I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Xanadu!

Shame on y'all for not mentioning there was Xanadu!

I don't know if anything can be gleaned from a story of a muse who falls in love with a mortal artist. I suppose it has less significance than Watership Down or whatever that novel was.

But, Xanadu!

/much love, despite the rollerscating and the animation sequence. ELO!!!! Gene Kelly!!!

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

I thought we were still counting up to the Oceanic Six. Jack, Hurley, Kate, Sayid, now Aaron, and 1 we don't know yet - perhaps the person in the coffin, perhaps not.

Well, Ben may or may not count. I'm also unclear whether Aaron counts. I think Aaron may count more than Ben, though; the lawyer made it sound like the kid was uberfamous, so he must have had his mug splashed across the papers as well. Man, I can't believe one of the slots for the Oceanic Six was taken up by the BABY. (I mean, sure, fine, baby, yay, but...he's not really a character!)

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I don't think Ben counts.

Claire was told by psychic lady not to let anybody else bring up her kid. I don't know if that's significant.

The show almost feels Aliasish nowadays, what with Sayid and Ben being uber assassins having some kind of war with other powerful people in the real world. Not that I'm knocking it - episode 3 was really brilliant, I thought.

I was thinking about that very thing during that scene with Kate and Aaron and Claire. I was also thinking of the fact that I feel like the writers are sort of pretending the first two seasons never happened.

Yeah, I think I was right when I said the flash forward thing was going to be reboot city back in May. Unfortunately, I think was a little too right - it's given them lots more WTF to open, that's for sure.

I'm thinking Claire didn't exactly have a choice in the matter...

Our wings are not tired.

I agree le nubian. I have no clue what the reasons, but it seems unlikely that Claire decided she wanted to stay on the island, but wanted Kate to raise her baby.

I'm wondering... If some kind of time shift is going on (and it evidently is) (it's also covered a bit on the latest Lost podcast), if Claire leaves the island if the kiddling would die. 'cos it wasn't born when she got to The Island. My logic is probably broken, but you never know. Although she would have just stayed on the island with the kid, I suppose. Unless staying on the island was problematic. Doesn't explain why Jack doesn't like the kid, though.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Okay, so, totally not seen the episode (or indeed many many other episodes) but I have to ask - what was the Xanadu reference, exactly?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Hurley was watching it on video in his bungalow.
