Yes. The Adversary.
I like it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The name thing, I've concluded is intentional. It might not be that each character was named specifically, but no one's name is more than 2 syllables, there are groups of names with the same letter, most of the names that can be shortened are (with the exception of Michael).
Now, whether this is supposed to be symbolic or the naming is an artifact of writing structure, I don't know.
However, I just found a scenario that will tick me off WRT "Lost." I'm not sure how many have seen the movie Identity with John Cusak. Well, without laying plain a spoiler, if "Lost" ends up anything like that movie I think I will take a hostage.
You all have been warned.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Discussion is ongoing in Bureaucracy as to the thread title.
Still not sure we should have a semi-spoiler for non-NAFDA-ians in the title.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?
I'm with you on the Identity thing. I detested that movie. I called the "twist" less than halfway through and spent the rest of the movie appalled at how heavy-handed and awful it was.
I really don't want Lost to have a cheat ending like that or the purgatory thing. I'd feel let down.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I lost all interest in seeing Identity when someone mentioned that the twist was the same as the one in Donald Kaufman's screenplay in Adaptation.

"Come on! Look at you. You got that bed head thing going on, which McKay's probably got something to do with. You're tall, lean and you sound drunk a lot of the time. Hell, son, you're making me horny!"

But... Now I'm all curious and stuff.
And Google was not helpful. At all.

Mia,
watch the movie. Then come back here and bitch about it. We will empathize.
Jessica,
While I didn't LOVE the movie you mentioned, in some ways that "twist" is something that didn't even hit me the same way that "Identity" did. I actually cussed a blue streak for about 5 minutes after seeing "Identity". I was really pissed.

Oh I believe it. After all, in Adaptation, that "twist" is a joke. The reason it's in Donald's screenplay is because Donald is supposed to be a laughably crappy writer. I laughed and laughed when I found out someone had written it for real.

Sheesh, I have to watch the movie? That seems like a lot of work. Can't I just have the cliff notes version? I was all ready to bitch about it now.
Anyway, I have faith that the twist will be really good. And I'm in the camp that thinks this is some kind of alternate dimension/Bermuda-like triangle thingie.

Jessica,
(laughing) okay, you made me feel better. I really should have been laughing at the end of the movie, not cussing. :-)
