I'm starting to think Ben might just not be aware that Locke will come back to life upon returning to the island. As it's been said, him convincing him to not commit suicide only to kill him minutes later was ultimately pointless. The only other instance we might be able to compare Locke's situation to would be Christian after the first crash, but we're unsure if he's actually alive or not. But who knows if Ben is even aware of Christian's presence on the island (ghost or not). Further, while Ben knows the island can heal, who knows if he knows that it can bring people back from the dead. When he told Jack that they needed to bring Locke's corpse back, he might have just been basing it on Eloise's orders to mirror the original flight with proxies.

While I thought the same thing, he did seem pretty ghostly in his first appearances in season one when he was constantly disappearing as Jack searched for him. Although, maybe that actually was Jack hallucinating as originally thought. I'm drawing a blank on his next appearance... was it when Hurley peaked into the cabin and he was seen for a split second?

So Locke and the new losties are on the Hydra island right?

I read a magazine interview with Cuse & Lindeloff last weekend where they said we would find out more about Walt by the end of the show, so I'd assume not.

Does the audio seem un-synched on anyone else's broadcast?

I find that it's usually not worth ridiculing anyone regarding Lost theories since no matter how ridiculous it sounds, almost nothing is implausible. Hell, even I "guessed" (but didn't actually mean) that the canoe with the Ajira airline water bottle was from Jack & crew returning to the island via crashed plane a few weeks back. But hey, suddenly Charles Widmore doesn't seem like that bad of a guy.

I know it just came on today, but how long is this going to be available until?

I hope you know that it was a joke. I know some people in the WWE folder get very upset with repostings.

Damnit Venkman! It was already posted!

She backed up her work on another server and pulled it from that. That's a pretty decent explanation and shows that Chloe is very careful. Oh, guess I completely missed that. http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/24-Season-7/11376 TVShowsOnDVD.com is reporting that season 7 is scheduled for a May 19 release date for DVD and Blu-ray. That would be one day after the season finale, so it's just a little bit strange. I guess if they actually have filmed the rest of the season with all the extra time they've had, it would be possible. But wouldn't Fox now be running the risk of having the last few episodes leaked onto the internet, similar to the first four episodes of season 6 due to the preview disc? If it actually stays a release date of 5/19, I'm actually kind of tempted to wait for the DVD set just so I can speed watch it.

Anyone know anything about the supposed Blu-ray release for this year's Royal Rumble? I see Silvervision has an April release date listed, but I haven't seen anything anywhere else, making me wonder if it's actually being released.

On the last Raw before WM14, Kane & Paul Bearer announced they had gone to the graveyard that Kane & Undertaker's parents (this was before Paul Bearer was revealed as Kane's biological father) were buried. They dug up their caskets and brought them to Raw. They sat the caskets on the stage and Kane was going to use his magical command of pyro to set them on fire until Undertaker showed up on the stage. It was the first time Undertaker had been seen since they set the casket on fire at the Rumble with him in it. Taker said Kane finally crossed the line and he would make him rest in peace at WM14. I only remember this so vividly because Taker was using a hands-free microphone. He just walked out and started talking. It was the first time I had seen that. And yes, it was just as Russo-rific as it sounds. You're probably right about some things, but I'm pretty sure you're off on some details and timing. IIRC, after Taker was burnt alive in the casket at the Rumble, he went missing for several weeks. I want to say in early March, Kane was scheduled to face Steve Austin in the main event of Raw, but shit happened (DX jumping Austin, I believe?), and the match never took place. At that point, I think Kane ended up beating up a planted fan in the front row, and that's when Taker returned with the big scene on the stage, complete with hands-free mic and lightning bolt effects, which I thought was one of the coolest endings to Raw ever. Plus, there's no way that Taker accepted Kane's challenge only a week before WM. In fact, I remember a bunch of other things in weeks leading up to WM, mainly being Taker playing mind games with Kane (setting a Kane lookalike in a casket on fire, magically appearing/disappearing in Kane's presence, etc). I'm pretty sure Kane & Bearer setting up the parents' caskets on the stage was the week before Unforgiven the next month, and Taker ended up getting chokeslammed through one of the caskets. For what it's worth, I remember so many of these details because the Taker-Kane feud basically sold me on WM XIV. I thought the Austin/HBK/Tyson stuff was cool, but as a Taker mark, I was counting down the days until WM for that match. It's funny now, because if this storyline started last October and was culminating at this year's WM, I'd absolutely hate it. Edit: BTW, back to the original point: What caused Taker to accept Kane's challenge was being set on fire in a casket at the Rumble.

Yeah, the crippled sister was just begging to catch a bullet, but whatever, I'm sure that's the last of her. The only point they needed to get out was that Rene is struggling to deal with Marika's unnecessary death, anyway. I have to say, I'm actually unsure about whether to trust Tony or not. I mean, there's obviously another terrorist threat coming (we need to finish the season afterall), but I get the feeling he's not fully "out" yet, and I don't see him turning himself in at the end of the day. I should point out that I didn't see next week's preview, so yeah. I didn't know next week was 2 hours, so yay. Edit: Oh, and I can't be the only one, but I was thrilled that they had Chloe able to recover the file that was erased by Billy Walsh and his girl. Yeah the explanation kind of sucked ("Don't ask me how, but...") but I really didn't want to continue the season with more "Oh no! There's still a mole in the FBI!"

Yes. I miss the Conman.

That would probably be the best thing to do for a Rourke match, but I'd prefer to see Austin, personally.

I could actually see anyone winning that. If Punk wins, that just means Miz & Morrison likely get a tag match at WM. If Miz wins, I could then see them having Punk vs. Morrison for the IC Title, but if Morrison wins, then he's probably a good bet to actually win MITB. I'd predict Miz to win, based on the above scenarios, giving us Punk vs. Morrison for the IC Title. If that happens, I just hope they actually give them more time than their previous PPV matches.

How does Kozlov fit into the Taker WM stuff? The spoilers for last week implied that Kozlov wanted to face the winner of HBK/JBL to get an opportunity to face Taker at WM . I didn't see Smackdown last week, so did they actually mention anything about Kozlov/Taker?

Heath was in last year's package.

And the internet explodes as Necro Butcher gets a mention during the Oscars.

I'd assume that everyone was planning on using the Nominations announcement thread or prediction thread for Oscars.

Not to mention the fully functional Dharma van with working radio.

Well, that just makes much more sense, then.

I'll take any info on Walt at all just to get some resolution. I don't know if you ever saw the Missing Pieces webisode, but they had one where the Others were keeping Walt in a small building, and someone (possibly Juliette) was bringing Ben to see him, but they ended up being horrified because there were a bunch of dead birds outside the door, just like the first time we saw Walt use his "powers" at home in a flashback. So yeah, the Others fear Walt's ability to trick birds into flying into walls? Edit: And I was beaten to it.

Jin Workman it is.
