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.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

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.

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

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.

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

OMGWTF has become my new favorite acronym. It comes in handy in so many different situations, much like HSQ.

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?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

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?

Maybe it was in the bottles of Coca-Cola that the polar bears are drinking?
