I was briefly tempted to whip out DH's American Express card to get the "members only" stuff off the net. But I'm far too lazy. And annoyed. Did I mention annoyed?
Has anyone else done the Amex thing?
You want to meet the real me now?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Cashmere is me. (Not on the Amex thing; on the giving it 2 more episodes thing.) (Well, and I'm going to give it only 1 more episode.)

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)
I liked it! I think the show'll be much better without so many commercial breaks. (That's going to happen this year, right? When they run straight through?) That was a hell of an opener. Did anyone see what SK book they were reading? It was way too thin to be The Stand.
And yes, I did sit through FIVE useless years of the X-Files - if I'd only gotten out after the movie, I'd have been so much better off.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Okay, I thought it was hilarious that they mirrored the beginning of last year's premiere.
But...what? They have all these fucking houses out there. What was with all the huts and shacks, then? They have dresses and bacon and Stephen King novels? WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY GETTING ALL THIS SHIT FROM? How did they get all that information on Jack? As the Others get more and more omnipotent and omniscient, it stops feeling cool and starts feeling lazy.
I'm really not sure what the hell is going on, and that's okay. They do know how to keep us on our toes.
Do the names Juliet and Ben mean anything? Have we heard them before?

What is even happening?
I watched. I'm giving this two more episodes. I'm starting to get annoyed. I feel like I'm pushing the button and all I'm getting is a fucking fish biscuit.
Oh Cashmere, were it not for the spoiler, I'd COMM this. To heck with it. I'll COMM it with white font.
This just keeps getting wierder. First question, if these guys have all of this sophistication, why are they letting Danielle run around loose?
quester, who the heck is Danielle? I feel so stupid. I watched the whole episode, and didn't fall asleep or anything.
Do the names Juliet and Ben mean anything? Have we heard them before?Juliet Capulet and Ben Franklin? I don't know, but I doubt the writers do either. As far as I'm concerned, Fury was so right about the plan being there is no plan.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I've basically taken the view that I just don't care that much about the extra stuff. As I said to G last night, if it's not onscreen, it's not important to me. I'll be damned if I'm gonna go to ten thousand websites to get some "information" which really doesn't matter in the long run.
(I am also a survivor of X-Files, so I take all "we have this planned out well in advance" talk with a huge grain of salt)

Cindy, Danielle was the crazy lady who tortured Sayid and stole Claire's baby.

Heck, I knew it was going to be so boring I played a computer game while I watched. I don't think I missed anything important from what I could see. And I'm getting very frustrated with such a slow payoff. They could resolve at least one story line per episode.
