Go Allyson!
I hope everyone is talking about your party at the wrap party.
I wish I lived on the coast again, so I could go to your events.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.
Book ,'Serenity'
Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

All is well that ends in pizza.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
If Lostzilla gets to eat Jeff Probst
I will pay cash money to see this. Heck, I was advocating for the Survivor All-Stars to make its big twist be that Jeff had to play, instead of just do the Alex Trebek stuff on the sidelines.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You know that Jeff was the host of Rock & Roll Jeopardy, right?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
...but did he eat rat he had killed and cooked himself on that show? I bet not. (Actually, I have never heard of Rock & Roll Jeopardy. Although I do see Marc Summers from Double Dare on Food Network not and then.)

Not so much, but he was very funny. The other bit of R&R Jeopardy trivia I know is that Mark McGrath (once of Sugar Ray, now of Extra) was like the best player ever.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I loves me some Jeff Probst. The man strikes just the right balance between--"this stuff is kinda goofy" and "This game can be really interesting."

Because books.
I like Jeff, too. I never understood why everyone hates him. Not his fault they make him parrot that goofy "The tribe has spoken" nonsense. And I think he's getting snarkier with every season, which is fun.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I'm also wondering if Locke's original injury was at least partly psychosomatic. Powerful stuff, the mind.
Uh Huh. I'm glad someone else has been thinking along these lines. It seems most people automatically assume Locke's paralysis was physical, yet after 4 years his legs are still fine. A psychosomatic cause seems more in tune with the state of his legs, since the muscles wouldn't necessarily atrophy they would with damage to the spine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wouldn't the muscles atrophy just from lack of use? My knee injuries resulted in a fair amount of atrophy, and that was just months of partial use, not years of not any.
Which is to say -- that's not somewhere I'm looking for symptoms to match sense. I doubt they'll resolve cleanly, unless he's been doing isometrics in his sleep this whole time.

Our wings are not tired.
The atrophy would occur no matter the cause of lack of use. I don't imagine they will address that issue. They have left open the possibilities for cause. I haven't heard anything that clearly indicated a physical event. If it was then it will have to link with another character.
