I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I don't think making Hurley a former psych patient is that obvious a storyline.

Oh, I don't think such a *storyline* would be obvious; I just think that *if* Hurley is a former mental patient, the way in which it was revealed last night was a little too obvious for the show.

Matt, you might want to edit your first sentence. (Are plot threads that haven't happened yet and never may spoilers?)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm still hoping that these turn out to be Amelia Earhart and what's-his-name.

Her partner, Captain Noonan. (I've been earwormed with a folk song about AH and her partner Captain Noonan for 15 years now; I will likely carry his name to my grave, long after I have forgotten my own.)

Loveloveloved the episode. Love Garcia's acting chops. Got all heart-twisty when he clutched at Rousseau and hugged the stuffing out of her. Loved "She says hey." Loved Jack's private, delighted grin. Even loved Charlie's minor dickishness, because it was small and petty and in-character.

And Locke with the cradle was unbelievably sweet and gentle, and yet this is still the guy who handed Sayid a knife and dosed Boone and has a largely unknown agenda. The cognitive dissonance resulting from contemplating Creepy O'Quinn, Birthday Cradle-Maker really shouldn't be as enjoyable to me as it is.

In short, go team Fury! And the other guy.

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

And the other guy.

Brent Fletcher, who oooh, now I know why the name was familiar. I just watched that commentary. He wrote "Soul Purpose."

I would ordinarily argue that they aren't, if the "not using this storyline" info came directly from staff. But as they were filtered through Wrongda in this case, it's entirely possible that the producers fed her a line and are actually going to use the story after all.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

He wrote "Soul Purpose."

Go, team ME-alums!

With "Walkabout", "Special" and "Numbers" under his belt, I think Fury can probably claim the mantle of best staff writer on the show.

Me, too. That's the part that made me teary -- when he was just so *relieved* that someone agreed with him.

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

I'm guessing Sayid forgot to mention that Rousseau was battier than a bedbug. Or he doesn't mind validation from the certifiable, which seems unlikely, given his reactions to Charlie's language.

That's the other factor. (Sorry to play spoiler nanny. I just figure it's better it comes from a spoiler thread person, than that some innocent gets offended, corrupted or both.)

And I've loved all of Fury's episodes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Obesity puts you in the psych ward

No, but it can be a symptom. Not obesity per se, but eating only sweets is a symptom of schizophrenia (and I stress ONLY--I eat enough chocolate to put some folks in a coma, but I also manage to throw some protein and veggies in there once in a while). A friend who worked at a halfway house for Psych patients said they used to eat incredible amounts of sugary foods--like entire boxes of Captain Crunch amd Pepsi for breakfast and bags of circus peanuts and stuff like that.
