Chris Carter-itis, definitely. I enjoyed the ep, but was kinda eyerolly about the "Charlie's destined to die" bit at the end. My inner cynic will be really surprised if they do kill him, since DM is one of the more high profile actors on the show.(OK, was at the time it started, not sure about now)

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, that was a really interesting episode and not what I was expecting at all. I do love me some time travel mayhem, and the actor who plays Desmond is very good, so it turned out pretty well.
I didn't really understand how that whole adventure ended up giving Desmond prophetic flashes or how he survived the hatchpocalypse or why he went back in time at all, if he did, or...well, there was some cool stuff about fate and course correction, so I'm good. And I wonder if they'll go through with killing Charlie. I hope they do.
But ABC has to find it hilarious, the number of times they've used "THE ANSWERS WILL FINALLY BE REVEALED" for a Lost promo. I'm never sure what gets answered because it's never straight; each answer is, "Aha, HERE'S SOMETHING WEIRDER TO FOCUS ON."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
DX, I think I hurt something laughing at that post.

Well, Desmond took note of the numbers last night, when the delivery guy mentioned suite 815.
The delivery guy said "Delivery for (4) 815." Spooky.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Crumbs, DX just killed me. Ded. Dedder than something blue that's pining for the fjords.
I just totally went to an Eastenders place. I don't think anybody will understand me.
Oh yes, yes indeed. Have just been catching up with Season 2 Doctor Who (sans sound, so I'm reliving that whole silent movie experience by just reading the subtitles) and was reduced to giggles by the following:
(I'm paraphrasing from memory, btw)
Redshirt Of The Week: (as she heads blythely towards the big scarey seal on the Satan Pit where, it appears, Satan has been secretly imprisoned) "There's no turning back now."
The Doctor: "Don't say that! Good grief! That's as bad as saying 'Nothing can possibly go wrong', or 'This is going to be the best Christmas Walford has ever had'."
Well, it made ME giggle.
As is your recap of LOST, good people. Sigh. I do find Kate and Sawyer very shaggable, and quite want to see Sawyer and Jack get it on, but the whole recent focus on The Angsty Triangle Of Hawt is just all kinds of disappointing. I like the big cast, damn it! Locke! Mr Eko (weep! Oh, how I miss ye!)! Charlie! Hurley! Sun and Jin! Sayeed! Come back and have plotlines!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So I watched the "This is what's been happening" episode. And I watched that week's episode and last week's episode.
And I am so confused.
I don't really remember when I quit. But the SO likes it again, so I want to have something besides Numb3rs to watch with him. But I am so confused.
I'm guessing I should just shrug and watch the pretty and go along with things? That's what it sounds like to me from the discussion.
And also, isn't Desmond's backstory totally Jin's, but with fewer guilt puppies?

It would be interesting to know if Jin washed out of the military too.

Yeah, but instead of dealing with Sun's dad (who welcomed Jin a little too much into the family) he's dealing Sydney Bristow's, corporate edition.

No, no - He's Kristen's dad from the OC. . . without the heart condition (so far.)
