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.
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
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.
I like that, but wasn't it only used in a preview?

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

Aw, man, Hurley losing it really got me.
Also, Jin, it's noble and shit not to leave your wife, but you also have a child.
I'm almost wondering if everything will be reset to the beginning, when we reach the end. Because surely they won't stay dead, right? *sniffle*

That's true, but a child he's never seen. I can understand the wife in front of him being more real and seeming to need him more.
That said, really hope they don't stay dead. Somehow.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Not only that, but I suppose he was thinking there was a very real chance he wasn't going to get off the island even if he survived the sub. If we were to take bets, how many of the people we know are on the island will be able to leave it, do you think?
Only if Daniel's mother shows up with reinforcements do I think more than like 2 people will be able to leave.
Drowning is a terrible way to go, though.
