My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Oz ,'Him'


Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR  

[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.

According to Google it's "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky"

Anybody bring up the idea that maybe the entire island is fake? A giant, floating, island-looking secret mess-with-your-head lab?

I thought about it, but that's so far beyond current technology (that island is MILES wide, yo!) that they better explain it with aliens if they go that route.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

Well, there was an alien in the Faster Friends story that they said was 'chosen deliberately'. If I was doing an epic explains-it-all fanfic, I'd probably go for some sort of amorphous alien in the island's matrix, with some sort of id-powers ala Forbidden Planet.

I fought the law and I won!

I don't know about the rest of you but I want to see a Vincent flashback episode. Yes, that's right, the dog. I'm not trying to be silly, really. Think of the possibilities. Being that he's a dog, nobody's going to censor themselves around him so even if he doesn't understand exactly what's going on the audience will. Through Vincent's eyes we can see the cast of characters with their guards down at various times on the island or even some strange phenomenon he's come across. For example, maybe he had an encounter with the island monster or maybe he witnessed Ethan doing something sinister well before taking Claire. The episode practically writes itself.

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

It would be Lost's "The Zeppo"!

I'm not sure the American viewing public is ready for an hour of the camera running around frenetically, stopping only to sniff people's butts and crotches.

Well, maybe if the show were airing on Fox...

Who? moi??

I still want to know how Locke regained his mobility. And what he saw re: the leafosaurus that made him smile. And how he knew that it would rain in 10 minutes, and the guitar, and the..and the...

Just too much.

All is well that ends in pizza.

The mobility could be explained.

His being in the wheelchair could be because of a compressed vertebrae or something else that was too dangerous to operate on to free the spinal cord from being pinched. In the crash, his body was flung about and just happened to undo the pinch or compression so that normal function was restored.

If he's only been paralized for five years, and he's taken care of his physical body and kept up the exercises, adreneline could explain his being able to walk right away afterwards.

Also, we never saw to what extent he was paralyzed, he could have had a severely limited range of motion, that precluded walking, but allowed him to crawl a bit in bed, etc.

Wouldn't it be something if at the height of his plans that he suffered a relapse and was incapacitated again?

And he looked up at the sky and shouted, "KHAAAAAAAAAANN!!!"
