Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

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

Nothing, man. Nothing!

Well, her use of Netspeak.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I've been watching from the beginning online, too, since I was even later than Ash (started with "Run!" after mainlining all the TWOP recaps).

Re: HRG's memory-wipe commands:

He tells the Haitian to "go deep" with Matt, who apparently only loses his abduction and recall of his telepathy before it.

He says "hollow him out" (but not "go deep") with the quarterback, who is gifted with complete amnesia.

(and speaking of the QB, Claire completely rocks for driving him into a wall. You go, girl!!)

(FWIW, "Company Man" completely broke me, shooting Mr. Bennet to the top of my favourites from his previous jockeying for number 2 or 3. It never occurred to me he was asking for an extreme memory wipe on the bridge; I just figured he wanted to lose enough to give him plausible deniability about Claire's disappearance.)

All is well that ends in pizza.

extreme memory wipe on the bridge

Man is my brain in need of this day off. When you said that, I thought, "When was HRG on a spaceship?"

I think Mr Linderman needs a wife. I'm voting on Mary Steenbergen.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Jack Coleman (HRG): My character was the only one that didn’t warrant a multi-layered audition. I had a one page audition for a guest spot.

Holy crap, this is incredible. I mean, think about it--one-page audition, minor character, basically "the creepy guy" + "the dad." Could have been nothing more than a stand-in for Claire's own arc. Instead, we get the complexity and craft that was "Company Man." That's some damn acting chops, right there.

It appears one good lesson that the producers took from Lost was being very organic about developing their characters from a selection of interesting actors, not to mention the varied ethnic and racial casting.

Yeah, 'cause didn't Lost do the same thing with Jack (who was originally going to die in the pilot)?

Yeah, but don't most people hate Jack?

I know they created the part of Hurley just because they liked Jorge Garcia so much. Or at least heavily reworked the character to gear it to him.
