That just seems like a marketing hoax to sell the dvd's.

Yea me too, I won't even be disappointed if the island is a spaceship.

If it were just this one instance, I would agree with you and wait until after the finale, but there's many more such cases that can never be resolved satisfactory in what little time is left.

A) No, he and his people were building it - hence the need for Mother to kill them too. B) Across the Sea takes place at like... 23AD.. I think... plenty of time for Smokie to sucker some of Jacob's "other" pawns to finish it. And Jacob has apparently brought a LOT of people to the island. C) The Wheel might have been "unstuck" too, and bouncing through time as well. Or it might have been because of Locke's presence... other items timeshifted too. D) See C. Verdict - not really looking at the big picture. Also - note: When Smokie talked to Locke about turning the wheel (in the cave) he was in Christian's form at the time... who's corpse hadn't hit the island yet. So clearly more than just the castaways could shift through time. You know, I was once like you: defending the show and its writers, believing that there was a perfectly acceptable explanation for everything, even stuff that didn't seem to make any sense at the time. Now, with only 2 episodes left, I realize how incredibly naive that was of me.

- Exhibit A: before MIB dug the well, there was no wheel yet (as evidenced by the fact that he was building it himself) - Exhibit B: Mother made the well collapse before MIB was able to finish the wheel - Exhibit C: when Locke descended into the well, they flashed to a time before the well was even dug (as evidenced by there being no remains of a well whatsoever) - Exhibit D: even though the well wasn't dug yet, the wheel was already there (as evidenced by Locke being able to turn it) Verdict: sloppy writing! Even if you ignore the question as to who exactly finished the wheel, these facts just don't add up.

I've been trying to find a solution manual to my handbook Financial Statement Analysis all day, and this is the best thing I've found so far: http://www.pinggu.org/bbs/thread-643512-1-1.html But I've no idea how to get the file. Does anyone here speak whatever language that is?

Somewhere in the beginning of season 5, the people who got left behind flashed to sometime in the future (as evidenced by them finding an Ajira water bottle in an outrigger). When they took the outrigger to go to the Orchid, they were attacked by some people on another boat. Juliet was able to shoot one of them just before they flashed again.

Yes, that's part of the lame. Come on, it's not like one of those little things from back in the early seasons; they only introduced this last year. To me and many others it was one of the more intriguing little mysteries of season 5, because it really felt like this would have a significant impact to the story later on. Any time some characters took to the sea (and that's happened quite a lot this season) I thought "now it's gonna happen". I can't believe they'll just let it hang. To me, this is just another blatant example of how the writers have always only cared about wtf'ing the viewer by introducing mysteries, rather than actually tying a coherent plot around them.

Writers have confirmed that they won't be answering . How very lame.

Snooze, it's like BSG all over again.

I think it would've been better if they had both been blasted by the sonic pilons upon running towards each other in the previous episode. Dramatic reunion ftw.

I'm avoiding trailers - and just about any information other than the cast - for this flick.

sounds like it will be about .

No, there's two more before the finale, titled , and .

you forget Lapidus

About time the cast got purged. I'm betting Miles will be next to go; wouldn't surprise me if he was the one getting shot by Juliet back in season 5.

Really? Aww, I wouldn't go that far... Most Americans don't even know Belgium, actually. And those who do mostly think it's the capital of Brussels. The best thing about Belgium (at least Flanders) is that since no one else understands a word we're saying, we have a genetic affinity for picking up other languages. We're probably the only people on this planet who can speak French and not be smug about it. Oh, and we have politics more hilarious than reality tv.

omg it's a picture of Muhammed, run!

Although there have been some lacklustre episodes in recent seasons (this one has been pretty good though imo), South Park is mostly genius, and anyone who thinks otherwise should remove the sand from their vagina.

This wasn't a filler episode, it was a transitional episode, getting all characters in place for the endgame. I liked it.

Can't someone nuke these guys already? Oh wait that's right, their oil deposits have to be empty first. Seriously, I'm not a hater, but fundamentalists piss me off to no extent. Not just muslims; fundamentalist catholics can be just as annoying. Where have they all gotten this insane idea that they can bully the rest of the world? Fundamentalism is one of the greatest threats to the modern world, but somehow most people in this modern world still naively consider everyone to be equal and thus worthy of life. Cultural differences are excused by moral relativism. You could argue that as long as these people keep their irrationality to themselves, no harm done. But by letting these people reproduce you're not only allowing their irrationality to continue on to next generations, you're also solidifying it, for most of it is based in tradition, and for some spaced out reason they believe the longer something has lasted, the more authority it has. I say we go Jihad on their ass. Would solve the overpopulation problem as well, which is nice.

A mate and I once joked about having our own personal pan flute player following us everywhere we went, saying nothing but playing a wise tune whenever we said anything. Anyway, - Rubik's Cube solving skills (I can solve it in under 3 minutes, which is realy of no use whatsoever other than impressing nerds) + drumming skills (currently at about 0)
