Commentary on "All the best cowboys have Daddy Issues" from [link]
Charlie: I'm dead! I'm totally dead! Watch how dead I am! Listen to the Sad Violin! They wouldn't whip out the Sad Violin unless I were really dead! Yup, still dead. Starting to smell a bit, now. See the Overhead Camera Angle of the Departing Spirit! Look at the king-size mecha-balls on this show, killing me off when I was so great in that big-budget LotWhatever movie! Any moment now, delicious mushrooms will spring from my corpse! It's truly amazing how dead I am.

Psych! SUCKAHS! There were no balls!
Ling Mao said to pass this along:
The saying on Boone's shirt translates to 84.
Which is the reverse of 48....the number of survivors, including the baby.
(And? 42x2)
Plus, 1984...Big Brother is watching. Interesting.
Kristin, good call. Someone could be watching them all. And if they are, then it's all just a big bell jar experiment. Gotta wonder what the ultimate outcome of that experiment is supposed to be. And did they fail with Danielle and Alex, so now they have to start over with Claire and her baby?
I thought 48 people minus the baby survived the crash. And then two died, bringing them down to 46, and then there's Ethan and Danielle, bringing them back up to 48.
Technically three died, but Charlie got better.
Oh! Ling told me to pass along this URL with that number revelation:

All being well, I'm going to watch Lost for the first time ever tomorrow night. It's got Gavin Park, Peter Watts/blown-up guy from X-Files movie, and Merry the Hobbit, and they say it's becoming a big cult phenomenon, so I know it's worth a look.
Tonight's eps will be "The Moth" and "Confidence Man."
The Moth had its detractors, mostly for anvils, but it should be interesting to hear the show from the perspective of someone who has not seen the preceeding eps.
Please feel free to be honest with us about what you do see. We worry sometimes about how popular the show is. hee.
