I was waiting for some crazy time-bending character to appear during Ricardo's 1800s time.

Best episode: Nestor Carbonell
Most consistent: Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson (but only by default since Richard gets so little screen time)
Who is rocking this season? Terry O'Quinn

I'm all for gushing. I, too, was blown away by his acting. He clearly put it all out there for his big episode, and joined the ranks of Emerson and O'Quinn by not only carrying pretty much a whole 42 minutes (something few on this show have been allowed to do), but by revealing such a range in how he portrays his…

To defend the credibility of this series just a bit, Scream 3 was written by someone who is not Kevin Williamson. Ehren Kruger. The Kruger part is not a joke.

Wasn't it established that even if a dwarf is female, you can't tell?

Maybe Mirkwood elves?

I can top that. Read 'The Hobbit' as a 7th grader. 8th grade English teacher assigned it. During my junior year of high school I took both the junior- and senior-level English courses, and the curriculum for the senior class included reading 'To Kill A Mockingbird.' I love that book but damn if that's not going…

I'm still leaning toward Jacob meaning the candidates were coming, but the sub also makes sense. Then again, the sub would mean Widmore is for Team Jacob, but Ilana and friends had kidnapped Miles back in LA and claimed Widmore was bad. So what the hell is going on?

Well then can I go back to criticizing Rebecca Mader? Because I totally forgot until Ye Olde Bemus'd Ghost mentioned it above that she went through that drawer with purpose. If the character was really looking for a t-shirt, why go rooting through his drawer like she's looking for evidence?

Ben comes second to Sawyer in lie talents because Ben only tells lies while Sawyer mixes it up. The key to effective lying is making it believable. Everybody expects Ben to lie. With Sawyer, you think he's telling it to you straight because that's the kind of man he seems to be. But he might be playing you at the same…

Ooh, Amy Ryan. I like that.

Honestly, I was never a Charlotte fan so I'm sure that's part of it. I didn't hate her the way I'm gunning for Claire to take out Kate in every episode. But I agree, flat is the right word for her. The lack of a Charlotte-centric episode I'm sure factored in. I didn't get enough of her character to care what happened…

If Smocke's crazy mother is ever introduced, they better get Mary McDonnell.

I posted this below. The cold open girl was Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, most famous for playing Taylor Vaughn in 'She's All That' and a long-time role on 'Nash Bridges.'

It would be a wild experiment to see how well a large chunk of the same cast from one show can change gears and act together on another show. I say a network should let this test commence.

On account of Rabin's THEN That's What They Called Music appearing today, I couldn't help being tickled to see 'She's All That's Taylor Vaughn in bed with Sawyer tonight. He's a step up from Brock Hudson.

I would have preferred an Ana Lucia guest appearance instead of Charlotte. It would be like Miles telling Sawyer, "Hey, I have this friend at another precinct. Her name is Ana Lucia." Would have made for a funny reminder of S2. Charlotte did feel throwaway, but at least it served to establish the tidbit about Chang…

There is a button you press with the word "Submerge" written on it.

Mommy issues?
I was intrigued by Smocke's explanation to Kate for why he's screwed up: he has mommy issues. For a show built around everyone's daddy issues, Smocke hints at a possibly true, possibly fake origins story that doesn't follow the usual pattern. I'm going to go with it and believe he was telling Kate the…

I outed my age and didn't check up on comments until now? I knew I should have come back here earlier after posting. It is true. I'm Phipps' bastard child. He never expected going on a date to see 'Adventures In Babysitting' one night would result in me. His is a regular Lifetime movie-of-the-week story.
