OMGWTF has become my new favorite acronym. It comes in handy in so many different situations, much like HSQ.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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.

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?

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?

If I only had a brain...

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

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
no kidding. That's kind of bullshit. People hear voices all the time. Aural hallucinations aren't often from lack of sleep though if I remember correctly.

BTW...what if Jack's dad is the monster. A shape-shifting monster.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I mean, even if his father did come back to life, where in hell would he get ice cubes on the island?
Maybe there's a hotel with an ice machine on the other side.

You'd think that someone might propose doing a perimeter check of the island, at least.
