Wait, aren't those all Joe Dante movies?

So
How is this related to LOST?

See, I don't like the music being performed on Idol, but I like watching it anyway. It's still a good competition, and there are objectively good singers who make it though, even if they generally don't win.

The iTunes version (which I watched) was dubbed. And I think the dub used the bad subtitles, but I can't be certain of it.

SouthOfHeaven: I said something similar in an earlier thread. The Island is Smokey's prison, Jacob is the warden, and the Templefolk are the guards.

I've thought it would be a good idea to move the Super Bowl for years now. Or declare the Monday after a holiday.

But at least we're keeping it insular. You don't have to come on in here and listen to it.

Noel, that's pretty much my theory, too. Ben has been manipulated by Smokey, maybe Richard, too.

That's not exactly comparing two cinematic gems.

Okay, I kept reading and reading to make sure somebody had mentioned Beetlejuice. But, really, it's an aberration.

And what's home? Is home the temple? Or is home somewhere off the Island, and Smokey is looking to escape? Maybe the Island is a prison for Smokey, and Jacob was the warden.

What if it was never Jacob's cabin? The only reason we think of it as Jacob's cabin is because Ben told us it was (Ilana just said "he" hasn't been here for a long time), and Ben might not have known he wasn't dealing with Jacob. Is it possible that it was supposed to be a prison for Smokey?

Nope. I definitely made the Beetlejuice reference last night, as did somebody else I know.

It does appear that a lot of the episodes are going to be plays on previous episode titles. Next week is "What Kate Does."

Noel's recaps are great, and the comment section is superb.

I just hope that the season doesn't end up being "Hey, look, the Island wasn't so bad! You were all gonna have shitty lives!" I think that the writers can rise above that, though.

And it gave us Sugar Man!

William Sanderson was Oldham in "He's Our You," where he interrogated Sayid for the Dharma Initiative.
