All is well that ends in pizza.

I have an idea for a fanfic, if I can only write it before we get Michael's story...

The artistic ability and the line about him being an artist in another life got me to thinking. Suppose the reason He and his wife broke up originally was because he was a stereotypical artist and was not so much with the responsible and she couldn't count on him, or so she claimed. They break up and he's devistated. To prove he can be a stable person, he worked in construction, hoping to win her back, and be with her and Walt again. Then she died, and he wasn't completely ready for the whole fatherhood thing, much less by himself....

I really need sleep, I think.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Oh, this was much better. Lots of ME tropes - the Golf fakeout, the teaser structure (sayid can look after himself cut to sayid being hoisted) and of course, the fact that Danielle was inches from muttering "Handsome torturer, saved me from the monsters"...

But there's no such thing as monsters....

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

I know! Before reading that, I just rolled my eyes whenever Boone appeared onscreen. But now I've been watching him closer, and noticed how he was looking at Jack during the putt scene. And dressing like him. And mimicking his posture and gestures.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Wow. Until Lyra Jane mentioned the meaning of Noor, I never noticed that it was the same name as Nora. Huh. My sister is named Nora, and she gets major double-takes when she is introduced to people from Arabic-speaking countries. It helps that our surname is pronounced the same as the very common Arabic surname "Malik". Which apparently means angel.

I thought the episode was great. My favourite moment was definitely "there's no such thing as monsters".

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Matt, thanks for posting that link! It is nice to not be so alone in my Boone-love.

I'm still hoping against hope that there's nothing supernatural at all - that she's just insane to the point of hanging speakers off all the trees to whisper at her as she walks around.

Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. -Bierce

Do the voices have to be supernatural? Could just be the rest of the shipwreck survivors, who are also crazy, but without electric beds and broken music boxes for company.

Or it could be a nautural auditory occurance. Either it's a location that echos sounds from farther away, or it's a sound that the mind interprets as whispers.

I have a desk fan that drives me buggy if I place it in a certain part of the bedroom and have it on. My mind tries to interpret it as a radio playing.
