Between Lost and Alias, this is definitely "JJ is a meanie" night.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Kate will more likely have Locke's back than Jack's. If I were Kate I would have Jack on my lying sack of shit list.
Yeah well it isn't like Kate tells the truth all the time either.

All is well that ends in pizza.
It wasn't slaves to the USA.
Slavery wasn't invented by the colonies, nor was it stopped worldwide because of the US Civil war.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
IIRC, Brazil was the last major nation to stop slavery (aside from home-grown versions) in the 1880s. I'm talking the wide-scale trans-oceanic shipment of slaves, not what goes on in Africa, et cetera, today.

Heh. I suppose it's just more likely that the producers haven't much more knowledge of history than your average high school student who spent most of the year on the Revolutionary War and two weeks on the Civil War and never got beyond Reconstruction, if at all.
Or, well, maybe special slavers, at that.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
And had crates of dynamite with the word "Explosives" stenciled very neatly and mechanically-looking in their hold? I have my suspicions that the Black Rock might be less authentic than it appears, and no older than the hatch or the broadcast radio message.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I handwaved it as the explosives being from Rossseu's ship, and she was just storing it in the Black Rock.

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)
When the Iron Giant appeared she was supposed to drop her bag and run. Instead she just ran. If the dynamite had been in her bag with all that banging around there'd probably be a new Kate-shaped crater.
My thoughts exactly, only I was saying to the TV: "Hello, Kate, dumbass, you're supposed to be dead now!" Honestly, I haven't always hated her, but lately she's been really annoying - and it would serve her right and be a real Darwinism if she got blowed up real good because she was too dumb not to RUN WITH DYNAMITE!! Stupid Kate, won't even die when she's supposed to. Why Jack was "protecting" her I have no idea, even he was making these faces like he was disgusted with her.
I liked this ep a lot aside from the fact that it had about 85 million commercials.
Did anyone else think that the fact that the rudder fell off the instant Walt said, "She was wrong" about his mom not letting Michael see Walt meant that Walt wished they could stay on the island? 'Cause I couldn't figure out what they could have hit to make the rudder magically fall off with such force like that.
Also, Hurley SO should have volunteered to carry all the dynamite. Of course, no one would have believed him, but that's what I was expecting him to do.
I knew Arzt was toast when he had more lines in the teaser than the clique. Also HA HA HA HA everything about that was funny.
Also loved Locke fucking with Jack and doing the Operator "bzzt!" noise. That was like something my BF would do.
ETA I've given up on Alias - I just don't care anymore.
