Wow...sleep will not come easy for duey tonight...

I met him once a while back when we was filming an appearance on The Cosby Show. Very very nice man. It was pretty sad to see though how large we was at that time...need help getting out of his limo and was walking with a cane.

I'm going to continue to lean heavily on a theory I posted earlier. Certain people seem to know so much about what's going on and what's going to happen...i.e. the later Richard, Eloise, Ben, Windmore(?). My theory is that there is one big loop taking place (i.e. very much like Groundhog Day), where the same group of people are going around and around and around, with the island tweaking things in the hopes that something (who knows what) will finally happen. Some people maybe are allowed to remember while others aren't. Something I read the other day substantiates this theory even more. Once Lost is complete, Abrahms and Lindelof are going to make a movie of Stephen King's Dark Tower. A & L are big King fans...and King is a big Lost fan. Here's the kicker (and I'm sorry if I ruin the Dark Tower series for anyone...spoiler ahead)...at the end of the final installment of the Dark Tower series, Roland realizes that his whole life, the entire journey that he took to get to the Dark Tower, is a loop. He enters a room in the Tower and is sent back to where book one of the series began, seemingly to do it all over again. And as he realizes where he is and what is happening, he starts to forget and the whole thing starts all over again. Given that the final book in the series came out in 2004 (coincidentally the same year that Lost premiered), could A & L have taken a page from Mr. King's book in regards to the loop idea? And very much like the Dark Tower series, where Roland and the others frequently encountered characters/scenes/references to other King books, one can not ignore how the Lost characters frequently encountered characters/scenes/references to each other before getting on Flight 815. Lastly, sacrifice, as pointed out many times in this thread, has such a strong presence on this show. Again, so it does in the Dark Tower. I'm pretty jazzed about this theory...thoughts? P.S. Anyone remember who the author was of the book Juliette was discussing during the book club meeting...hmmm? P.P.S. And perhaps this whole thing has been going on for centuries given the age of the temple, the statue, etc. Eventually, people do die off and new "players" are brought in.

...

Good for him!

Well, that's that. Let's see if he's signed by tomorrow.

People like to B word.

Arizona has two picks left in the seventh...and they would make sense with selecting a QB.

I have to say...after the Colts drafted a QB in the 6th and the Bills passed on him in the 7th, I think he's not getting picked today. That would def open the door for the Bills to take him as an UDFA.

I was sure the Colts were going to take him in the 6th, but they went with another QB...dude out of Purdue.

I have to say...there have been very few episodes that I've disliked, but this was one of them. I got NOTHING out of that episode. Characters came and went seemingly just to make an appearance. And they even drove the Hurley - Miles thing into the ground. Blech.

I remember TM coming into the Ralph and managing to have one of his few good games to beat the Bills.

Uh oh...better watch out for Chef Jim...he's going to take you all to task and tell you that you're not really boxing.

No kidding. Hey...maybe Chef is just ticked because he can't get out of beginner mode.

Dude...I don't think myself or anyone else has lost sight of the fact that it's a game. And to be frank, playing GH is unfortunately the extent of my musical talent, so if I have a good time doing it what's it do ya?

Dude...dead on, but take it a bit further. What if the island brought Jack back to save little Ben, because by doing so may have kept him from going to the others? Great episode...yeah, the Miles/Hugo discussion was another classic scene. And I agree with your feelings on Ben/Locke...John is so friggin' gullible and able to be swayed.

I don't disagree...in fact, I haven't really liked anything they've done since the Black album. But it is absolutely awesome to play some of those classic older songs (i.e. Fade to Black, Orion).

I could live with that.

I'd make them come to school every day and have them be seen by their classmates fixing everything they trashed. Of course, any supplies needed or items to be replaced would be charged to the kids and/or their parents. When it was all fixed up nice and neat...then I'd suspend their asses and make them take the year over again.

I picked mine up yesterday too and it's friggin' awesome!!! I'm waiting for a Floyd GH!

A few more thoughts (sleeping on an episode always helps)... I can’t get past the idea that everything is circular. Ben uses Sayid as a killer after they get off the island because he knows that that’s all he is and always will be. Ben somehow does survive being shot…he has to the way thinks work. The permanence of the Oceanic folk in the history of the Dharma project is proven by that picture that Christian showed Sun last week. As such, what Sayid did to Ben must be as permanent, thus Ben must survive. Around and around we go. And in regards to Richard...I think he and Ben are caught in the same circular cycle…hence his knowing what was going to happen to John, etc. I think he and Ben aged to a point and then got caught in this circular routine where they’re both trying to get to something or make something happen. Remember how “clueless” Richard was when John first came to him and then when he sat down with Sawyer? Both he and Ben got on the island train at some time and have been riding ever since. The best line of the night was this… Sawyer says to Sayid, “How you doing?” To which Sayid replies, “I was just brought a chicken salad sandwich by a 12-year old Ben Linus…how do you think I’m doing?” I'm still LMAO over that one.

There is that possibility...or he knew it was coming and was wearing a vest (I still think Ben is on some kind of loop, so he know's exactly what he's doing and what's going to happen).

HOLY CRAP!!!! Well...that may change some things...

I think you hit it right on the head. I think he was a victim of reading his own press clippings and some bad advice. But to be honest, don't you think he choked a little? In what were really the two biggest games of his career, he did horrible in both. He definitely should not have declared...I thought that then and now he's paying the price for it.
