The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ashtareth, you have spoilers in your post that need to be whitefonted. (the stuff about Sun .)

Also, do we know that Michael is Walt's father? Has the kid called him Dad at all?

Yes. He has said so.

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

And, if the island gives people what they want, why did it (or its avatar the Not-Dinosaur) kill the pilot?

What if the pilot was near death/going to die soon anyway? Maybe he was in a lot of pain and secretly preferred death?

In "Walkabout", Walt called Michael, "Dad" - but what I noticed is that Michael seemed a bit surprised by it. At least IMO.

It was said in the show that Michael was not a part of Walt's life until two weeks before the flight. Walt was living in Sydney with his mother, who just died. I think that is where the suprise came in.

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

He has, and even if he's not, Dan Kwa's Good Dad score sheet is still hysterical.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Right, Lee, but that stuff isn't a spoiler. I just made it up.

That's just how it seems to me. I have no inside knowledge.

I'm a spoilerphobe, and I saw nothing spoilerrific. It was all based on our perceptions of the characters as they stand.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'm debating going to tvtorrents.net and torrenting the Lost avi files before they disappear. I think the user "lol" (heh) makes some of the best encodings, and you can usually store two hours worth of his/her avi's on a 700 MB CD.

Okay, mad-skipping to the end.

Re: Jack not a doctor: Did anyone notice in the last episode that the porter(?) in Jack's dad's hotel room addresses Jack as Mr., and Jack doesn't correct him?

Ah, sorry Ashtareth. I misunderstood.

Apparently, it's British (and probably Australian, then) to refer to doctors as Mr.
