Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Did anyone notice that Hurley sped by a group of cheerleaders with the numbers on their sweaters?

Oh, and apparently the Redemption Theme from The Shawshank redemption was playing at some point?

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.

Best theory stolen from AICN Talkbacks: "Walt was controlling Hurley with his Gameboy."

Are you sure they were referring to "the Others" and not "the others"?

Yeah because Kimmel was like "but what did we really learned" and they said "you know who the Others are now."

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

I found this linked on TWoP. Don't know if it's been posted here yet but for those who love Sawyer...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

HA! I like this theory.

they said "you know who the Others are now."

Not really. But we do know that they exist as more than just voices.

Maybe, in an as-yet-unshown scene, Hurley gave Walt the Gameboy.

It was an apparent team of softball players.

Oh, and apparently the Redemption Theme from The Shawshank redemption was playing at some point?

It was actually the Redemption Song by Bob Marley (which earned Sawyer some points from Michael). I'm not familiar with that song, but the lyrics include a line about "pirates coming to steal you away" or something like that (nice forshadowing of what happens to Walt).

You need to listen to some Marley. Who doesn't love Marley, man?

Reggae's cool in small doses, but the rhythm gets to me over time. The same...damn...beat...song after song. Just like I can't listen to dance music for too long, either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Old pirates, yes they rob I, sold I to the merchant ship. Minutes after they took us, from the bottomless pit.

It's got pirates, slaves, redemption, and fate.

As for slavery -- they posited it went out of Mozambique, and was therefore not part of the standard American slave trade. I don't know anything about the style of ship, but that is more important than the dates of slavery's end in this neck of the world. Plus -- the slaves were for mining, and that's TOTALLY roomy for a Middle Passage hold.
