Oh, I'd forgotten that. Thanks.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

That's a great article, Barry! Best picture of Sawyer so far (he looks good without the sneer), and I really like what he says about Charlie being his favorite character. He makes the good point that, so far, Charlie has managed to weasel himself into almost every major plotpoint discussion/event that has happened. I think that's a sign that the writers really like the character, and are planning on involving him more than they had originally intended.
Considering that they've already customized the role for Dom Monaghan, it also reflects well on his acting skills. I really thought that he was the hobbit that would suffer the Mark Hamill career path, but he's showing real talent here (loved when he saw his guitar last week).

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Thanks for the article link, Barry. I wanted to argue almost every point the guy made, and reached for my tin-foil hat during the attempt to set up the Claire-as-fertility-goddess/Messianic-Locke connection, but I suppose that is all part of making an interesting article.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I liked the idea of paired monsters. We'll just have to wait and see whether that is the direction the writers have gone.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Damn, that was a good picture of Sawyer.
Considering that I've been to the Mark Twain caverns (all they need is a minotaur--seriously), I can't believe I forgot about the Tom Sawyer--caves connection. Hmm.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I can't believe I forgot about the Tom Sawyer--caves connection. Hmm.
Something pinged me with Tom Sawyer on first viewing, but I dismissed it as too obscure to mention.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
While i disagree in a number of places with the author of that article, the article did drive home why Lost is so popular. It pings not just one, but lots of our mythologies. Adam and eve, gilligan's island, tom sawyer, swiss family robinson, watership dwn, lord of the flies, land of the lost, the undiscovered country, the new world,etc

Nice clip. I ♥ Charlie. And I'm finally picturing the actual character named Charlie right off when I write/read his name now. I didn't even watch PoF regularly, but it still messed with me a bit until just recently.
