I don’t know. I think the explanation given at the time was that killing just Ana Lucia didn’t have enough oomph, but killing Libby added to the shock of that scene. But that basically amounts to an admission of fridging.

From a certain point of view, nobody did, since everybody who mattered made it to the sideways world.

That’s not what I’m saying.

The story I heard is that after his father died, he just wanted out. And that they had to graft aspects of what would have been his arc onto other characters.

Lindelof is at least willing to reflect and realize he probably was a dick.

Daniel Dae Kim was popped for DUI and he wasn’t written out.

It’s hard to read bad faith into Lindelof trying to contact him.

This bums me out. It seems like Carlton Cuse was the bigger problem of the two and, at least based on how he responded to Maureen Ryan’s queries through a PR person rather than straight-on, less willing to engage in real introspection about it.

I can’t believe they even nuked Marvel content. That’s absurd.

He actually had a contract and Perlmutter decided to ignore it.

Something she’s said she learned from having been on the sidelines of her sisters’ career is that “no” is a full sentence.

Reef Blower Simulator when?

Cinemark already does the same thing.

Makes me think of the Pawn Stars episode where a guy brought in a stack of mint Charizards and Rick didn’t know what to do with them.

Yeah, I don’t think he has the toolset to host TDS. OTOH, people thought Lorne had lost it when he picked Conan. You never know.

I’m really happy for them and I hope Sega voluntarily recognizes them.
