yeah I thought the promo for the finale would be all sorts of epic. Instead it was…weird.

Expectations
Noel, I think you might be setting yourself up for disappointment by hoping that the story turns out a certain way. One of the reasons that the finale will be so divisive is that so many people have their own ideas about how the show should end, and when it doesn't end the way that they were expecting,…

Well that's nice
but Indy IV's problems went well beyond Shia LaBeouf. I'd like to hear Spielberg make a statement.

The second Final Destination is easily the best one and the only one that really seems to have fun with it's ridiculous premise. That movie doesn't need to be remade, but the series could have followed with more like it.

Trotsfield, I don't buy your argument.

Generation Y
That awful Generation Y moniker really stuck, huh? I've always hated that. As if the only thing that distinguishes my generation is that we followed X.

Deathly Hollows was my favorite of the books, but I agree with Zack that the deaths at the end was excessive. I just remember a lot of characters getting short shrift. It was like," oh and Harry stumbled over the bodies of Lupin and Tonks. Oh and remember that cute Colin Creevy kid with the camera? He died too."

Yes on Dobby. For some reason, even though I didn't really care for him throughout most of the series, his death was one of the few that got my eyes watery. I still can't explain why that damn house elf got to me.

I don't think Charlie got to me because half the season had been leading up to it. Really all I thought was Finally.
Sun and Jin on the other hand I didn't believe were gonna die because I assumed they would make it out to be with their daughter. So there was a slowly dawning realization for me during that scene that…

LOST
Juliet and Sun and Jin really got to me. But not Charlie.

The Sopranos
We all knew it was coming, but that didn't make Adrianna's death any less brutal in one of the best episodes of the series. Especially the way Silvio takes care of it, and that scene that comes just before where you think that maybe she gets away. It killed me.

Sigh
I guess people aren't tired of superheroes yet? Alright, whatever.

Colonel, I totally agree. The way I see it the Smoke Monster is what happened when the pure glowy cave light was corrupted by the Man in Black's own human and less pure light. This is why Smokey is still essentially the Man in Black even tho his body is dead. He still wants the same things and Jacob still relates to…

Nice reading. Likening the light to the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders is a really good way to think about it, Lone Audience.

I feel like the whole name issue is more a fan created issue than one that is actually in the show or necessary to it. I had actually never really bothered with that question until the threads started to pop up every week. I feel like it grew out of a need to just call Smokey something that everyone could agree on,…

The flashback to season 1 was definitely necessary, or else the internet would forever be arguing about whether they actually are Adam and Eve. People would've been all, "but that could have been a different cave" or something. I thought it was nice of them to at least make that particular mystery clear.

Allison Janney says that the same light that is in the cave is in all of us, but that if you went into the cave, something terrible would happen to you. I think that Smokey is the light that used to be inside MIB, only now it's corrupted.
I read it as a very literal allegory. This light, source of power that all men…

ooh I remember that Cosby show episode
Cliff was always trying to teach us about Jazz. Or having babies.

1906
Hmm, a fourth Mission Impossible could be a necessary evil if it allows the studios to trust Bird with directing his dream project: 1906 about the San Francisco earthquake.

::sigh:: this does not need to be turned into a film. But I think you're right.
