I'm becoming more and more convinced that "Brother" is as close as The Man in Black has ever come to having a name. They're not playing some silly withholding game with his name, he just never had one. Thus referring to him as "Esau" seems pretty pointless. The only name he's ever had on screen is Adam. Can we just…

Wow, I still don't care about Bible stories.

staircar1 FTW!

I could have done without the flashFORWARD (because that's what it was) as well. On the other hand, my girlfriend didn't realize what was going on until she saw it, so I'm not sure it wasn't necessary. A callback to the 6th episode works for me without any assistance because I've seen each episode 5 or 6 times. Some…

Is it possible he doesn't HAVE a name? Jacob's mother named him, but never named Adam (which is what I will call him, henceforth). Is it possible The Mother never named Adam either? How would he roll with The Original Others for 30+ years with no name?

I usually read the Heroes reviews here at The AV Club, even though I don't watch the show because it clearly sucks. Those reviews are funny. The reviews of V, a show that also clearly sucks and I also don't watch, are rarely funny. I think the reviewer needs to embrace the fact that he doesn't like this show. The…

I would totally watch a Nikki and Paulo prequel spin-off. Why? Because I'm a tool for LOST and anything related to it.

@Mq Lafayette: I mostly agree with you, insofar as the locations being picked for ease of access in Universe B, rather than Universe A. On the other hand, I don't think "it wasn't exactly difficult to place the Universe A wave generators" is a fair assessment. Dude had to fake his own death. I like to think, even in…

I was also wondering about that. Good to know. For the record, I believe an A- was just right. I mostly loved it but thought some of it was just a tad too convenient. The stoner exploring the Warehouse of Death, for example, or Olivia blowing the shape shifter's brains out because he DARED use a cell phone. In other…

Yeah, from the profile of that honker we saw through the breathing-mask-whatsit, I'm pretty sure it's the Walternate.

Treme is decidedly NOT bitTorrent proof. It's a little tricky, the "exTREME" thing does pop up a lot (with lots of porn), but it's there for the taking. And I took it. I'll buy the DVDs when they're available, just like I did with The Wire and The Sopranos. It's substantially more cost effective than paying for HBO…

As for big things next week, Damon posted on Twitter earlier:

As far as the Eko death scene, I hope they don't bother. He hated Hawaii, so he quit the show and the writers were forced to sever a limb. I'm ok with just letting that go.

Abed and Jeff seem as mesmerized as I am…

Other than Kenneth's "donkey moments" being way, WAY over the top, I thought it was a pretty decent episode.

Yummish, I'm going with dynamite lighting Jack as the best Jack.

"Want to try another stick?"

Why are we talking about Cloverfield again?

Funnel cake is one of those things I eat (literally) once a year and I'm just fine with that one time being a fair or a trip to the beach.
