[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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

And how he knew that it would rain in 10 minutes,

It was one minute, IIRC. He could probably see the line of rain coming towards them earlier, and calculated the speed of the approaching rain line.

and the guitar

The guitar? He probably saw it in the tree earlier, and didn't mention it until he saw an opportunity to work with Charlie.

I'm just using Occam's Razor, mind you....

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

I've been pondering... how would people break out the A and B stories (maybe C, if they have one) of the episodes? I was mentally doing so to see where I'd group the actors in terms of screen time. Mine went something like this:

1x1: A: plane crash and reaction to it, cockpit mission. I guess you could call these A and B, but to me they felt like one storyline and there wasn't really a B plot.

1x2: A: transceiver expedition B: marshal operation

1x3: A: Kate and the Marshal B: Walt?

1x4: A: hunting expedition B: burning the fuselage

1x5: A: Jack's visionquest B: the water theft

1x6: A: Sun & Jin and the watch B: exploring the caves

1x7: A: Charlie and the cave collapse B: the triangulation project

1x8: A: Sawyer, the inhalers, torture B: Charlie and Claire and moving to the caves.

1x9: A: Sayid and Danielle B: Hurley and the golf course

1x10 A: Claire and her fears over the baby B: Hurley and the census

1x11 A: The hunt for Claire B: Hmm, does this really have a differentiated B?

1x12 A: Kate, Sawyer, Jack tussle over the case B: Rose and Charlie? Sayid and Shannon? Not sure which I'd class as B and which as C.

1x13 A: Boone transfers allegiance to Locke B: Hmm. There's Hurley and Sayid/Shannon threads, but it seems like the 'Jack takes a walk down to the beach, checks in with everyone and gets suspicious of Locke' thread is actually more dominant.

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.

I'm highly skeptical of this, though spinal adjustment undoing the actual paralysis is a possibility. My dad has very limited walking mobility with a cane, and a couple weeks of confinement to bed in a hospital robbed him of so much strength and steadiness that he needed twice as long undergoing rehab therapy to regain the lost ground. Within days of getting up on that beach Locke was not only going on long hikes, but also dragging a 120+ lb. piglet a considerable distance. I think the restoration of his full function and muscular strength has to be something miraculous rather than an explicable result of the crash.

What is even happening?

I think Matt's right, unless we take into account that the creative team might not be as married to continuity and sense as Buffistas tend to be.

(And by tend I mean: WE CRAVE IT LIKE OXYGEN AND FANWANK IT'S PRESENCE WHEN ABSENT.)

(Or maybe that's just me.)

Well. it is a JJ Abrams show.

Yes! Perzactly!

(Well, not in the sense that I've watched JJ's other shows and have any idea on my own--because I haven't--but anything I've heard about him... Let's just I am not expecting every single piece to be perfectly in place at the end. I mean there seems to be/have been a Polar Bear on a tropical island. I am in full "expect stuff" mode.)

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Lost didn't win. I am sad.

Joins Tamara in the sad corner.

What did? I completely spaced on the fact that the Golden Globes were last night.
