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

We're meant to assume that Balloon Guy is one of the Others, right?

God, I hope not. I want Sayid's "I don't feel guilty about torturing him, ergo he must be evil" theory to be ripped to fucking shreds.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Balloon Guy looked familiar and I want to say he played a serial killer in something. I'm leaning towards The Inside, but it could have been Angel.

He was! He was the pre-filer guy on the Inside! I knew I should know him from somewhere.

He did look familiar. And I'm with Jessica. Sayid has become as single-minded as Jack in his own way and just as crazy. Hmmm, Rousseau's a tad crazy. Maybe it's catching?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The way I saw it, time ran out, and the hieroglyphics were basically the start of The Big Bad, but Locke managed to cut off The Big Bad before it really kicked in. It's a tease, but hey, that's Lost.

What is even happening?

The daughter and I were discussing this, we're wanking it that not all the hieroglyphs had appeared yet so it reset once Locke entered the numbers. We sure were hoping for more BOOM at zero than what we got.

That's a great wank.

Like how Buffy had time to stick the sword through Angel, even though Al Franken had started to suck him and the world into hell.

Exactly! Kinda like TV time bombs -- you've got at least half a second after the counter hits zero to cut the red wire.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I was really hoping Locke wouldn't get the numbers in time, so we could see that NOTHING HAPPENS.

The heiroglyphs being a tease to freak the button-pusher out before he looks around and says, "....waitaminnit..." and sees that it's all a psych-out.

Michael Emerson. I loathe David Kelley but for some reason I was dumb enough to watch The Practice, and Emerson will always be Lindsay's stalker to me (as Clancy Brown will always be the big guy in Bad Boys.) In real life he's married to Carrie Preston, who played the mother on the same Inside episode and the nun on Wonderfalls.
