    Lost: Season Four

    It was definitely a flashback: the discovery of the fake plane wreckage was in the newspaper.

    Lost: Season Four

    Not to mention Jack tries to throw himself off a bridge in the season 3 finale and a car wreck happens right near him which prevents him from doing that. The producers discussed this in their last podcast, saying that a lot of those instances were actually early examples of the island not...

    Sure, but he also did write extensively on economics. His economic works were collected into a three volume set last century. That's really all I know about it.

    Lost: Season Four

    So, as it turns out, Jeremy Bentham was the name of an 18th Century Economist (influenced by John Locke, as it turns out). Anyone think that Locke/Bentham was Sayid's eponymous target in "The Economist" this past year? Maybe Sayid killed him. I'm calling it here. :)

    Lost: Season Four

    We don't know if Jin is dead or not, or if anyone else on the island has died. They told the outside world that everyone had died but them, but we don't know why. Sun visited Jin's grave in Ji Yeon, but we know that he's not buried there. And although she was crying at his grave, it might have...

    He's talking about something in the mission "Three Leaf Clover" in Grand Theft Auto IV. So far my fave mission in the game :)

    Lost: Season Four

    Damon and Carlton have explained on their podcast that the Lost version of time travel does not include alternate timelines, so no going back and saving people who are already dead.

    Lost: Season Four

    Yes, it was definitely the hidden room at Ben's house. You could see Ben's wall decorations in the foreground and his travelling suits in the background. What's also interesting is that Ben was clearly lying when he told his people they lost contact with the outside world after the sky turned...

    Lost: Season Four

    Here's something to chew on: We now know that the staging of the wreckage happened after the sky-turning-purple event (since Michael left the island right after that). We also know that at that moment, there was something detectable by the outside world (Penny's men in the cold). So Charles...

    Lost: Season Four

    According to the timeline, Michael had 14 days between leaving the island and the Others abandoning the barracks (when Ben calls Michael on the boat, he's in his house). Seems like a very short period of time for Michael to have gotten back to civilization, back to America, then the suicide...

    Lost: Season Four

    Well, it has to be recent enough that the quarters have been recently vacated and Michael/Kevin Johnson hasn't gotten around to cleaning up the blood yet. Anyway, it's not like we've got any more information since last week to debate on this issue. Headbanging was just the first thing that...

    Lost: Season Four

    I don't know how clear it was. There weren't any bits of brain and skull on the wall. I still think it was from headbanging, as Sayid and Desmond heard banging, but did not hear any gunshots.
  13. Everlasting Gobstopper

    Lost: Season Four

    I think the blood on the wall was caused by someone repeatedly banging their head against it, which is the banging sound that Desmond and Sayid heard. It fits in nicely with the suicidal cabin fever we've been seeing on the boat.

    I think the bigger point is that the term Oceanic Six was coined before Sun even had her baby.

    The Wire: Season Five (see post #1 re: SPOILERS)

    Actually, the scene with Sydnor and Judge Phelan mirrors a scene from the first episode between McNulty and Phelan, with McNulty ignoring the chain of command and going to Phelan behind everyone's back.

    Lost: Season Four

    Looked to me like the entrance was the only thing visible from the outside, and actual facility went down into the mountain itself. When Juliet first walked into it, she looked down at Lewis and Faraday from above. Dharma must have had some amazing means to build all those hatches and that...

    "Six hours in, our radio went out; no one could see us. We turned back to land in Fiji. By the time we hit turbulence, we were a thousand miles off course. They're looking for us in the wrong place." Also, if you're interested, take a listen to the official Lost Podcast for this week. Damon...

    Lost: Season Four

    Kate's lawyer said he wanted to bring her son into the courtroom, which doesn't necessarily mean he wanted to put him on the stand, he probably just wanted to elicit sympathy from the jury. Also, according to Lostpedia, the two days that this episode takes place over are Christmas and the day...

    Lost: Season Four

    I'd be quite skeptical about this from a writing standpoint, as it's a conspiracy theory that's actually *less* compelling than the obvious answer given out on the show. At the end of the day, it would undercut and ruin the moment of revelation at the end of the episode from "OMG Kate's raising...

    Lost: Season Four

    It'd be very difficult to retcon a (half-)sister for Claire, since she would have been around the hospital making the life-support decision in the aftermath of Claire's car accident that put her mother into her permanent coma.

    Lost: Season Four

    I was hoping her baby would be Taller Ghost Walt. Think about it. It just makes sense. Also, in all seriousness, anyone else think that Ben's man on the boat is Michael?

    Lost: Season Four

    I hope Miles and Jin never have a scene together. I mean, who could keep track of who's who! As it stands, I can barely tell Jin and Sun apart. :)

    Lost: Season Four

    Yeah, about those location cards. That's the first time we've seen them in flashbacks, no? I take it to mean the flashbacks in this episode were more "objective" than the others. That'd be my only explanation of the Naomi flashback occurring after she's died: since the flashbacks aren't...

    Lost: Season Four

    Yeah, it's funny because in last year's Nikki and Paolo episode, in the DVD/BD commentary, the writers talk about how they've established that they never do flashbacks for dead characters, and that the audience is misled into thinking they've broken that "rule," but then it turns out that they...

    Lost: Season Four

    It's sometime before Locke's father gets taken to the island. He says that they found the wreckage with the bodies of the victims of the crash.

    Lost: Season Four

    Well, they found the fake wreckage before Locke's dad was taken to the island, and the flashbacks all took place at the time when the wreckage was found. The Asian dude's car radio was playing a news story about it and the brit was looking at a newspaper story about it.

    Lost: Season Four

    We do? Those weren't flashes forward, they were flashbacks to their lives before coming to the island and their being assembled for their mission. Also, I guess the "oceanic lawyer" scene from last week makes a bit more sense... I'm guessing that when he asked Hurley if any of them were still...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 DVD Art & More

    The press release says that particular episode includes 25 minutes of extra footage, unless it's extremely poorly written. Don't forget season 2.5's version of Pegasus was 15 minutes longer than broadcast. From what the producers were saying on the podcast, they had to cut out a lot of stuff...

    Showtime's "Dexter" Season 2

    On the contrary, Doakes just disappearing would be best for Dexter: the prime suspect in the Bay Harbor Butcher case would never be brought in, so suspicion would never go off of him, and everyone would just assume that it was Doakes, who's fled the country.

    I don't know, I'm pretty interested to find out what commandment Zippy laid down for Bill that would get Bill so upset.
