*a show like Lost

You raise an interesting issue about a writer's responsibility to the audience Dowd. Frankly I'm in the camp that believes the writer, or better put in the case of tv shows - the showrunner (or showrunners as is the case with Darlton), has no responsibility to his or her audience. They have a responsibility to…

Libby had a nervous breakdown because her husband died. That's why she was in the mental hospital and gave away her boat to Desmond. There. Mystery solved.
I didn't learn that from anything. Just reading between the lines.

I'm not saying that Smokey is behind the ghosts, min alskaren, but that their agenda might be in line with his. I mean the whispers only ever showed up before bad things happened right? Why do we have any reason to believe that they are acting in Hurley's best interest?

Although it also says in that article that it the hospital is just outside of Los Angeles. It's just an annoying mistake.

From Lostpedia: In "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham", a location card states the Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute is in "Santa Rosa, CA", which is over 400 miles away and many hours' drive from Southern California.

The Boy
So NotLocke was again sortof surprised that someone else could see the boy. We know that Richard couldn't right? (I'm not sure if I remember that correctly), but Sawyer could presumably because of his Candidate status. Does that mean that Desmond is a candidate?

I loved the look that NotLocke and Jack gave each other at the end of the episode. I'd forgotten that they hadn't met yet.

The Whisper Ghosts
So do we have any reason to believe that the whisper ghosts are on Jacob's side? Hurley sure is just following them blindly, but it seems to me that if they are the ghosts of people trapped on the island, then they might have their own agenda, namely to get off of it like NotLocke.

Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa is about 10 hours north of LA. So this fajita field trip the mental hospital took sure was a long one. And Hurley took Libby with him back down to LA for a date, I guess…
Argh, these are the things I notice now that I live in California.

Stupid Science
Let's go burn down the observatory so that this'll never happen again!

Wait wait wait…Oprah has a network?

haha, yep. My only claim to fame.

OH Man, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show. Watch all of it. It is never not hilarious. Not even witty shows like Arrested Development make me guffaw through an episode the way Peep Show does. and so wonderfully crass. The British can get away with way more.

Hey, I know him
I went to highschool with his daughter. We were pretty good friends. Actually now she's in movies and television. Crazy family. Her mom was always baking us cookies while we were drinking and getting stoned, and Jules Feiffer once made me eggs in the morning that were pretty good.

also, midichlorians.

The promo for Dr. Linus really pissed me off. The narrator said something like, "Next week, Ben finally meets his demise" which made me really mad because I thought, "well he isn't really gonna die cause they wouldn't reveal that" which took some of the suspense away from the actual episode. And if he had died, I…

I don't know that the bomb sunk the island but it seems to me like they made it clear in this episode that it certainly is responsible for the diverging timelines. But even though it went off in 1977, it makes sense that even more stuff before that year was changed in the alternate timeline because of how much history…

Simpsons
The Simpsons premiered when I was a5 and it's been a part of my life from season 1 up to now. Such a constant that I will probably be sobbing when the last episode finally airs because it will certainly be the end of an era.
It's obviously gone beyond childhood, but certainly the early seasons were a big part…

Death Proof is easily the better movie. PlanetTerror is a pleasant enough distraction while watching it, but it's instantly forgettable. I think Death Proof has Kurt Russell's best performance, the hottest lapdance on film, and an incredible chase sequence.
