Rooney Mara is a product of a dynastic marriage between two powerful and corrupt families commanding armies of impoverished young men raised from childhood to battle against one another for incredible wealth and glory. Yeah, they happen to be football teams, but not much has changed.

Definitely the least masterful one.

They've been working on updating their classic "Two Trillion-Year-Old Man" routine for a few millennia now. It'll go great as an opening act for MULTIVAC's Last Question & Answer Session, live at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

Yeah, the Danish/Dutch thing wasn't the funny kind of mistake. I don't get why PFT didn't give Wengert a chance to fix it right away since it seemed like he and the audience seemed aware that it was wrong immediately.

Say what you will about the tenets of Kree fundamentalist imperialist revanchism, but at least it's an ethos.

Oh, I thought you meant something else, not the whole messing with time and fate thing.

Can you refresh me on that? I tried looking up the reference on Lostpedia but all I learned is that Eloise may be the daughter of Amelia Earhart after she crashed on the Island. This goddamn show…

Considering that Eloise was with the Others before Widmore and Ben's tenure of secretive leadership, and she also had access to the Lamp Post and all the physics research on the Island that Daniel and Dharma did, she's probably in the best position of anyone but Jacob to know what's going on.

I don't think the Island's purpose is something that can be explained in one sentence, and the more mystical characters on the show are of this opinion as well, so they don't try. Empirically speaking, it's an incredibly powerful thing that has existed for a long time, is mostly passive but demonstrably has some broad…

Hey, look, Rabin went into pretty deep debt before realizing that he wasn't earning royalties on the phrase "Manic Pixie Dream Girl".

That sounds like a ass-covering retcon after some writer mistakenly referenced Bothans and the first Death Star.

It means this was a project with deep, complex ideas that Bradley Cooper was really passionate about as an artist. Like, what if he took a drug that unlocked 100% of his brain, and it gave him the power to make women's clothes fall off?

If only all the superheroes who invented miraculous power sources would share them with the public, oil companies wouldn't be able to do evil shit.

But we have to wait for a review of The Producers on Blu-Ray to get the more proper "Adolf Elizabeth Hitler" tag.

My theory is that Widmore got rich by dealing with the Hanso Group who wanted his knowledge of the Island, and his influence may have led to Hanso turning a blind eye to Dharma getting purged and their Hanso-funded resources usurped. Some of the supplementary materials connect Widmore Industries with Hanso, and in the…

Could this bring the "Cerberus vents" marked on the Blast Door Map back into play? The old fan theory was that the Monster used them, whatever they are, to move underground, but we never see why it would need to do so when it can move anywhere above ground. It is connected to the earth, trying to pull Locke…

I don't think actual science is going to give any credence to Lost's science, so we have to look at how the story treats it. Is the island a mystical place, or a patch of pent-up electromagnetic energy that warps reality? Different characters viewed it differently, and in spite of all the unexplained mysticism…

It was supposed to be a combination of machine and cinema, but the guy who came up with it was under the impression that it was spelled 'cinima'. In retrospect this should have been the first warning sign.
