Those are some choice in mourning shots guys!

I was thinking this to myself last night after watching. I felt like in season 1 there was some suggestion that Forrest was being forced to do the show for reasons that were never made clear. Specifically there's a conversation in an early episode between Forrest and Grant that we catch the tail end of which suggests…

A great list, but as many others have said, lose Drunk Girls and Give It Up and replace with Someone Great and Dance Yrself Clean and it's a perfect list.

I believe Pitchfork confirmed it will stay up as an archive.

I may not have seen a more devastating scene this year so far on TV than the end of "Pimento". And that counts the burning on GOT and that meat grinder of a finale they had. Maybe it's also because GOT reached absurd levels of cruelty on a weekly basis this season, at a certain point it just didn't stick that much.…

Alright I'll bite…

First off let me thank Myles and Noel for these awesome recaps. I remember when I started to read TV club, back during season 5 of the show, one of the first things I looked for on the site were the recaps for the seasons prior. I was of course a bit disappointed to see that AV club had only been regularly recapping…

My father, sister and I had a weekly ritual of watching Liquid Television on MTV every Wednesday night when he visited. Certainly not the most obscure thing, but no one else at school ever knew what I was talking about when trying to explain Aeon Flux. Hell I was 8 or 9 at the time, I'm sure I had no idea what was…

**Spoilers**

The first visit to the cabin be the most intense "holy-shit-what-just-happened!?!?!" scene in the whole show for me. Or at least it was the most surprised I think I ever got from LOST.

That proverb does nail it though. Locke's problem was that he focused so much on his destiny and purpose, on the end point, that he was easily manipulated by the promise of it. He really should have just kept chopping wood so to speak, instead of rushing onto the perceived next step towards his destiny.

Goddamn Kevin Tighe is such an amazing slime ball in this episode! As a flashback only character up to this point, they really get a lot more out of the him before offing him.

"I also think that Locke's willingness to con Sawyer into killing Cooper for him directly leads Locke to his own fate."

Aside from the end of Season 5 when she makes some very poorly motivated decisions, Juliet is probably my favorite Lost character not introduced in the first season.

I always took it that Smokey couldn't fly very high and that part of him/it always had to be close to the solid ground, like when it towers over Eko in "The Cost of Living"; He's very tall, but part of it is still just above the ground. This also helps explain why he couldn't just smoke-hover out across the sea and…

"This group is led by beloved and universally distinguished Co-Head Dreamer Nelson “Big Head” Bighetti, who was co-founder, principal innovator and chief visionary of Pied Piper. He is just three credits shy of an undergraduate degree in computer science from the University of Oklahoma. He owns a boat."

Glad to hear you'll give it another go! It's a very odd book, but I really love it. Unlike anything I've ever read, and only enhanced by the connective tissue it shares with LOST. Desmond being stuck in a loop of pressing the button while reading it is such a great bit of literary allusion. It's also pretty short, so…

God I loved The Third Policeman. I read it in an Irish Lit course in college after LOST had ended, and had totally forgotten it being one of the books featured on the show. It's a great book in it's own right; sharp, satirical, wonderfully odd, and darkly comic. Having a hatch in the earth where time stops and an all…

A really terrific episode, and one of Season 3's many great installments. Looking over an episode list for the remainder of this season, and I forgot it wraps up with the amazing run of The Brig, The Man Behind the Curtain, Greatest Hits, and then Through the Looking Glass. This for my money is the strongest run of…

What about "Across The Sea"? From some of the commentary I recall following that episode you'd have though Darlton literally went from fan to fan slapping them in the face (the DVD commentary with them on this episode is terrific). Or at least that was the tenor at the time, people were a bit gun shy heading that…
