I think that Lost won't have to go that route because unlike Alias they are pulling in a nice big audience. I believe that Alias has gone through a bunch of re-tooling in order to get non-obsessives to watch.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Sean and I are obviously HGTTG junkies. I can't even see the number 42 without instantly thinking that.
I don't understand the existence of people who don't think of that. Okay, me before I read the book. But still.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
With "Walkabout", "Special" and "Numbers" under his belt, I think Fury can probably claim the mantle of best staff writer on the show.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, this was a great episode. Go Fury. I kept pausing the tivo to wave my hands around and exclaim.
I love Hurley, and I liked his mom a lot, too. Love all the interconnectedness. It's fantastic, even if only incidental. I also loved what Vonnie was reacting to, the way that obsessives like us can watch and enjoy and squee, but it isn't in such a way that casual viewers can't watch, too.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I don't understand the existence of people who don't think of that.
Same here.
Also, Jessica, Kristin, Sean and P-C are obviously very hoopy.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I don't understand the existence of people who don't think of that.
Hey, standing right here! Or should I be having some kind of existential crisis?
Signed, also haven't finished the LotR books, have read no Harry Potter, That Book with Rabbits, and whichever book Sawyer was reading in this episode. I should walk around in smock with a giant P branded in the front for Philistine.

Flailing around at the numbers...
I looked up the sequence in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, and came up empty.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I was a big geek last night and tried adding all the different combinations of those number to find anything significant. I didn't really find anything (although I had fun number crunching).

Man. And here I thought we had something in common.

Yeah, I added them together and got 108. Which is 9 x 12.
AND OMG 9/12 IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!11

I think he was reading "A Wrinkle in Time" this ep. He must have found a kid's suitcase this time around. With that long of a flight, I'm surprised there wasn't more reading material on board.
