That is really cool, Allyson.
I, however, am an idiot, since I thought that the party was the following weekend. It doesn't make a difference, really, but I need to work out a couple of things.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Huh. Our modest little party seems to have garnered a mention in the Chicago Tribune.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)
beth is me! The BF mocks me for bringing so many books when I almost always either buy more or get them as gifts on my trip - and hardly ever finish all of them unless my relatives leave me alone enough (read: almost never) - BUT I'd rather carry the extra weight than chance being without reading material of my choice when away from home. Carryon: usually 2 - the one I'm currently reading and a spare in case I finish the first one on the plane. But often I buy another one or two in the airport bookstore/newstand. Those ones are usually either Elizabeth Peters or Stephen King. Very, very rarely I'll buy a magazine.
re: the Numbers Stations - did anyone else get a major wiggins from this:
The voices that can be heard on these stations are often those of children, or are mechanically generated.
Sounds like a horror movie gimmick but still - eeee.
re: Hurley as patient - count me on the side of those who say Yes - but I can't think what for. (Think if it was schitzophrenia or something involving delusions, he would have been a lot more doubting of his own instincts regarding the numbers being cursed. Yes, he badly wanted validation - and finally got it from Rousseau - but before that he didn't seem to question himself/his sense of reality even though everyone else kept saying it was crazy.)
Agree it was telegraphed pretty obviously - for this show anyway - but we've seen stuff that wasn't a major surprise in the flashbacks before. Jack's first ep telegraphed the second IIRC.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Is there are buffista login for the Tribune, Kristen (or anyone)?
Finally got around to watching last night, and knew I wouldn't catch up here before bed. Nothing much to add. Loved the ep. Fury rocks it, per usual. Loved, loved, LOVED the scene with Rousseau and Hurley.
Also, I really hope Locke turns out to have his own agenda, but not necessarily an evil one. I like how he could go almost any way now.

BugMeNot gave me privacy1st@mailinator.com password=tribune and that worked.

Huh, didn't for me. Or did you need to put in the whole "password=tribune"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No, just tribune. Worked fine for me.

Aha. I sussed the problem. My cut&paste of the email address was leaving a space on the end.
That's cool - hopefully other newspapers are following suit.

btw ita, I think it was you that first pointed me to BugMeNot.com. It is a wonderful site. Thanks.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Did anyone catch the voices in the backgroud when they did the close up on the hatch? I thought I heard a man speaking and a woman scream.
No, as was noted already, the sounds of screaming were the stereotypical monkey/chimp screeching you always hear in jungle/tropical island locations. Even when there is no evidence simians are within a thousand miles of said location.
I'm also betting Hurley was a psych patient.
I'm also betting the "sickness" that over-took Rousseau's party was mental. Remember, she never actually said it was a physical ailment, just a "sickness". Just like Leonard now has a "sickness".
