I haven't gone back to look. In the Bernard & Rose episode, at that healing place... was there a well there? I seem to remember one when Bernard was bending down to talk to a little girl with crutches. But that could just be my mind playing tricks on me.
BTW - what the hell ever happened to Bernard & Rose?
Good question on Rose and Bernard but one thing that might noticed we didn't cover was that Lepidus and someone else (possibly Sun?), I can't remember who, went off with the canoes and have a feeling they might have the one's to take the bullet from Juliette.

In looking at her IMDB credit history she seemed content on doing tv roles instead of movies.

I read somewhere they franchised Andrews. My bad.
He was franchised last year.

One point on the proposed war that Widmore brought up. I'm harken back to a post I made last season.
.I can't explain it but when I watched the scene between Widmore and Ben speaking I had an odd God speaking to the Devil moment. Widmore playing the role of God and Ben as the Devil. I realize it probably means nothing but just something I felt. I think in part because of the comment that Ben couldn't kill him yet at the same time he it felt to me like they weren't exactly equals as in Widmore was superior or perhaps that was just Whidmore arrogance coming through, just a thought. I think the Risk is an obvious comparison that the writers wanted us to see.By showing Ben being more and more evil gives it more and more credibility that he is in fact the devil yet the role of the island is still up in the air. Unless the island is a representation of the Earth itself and/or the island is going to spawn a new Earth.

So Ben killed Locke. Go figure.
Though did he kill only after finding out Jin was alive? Because in all honesty it looked like Ben's demeanor changed once he learned that Jin was alive or perhaps I over reacted to his reaction when learned that. I'm also glad the writers cleared up who skinny black guy (sorry I can't remember his name) was as at when started showing him pushing John around in a wheel chair I started to think oh no was that time we saw him pushing around John as an orderly a flash forward and we didn't realize it was but he cleared things up nicely for us. All in all last night's episode was pretty good and hope John remembers Walt's dream about the people on the island with him now intend to hurt him.
-
I doubt Penny's dead- I don't think Desmond would've let Ben live if Ben had been successful, unless Ben was able to knock Desmond out or somehow do away with (not kill) him.
Ben couldn't have killed Desmond as Eloise told him, the island's not done with him yet. Although the thought Ben killed Penny really depresses me.

I wasn't blown away with the episode. As yes it did answer some questions but was more of a gap filler then anything earth shattering. I mean the Monster being the sickness that eventually killed Rousseau's team like a quick answer that the writers just didn't feel like really going into great detail. Not to mention that the problem with the Island hopping in space due to Ben doing instead of Locke just seemed another simple solution. Of course Daniel telling a young Charlotte not returning to the island proves interesting and leads me to wonder about the young girl Annie that Ben liked as a youth. Also the timing of Desmond meeting the Lostaways in LA at the exact time was a bit far fetched but then again the whole show is but usually I can suspend my belief in reality more then was able to in last night's show. Sorry to be a downer.

Then again, Ben told Jack to pack any thing he wanted on the island b/c he wasn't ever coming back.
I'm not sure things could be completely reversed. "Course correction" and all that.... But... do you imagine that the time skipping is what might be allowing the dead characters to appear to the Oceanic 6?
I also have yet to see comment on the computer woman at Oxford being the same woman at the 815 gate. Ginny, the one who let Hurley on? That was her, yes?
Then, forgot to mention at the time a couple of weeks ago, but did you guys see the kid who plays Walt in the commercial that ran during Lost? I think it was Tostinos or HotPockets or some crap like that. Thought that was a little odd.
Jack saw his dead father even before they starting skipping time so not sure they has anything to do with it but who knows.
I've read else where that the computer woman was the same woman at the airport gate on another board but not sure what to make of it but did mention now when here Oceanic 6 starting think of the saying 6 degrees of separation ie that every person in the world is linked to everyone else by 6 people.
I did see that commercial but actors need work. As I'm pretty sure I saw the guy who plays Michael was also in the preview of some new cop show coming on ABC I just can't remember if saw it while watching Lost or possibly Scrubs. Though another appearance really baffled me was the actor who plays Widmore was in a recent episode of Flight of the Conchords playing an Australian of all things.

So...Russo and Jin meet as she and her crew are shipwreaked on the island. My question is this...did Jin and Russo have any interaction during the last four seasons? I'm sure they must have, which leads me to wonder if she remembered him or was she so screwed up that she didn't. I don't recall any instance where she (or he) might have indicated that they had met before.
Thoughts?
I can't remember any specific times but Lostpedia referenced season 3 that the day Jin learned Sun was pregnant the team was prepared to visit the station where Danielle made her recording so they must have met. Of course now she has a "new memory of Jin" (see Desmond's new memory of Daniel telling him to meet his mother in Oxford) so the prior interaction will ultimately be now changed as to what ultimately will happens is still in the air.
You know, I may be stating the obvious, but this time travel hooey really puts a wrinkle in the plot and I'm not sure that I welcome it. I mean, anything that we've seen can be theoretically reversed ......completely, like it never happened. Anyone who we thought was dead can come back. Entire issues that had been resolved could open themselves right back up again.Who knows, but the finale of the show could wind up being us watching a plane full of people flying past the island, landing in the US and going about their lives like the whole thing never happened.
To paraphrase the white haired woman thought to be Daniel Farraday's mother the universe will find a way to correct itself. Even so eventually they'll all end up on that island someway.
-
The nosebleeds from the non Lostaways is intriguing and only real take away I got from the episode. Though Sun with a gun and seemingly approaching Ben and the remaining Oceanic 6 (minus Hurley) seems interesting but have a feeling everyone is going to convince her they have to return to the island especially since the preview eluded that Ben has proof that Jin's still alive. Of course the questions that do remain is how will Locke learn to escape the island and why he ends up in the real world and just how their going to get Hurley out of prison in time remains a big question. The end reveal of Jin alive but with Rousseau was a nice surprise at all but at least now looks like we might find out what caused her people to die of the sickness but think it could all be tied into the Jughead.

I have to admit, I have never wathced the American Office, live, but have now seen the first 4 seasons on DVD. I was one of those too stuck up to give it a chance, because I absolutely loved the British version.
I also happened to see the episode after the Super Bowl, and yes, I thouhgt it was really funny. If I have one, albeit small, complaint, is that I get sort of tired of the Jim/Pam thing... I don't mind either character, but their romance (and now I see they got married) is just not very compelling, and doesn't provide a lot of humor to the show. Is it just me?
I was also glad to see Toby back. Last episode I saw on DVD, was his departure. Michaels' loathing for him is one of my favorite on-going bits... I share a similar "love" for HR folks...
No it's not just you, I felt the relationship of Dwight and Angela was better then Jim and Pam's.
-
That was a great episode. I loved it when the cat got thrown up into the ceiling.
The actor who plays Dwight had a part on "Six Feet Under" for a few years.
Yeah and Arthur was an odd character too but at least Dwight's a bit more social.
-
It'll be back around Aug/Sept. FX is good at keeping their shows fresh by not showing too many repeats.
Thanks I was perplexed as to why I couldn't find it as didn't realize it was on a different schedule then most other shows.

Full streaming episodes.
I think hulu offers them as well.
Awesome but rather support the show by buying DVDs plus hate sitting at a computer desk to watch things for long periods of time.
-
Yeah this is supposed to be the last, actually last season was supposed to be the last but NBC screwed the pooch on that one...
BTW Aziz is a great addition to the show
It's good thing ABC brought it back because last year's season finale was a total disappointment. In terms of Aziz, he's pretty good but whenever I see him and that other intern "Jo" I ended up thinking about Flight of the Conchords as that's where I recognize them from.
-
Yes, I can google it but when in the hell is this show on? As I had never watched it until read a few online threads of people talking about the funniest shows on tv and this one always got mentioned. So I ended up buying the first two seasons on DVD and will admit it got me laughing so now I want to watch new episodes. I've looked through my Interactive Program guide but can't seem to find it.
-
This is likely the final season of the show though as Zach Braff has said this is the last season he'll do and hate to say it but JD is the centerpiece of the show and with him gone so goes the show if ask me. I'll admit the shows been pretty funny this season. Last night's episode with Ted's reaction to Kelso back in his office was priceless.
-
It was good but felt the last fifteen or so minutes it started to lose some of it's funniness. As the case I usually love the half hour episodes but sometimes the hour one's just don't have the staying power. Though all and all it was a pretty good episode.
-
It feels like only yesterday I posted this http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=33382&hl= thread, I can't believe it's coming up on 4 years in October. To answer the question it's really up to you as the owner I choose to put Smokey down because she was able to walk and didn't think it be worth keeping her alive through something like that. Of course something came good out of that thread as about a week later I got a new kitten and wasn't sure what to name her but thanks to kegtapr got the name of Bandit and it's fitting because she's always taking things off desks and with her color looks like she's wearing a black mask.

It's OK for "fast-food" beef-on-weck. But, I like my BOW much rarer.
It could be worse someone could have mentioned Arby's.

Some thoughts right off the bat for discussion...last night's episode was awesome. I'm definitely a lot more interested in the island's secrets/time travel than the story line of the oceanic 6 trying to get back. So here goes, and some, none, or all of these may be right...
2. The blonde on the island in 1954 is Faraday's mother (now the old white-haired woman).
I felt the blonde was Faraday's woman in Oxford. Yet Widmore said that Faraday's mom was in LA so admit going to have to rewatch the episode as am rather confused by all that.
In terms of the H-bomb maybe it's leaking ultimately be what prevents women from on the island being able to give birth?
Yet on another board the an off wall question came up was about Desmond's son is named Charlie, was it in honor of our Lost hero or Charles Widmore? Not that it matters but at first I thought it was about the Lost here until heard John exclaim, your Charles Widmore? and then I question it myself.
-
I think she's going to turn out to be Daniel's mother, who Desmond was told to find at Oxford. She seemed to be doing physics related things in the basement of that darkly lit church place.
I'm not sure how I feel about this whole "island moving in time" deal...the plot arcs are getting a little too sci-fi for my taste, but this still promises to be an awesome season...it's a character-driven show, and all the actors seem to be in top form.
I agree that she's Daniel's mother. As when Daniel stated that you can't change the past it reminded me of what she told Charlie about not being able to change the future.
To me one thing that was interesting was Charlotte's bloody nose and memory loss. So she could be end up dead soon unless she finds a constant.

*Free agent signees:
DT Gabe Watson (RFA, but we'll deal w/ 'em)
C Jason Brown
LB Bart Scott
OT Donald Penn (another RFA, but worth the $$)
DE Chris Canty
*Draft:
WR Michael Crabtree (just to tick off people, plus I've already addressed the lines, so deal w/ it)
TE Chase Coffman
G Kraig Urbik
WR Jamarko Simmons
S Reshard Langford
QB Chase Daniel
LB Derek Nicholson
These moves also sound like a return to the 3-4 defense. I will agree to disagree on Donald Penn but the rest of the FA aren't bad yet rather see us bring in a veteran WR then you guys and if were to pursue any RFA guys like Malcom Floyd and Owen Daniels be guys be at the time of my list.
How is Owen Daniels that much different than any of our current TE's?I think his 862 yards receiving in 2008 and 768 yards receiving in 2007 surpass the entire production of all 4 TEs we had in those years respectively.

We all know hindsight is 20/20 but if we really took the 2005 season and said now way JP is a starting QB and knew the JOb wa open for Competition in 2006. Would you have taken Jay Cutler (11th pick) with the 8th pick instead of Whitner or would you have stayed the course????
ME I would have taking Cutler then we wouldnt be looking for a QB anymore
Let's not forget we could have also taken Aaron Rodgers or Jason Campbell with pick 20 in 2005 and Bob Sanders and Michael Turner in 2004 too had we never traded up for JP.

Yeah not only hers either but the boobies from the Playboys on the brothers wall were memorable as well.
