Drolz seems to be channeling Palin, given its ncoherent rambles about the "gotcha" liberal media and unearned sense of victimhood and superiority.

Not as heavy handed? You obviously don't remember all the long, impassioned (but well-written) monologues Julia Sugarbaker delivered against prejudice, narrow-mindedness, conservative politics, etc.

Me too. If anything, Lost makes being proved wrong (over and over) pretty damned entertaining.

Hm. I wonder if the hospital and Jack is meant to parallel the island and Jacob? The latter draws all the Losties to it in the regular timeline and the former draws (most of) them in the sideways timeline. More evidence that Jack will be the new Jacob.

As a fan of women's breasts, I would think you would prefer the shots of Sun's tits to Jin's…unless there's something you're not telling us, swibble.

(South) Korea is a westernized country. People don't walk around wearing han boks on a daily basis and they don't necessarily celebrate birthdays in a "traditional" fashion. Ji-Yeon's birthday party is not really worth noting.

I think the aphasia was meant to serve a storytelling purpose more than anything else. And complaining about the medical science behind it is a little odd given that you're watching a show in which magical and supernatural events occur regularly. You'll suspend your disbelief for smoke beasts who can assume the form…

I don't think you need to "unpack" the credit sequence vignettes at all. That implies that there are all kinds of interesting ambiguity there, but they're way too literal. It also weirds me out how none of the actors seem to have filmed their sequences together (or maybe it was an "artistic" decision to have everyone…

Why is it that you super-fans can't stand the slightest bit of criticism? I think I and others who have complained about the storytelling, acting and other issues with the show aren't off-base or complaining for the sake of it. I think people are giving this show too much of a free pass and it puzzles the hell out of…

I think they've really dawdled unnecessarily over certain plot points, but then, I'm not nearly as into exploring the V-world or as interested in Amanda Greystone as others are.

I completely forgot about the police investigation of the bombing and the Graystones. I guess the writers did too?

An epic saga about young Tauron boys rising through the ranks of organized crime: "Once Upon a Time in Caprica"

Barefoot Jim: I agree with every point you made.

Am I nuts or did I hear the government official telling Vergis that if he got "the company" he'd land the contract with the government. What?

Phodreaw, I would watch that show. I have no affinity for gratuitous teen bicuriosity, but at least the two characters are interacting rather than their usual MO of telling each other stuff we, the audience, already know.

I'm OK with the reveal. It makes the most sense. Don't know why they kept it a big secret, though.

I agree with you, alurin. Clarice is not much of a mastermind. Maybe all the space weed is affecting her concentration.

I agree. Daniel is one of the few compelling characters on the show, mostly due to Stoltz's acting. Actually, the older actors in general are very good, which unfortunately highlights how clumsy the teenagers can be (with the exception of the actress who plays Tamara). That scene with Zoe and Lacey was something…

I agree that this episode felt rushed, but I definitely don't agree that the pacing of the show has been OK up until now. I've been complaining from the start that the storylines were just dragging along, yet without being really developed (so I guess it was more like they were slowly jogging in place).

The jumping off the bridge thing was just super obvious. It felt less like fate and more like clumsy writing.
