Yep. Part of that is that, aside from Iron Man, none of the Avengers lived in NYC at the time IIRC. And, of course, Tony Stark isn't one to care about such things in any case. If he hadn't decided to choose NYC to build his latest disaster in the making, NYC never would have been the place for that final battle…I…

I love the description of Tommen as being ambivalent except in the case of screwing around. Makes me kind of wonder if Cersie screwed up her birth control and Robert actually WAS his father :-)

As they pointed out in the first one of these, you can at least turn the feature off. I did it back then and it's stayed off every time I've accessed one of these features.

Well, Beema's had the only logical reason I could think of. Ethan's spent a LOT of time off-island and would probably be able to answer suspicious questions and blend in better than most of the Others.

Yeah, considering the heritage of the creator/producer, that's fairly hard to figure.

Well, I think this is the first of a few times that Jack admits his "bedside manner" leaves a lot to be desired. Sadly, I think it's one of the failures of the series and one of the reasons the character never really caught on as the show's "hero," until after the (LOST time) events of "The Life and Death of Jeremy…

Yeah, I remember a lot of confusion about those two back in the day. It was so much a running joke that "What's up, Docs?" became somewhat of a regular thing.

About halfway through the show, that was brought up a couple of times on the newsgroup, but for that to happen would still come back to Jacob. Assuming you accept that 815 happened because Desmond failed to push the button because Inman decided to pick that exact time to leave the hatch with an obvious slash in his…

Oh, most certainly when it comes to LOST. For me, anyway. But, like I said, that only applies to the first or second viewing. I've seen most of these episodes three or more times each, though it's been a few years and my memory's going, which is why I love following it again with others here.

Oh, I hear you. But if you've ever tried to watch Smallville's earlier seasons, you know FF through certain scenes isn't going to cost you anything :-)

Yeah, Dante went a bit overboard on that one. He had a phase right after the first film where, after the disappointments that were Explorers, Innerspace, and The Burbs, he overcorrected. It was like the bar scene from the first film stretched across 45 minutes or so.

Here's hoping Dick Miller lives long enough to get at least a cameo.

Yeah, unless Ben had a "list" from the all-seeing Jacob, it is quite a stretch.

After I watched this one earlier this week, I went back and re-watched the "Solitary" Hurley golf B-plot from Season One. After backsliding a bit in S2, it was really, really great to see the producers getting back to what ultimately made the character so memorable.

If so, your memory is better than mine. Doesn't take much :-)

I hardly ever FF through my first viewing of anything. Upon, second viewing, is another matter altogether.

Yeah, at least we got a pretty decent answer as to why Ben sent Goodwin to the Tailees. He was hoping he'd get offed so he'd have Juliet all to himself.

Yep, that one made a huge splash with the folks I corresponded with.

Well, that's a no brainer. Even if you loathe Nikki and Paolo, "Expose" was the only decent episode that they really factored into.

Neat. All snark aside, it's hard to argue with the first two, no matter what metrics we choose to use.
