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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I can complain a lot!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I have some dimly remembered first aid training (years ago) and a fairly strong stomach. So I could probably help Jack if necessary. Other than that, well, I think my helpfullness would be limited to saying, "I think I saw something like this on a tv show, once. If I can remember how they dealt with it, I'll let you know."

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

From Kristin at eonline:

Here's what Damon Lindelof (the boss man) said at the Globes, when I asked if we'll find out what the monster/beast/entity is, "I think it's a Dave-Maddie issue, which is, the audience thinks that they want Dave and Maddie to hook up, but once they do, you're like 'Aah, I wish they never hooked up!' So, despite all the people who are saying 'We wanna see the monster, we wanna know what Kate did, you must answer all these questions!,' we're comfortable just knowing the answers and holding them back until we've earned it, or until we've introduced mysteries that are even more compelling than those. At least, that's the juggling act. Eventually, everyone's gonna get really frustrated, but there's a reason why they didn't show Alien in the first reel of Alien, or the shark in Jaws. You'll learn when our characters learn."

Do you think they're all really dead on Lost?

Deadly attractive, yes! Damon says: "That's a very interesting theory. I heard that theory. We might've even talked about it once or twice. But how would you explain people dying on the show then? I mean, they're just deader, they're more dead. They're moving to a spinoff is what it is. Everybody we kill off will be on ABC Family on a much cheaper island."

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

Ha! I love it. The spinoff will be called Misplaced.

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

Or Found.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Deadly attractive, yes!

Zing!

I am manual labour girl. Show me the heavy and I'll lift it.

I came out as Sawyer on that quiz though, so perhaps I wouldn't be all that helpful.

I wasn't particularly put out by the 'dropping' of the Claire storyline. I figure that most of the people on the island are a lot more worried about themselves than someone they may never even have spoken to.

They're not acting worried about themselves much either. Strange man appears from nowhere and kidnaps two people, and kills (even if temporarily) one of them? Everyone's just going about their business.

How many people know about the crazy French lady? That doesn't bother them either?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Well yes. Worried about themselves being dragged off into the jungle by mystery psycho would still seem pretty sensible, though. Especially since they can't really comfort themselves with visions of the determined rescue effort, now can they?

"I have no freakin' idea, and so am falling back on the Moonlighting Defense."

I wish someone would say, "I have no idea what it is."

It would be so damned endearing. I'd send cookies!
