"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Are you kidding me about the "cousins" running P3 and doing the gossip column? Cuz that's...bad!

The show wasn't too bad around the season that they introduced the magic school, but after that, they haven't even been trying to keep the internal logic of the show straight. That's the single thing that bothers me most - if you can't keep your own myth straight, wtf?

These are writers that thought imitating a Popeye villain for a season opening two-parter was a good idea. Keeping their own myth straight is a rather lofty goal in light of that.

Up with the sun

Matt, you're talking about "A Witch's Tale." And yeah, the costumes in that one were dumb -- they usually are. But the story wasn't without emotional impact (okay, so I'm a sucker for Phoebe/Cole), and I don't think a Sea Hag is intrinsically a goofier villain than a master vampire.

Unfortunately, it is true that the show can't keep its own freaking myth straight. I'm pretty sure they just make it up as they go along. Which may have something to do with why it isn't taken seriously, actually.

I wish I was. (And it's advice, not gossip, not that I'm sure Phoebe knows the difference.) I read it on the spoilers thread on TWoP last month.

Oh about this from the Lost spoilers:

Also, Lindelof says that the mystery surrounding the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 - which was originally going to be solved in a minimovie on the first-season DVD - will be resolved this season. "By the finale of Season 2," he says, "you will know why the plane crashed."

Didn't they promise that regarding the finale of Season ONE?!?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I vote "turbulence."

Pay no attention to the shiny red floating ball.

Maybe Rambaldi's in the hatch!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

LJ, oh yes! It was an advice column. That may have been my freudian dress showing.

I think it's the other, unknown until now, Derevko sister.

No, not that one. The other one. No, the other other one. No, the other other other one.
