I think there are other 40-day things. IIRC, Christ was in the desert for 40 days, being tempted.
Which seems more apt to the island.
We so need to start a Lost Reading List.

Ah! Finally got my internet access at home restored, and look what I found!
Also, did anyone else immediately think of Drusilla when they saw Miss Edith in the water?
Yes. Particularly since the trail of dolls led to a coffin. I was yelling "Don't open that, Dr. Jack! It's Drusilla's private first-class cabin!"

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Does anyone have a shotgun? There's a plot bunny in need of a good killing...
One thing I'm kind of looking forward to? The RotK Extended Edition release. Given how much I'm getting into this show, I have a feeling I'm going to have some very entertaining cognitive whiplash every time Merry is on screen.

Last week was ep. 5 and I think Jack said they'd been there 6 days at that point. I think. We can all rewatch tonight, goody!

Watch'n'post! Watch'n'post!
I am so excited about a w'n'p that's not debate-related.

Argh, I won't be here for WnP tonight. Have to work at the theater. Will have to work at the theater again this Wednsday, but after that, I'll have my weeknights free again.
I wonder when they break, and give us reruns for a few weeks.

I thought they weren't supposed to do re-runs. It's supposed to end when Alias starts, or something. I think that's one of the reasons I was attracted to this show, besides the whole surreal thing.
And yeah, those dolls in the water were seriously freaky.
I hope his dad really was in that coffin. It would be a cheat if he left his dad in Australia, considering that he said he needed this thing to be done and over. Of course, considering that stuff gets thrown all over in a plane crash, the body could be laying anywhere, or have been food for the boars by now. Only, wouldn't it be embalmed?
Dad needs a top hat and a black suit.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Some thoughts on Lost:
- I'm thinking that was a different plane that Jack found near the water.
- Jack wasn't supposed to survive the pilot episode, originally.
- Charlie seems only mildly addicted to whatever he was addicted to.
- Reading elsewhere, I found out some people hate Hurley. Huh.
- Where does the water go? does it make it to the ocean? hmmm.
- They've been there six days, and no one has decided/proposed to try walking around the perimiter of the island.
- No Gilligan jokes amongst the survivors? C'mon. I'd be making them. I want Kate to say "Okay, but I'm not making any coconut cream pies." Might be a licensing issue, I guess. Pity.

They are not so much rerunning as repeating. A technicality, true, but they are still having new episodes in the series regular slot.
