you just have to take the spaces out after the brackets. also, I would love to do bar tonight but I think I\'d rather see lost. maybe I\'ll just try for anna lifeys tomorrow.

My whole problem with them wanting to detonate the bomb and blow up the hatch is that it seems like an exercise in futility.  If "whatever happened happened" then regardless of what happens to the hatch in 1977, won\'t someone just come along and rebuild it in the future?  How do they know that detonating the bomb wasn\'t what originally happened anyway?  

Great episode though.

i have a feeling that eloise didn\'t send daniel back just to die. i think she\'s hoping he can change the past, so that she doesn\'t end up killing him. in fact, i\'ve been thinking that if they\'re in a time loop, its not static. that they\'re trying and making small changes each time they go through, with the eventual goal to completely change things. like how dharma is supposedly trying to find a way to change the numbers. maybe if the losties can change their loop, maybe one or some of the numbers finally change....

lol, god was that awful!! i actually said that we should change \'jumping the shark\' to \'submerging the sub\'!

michael emerson RULES!!!

no spoilers, just him being creepy as hell, reading little boy blue...

very vague info about next week, but spoilerized just in case:

What happens is such a game-changer that you\'ll wonder how they can continue the same show afterwards.

i\'m not a fan of spoilers, and this didn\'t bother me at all, for those who are debating reading it.

finally saw last week\'s episode. good stuff. i really enjoy the locke/alpert/ben conversations, especially the locke/ben dialogue. pretty cool that alpert told locke about dying in the future. that was neat. i was hoping for a lot more about alpert. does jacob even really exist? could jacob be alpert? he seems pretty supernatural himself. the expression on juliet\'s face when kate got into the sub had me laughing. really looking forward to some ajira stuff tonight. tonights gotta be a game-changer episode. that generally means it\'s a total mind ****.

michael emerson on the finale:

We have two kinds of huge shocks at the end of this one. Each one alone would be enough to keep an audience eating its own soul for the whole hiatus, but with two, I don\'t know what you can do with that.

gonna be a long 8 months, though, that\'s for sure.

exactly what i was thinking. they seem to be putting a lot of stock in faraday\'s theories. i\'m still not sold on the "whatever happened, happened" theory, though.
