All is well that ends in pizza.

Plus? Lost quotes wouldn't be eligible for a long time, even under the current rules. I believe quotes weren't eligible until the season was over in the last bastion of Unamerica, right?

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Okay - thanks. I'm just checking since I'm transcribing Lost anyway. I'll hold off.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yup. Lost quotes would fall under NAFDA rules.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, and in fact, we should remember to be careful with our tags from NAFDA episodes as well. There is a longstanding tradition of tagging tantalizing but not spoilery lines from the shows, but I've seen a few that seemed to cross over a bit for me, if I hadn't seen it. Remembering that our taglines show across all threads, not just the NAFDA ones.

I'd also like to point out (as one of its most vocal enthusiasts) that although Lost is chock full of engaging plot twists and interesting characters, not so much with the clever lines of dialogue like all the Mutant Enemy productions we were so fond of quoting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That one about the license plates was pretty funny.

But, yeah, we're kinda spoiled.

Now, if we were talking The OC...

The status is NOT quo.

Damn you OC pushers. I'm going to break down and get hooked, aren't I.

And, umm...on topic...did we ever make a decision about changing the Bitches header? I do think it might not be a bad idea.

I don't know where to put this, and I have been thinking about it for a couple of days.

I just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who worked on the user filter.

I know it's supposed to be the Big Pink Elephant, but I have to say, I really love how easily it works and conversely how it is helping me lower my blood pressure.

So thank you to all of you.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have an information related question: Marti Noxon's show will be on Fox soon ("Point Pleasant") - will it have its own thread or will Natter be the target point?
