I was wondering that too. It seemed as though the two consciousnesses synced up, but are operating independently of each other.

Randomly leaving the stage and coming back in native american headdress…that's edgy.

Many of the characters have mommy issues. In addition to those mentioned above, Locke's mom told him he was immaculately conceived, Shannon's stepmom cut her off from her inheritance, and Ana Lucia's mom was also her boss - they had a Jack/Christian thing going. The show has always revolved around the relationships…

These reviews have been a great addition to the AV Club. Thanks so much for writing them. I love that TOS is being introduced to people who may not have given it a chance otherwise. Very much looking forward to the TNG write ups! :)

CELERY GENERALS
One of the great things about Tom Green was the way he gave kids something to do when they were bored - like a safer version of Jackass. There are a bunch of homemade Ghost Ride the Whip videos on you tube and I definitely played Celery Generals at least once. It's too bad his original show didn't…

I agree. Last week's episode wasn't nearly as strong as this week's - although I did love the "Canadian dove" bit - and it was definitely one of the better Simpsons-back-in-time attempts.

I *loved* the 4/4 Strauss and the ensuing waltz failure.

@Inle - I tend to like and agree with your theory, but then why does Jacob bring people to the island??

@Swiggers - Also interesting was the fact Ethan was so reluctant to give Claire a needle in the 2004 timeline. I remember him being pretty stab-happy on the island, what with constantly sneaking around giving her injections against her will.

I think it would help if the Rift moved. We could get some mumbo jumbo reason that doesn' t really have to make sense, and the relocation of the Rift, preferably to somewhere interesting, would give Jack a reason to move there and recruit a new team.

I had the opposite AI experience with the Redcliffe battle. If you run away from the lower area back to the first area with all the backup and then back towards the lower area, the undead will just be standing in a clump by the fire. You can easily pull them one at a time with arrows even though you're just slightly…

Never put salt in your eyes…Never put salt in your eyes…N-ne-never put never put put salt put salt put salt put-put-put-put…N-ne-never…

@ElDan - if a distracted two-year-old in the theatre is such a huge disaster for you, maybe you should stop going to kid's movies. Fuck your perspective re: two-year olds having "nowhere near the capacity to understand a movie" - they have just as much a right to be there as you, they're not dogs.

Yeah, a lot of countries now have multi-coloured money with depictions of culturally important figures and activities. Get with the times, America.

Tim Horton's coffee is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike coffee. It has it's own totally distinct, weird taste and only resembles coffee in the most basic way. I have a lot of friends who love it, but that's because it's the first coffee they ever had and they're used to it. Someone like Barney, who's used to…

I just listened to the samples on Amazon as well. From what I could hear, the backgrounds sound like something a computer would write and the vocals run the gamut from stupid to weird. She can release something like this because people are interested in her status as an historical figure, not because she's an…

This argument is the reason I like the term 'speculative fiction' - it covers the range of what we could maybe call sci-fi that's more about ideas than science without pigeonholing it too much. I could argue that all sci-fi is speculative, but not all speculative fiction is science-based. The genre encompasses…

I know a roller derby girl, and while I must agree that they do legitimately train hard, get hurt and bond as a team, I must also agree there is also a strong 'ooh, look at us be all sexy' aspect that seems kind of at odds with the 'we don't give a shit' attitude. The athleticism is real, but I find it somewhat…

It felt like Robin's character was totally compromised for the sake of creating random conflict. Why wouldn't she be cool with it? He's always been a vocal enthusiast of strip joints and she seemed to have no problem before. And wasn't one of her points about why Canada is awesome that Canada has fully-nude…

So…I live in Canada, where we actually have this. The medical services premium is about $50 a month and usually paid by your employer, even if you work at starbucks or mcdonalds. If you make under 19K or so a year, it's free.
