The Girl keeps pointing out that Kate was on Jacob's list (at the lighthouse), and that there was no reason why she should be crossed off the other list. And then I remind her that logic and Lost don't really mix.

I've heard discussion that the use of Gene Wilder's S.S. Wonkatina chant from Willy Wonka in one of the priviews was very deliberate. Jacob IS looking for a successor, after all, and doesn't seem overly concerned when bad things happen to the candidates.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I think sideways Locke is going to be the ultimate candidate.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Of course my mind keeps flashing to Highlander. I can't help it, but I hear Queen just about any time anyone mentions "candidate."
"I am immortal..."
I wonder what Widmore's plan is with Desmond.

I like that, but wasn't it only used in a preview?

The logic I've seen is that was deliberate in order to throw Smokey off. The cave list was a decoy.

As I said (except for spelling it "priview" by accident). I just saw some speculation in Entertainment Weekly on how deliberate it's use was. Random cultural reference, or deliberate clue?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It's been far too long since I felt interest in deconstructing a preview quite this much.
