23 Skidoo?
The island is run by Discordans, at the behest of the Illuminati.
Tracy: 'When you can't run, you crawl... and when you can't crawl, when you can't do that--' Zoe: 'You find someone to carry you.'

So you're saying the cast will be naked on the DVD extras? Sweeeeeeet.
They don't mess around with the extras.
I was deconstructing the numbers for another Lost fan here at work, and we couldn't figure out a connection for 23--any ideas?
I haven't been able to figure out a specific show connection, but, like 42, it has external significance. The number 23 figures prominently in the Illuminatus triology, by Bob Shea and Robert Anton Wilson.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
Am I the only one who was going "They need Charlie Eppes from Numb3rs to crashland on the island and figure the code out for them?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"They need Charlie Eppes from Numb3rs to crashland on the island and figure the code out for them?"
The title of the ep had me right there.

Illuminatus--thanks!
The EW recap is up, and very funny:
I loved it that Sawyer made a ''Short Round'' reference in the same episode in which the guys had to cross a very Temple of Doom-esque rope bridge. (''Doctah Jones! Doctah Jones! Booty traps!'')...
If [Claire's] kid's gonna be the Antichrist, I say let's just get it over with. Maybe the baby will pop out with 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 tattooed on his forehead.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
any writer who has manipulated me enough to make me burst into hysterical laughter when I see a suicide jumper falling past an office window in one scene
I'm not sure it was a suicide. More likely some poor window washer who reached a bit too far to get the last spot on that window up on thirty.

The status is NOT quo.
Valid point, DX. Still, either way, I should not have reacted with laughter.

Good thing Hurley wasn't around this morning:
Dangling window washers rescued in LA
LOS ANGELES - Two window washers were rescued Thursday through a 10th-floor window after their scaffolding collapsed, leaving them dangling for about 40 minutes off a downtown building.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
There were window washers here yesterday-I wonder if that was our building.
