Just as Locke is named by the writers/producers after philosopher John Locke, Danielle Rousseau is named after philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau. - TVtome. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/...s_rousseau.html Lots of these could be made relevant. And that first Locke quote blew my mind.

Or maybe THEY had a psychic who said that a child born of the island would lead them back into civilization. MAYBE, it's the same psychic who Claire talked to and that was just an ASTRAL PROJECTION she was talking to in Australia!

Brian, this past episode was basically a culmulation of the past 10 episodes. It wasn't a cop out, they've been playing up the supernatural aspects of the Island since day one. Claire is a pregnant girl, she is not his (Charlies) wife, but they have bonded on the island - he's the only one who is not afraid to be around her and that makes her feel comfortable, and she's the only chick who will give him the time of day.

Yeah, but there has to be a point -say 20 years down the road- where the guy says "ok, they've had enough".

$29.99 Another olympian has been added to the card. Makoto TakimotoWN3D!

If the psychic knew the plane would crash, would he be able to tip off the rescue teams?

My "WHAT?!" was for the metal and them cutting it off. I mean, c'mon, they should have revealed it and then close it off... cocksuckers. Jack getting his wish, I just wonder what he gave the Island (perhaps that BEATINS! Ethan is like.. FROM THE MATRIX!~)

WHAT?!

His ribs have to be broken after Jack hitting them 20 times.

He's going to live... NOW! NOW! NOW!!!!!!!

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it was a rib on Sawyer. They aren't killing off CHARLIE?!!

"You owe me $20,000!" "You'll get it" Walts "luck" is very interesting. Boone is SO getting points. HOW DID HE KNOW THAT?! ETHAN! Jack just got... DOCTOWNED!

"Faking your name is stupid" SAWYER!! "Sayids back?" "Red shirt" STAR TREK! OH MAN! "Regional Collections Supervisor for a Box company" The tracking skills of Kate! Awesome! This is bringing everything together! Holy crap, this is getting good.

So far, this episode fucking owns. "For everything I know, he knows more" ETHAN! "Back home, I'm known as something of a warrior myself" The thing with Jack and his dad, though very simplistic, was great.

Well fucking duh. Any other wrestler didn't have Edge dropped on his head, there would be no reason for that wrestler to intentially "get back" at Benoit.

HA! CANADIAN DUDE! FUCK ONTARIO CALIFORNIA!

If you watched you could clearly see HHH scooting over for the suplex so the conspiracy theory is out the window. The _suplex_ was intentional, the suplex _landing on his head_ wasn't. It was a botch.

He trained at the American Kickboxing Academy. Now, I don't want to point out the obvious here...

Actually, he probably didn't know he was getting into. When he enlisted the US wasn't in a combat situation and certainly not in a combat situation with Iraq (if we are to assume he signed up in a post-9/11 impulse (which wasn't stated, but is a possibility) that is _still_ different than going into Iraq). And if it wasn't, sure there is always the possibility of going into war at any moment, but then that is weighed against the probability of going to war. A lot of his decision to flee up north was family-based, so Canada probably looked more attractive than France, or jail for that matter. Can't blame em. Of course, I wouldn't be in that position in the first place, so I can certainly see that side of the argument of lying in the bed you made. I just don't think the use of the word "coward" is appropriate here. If it were maybe 3 months, then I'd probably be with ya on this. A year, with the probable treatment you'd be getting? No thanks. Canada's military history is something that we look at as "hey, that's cool", but we certainly don't look at it like the US does and it isn't engrained into our culture like it is in the states. Winning the Gold in the Olympics in Hockey probably instills more nationalistic pride than our war efforts... Actually, my Grandfather was in the Air Force, now that I think of it.

Fuck the Christmas Story.

Perhaps I just don't get the mentality behind this. Canada doesn't generally have war films, it's not really in our culture. I don't have any family in the military. I respect and appreciate what it takes to be in the armed services, so much so that I know I'd suck so much ass in it. So perhaps I can identify more with someone who doesn't feel right in it, than someone who is readily willing to pick up a gun and kill. I get why they must be imprisoned for deserting, but I don't get why it's such a disgrace to say "I don't want to do this". All these people are doing is becoming a regular citizen again. They never hurt anyone, they didn't turn on their country by affiliating with the enemy, they just didn't want to do something which takes a shitload of balls. That doesn't make them gutless or cowards, it just makes them normal. A cowardly thing to do would be if you're being invaded by another country and you're running away to another country - there really isn't a "choice" in that matter, it's something you have to do. But when you're part of the invaders, then it becomes a choice.

This is going to be ugly.

Of course. Jeez. Was there ever any doubt? This vs. The Muppets Family Christmas Special, now THAT'S a discussion.

Well that's what it will do, sinner
