Did anyone watch the Q&A after Kimmell last night? -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 09:18 6
- I watched online. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 09:18 5
  - The Q&A was only available online I think. Anything interesting? -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 09:18 4
    - mostly stupid questions. Some fun moments. The alternate endings are fun. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 09:21 3
      - Wait, are you talking about the Kimmell show, or the Q&A wih the audience members that was after the show? - JaxSean May 24, 09:25 2
        
        I watched the Q&A on abc.com. I thought that was online only. Also saw the alternate endings there. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 09:27 1
        
        ah -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 09:36
Early #s suggest 13.5m watched the LOST finale. Wonder what the +7 day rating will be. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 24, 09:17

- Possibly. (spoils?) - sycor May 24, 09:07 1
  - agreed -- nm - tRuMaN May 24, 09:11
So, speculation on how 24 ends? (recent ep spoils) - HdnAgnda May 24, 09:00 15

        Her day that day iirc...... - Will Hunting May 24, 09:11 6
        
        but it did lead to one of the best TV lines EVER: spoils - Beaker May 24, 09:27
        
        Wow...and we thought we've had a run of bad luck! - kelly May 24, 09:16 3
        
        It was so gloriously over the top that you started to root for something else to happen. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 09:20 2
        
        ditto...I was hoping for aliens. -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 09:23
        
        Yeah, I was still watching it at that point. -- nm - kelly May 24, 09:23
        
        that sounds about right and I love every absurd, over the top, word of it. -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 09:14
- I never watched more than bits and pieces of the show, but were it me writing it - Reagen May 24, 09:03

Did Meg post the lasted Loser standings? -- nm - oblique May 24, 08:50 5
- Not yet. I'll put them up in a little bit. There are still people who haven't checked in this week, so the list will be modified later. -- nm - MojaveMeg May 24, 09:07
- From the partial numbers I've got (Meg's got the authoritative list), you're leading. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) May 24, 08:53 3
  - I am feeling good about this week - bottle of wine nonwithstanding - Epiphany May 24, 09:09 2
    - The bottle of wine may have something to do with you feeling good. -- nm - Fuzzy May 24, 09:20 1
      - true that -- nm - Epiphany May 24, 09:29
Lohan update: Judge orders Lohan must wear SCRAM bracelet, random testing, and regular meetings. Basically cannot leave LA. -- nm - budice May 24, 08:49 12
- [deleted] 3
  - True, but Lohan's lawyer was arguing to modify those, she had work outside the state. Bracelet is unwieldy, yadda yadda yadda. Judge just reinforced -- nm - budice May 24, 08:59 2

    - 'Running Man' collar. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 24, 09:00
- In full effect until July 6th, then theres a probation violation hearing for not attending classes sooner -- nm - budice May 24, 08:56
- I don't know why L.A. should be punished in this scenario. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 24, 08:52 1
  - *nice* -- nm - loosilu May 24, 09:17
- whaaa..? -- nm - Lindsay Lohan in Las Vegas May 24, 08:51

  - I know, she looks 35. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 09:17
  - the parent trap was on ABC fam this weekend. I felt so disheartened looking at little, pre-coke lindsay. -- nm - workmanda May 24, 09:15
- That's OK, the dealers can come to her. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 08:50
LYC. My wife and I started the LOST recap just before 9pm, watched it all and finished the finale around 11:45pm. Thank you, DVR. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 24, 08:48 7
- How long was the recap show? -- nm - Don Homer May 24, 08:49 6
  - 2 hrs -- nm - HdnAgnda May 24, 08:50 5
    - Jeez, that's a lot of commercials. -- nm - Don Homer May 24, 08:50 4
      - Yep. I think the extra half hour turned out to be padding for commercials. There really were a lot of breaks. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) May 24, 08:57 3
        
        Thank god for Tivo. Although it should be noted the Target commercials were *brilliant*. (nm) - musubi May 24, 08:58
        
        pretty much accounted for most, if not all... - znufrii May 24, 08:58 1
        
        I doubt it. They said even with the 2.5 hours they still had to cut 20 minutes that will be on the DVD. - Ender May 24, 09:03
Yay, my new skinny jeans are 'out for delivery.' - MojaveMeg May 24, 08:47 4
- I have maybe 1 pair of shorts that fit me now - oblique May 24, 08:48 3

So something big about Lost last night bugged me, but not enough to ruin it all. (spoilers) - Mop (222 lbs) May 24, 08:46 9

  - Don't like it. I'm choosing the other timeline. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) May 24, 08:48 5
    - It wasn't (spoilers) - musubi May 24, 08:56 4
      - Nah (spoilers) - Mop (222 lbs) May 24, 08:59 3
        
        I'm pretty sure I'd have hated that. (nm) - musubi May 24, 09:01
        
        Not only that, but if you consider the awful awful things most of them did (spoilers) - oblique May 24, 09:00 1
        
        Well, there was a definite theme of (spoils) - musubi May 24, 09:07
I think today will be more fun by destroying Jax's idea about what happened in LOST leaving him hating it as much as me :) -- nm - oblique May 24, 08:45
My friend's observations from Lost (spoil) - sycor May 24, 08:45 40
- I have no problem with the final credits (spoilers) - oblique May 24, 08:46 39
  - He seems hung up on the (spoils) - sycor May 24, 08:52 27
    - Spoils - TWuG May 24, 08:59 26
      - The producers said... - Remlik May 24, 09:10
      - So essentially (spoils) - Jovian May 24, 09:04 1
        
        me either. Shoe or no shoe. -- nm - sycor May 24, 09:06
      - Wait, I have it. Jack is - JaxSean May 24, 09:03
      - So you think (spoils) - sycor May 24, 09:02 16
        
        not to get all Zapruder film on this but... - Mel Profit May 24, 09:05 14
        
        I'm mulling over a bit what kilbo said about - JaxSean May 24, 09:09 3
        
        That in and of itself shoudl be enough - Will Hunting May 24, 09:13 2
        
        and as Kim said - the hair! -- nm - Reagen May 24, 09:14 1
        
        spoils - Callisto May 24, 09:22
        
        I thought it did, but either way, I don't think it makes a difference. (nm) - musubi May 24, 09:08 8
        
        Yes. - Reagen May 24, 09:10
        
        I tend to agree with your IM. - Mel Profit May 24, 09:10 6
        
        To your IM: This is why I dislike it, because that is my read on what happened. (spoils) - TWuG May 24, 09:17 5
        
        in a sense, yes (spoils) - znufrii May 24, 09:21 3
        
        It's not that it doesn't resonate, it's that is so bleeding obvious. They spent 6 years being clever, playing with ideas about good and bad - TWuG May 24, 09:27 2
        
        At the end of the day, if you expected some large treatise on the conflict of G vs E, well, the finale wasn't it. - musubi May 24, 09:31 1
        
        yes. - znufrii May 24, 09:32
        
        I can understand your objection. It did work for me mostly. -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 09:19
        
        I have no idea. -- nm - sycor May 24, 09:07
        
        He could have just imagined it (spoilers) - oblique May 24, 09:04
      - but again we have to come back to the producers explictly saying that's not the case. - Reagen May 24, 09:01 4
        
        They also said (spoils) - TWuG May 24, 09:10 1
        
        re: your first thing - Reagen May 24, 09:14
        
        yup. - znufrii May 24, 09:03
        
        I can even believe the producers lying about it, *but* your IM firmly establishes for me that it's not. (nm) - musubi May 24, 09:03
  - it's your second to last sentence. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 08:47 10
    - yep. And this is why I kinda (spoils) - Jovian May 24, 08:53 9
      - Wait, why (spoils) - musubi May 24, 08:58
      - it never occured to me that people would take it that way until I got here - Reagen May 24, 08:58 6
        
        Thing is (spoilers) - musubi May 24, 09:00 4
        
        I likened it to an empty set shot that many shows do at the end of a series -- nm - oblique May 24, 09:01 3
        
        That's my point. Why would one use that (spoils) - musubi May 24, 09:04 1
        
        Becuase they *want* to from a show that offered them a plain ending. - Will Hunting May 24, 09:07
        
        ding -- nm - Jovian May 24, 09:02
        
        yep. -- nm - Callisto May 24, 08:59
      - it definitely felt weird. I was expecting something because of it. -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 08:57
This one's for ML, who established the precedent: Mittany Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, found dead. -- (link) - Mop (222 lbs) May 24, 08:44
