Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[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.
The Identity spec is a little worrying. For those unfamiliar, who can bear being spoiled on the movie:
All the potential suspects/victims for a serial-killer mystery were each a persona of a Multiple Personality Disorder nut case. The entire thing took place in the nutcase's head.
Gus, thank you. :)
I agree that if that were to happen it would be extremely disappointing, but I really doubt that they're gonna go that way.
And, the new thread title is perfect.
Thanks, Gus. That would be ew. It's not happening here. I know because I have my fingers crossed.
We have a thread title. I am happy.
For the record, my first reaction to Identity was, "Does every movie have to have a Ginormous Plot Twist nowadays?" In the end, though, I think I like it. It's a fun movie and people die and it's creepy.
That being said, Lost should not be like that.
Then again, it would allow the next thread title to be OMGWTFMPD .
Almost worth it for that alone, P-C. And thanks Hec.
Multiple Polarbear Disorder?
OMGWTF has become my new favorite acronym. It comes in handy in so many different situations, much like HSQ.
OMGWTF has become my new favorite acronym.
I find it hard to believe it hadn't become popular till now. I mean, OMG and WTF individually were teh awesome, but together they wield even more acronymical power. Who's tracing the etymology of netspeak? Why has no one come up with this until now? Or where has it been hiding?
The new recap is up at TWoP. In general, I don't think the Lost recaps have been very funny, but there was one bit in this one that cracked me up good. Also, this line gave me pause:
Back at his late-night fire, Jack's crying again. Behind him, a branch snaps and we hear ice cubes rattling. Huh: obviously this isn't just a hallucination -- there's something corporeal out there. These scenes sure make me hope the writers are awfully creative to come up with an explanation for all this stuff that doesn't seem like grade-A baloney.
See, I had pretty much the opposite reaction. I figured that the sound of ice cubes was supposed to be a tipoff that Jack was hallucinating. I mean, even if his father did come back to life, where in hell would he get ice cubes on the island?
