The creators/writers of the show have claimed they planned the characters' deaths waaay back, but I'm taking that with a large grain of NaCl.
I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

[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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Yeah, creators/writers always do that when the show is on the air. Ten years from now, when they're doing hyper-commentaries for the "special anniversary holographic future-DVD remix edition" of Lost, they'll casually mention that MR and CW were shitcanned for drunk driving and they had two days to write in their deaths.

So, a bit of an update on the ARG:
I just called and got through, and was given a menu of options (white fonted on general principles):
"press 1 for general information, 2 for Alvar Hanso, 3 for Thomas (middlename) Middlewerk, 4 for Hugh McIntyre, and 5 for Phil Thompson. (I didn't write down any of the names). The only button I pressed was 5, which was for Hanso's Chief Legal Officer and Council or somesuch, Phil Thompson. Pressing 5 got you transfered to his voice mail, where a woman said Phil was unavailable, and if you wanted to comment on some particular matter, we regret to inform you... then the phone was taken out of her hands, and Phil Thompson came on and said "Whoever is making death threats against us, I warn you, we will find you, and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. (wryly) Namaste." Or words to that effect. I wish I'd had the presence of mind to write down more of what I was hearing. I've tried googling info from it all to see if anything shows up, but so far I'm coming up empty.
I've tried the number again since, and either don't get connected or get a busy signal.
UPDATED: I got through again a moment ago, got some of the names down, and tried the general info option this time. General info transfers you to an option that begins giving you Hanso's physical address, but before it finishes, static renders it inaudible, then "Persephone" breaks in and tells you not to believe the lies, and to use the password "breaking strain" at the website. I suspect Jess has things she's not telling us.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Here's the problem with their deaths (and that they were "planned" from the beginning)...
1) how will Hurley find out that he was stalked? Maybe she left behind a journal - which would be a good thing.
2) How will Jack find out he has a sister?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I would be awfully surprised if we don't get some of Libby's backstory.

BTW, on the island, A-L has killed 2 people that we know of. Is this what Henry was referring to?

Goodwin and who else?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Shannon.

Right. So, then is Shannon an "Other"?

I'm confuzzled. le nub just said "A-L has killed 2 people." She didn't say Others.
