RIP Charlotte
Did anyone else like Charlotte? I thought she was cute and smart and about twice as likable as Juliette. (Plus she had that great accent!) I was sorry to see her go so soon.

Did Rousseau ever meet Jin? You would think she would remember him… Something like, "Hey…. isn't that the mysterious Korean dude we fished out the water after our shipwreck? The fellow who saved my life and then *fucking disappeared*?" Crazy or no, that's pretty hard to forget…

I don't think Christian Shepard's Jacob, but I do think that when the island encounters a dead person, it can co-opt the corpse and use it as a medium through which to speak. ("it" being Jacob/the island/the "Smoke Monster") So when the body of Jack's father's falls into the island's lap, it adopted is as a convenient…

Its cold in here…
Has anyone taken a moment to mention how spectacular that little flashback moment was in which Steve remembers how Roger talked him out of bringing his sweater to the restaurant?

Not you too, Jennifer C.!
None of these women would ever have trouble getting a date. EVER.

I never claimed these books are good — I'm just saying that self-publishing produces the occasional success story. And "Still Alice" is supposed to have some literary merit, although I doubt it's going to win a Booker Prize or anything.

Random thought
Do you suppose it's the old WWII-style Dharma camp with Halpert who kill of the rest of Danielle's people? I wonder if we'll get a look at that conflict.

The music playing when Sun opened the letter was pretty overbearing. Unless that sucker was about to explode, it really didn't need such an in-your-face build up of dramatic tension.

Poor Jin. He just learns English and now has to start studying French.

Nice work!

We're not presuming all these so-called Dharma Babies were conceived on the island, are we? Or are the fertility problems a recent phenomenon?

Maybe the freighter was in range of the time shift after all. It's perfectly possible that Jin's simply the sole survivor of the wreck. And since only living things are included in the time jumps, the rest of the wreckage and dead bodies from the freighter just got left behind.

I agree that mind-jumping is the problem that affected Desmond (and probably Daniel's old lab assistant, tho I'm not sure how come it wasn't deadly in her case.) The nosebleeds suffered by Juliette, Charlotte and Miles are probably a similar problem, but I'm not sure if they require a constant to heal it, because…

Timeline confusion
Actually, aren't the Oceanic Six in the present — or maybe even the recent past — rather than the future? Thee castways still on the island have only been there a couple of months, right? starting from the year the series debuted.

The picture is funny, but his expression of righteous anger makes it much funnier.

Self-publishing success stories
Eragon by Christopher Paolini and Still Alice by Lisa Genova were both originally self-published, and both are now making their authors famous and rich.

No one should be excused for going off like a maniac like that. I've heard it reported multiple times that Peter Jackson only hires actors who aren't hotheads — and you hear constantly about how everyone wants to work with people like Tom Hanks and Steve Carrell because they're actually friendly, professional people —…

*is more unprofessional. Pardon the typo.

I don't care how unprofessional the other person is, loosing your cool with a nearly four-minute profanity laden rant is even more professional. And if the director of photograph blew millions by spoiling a scene, Bale seems just as eager to blow millions more by insisting on another take before he cools down.
