Sorry, I'm a Spelling Nazi.

It wasn't the spelling correction that put me off; it was more the ASSCAPS. I felt like you were shouting at me, "STOP BEING SO STUPID!"

I know that wasn't you're intention. I just got defensive.

So you're saying the cast will be naked on the DVD extras? Sweeeeeeet.

I was about to say, whoever's putting in all that work imagining the cast's wardrobe can take a breather for a few episodes as far as I'm concerned.

Well, what were the numbers again? 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42, right?

So, 4 is the number often referred to on the show. Locke got paralyzed 4 years ago. And, and... something else happened to somebody else 4 years ago that I cannot remember right now.

8 and 15 go together, as 815 is the flight number and the number on Kate's safe deposit box and... something else I forget again.

16 (was it 16?) -- err, not sure about this one. 4 squared, maybe. Oh! Right, 16 years ago, Roussea and Crazy!Lenny heard the transmission.

23. Hmmm. All I've got is 8 + 15 = 23. And some Illuminati stuff that segued into the whole OMGWTFRAMBALDI.

42. Some important number in numerology? Also, how many people are left alive right now? We started off with 48, then we lost, 1) SkyMarshal, 2) Joanna 3) Scott 4) Ethan, so we have 44 right now. I know there's a rumor of Big Main Character Death. Maybe couple of more people will die before the end of season, leaving 42 survivors. (What? I'm reaching.)

I bet Nilly would figure out a way to make sense of 42 mathematically if she were here.

And, and... something else happened to somebody else 4 years ago that I cannot remember right now.

When Kate tackled Sawyer, he was all, "This was my birthday wish from four years ago."

something else I forget again.

Wasn't it a time somewhere? Maybe in Sun's flashback? Like, that was when she was supposed to leave Jin?

Also, yeah, it was 16.

Well, 42 is also the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Okay, I feel like I missed an important class in college: who's Rambaldi?

It's an Alias thing, Teppy. He had all these prophecies, and the first couple seasons were spent searching for Rambaldi artifacts. He is like the Emperor MacGuffin.

and then didn't they just give it up this season, no more references, nothing more doing?

Tep, the burned part comes in with the fact that it seemed like there was this very cool, overreaching arc being built...and it all kind of fizzled into a hand wave hand wave thing that made many of us suspect that they never really had a clue where they were going with it in the first place.

42. Some important number in numerology?

It's the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
