It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

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

BTW, when I saw that metal piece and glass bit in the ground, that reminded me of a porthole. Given that there's no clear entry, I would probably look around for awhile and see if that is just "skylight" and the real door is elsewhere on the ground.

What is even happening?

How do you differentiate between playing a survival game and just surviving well?

I don't know if I did. I don't know if I can. He just has this vibe about him (I mean, besides being all magic), like he knows how it's likely to shake out, and so he's not just planning about food, shelter, etc., but island politics. It's miles apart from say Jack, or Sayid.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

It's funny, because last night I was filling a friend in on Lost so she could watch it with us. I gave her what little background there was on Boone and Shannon and said there was something weird going on, possibly in a Flowers in the Attic kinda way.

She asked "Oh, like Cruel Intentions?" And I was all "No, they aren't steps." Oops.

Who? moi??

I sure as shit wouldn't sit around staring at that thing in the ground. I would start digging around it to see how deep, far, etc., it was. Gives me the squick that they don't.

On another thread it was suggested that Spike and his amulet is in there.

Trust my rage

When playing the game, the smartest, the strongest and the best hunters frequently lose because they are too strong. In true survival, those skills are an asset to the group, not a threat.

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

On another thread it was suggested that Spike and his amulet is in there.

Actually, they were talking about The Show Soon Not to Be Known as The Inside. But it's a viable theory all the same. Spike comes out, gets burnt to a crisp, end of story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do you think there are game-players on the island?

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

I think Hurley is a gamer, and that Locke views the island as his own personal walk-about, where things are deadly serious, but also a notreality! adventure. (I hope that makes sense)

All is well that ends in pizza.

And maybe Hurley is one of them!
