Angsting-up Mike’s character is a terrible idea.

I loved IT, and I hate this kinja system too.

That we even have to ask shows you how bad things have gotten.

Someone has to stop Smokey first, and Jack's willing to do that…

but for the latter, I don't think the BiB does seem resigned.

When that last piano note hits as Jack is looking up, I think the screen should have gone black and the L O S T title card should silently appear.

if the show didn't compress that time into what we see, it might be just a lot of sitting around and waiting …

I agree with Jonah Hill as he was in Superbad, but with Wolves of Wall Street skeeviness. Also, a modern Harold Lauder would be an "internet tough guy" hanging out in unsavory subreddits which I won't name. It would really ramp up the sense of discomfort and danger in his and Frannie's interactions.

Jorge Garcia as Tom Cullen. No, hear me out. I can't see anyone else who could pull off the sweetness and self-sacrifice. It helps that Garcia is in his 40s, too - Tom Cullen is supposed to be older-but-seems-younger because of his innocence.

Sure:, if the FSW is actually a pocket dimension, the generator room could be a place to get it started. Then it got fleshed out, so to speak, as the survivors "populated" it after their deaths.

Jack has Hurley pretty much crazy-boxed."

Now in 2007, Widmore is asking him to do something similar.

the writers struggled with her more than any main character, once she had Aaron.

Hurley that they're both too busy with their lives to be meeting women…

Thanks, although I have to get Stay with Her finished shortly here. ;-)

I happened to see this in the thread (was searching for "Sun's garden.")

What if [Jacob's partner didn't] want to live forever like Richard?

"the past doesn't matter." If Jacob was eavesdropping on the beach in the beginning, he probably smiled upon hearing that, thinking that he finally found the people who won't be corrupted by MiB.

I was soooo wrong. I thought you'd pick Locke. Not sure why; it's just that he was one of the few main characters left.

Oh, I don't mind sad at all. "Mess It All Up" tears me up *every time* but I never get tired of it.
