"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Okay, re: The Stand.

I remember this book VERY well. I sure hope the writers don't go the route of the "magical Negro" like King did. Good grief. I don't immediately see parallels with TS at all, however...if the writers see them, that presents some interesting spoilers for the future. At least in terms of group dynamics.

WTF is Randall Flagg?

Not sure I want to contemplate that.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

… hoping Kate's crime wouldn't be something that could be white-washed. My money is on Kate having wasted someone in cold blood, *not* in self-defense, but premeditated.

Vonnie K is my kind of people.

The above may give credence to the theory that this is purgatory...

Stop it! JJA has more brains that this. You guys are just freaking me right the fuck out!

Say on, Sister Righteous!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

My money is on Kate having wasted someone in cold blood, *not* in self-defense, but premeditated. In revenge for something done to her or her loved ones.

It would be way interesting if she had done something that awful, put together with the gold-hearted acts we've already seen. I picture a scene like this between her and Jack, after a scene of interpersonal conflict among the islanders:

"Why are you like this? What did you do?"
"I murdered someone, Jack. My husband."
"Kate."
"I killed him."
"No."
"He's dead. But I'm not a bad person, Jack."
"Why did you--"
"You had your chance for questions before. It was four years ago. It's over."
"Kate. You killed a man."
"I did. And I'd do it again."

Oh, no. You ain't slippin' no "four years ago" into the mix.

Gus,

okay, I'll bite. Why does the notion that they may be in purgatory or something make you react so negatively? I'm ambivalent about it all, but so as long as there aren't dinosaurs, I'm happy.

The Twilight Zone thing. You have it scoped in the first act break/few episodes, then they toss it your in your face, all "Tomato Surprise!"?

Abrams has more skills than that.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Since Desperate Housewives has a full season commitment, maybe they can move Alias to Wednesdays following Lost....

I found a reference last night that says because the pilot started at night, the first hour only covered one day. Hmmm...

The pilot ...

Nevermind.
