Ha. Today's Woot shirt has an awesome summary of the show:

Scared survivors of a plane crash. First they all fought each other. Then they had to organize against the mysterious forces of nature outside. Then they all fought each other. Then the Others showed up from outside. Then they all fought each other. Then they kinda all teamed up against the people in the rest of the plane who came from outside. Then they all fought each other. Then everybody that was left teamed up against a crazy guy in a boat who came from outside. Then they all fought each other. Then there were two groups of people fighting with each other, one group off the island and one group in the past, while still pretending to happily fit in among their relative outsiders. Then things went bad and they all fought each other openly. Then they slowly regrouped and fought each other a little, but mostly just stood together against the forces outside. Finally everybody was in one place and they decided fight together against the big evil monster who came from outside, and we just learned this whole thing started when two guys, standing together against outside forces, decided to fight each other because of the way their mother decided to fight against the outside forces to teach them to stand together. So we’re thinking that this week, there’s either going to be one last round of all fighting each other or maybe everyone will decide to stand against a previously unknown outside force, which they will then have to all join together to fight. Should be a good one, right?

Oh, and if that recap offends you, please keep in mind that, within the sentences, we’ve hidden the names of three Chinese authors, five obscure American pop songs, two noted German philosophers and the names of every member of the 1978 Harlem Globetrotters. So maybe now you’ll like it a little bit more.

Oh, thank you, Laura.

That's funny, Sunil. Is it just me, or is it hard to read, though?

My recap is up at TWoP. [link]

Here's a teaser:

Moral: There's this tantalizing glow. Its name and origin are both a big question mark, so I'll call it XX. Now there's some of this inside of man (let's call man XY), but once man is exposed to the glowing, warm, wet passageway leading to the XX source, he loses all restraint. Armed with only his tiny but mighty X, he tries to take the glowing, warm, wet XX and...

eta... Okay, is quoted text wider now than it used to be? Something looks different to me -- not just in P-C's post, but in mine, too.

that teaser is INSANE.

Thank you.

OMG. I am still laughing.

Hee. That's awesome, le nubian. But did you see that tunnel? At one point, they give us a shot of the boys and their mother from inside the tunnel. The greenery is hanging down from the top. I wanted to put something in there about going au natural vs. waxing, but I couldn't do it without pushing it.

All the People Who Died. Six years of deaths in six minutes. Who has a higher body count: Ben, Smokey, or Sayid?

Sayid is a distant 3rd.

Smokey has to be ahead by a long shot.

Yeah, but Ben gassed the entire Dharma Initiative.

yes, but smokey has done that and more since 43 A.D.
