Okay, so I'm up to episode six, and I have a couple of theories.

Having watched Futurama soon after watching an episode of Lost, I'm theorising that the Mystery Monster may in fact be a gigantic Amazon woman. This theory is supported by Locke's "...I looked into the heart of this island, and it was beautiful." It's also possible that there is actually an entire community of gigantic Amazon women living on the island. YGiganticAmazonWomanTheoryMV.

Theory number two I developed whilst babysitting cousins last week. Do you have a cartoon called Noah's Island in America? It's about a group of animals who break out of a zoo and live on an island that floats through the oceans, picking up other animals as it does. The leader of the group is a polar bear named Noah. If the Lost island and Noah's Island are then one and the same, Sawyer has killed a children's icon. That's so the sort of thing he'd do...

Procrastinate? Me?

Maybe the amazon women ride the bears into battle. That would be why roeussou said only facing bears would be the lucky scenario.

Incredibly bare-bones: Lost in Transcription.

No doubt I'll do some tweaking as time goes by.

I keep thinking about the scene in Confidence Man where Charlie is pestering away and insults Hurley.

But now, my mind has Hurley spinning around and grabbing Charlie the second time and saying, "Dude! You. Must. Chill!"

Lost in Transcription.

It looks great, shrift. Much better than as I typed it. It inspires me to get going on part 2. This week has just been a tad too computer-intensive and migrainey already, but I should have it next week.

I noticed that you have stuff centered and no italics. I'll switch my formatting to that, unless I hear otherwise.

Here is what Shrift's Firefly transcripts look like, if that helps:

Thanks Daniel. I had seen that page, but not recently. It leads me to think that I should not worry about the centering, but should capitalize character names. Of course, I suppose I could discuss this with shrift and beathen off-board, to avoid boring the rest of you. Perhaps that's what I'll do next time.

Talking about it here increases the chances that random people will know it is being done, so I personally have no trouble with it.

Other poster's milage may vary....

Thanks! And -- no worries about formatting, yeah? I simply formatted it to look more like a script. Upon a casual glance, it makes the dialogue easy to discern from action.

It's clean. It's simple. It didn't take me very long at all. Y'all are doing the hard part, and believe me, I know it, as I've transcribed many an episode.

BTW, I have some people offering to help with the transcribing. Will e-mail.

Just watched The Moth. Aw Charlie. Do you think if I explained politely to Dominic Monaghan that I'm in love with him and all his works that he might let me touch him? Yes? What's that? Restraining order, you say? Oh well.
