So goddamn good. Really showcases what the comic medium specifically can do.

Was that the dumb Liam Neeson one?

I liked it a lot, but then I've had a huge mancrush on Wilson ever since Angels in America.

What annoyed me about Jack's plot, though it's admittedly a bit unfair on my part, is that the deal he so obviously should have made before the surgery was "First, tell me everything you know about the Island, then show me a video of Kate and Sawyer joining the other Oceanic survivors on the beach as your boat pulls

Charlie's non-heroin-fueled breakdown was pretty insufferable. The flashback scenes were compelling, but his skullduggery on the island felt like a huge derailment of his character arc, especially as it lead up to his greatest moment of heroism in the finale. Pure inconsequential wheel-spinning.

I don't know why they didn't include some Egyptian shit in the Early Island History episodes. There were hieroglyphics fucking everywhere!

But it's made clear in the next season what he told her. It wasn't Lost in Translation.

I would have been a lot more emotionally invested in the end of Season 5 if so many of the tragedies weren't dependent on uncharacteristically idiotic decisions.

I was really impressed with him in Downfall and Baader-Meinhof.

The Vatican Episode VI: A New Pope.

"Bernd Koch"

I want to believe those initials really stand for "Penis Dialogues" and "Vagina Monologues."

A Very Special Resolution, that is.

Diminishing Returns Guaranteed.

Must be the amphibian DNA. Some West African Bernhardts have been known to change into O'Neals in a single-writer environment.

When I was eight or nine (this was before Lost World), I wrote a sequel in which the dinosaurs from the can were all born and grew up as friends and managed to get off the island together. I didn't really know what embryos were.

You're, uh… tenacious.

Seriously? Better than the movie? The characters were either bland or detestable, the prose workmanlike, and the plotting scattershot. Granted it had some cool action scenes the movie skipped, but as a story it was much weaker.
