[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.
Not to speak for Jess, but I think I got what she was saying....
She's not saying she doesn't want it all to be rational reality goodness, or that there can't be sci fi/fantasy elements.
She just doesn't want there to be an overarching mythology. Explanations ! = mythology.
Explanations ! = mythology.
I'm not sure I think the explanations are going to be every day ones, so when I used the word "mythology" I meant explanations+rules, working on the assumption that there is a fantastical element. Now if it turns out to be more along the Jurassic Park lines, where rich people/corporation/mad scientists have caused the fantastic through everyday means (dropping a polar bear off on a tropical island; breeding some ginormous animal), and if Locke's recovery was just a fluke ala getting amnesia from a bump on the head, and regaining one's memory from a bump on the head, then the rules behind it (and in my personal lexicon, the mythology) is realistic world happenings.
Oh my word. I just read that back to myself. If Jess thought she was going to win the not-explaining-myself-well award today, I've just ripped it from her hands.
When come back, bring articulation.
Actually, considering I'm having my own communications failures and missteps today, I'm seriously considering deleting my explanation, just because I fear I've done more harm than good.
No no, both of you, leave them! That way I look less crazy.

You all seem to be contradicting either my point or Jess's point while thinking you're agreeing with my point/Jess's point.
I think you're all crazy.

I think you're all crazy.
Hey, is that a polar bear?
OMGWTF!
I'm a little disappointed cleolinda hasn't done any more recaps. She needs to get on that, I'm thinking.
Cleolinda *has* been doing the recaps of the subsequent episodes of Lost, and some Veronica Mars for bonus as well. They remain v. funny, although the recap for the part 2 of the Lost pilot is in a class of its own. OMGWTF___ appears to have made it to the fannish lexicon already, which is kinda neat.
I'm not really here. Supposed to be working. And y'all are equally crazy.
