...[T]he first store I worked at closed down, and we had to strip ALL of the paperbacks in the store--at least 4,000 of them ...

They ought to film this and show it every Halloween.

t shudders

That would have broken me.

Can't they give them to libraries or something, or ship them somewhere? So many trees killed for naught. There oughta be a law.

and now for my Meara:

There already appears to be a song about Evangeline Lilly

OMG I totally forgot, there already is a song called Evangeline! An awesome one at that.

if you have that much need to be self-flagellated there are easier ways to go about it

Yeah, like being Spike and picking a fight with S6 Buffy being Wes and picking a fight with S1 Faith being Jayne and picking a fight with Mal

Snicker Bitch must DIE!

Did anyone else think that Not!Sawyer's ConWife was Snicker Bitch for a second? This was in the first scene, when I was alternately saying "It's Anya!" "No, it's Shannon!" over & over.

Welcome newbies. Please read the FAQ, noting especially this part:

Q. How do I quote something I want to reply to?

Either italicize it, or place a forward facing caret > in front of it. If you use the caret, the text will end up looking like this:

Quoted text for reply.

The text will be indented until you force a line break in the text box by hitting the Enter key.

No. All het males have an automatic breast diameter/depth sensor that immediately identified ConWife as someone new.

Sad, but true.

Oh god, Sawyer. It makes me so hot when you're an asshole. (I also said this aloud. My mother said "Regina. SERIOUSLY. I'm worried.")

Heeeeee from Regina's LJ.

In the "why wasn't the book wet?" department, Sawyer's been reading it for several episodes. It's had sufficient time to dry off. Granted, it still doesn't look like it's been in the ocean, but hey.

And I don't think Sawyer actually has the inhalers. Kate already made an offer to trade for them. If Shannon actually dies, they become valueless. There's no reason to horde them.

I don't think anyone said "why doesn't it look wet?"

Books that have been soaking wet do not look nice and flat and smooth.

I was idly LJ surfing, and just came across this Watch'n'Post style entry of an unapologetically drooly fangirl, which made me laugh and laugh. The bits about the hazard of watching the show with her dad are particularly priceless.

Ha, she's one of my closest LJ friends. Really sweet, smart girl, but I have to skip her fangirly entries because I can't stand the drooly stuff. I wanted to scream after the pilot aired and every second poster on the episode thread at TWoP thought it would be fun to list the five characters they'd most like to have sex with, and even this week's thread there annoyed me with all the "Charlie can lick imaginary peanut butter off me" and "Sayid can tie me up anytime."

I love this thread, though -- lots of great points. Like Beverly, I am just reading and nodding. I especially like all the Sawyer=Faith analysis.

Haven't spotted Willow, yet.

Yes we have, it's Locke. Manipulative, thinks he knows what people need better than they know themselves, has been seduced to the dark side by the Rackasaur.

I don't think anyone said "why doesn't it look wet?"

This is what I read:

You'd think that they would have thought to make it wet, at least, if they didn't intend people to notice it not being wet.

Though I realize in retrospect, that libkitty probably meant that it didn't look like it had been wet in the past and people were chiming in on that. My bad. Brain not working quite right today, apparently.
