Autotune…
Auto-tune might very well be the worst thing that has even happened to music.

Great episode
I highly enjoyed this episode just as I did the season overall. Sure it stretched out the story much more than needed, but in the grand scheme of things, we've seen ALL of our characters progress into the people that they'll be when they grow up. It put things in motion and brought Ted where he needs to

Lost?
Sounds like the synopsis of Lost recounted by a drunk who's never actually seen the show.

I felt the same way but remember, this is Iowa.

I'm starting to reconsider all the theories. Maybe free will doesn't change the future drastically, but minutely. Maybe the whole "rock makes bigger waves then a pebble" metaphor applies. By dropping the bomb, they changed the details of the pond - but the pond still exists.

Body count
Has anyone re-watched the episode to get a body count? Seriously, lots of Dharma peeps are pushing daisies now.

I'm not sure that they will all be back together…. YET. Remember when Richard told Sun that he remembered Jin because he remembered watching all the Dharma people die? I imagine he was talking about the purge.

I don't think we've seen the end of Jacob. This whole show is about resurrection and I feel pretty confident that we'll see him come back. Black vs White, good vs evil, thematic conflict is going to rock the crap out of S6.

Recount of who Jacon touches
this has been discussed all over the boards here, but let's just put it all in one place.

I totally agree. We all know that Sawyer is a scrappy fighter, but a kick to the nuts? I thought it seemed very out of character for him.

That would suck something terrible. But I really doubt it. I think Darlton and the crew realize the importance of having Hurley's character alive. He acts as a balance to the insanity of the show. Even when he's "insane," he's keeping people grounded.

A rehash of previous comments
My wife and I try our hardest to not watch Lost when it starts. We DVR it and skip the commercials, pause the episode to talk theories, etc.

No mention of her on Entourage?
I liked her brief role in the show. Although E totally blew it… idiot.

What's up with Daniel?
I dont even know how many weeks Daniel has been gone. We know he's in the past working on the Swan - and we have characters like Miles who mention he's no longer there, but he must have been around long enough to teach Miles all these time travel paradox things…

Not meant to be gimmicky
I haven't yet seen the movie, but when I was flying back from Mexico on Monday I was reading an article in the Sunday NYT (3.22 edition) with an interview with the filmmakers. They said that they were working to make the movie 3-Dimensional, not 3-D.

Where will the season end?
I've read interviews with Keifer that he wants Jack to die eventually. He has said that while he loves the role, eventually Jack has to die (and actually stay dead this time).

There are geek groups for everything, I just think that "train geeks" would be far outnumbered by your traditional "geek groups" ie, everything BBT has associated our 4 geeks with thus far.

@Symmetriad… I very much agree. Its not fair to hate on Cornell for not remaking an album from 15+ years ago. I actually heard Cornell on NPR yesterday and he said the same thing. He basically said he'd be sad and disappointed if he hadn't grown and tried new things. If music from the same artists doesn't evolve,

Keeps getting better
My wife and I are dedicated HIMYM fans, and last year we started watching BBT as our nothing-else-to-watch lead-in to HIMYM. We turned into BBT fans pretty quick and I have to say that the show has consistently gotten better. The writers have done a great job developing the characters.

Not so good
Just from hearing this one song I can tell this album missed its target. An interesting concept, but failed execution.
