i didn't notice that another patient had also seen charlie.  i thought hurley was just being crazy.

here's some fun...i found both of these on whitney matheson's "pop candy" blog...

anyway....on to tonight's episode!!!!!!!  YAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!!

i honestly disagree with the supposition that "obama lacks the cajones" to make change.  if you think about what specifically the president of the US does, you'll realize that the most important characteristic in a president is DELEGATION and the ability to surround oneself with competent people.  not necessarily people who always agree with you...but brilliant, competent, committed people of good character.  (and yes, such people DO exist.)  if obama's experience has proven anything, it's that he is capable of working with people of all political parties...and able to surround himself well.  hillary has accepted too much money from special interests, owes too many people, and comes with too much baggage...she is downright divisive...whereas barack is a bringer-together-er.   

mccain, love him or hate him, at least he's honest and straightforward and is a person of reasonably good character.  i could live with him...but NOT with huckabee or romney.  if the end contest is hillary v. mccain, there will be serious soul-searching going on at our house...and that would be made harder if it were clinton/obama (but i doubt that would happen).  i told my husband that if it comes to hillary v. mccain and he votes mccain, he won't have to sleep on the couch.  (whereas, his ass would have TOTALLY been on the couch had he voted for GWB.)

i have NOT heard that hillary is leading...actually CNN, an hour ago, had she and barack in a deadlock...mccain winning on the R side overall but huckabee taking WV (which...i lived there for awhile...every joke you've ever heard about the place is THE TRUTH, and i'm not kidding.)

you know what? i can't generally stand russell crowe either...but i thought this was in my top 5 movies of last year.

1. we DON'T know the parachute man...he's new. he's the guy who's been on the sat phone.

2. YES...it's all flash-forwards now.  The producers said that at the halfway point of the series (which was the finale of season 3...an episode that had BOTH flash forwards AND flashbacks...) they were going to stop doing flashbacks and do flash forwards.

3. i missed the reference to the "oceanic 6."  though i do believe that some people do leave, some people do stay.  obviously, we know that jack, hurley, and kate left; we know that kate is happy to be back, but that jack is not and that hurley has been driven insane by it (i think, insane with guilt because he knows the other passengers are still on the island and still alive, but it's a secret they've agreed to keep...like when jack asked him point blank, and when he lied about knowing analucia or having any idea what happened to her). whoever was in the coffin at the end of season 3 came back, too. 

4. who do you guys think is in the coffin? there are soooo many people it could have been, if you consider that nobody came to the funeral, and the number of characters on the show who have no family or friends...locke, sawyer, ben...  someone i know suggested that maybe it was michael, while walt maybe stayed on the island.  my official guess is ben, because of how hateful kate's voice was when she said, "why would i want to go to THAT funeral?"

5. when kate says "he'll wonder where i am."  at the end of season 3...did she find a new guy, or is she with sawyer?

6. i think john locke clearly stays because he has always had a special connection to the island.  i think bernard and rose (the older couple with the black lady and the white man) are going to stay, because rose is another person who experienced ridiculous healing from the island (she had some inoperable, incurable disease which disappeared on the island).  i think sun is going to want to go, because she's pregnant and may die if she stays to try to deliver...and i think claire and the baby are going to leave (because desmond saw it happen in one of his visions).

my guess about the nature of the island is that it's kind of like a hub, a port, a window between alternate realities.  so if jack, kate, hurley, etc. get on one helicopter and fly home, they won't come back to the same reality, the same version of the world, as the people who get on the next helicopter.

my question is....did edwards drop out now to help barack or hillary?

(ducks head back out)

i agree with many of these, but here are a couple more...

"i believe i speak for al of us, captain, when i say...to HELL with our orders, sir."  (--Cmdr. Data)

"lens cap!"  (--the last line of "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow")

ok can i go back to this thread and update my answer, now that i've seen "there wil be blood?" what a bowl of goose poop....HORRIBLE...

An anagram of Aravel, the earliest known city of the Chicken Empire, or so the myth goes. The myth tells of how chickens, because not being able to run or fly, developed their cognitive abilities instead. Though the War-Mongering humans managed to bring terror to their people. The humans enslaved the population of the empire. They retained control over them so long, people simply forgot this proud species had intelligence. Through the blunder of a young boy thinking it was a simply domesticated farm animal, human-king learned the practical applications of chicken meat. Thus leading to the form of the chicken we know today.

(LMAO....fantastic!!!!!!)

carry on, then...(and skip me...you're on Cool AN)
