Willow ,'End of Days'
[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.
I also need to point out that aircraft are made primarily of aluminum, titanium, and composites, all of which are non-magnetic.
Oh sure, for your garden variety magnets, but this is a magical magnet, silly.
ION...I don't think I like this show any more. I mostly just sit back and enjoy the ride, but we just spent the last two hours of the season on the backstory of a very-occasional recurring character who may well be dead.

I don't mind that. At least we got his backstory. I still want to know more about Libby, damnit.
was anyone else waiting for another plane crash?
yep, i was.
Me! Me!
eta: Look, time twin with tiggy! Cool.

Based on how the show ended, I think that backstory may be relevant whether he is alive or not.
Who is doing the Hanso stuff? Has anyone read these job descriptions? [link]
Well, I know a lot of the good post show discussion will happen after I leave. so I'll catch up later. Night all.
I'm so bored I can't even...bleah.
I mean, dude. I honestly don't mind shit being made up on the fly, I really don't. But after two years, someone needs to make a fucking decision about what something, anything, means. Make your world up as you go along, but damnit, commit to what you've made up once you've done it. "Look, somthing shiny!" is not good worldbuilding.
(And I wouldn't even mind the lame-ass worldbuilding if there were something interesting going on with the main characters, but there's not even any drama there anymore!)
I think I'll probably skip S3. Wake me if something happens, though.

At first I thought that plummeting hatch with the "quarantine" sign on it was the plane engine from Donnie Darko falling to earth.
As someone who keeps quitting this stupid series, it irritates the crap (and the carp, which I originally typed) out of me that no one on this show can tell another person the vital piece of information that should be obvious at the time that it should obviously be said. Everyone talks like gnomic Hallmark cards. I've said it before and will say it again: these people deserve any bad luck that befalls them because they are all written to be as stupid a possible. Why would Hume (was his first name Desmond?) not tell Locke immediately that he tried not entering the numbers before and the whole station nearly went kablooey? Why would Jack confront Michael about his betrayal when he did rather than later? Why wouldn't Michael mention the thing Walt said about the Others not being who they appear to be? Why do the Others assume that directionally-challenged Hurley can find his way back to the camp? How in hell was Clancy Brown (!) painting the stupid map from memory so accurately? And, most importantly, how was his character a representation of the ideas of John Calvin or Hume's character a representation of the ideas of David Hume? I get why Locke & Rousseau are so named, but is this shit just arbitrary?
That said, I'm pretty sure that most aircraft navigational equipment would be affected by powerful electromagnet bursts. It's not unreasonable that the plane could have been flying blind at a different altitude than it thought (which would explain the high survival rate, too).
Also, if what's-his-face, Eko, and Locke aren't all dead, I'm quitting this show again. Heck, I'm still disappointed that the boat Michael & Walt were on didn't blow up immediately.
