My personal wish for Emerson is to see him cast in the film version of 'August: Osage County' as Barbara's cheating husband Bill Fordham.

Fishing? I was going to incorporate my own fangirl series vision for this pair in the Newswire but decided to save it for the comments. I kid you not, I was going to describe a series in which O'Quinn arrives home with the day's catch and we see Emerson working in the garden wearing a straw hat (there are anthuriums)…

I don't see this as desperate; I see this as capitalizing on current star power. That kinda light fades fast in Hollywood.

RE: hair

I think after complacently watching as Ben stabbed him to death, Jacob really isn't going to care too much about complacently standing by as Jack smashes some mirrors, magical or not. In the hierarchy of things, I wonder what it would take to get Jacob to hold up his hands and be like, "Wait a minute, this I won't…

I know Lostpedia is claiming 108 is listed as "Wallace" but there is a screenshot link floating around on these boards with that number, and if you look closely, it doesn't seem likely that it is 108 because there does not seem to be a visible 1 preceding the 08. If it's hidden in shadow, it would look like 1 08…

It's not 08 degrees. If you look up at what would be 04 degrees, it says Lewis, not Locke. And it doesn't look like there is another number in shadow, so I think this was an oopsy on the part of the production that Locke isn't listed at 04. Also, "Wallace" is crossed out, so it can't be 108 if 108 is still in the…

This is exactly what I was thinking. This builds on Smokey's attempts to manipulate everyone into hating Jacob. First Ben, then Sawyer. I wonder if Smokey had some manner of affecting the lives of the Candidates list off the island the way Jacob did? What if that's what some of those Others off-island are good for?…

A proper Rabin headline for this news is "Motherfucker Jay Leno announces motherfuckers as guests for his motherfucking return."

Scotteb:

It is true I saw either film prints of these or Region 2 copies, but I believe there is a Region 1 of La Plaisir.

His English-language films are a good place to start. The James Masons are good (Caught and The Reckless Moment). Letter From An Unknown Woman is a little more in line with his earlier works (period pieces). La Plaisir and La Signora Di Tutti are my other favorites.

What if Kate's surname is missing because it was an "adopted" surname. Sam Austen wasn't her real father, that was Wayne. So what if his surname is up there? Sorry to burst Kate-hate bubbles. I don't like her either. But I am truly baffled by the exclusion, unless it ties in with bodyguarding like Ilana.

Elsewhere someone suggested Smokey scans people like Eko to see if they are candidates, and if they're not, who cares about them? Kill 'em. Bodyguards seem up for grabs.

I like this other theory that candidates have numbers and bodyguards do not, but they're still special. Explains Ilana not having a number, as well as the potential for one of the Kwons and Kate to take on such a role as a bodyguard. Money is on Jack. Remember Ben's comment last season when he told Jack to pack his…

Lone Audience:

Also, will there be a Smoke Monster smackdown if that's the case?

Unless the little boy was Jacob as others suspect. Since Smokey can take the Smoke form, and he's also trapped as Locke now, then I'm curious if Jacob has that capability. I like the idea that those bodies from the season finale last season were just candidates that had dropped by already. So they can't ever really…

So wait, is this what last week's torture test was for Sayid? Something would have happened if he's a candidate, or what did happen during the torture should not have happened if he's a candidate. And if Jarrah (I think we should all start calling him Jarrah for now on) is a candidate but is now, technically, dead,…

I like this theory a lot too. It cleans up the problem of "Well why didn't he just kill me when he had the chance? He had plenty of opportunities." Also can easily explain why others were just killed off by Smokey (Eko, the pilot) and why Locke got away.
