There was a recent DVD release -t, but I got my copy in one of those bins of cheap movies at Best Buy. So I don't know where you could find one.

And there is no way I was looking through that bin for cheap porn.

So, in the caveman vs beach dude divide, I can't decide who is supposed to be the "good guy". I mean, I don't know which side is dark and which is light, to use the backgammon metaphor. Both are deceptive, and both clearly think they are doing the "right thing".

My $0.25 (my opinions are worth more)....

Just because they have initially divided along beach/cave lines, does not mean they will stay divided along those lines. It's still early. They've only been there a week. You've got to give it a few weeks before they really start turning on themselves.

Then we'll see which side is dark, and which side is light.

LOL's torrents are available at Suprnova, too.

Yes, but I figured these would be a bit more straightforward for those who aren't as familiar with bittorrents. I happened to decide I needed to download a couple of eps I hadn't, and had the link handy, so...

Dark Star on Amazon is $10. This link is through the Buffista affiliate linking , I hope. If I did it right.

Did Sayid and Sawyer both come running from the fuselage..?

So that explains why it took so long to break up the fight. They were both pulling up their pants.

In Watership Down, the rabbits that live in the oppressive warren are marked in order to sort them into groups. So there's the group with the scar on the left flank, the group with the scar on the ear, etc. The marks, IIRC, regulate where they live, when they can eat, and who they interact with.

I don't know why this didn't hit me before, but I think that just set off my squick meter. Not the Hoyay, but the Hoyay in the fuselage with all the cremated bodies.

They dusted it out...

Is it really all that different from Hoyay in a crypt?

I get the feeling that the cave group is going to be rewarded for sticking with the island, and the beach group punished for trying to escape

My take is that of the typical hero's journey. All the survivors have the opportunity to be a "hero" within the frame of the story. The first part of the story is the Call. The plane crashing on the island, in this case, is everyone's Call. Jack's personal call was confronting the ghost of his father and accepting a leadership role. Locke's call was taking all that walkabout knowledge and actually using it. Those who accept the Call will continue on the path of the hero's journey. I'm thinking those who accept that rescue may not be coming and have moved to the cave have all, more or less, accepted their Call. Those who remain on the beach have not. There is no "good" or "evil." It's merely those who are progressing on the road to enlightenment willingly and those who have, so far, refused it. We can't have everyone jumping on the bandwagon all at once or it's going to bog down in the mud.

I have an idea that they will start focusing on new characters as time goes on. In fact, I would prefer that they do.

I'd much rather have them to go back and catch up with various characters than to make it all about the core group we know until they start having an absurd amount of crapola, just because the writers are bored with the characters.

For instance, if Jack and Kate decide to get it on, we can shift focus a bit, and show their relationship in the background while some other plot is moved to the front burner. (Example only)
