joachim Low has referred to him as a "delicate flower" before, and I read somewhere (I think on the BBC) where Ozil admitted he wasn't used to a league where mid-low table teams go down to the big teams and don't just capitulate and give up.

Glen Johnson hasn't had a great year. Liverpool should worry more about defence than adding another player like Lallana anyway (the Crystal Palace collapse was absolutely embarassing defending). They could have been champions with a good back line. Cole would be a good addition. I think they need another dependable

Simeone is easily manager of the season in Europe.

Shaw seems to be heading to United (which would be a great replacement for Evra). Lallana to Liverpool I'm less cerain about; where would he play in a front line that already has Sterling, SAS, and Coutinho? Plus it seems like Pochettino goes to Spurs this summer, and I could see him wanting to bring Lalanna with him.

An FA Cup win is great for Arsenal, but it doesn't solve all of their problems. Olivier Giroud has his moments but I really don't think he's a viable option long term up front, and Yaya Sanogo frankly looked silly and awful in the cup final. Bendtner is just a running joke by this point.

Belgium are my dark horse team to go deep into the World Cup. They have a pretty manageable group and a team brimming with tons of young talent.

Ancelotti has gone and said Ronaldo and Bale will both be playing Saturday despite injury concerns.
