The only way this can work is if it's a remake of The Princess Bride. At the very least, I hope every scene has at least one very subtle line that's a callback to the previous films cause it'd be a funny wink because those events haven't happened yet so how could McClaine know he was foreshadowing while he does it?

So is the Coens reference for the night the UFO, a la "The Man Who Wasn't There"?

I really didn't love Season One until the episode that tied Oliver Platt to the money from the film. Before that, it was a slow like.

"Say it in Greek!"

Where's my godfucking Black and Decker Hydrator?

i'll accept it

Shit, George had me at From Dusk Til Dawn

Hey I can tell you about the time Tom Sizemore came to do a motion capture shoot for a video game but was hungover or in hard drug withdrawal mode, and ended up puking on camera when they were doing facial capture!

That's usually how they deliver…

For all we know, he had a falling out with his mother, the way his mother did.

Yes, ever since Desmond first mentioned the idea of a "leader" in Season 2, they've hinted both at the existence and non-existence of a leader.

The season 5 finale had two of the show's best and well-executed reveals, that Jacob was real and that Locke was the smoke monster.

Nope, because after Aaron grew up and went to college and lived life, he made his own bonds. So it goes.

I too would be annoyed if I misunderstood the ending of Lost to such a horrid degree

'Murkin!

It'd be funny if this ended up being seven seasons of McGyver still learning skills and therefore, not doing any McGyvering of anything until the last episode.
