It was the bedspring from a camp bed. I've slept on many. Just not, you know, electrified.

I had my tv too dark, then. I should have recognized that. Especially since I just repaired one not a month ago.

They also make good barbecue racks if they are tight and you have some cinder blocks to lay it across.

Powerskimming the last 250 posts... Love the ep, want to watch it again.

I, like Nutty, spent a lot of time listening to Mira Furlan and noticing how very Croatian she sounded, and how that was very unlike a French accent.

Loved that bit of Sayid's backstory, but not sure I get what the deal was with Delenn's expidition. I'll have to watch it again to be sure.

Hi, lunda! Have we seen you around here before?

Ooh, 1495. I think we have a delurk! Welcome, lunda.

Thanks for the welcome. I have indeed been lurking for awhile, but love your discussions and wanted to contribute a little.

I was thinking last night about Locke. I'm not sure if he's evil and manipulating people or being manipulated by the mysterious THEM Danielle mentioned. But I love how he keeps producing the tangible items people want: Walt's dog Vincent, Charlie's guitar and the golf clubs when people were complaining about being bored. It's like giving people sedatives (distractions) to keep them from paying attention to what he's really doing. In Wednesday's ep, he wasn't with the rest of the survivors at the Island Open, but instead was honing his Great White Hunter skills and taking the opportunity to teach them to Walt (an alcolyte?), while Michael, who had told Walt not to go with Mr. Locke earlier that day, was distracted by the game.

He's definitely making himself indispensible to the group, while not appearing to take any major leadership role. And you're right, I hadn't thought about the fact that he was the one who actually found the bag with the golf clubs. I think I might be swinging back around to thinking that HE was the one who clocked Sayid a couple of episodes back. He was maybe a little too casual about it when Sayid asked him for his alibi...

I should mention, that if you have a battery and jumper cables, you can make an electrical torture-unit out of a foldy beach chair and enough rope to tie up your captive. Alternatively, a metal bedframe will do, and double points if there is rope webbing for the prisoner's comfort while being tortured.

(The real question is, who knows how much juice to use, to be painful without being fatal? I don't.)

Hi lunda, and welcome.

Interesting theory about Locke - it reminds me of NEEDFUL THINGS by Stephen King. I'm curious if there will be a price for each item.

And, of course Locke got the use of his legs back - first to find what he'd lost.

A car battery is only 12 volts, so I think it's unlikely that electrocution is a worry. Go wild.

Oh, that's good. Encourage her.

Everyone needs a hobby, I say.
