X-posted from Natter, 'cause nobody there wants to talk TV right now

Today I am being a drunk and watching television shows in English. This led to me thinking that both Lost and Desperate Housewives are the sort of shows that used to be on Fox and the WB, and now that these are on Big Three 'nets, they are enjoying monster ratings. There is something a little hopeful in that thought.

ION: I can't go Sawyer for Bigwig. DDK will be Bigwig. I got five bux says so.

I think Sayid is Bigwig.

I believe that's Dom Monaghan's new tattoo, and he asked JJ to let him show it off on the show.

Whether it's actually Dom's tattoo or not, the producers has said that nothing is shown to us by accident, and I think they were trying to tell us something.

The people on the island will have to open their eyes, or they will get an easy life, leading to a quick, easy death.

Sail, I went and looked at the TV Guide spoilers. I would rather not have known the last two.

Deena, did you mean the last two in the second post (9 & 10)? Because those two seemed pretty innocuous and/or obvious to me.

If you were talking about the last two in the first post (7 & 8), which were pretty spoilery, or so it seemed, don't read too much into 7, it was entirely speculation, and said as much in the "spoiler" itself.

I think Sayid is Bigwig.

Deena, there was some support for that at TWoP as well. I could see it, but as of now, he's got the technical proficiency to be one of the Blacks. But I definitely see where you're coming from. Sawyer or Sayid could be Bigwig.

DDK will be Bigwig. I got five bux says so.

That's a new one. He's got the aggressiveness thing going for him. But Sayid has more potential for the Noble Sacrifice. What I forgot about Bigwig is he's not a bad guy, in the end. Which may prove true for Sawyer as well.

I think Sayid is Bigwig.

Dude! Sayid is Mr. Fixit, the Gilligan's Island Professor, with sex appeal.

The only "spoiler" I quit reading was the one about Sun and Jin as it was about an upcoming episode. Everything else was either stuff we've speculated about ourselves, or the producers just giving us some background on what they were trying to achieve. There's still a heck of a lot we don't know.

What I'm now waiting for is the Lost equivalent of Angel becoming Angelus, or Angelus snapping Jenny's neck. I'm not saying that analogous events will happen, merely that Lost has great HSQ potential of the good kind. I just hope it lives up to that potential.

Jack snapping Uber-Bitch's neck. I could get into that.

Now I kind of want to make (or see) a show where there is secret hidden dialog or messages hidden in the caption track.

The Thanksgiving O.C. episode -- where Ryan goes back (yet again) to Chino and gets in a fight with some of his brother's friends -- slipped into the captioning of the fight: "What the fuck?"

I rewound my tape about 3 times to make sure I read it right.

I'm sticking by mine, dammit.

You'd think he was the leader, but no. Also, big with the killing things.

Fiver, to me, has to have an intuitive feel about him, rather than a knowledgible-ness. I think Locke's wrong about the island, and Fiver would not be. I haven't really seen a Fiver, though I could see Sun or the kid going that way.

Does that mean Shannon's going to start dating Locke right before?

I haven't really seen a Fiver, though I could see Sun or the kid going that way.

I was about to say, Walt would make a good Fiver, if you're Bigwigging Locke. The kid does have the spookiness about him, what with conjuring polar bears and controlling the weather.
