- Had my party Saturday night, no strippers were involved. - Strongbad May 24, 10:41
- How about this option - HdnAgnda May 24, 10:40 2
  - thats...not bad -- nm - zeitgeist May 24, 11:12
  - Until he can't walk freely from the establishment. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 10:41
- [deleted]
- So....he played it good...and not only now gets to be bad, but has you arranging the opportunity? This man is my idol. -- nm - Joey Tribbiani May 24, 10:37 3
  - i'm gonna subscribe to his newsletter -- nm - prayformojo May 24, 10:39
  - he's a genius. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:38 1
    - this angle is funny and all, but if you guys think i'm that manipulatable (is that a word?) then you don't know me at all -- nm - kare May 24, 10:39
- Jeff played that perfectly. WTG, Jeff! -- nm - Dano May 24, 10:36 2
  - Indeed. (nm) - musubi May 24, 10:38
  - lol. -- nm - kare May 24, 10:36
- laughing. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:36
I don't have time to BB, but tell me, ST, how was the Lost finale? did it live up to its legacy? (I stopped watching after season 2.5) -- nm - Hotkiss May 24, 10:34 11
- I loved it. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:40
- It was imperfect, but far better than it had any right to be, imo. I was surprisingly satisfied. (nm) - musubi May 24, 10:40 2
  - This is precisely how your wife described your honeymoon. nm - Dignan May 24, 10:41 1
    - This might be the nicest thing you've ever said to me. (nm) - musubi, surprisingly satisfying May 24, 10:45
- It was great. -- nm - MDH May 24, 10:38
- A good satisfying finale. I was afraid it would be too vague, but in the end, it was acceptable and good. -- nm - Buzz May 24, 10:37
- I thought it was the second best finale ever. Right behind Six Feet. -- nm - Jovian May 24, 10:36 1
  - I'd call them 1 and 1A. In whichever order. -- nm - Jim May 24, 10:37
- I thought it was pretty great. Different from what I expected, but in a good way. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 24, 10:36
- Though some are whining...it was fantastic. -- nm - Jim May 24, 10:35
- it was very Lost -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 10:35
Giving this its own thread: Kim and I were debating which character is a better human being between Hurley and Desmond. What say you and why? -- nm - David May 24, 10:32 12
- Hurley -- nm - Krusty May 24, 10:37
- Hugo -- nm - Jovian May 24, 10:35
- Desmond and Penny were hands down the best couple in the show - sideways pixie May 24, 10:35
- Hugo ... and that's actually why (spoil) - loosilu May 24, 10:35
- Hurley. (nm) - musubi May 24, 10:35
- Hugo. -- nm - Jim May 24, 10:34
- Hugo, easy peasy lemon sqeezy -- nm - budice May 24, 10:34
- Hugo. He is so innocent and caring. Desmond has a mean streak. -- nm - devil's advocate May 24, 10:33 3
  - makes him more human -- nm - Remlik on the 'droid May 24, 10:35 2
    - true but not a better human. -- nm - devil's advocate May 24, 10:36
    - desmond that@is. hurley was one note -- nm - Remlik on the 'droid May 24, 10:36
- Hurley. Desmond does good for love, Hurley does good becuase it's right. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 10:33
LOVED it. (spoils) - Jim May 24, 10:31 13
- Spoilers - David May 24, 10:40
- I can agree with your point about Sun and Jin, but I think the subject of your children would at least come up. -- nm - Inigo May 24, 10:37 4
  - Very true...BUT, I've lived with my children. (spoils) - Jim May 24, 10:39 2
    - I think I might really be the evil,.child hating ST;er as I was guessing a different IM - JD May 24, 11:30
    - This is the crux. (spoils) - musubi May 24, 10:44
  - It's not like they had a couple days to mull it over. Who knows what thoughts come up over a couple panicked minutes. -- nm - Ender May 24, 10:39
- *spoils* - Ender May 24, 10:37 1
  - Word. -- nm - Jim May 24, 10:37
- Spoil me on the light. - Dr.Vermin May 24, 10:35 4

    - Thx... -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 24, 10:40
    - another question spoil - Gwaahjo May 24, 10:40 1
      - Spoilers - David May 24, 10:42
After Lost Poll: Which actor/actress goes on to have the best career? or the biggest? -- nm - Inigo May 24, 10:26 41
- Sub Poll: Do you think Daniel Dae Kim Yunjin Kim could be stars? -- nm - Inigo May 24, 10:33 4
  - I said when Daniel Dae Kim was on Angel that he was the best actor on television. Nothing has changed. - David May 24, 10:35 1
    - he is a great utility player. right show and right role, who knows. -- nm - Remlik on the 'droid May 24, 10:37
  - as soon as hollywood starts making all those tentpoles with Asian leads, sure -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 10:34
  - Yunjin, yes. DDK, probably not. He was fantastic as, in Sawyer parlance, "Chewy". - musubi May 24, 10:34
- Depends on if Holloway lands the role of Roland Deschain in the Dark Tower series. - Jim May 24, 10:32 1
  - As much as I love Taylor Kitsch, I want to see him as Gambit. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 10:32
- As an aside, Jorge Garcia is the Leonard Nimoy of the cast as long as his weight doesn't lead to a premature death. -- nm - David May 24, 10:30 7
  - big bang theory -- nm - Remlik on the 'droid May 24, 10:31
  - In what way? - musubi May 24, 10:30 4
    - His was the character who is beloved by all. -- nm - David May 24, 10:31 3
      - Ah. Ok, I get that. I though you meant the actor's temperment or something. I wasn't getting that at all. (nm) - musubi May 24, 10:32
      - yeah, but he has nowhere the talent nimoy has -- nm - Remlik on the 'droid May 24, 10:32 1
        
        That actually winds up working better for him since he won't be a snob about moving past the role. -- nm - David May 24, 10:33
  - I think he could easily do comedies. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:30
- Elizabeth Mitchell. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 10:29 1
  - i think she's strictly TV - sideways pixie May 24, 10:30
- Best....Matthew Fox will likely continue to be the primary guy.....I think O'Quinn has the best quality but he'll never be a lead. - Will Hunting May 24, 10:28 2
  - I sincerely hope O'Quinn winds up being a Bond villain. -- nm - David May 24, 10:29 1
    - That'd be a great role for him. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 10:30
- Matthew Fox is obviously leading man material. hollywood will probably love Evangeline Lily the most of the women - sideways pixie May 24, 10:28 7
  - her in that dress was something something -- nm - Reagen May 24, 10:30
  - all I know she looked scorching hot in that black dress. -- nm - Jovian May 24, 10:30 4
    - This was a good week for solid white and solid black dresses. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 10:32
    - Yup. They had been....not generous to her for most of the last season, but that dress was....wow. (nm) - musubi May 24, 10:31
    - Yes she did. -- nm - David May 24, 10:30 1
      - Links people...Links. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 10:31
  - Lilly has been saying she wants to quit. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:28
- naveen. if he gets cast as khan in trek two. - Remlik on the 'droid May 24, 10:27 1
  - wait wait wait - Jovian May 24, 10:29
- I think TOQ has a lot of roles left in him. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:27
- Not because he's the best, but Matthew Fox. - musubi May 24, 10:27 9
  - Sub Poll: do you think he would make a good Jack Ryan? - Dr.Vermin May 24, 10:28 8
    - I like this. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:31
    - he would be perfect -- nm - Remlik on the 'droid May 24, 10:31
    - Kim recently pointed out he'd make a great Superman, and she's exactly right. -- nm - David May 24, 10:28 5
      - to old -- nm - Remlik on the 'droid May 24, 10:30 3
        
        If Russell Crowe can play Robin Hood... -- nm - David May 24, 10:33 2
        
        my point. crowe was to old for hood prequel -- nm - Remlik on the 'droid May 24, 10:39 1
        
        given that he's approaching the average age of death for people of that time...I agree. - Mel Profit May 24, 10:40
      - He already annoys me as such. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 10:29

- It was a very enjoyable show but I'm not sure you'd get into it. -- nm - Krusty May 24, 10:32
- For at least the last season, I've been thinking there's no way I could go back and watch it again from the beginning. Now that I know what happens.. - Dr.Vermin May 24, 10:27
I wonder if Maggie Grace is enoying her movie career. (nm) - Will Hunting May 24, 10:24 5
- So, would you rather have her career (i.e. no career) or get stuck as the world's oldest teenage vampire? -- nm - David May 24, 10:25 4
  - A year and a half removed from a movie that made close to $150M is no career? - the wrong element, bad guy May 24, 10:48
  - James Marsters abdicated the throne? - Will Hunting May 24, 10:27 2
    - Boone is the Twilight wannabe on Vampire Diaries. -- nm - David May 24, 10:27 1
      - Oh, that's where I saw him tooling around. - Will Hunting May 24, 10:29

- Many thanks. - Will Hunting May 24, 10:23 2
  - ring the hotel and ask if they have a coin op washer and dryer. likely they do. you need far less clothes if so. - workmanda May 24, 10:30 1
    - Yeah, the breakfast thing is there...I intend on hording what I can. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 10:33
- did you learn #1 the hard way? -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 10:22

Charlie's really moved me. - Dr.Vermin May 24, 10:15 3
- Word. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 10:28
- which? - loosilu May 24, 10:16 1
  - The latter. Backstage. - Dr.Vermin May 24, 10:17
Ben and Locke really had the suckiest flashbacks. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:14 5
- oops, I forgot that Charlie's sucked too. all the early ones were bad. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:15 4
  - All of them? Are you kidding? -- nm - Don Homer May 24, 10:16 3
    - what early awakening was not bad? -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:18 2
      - Are you talking specifically about the finale (which I haven't seen) or throughout the course of the show? - Don Homer May 24, 10:19 1
        
        not the finale. the character awakenings in preceding eps. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:20
Wait, how can the board roll if nobody made a post that made it roll? -- nm - mara May 24, 10:13 6
- It rolls itself and then gives you the message "say something to get the conversation going" (some message like that). -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 10:16 3
  - But it doesn't always. I've refreshed B1 when it had, say, 153 posts and didn't go to a newly created but empty board. I think. -- nm - mara May 24, 10:18 2
    - there are some quirks in the roll procedure. Currently I'm leaving it alone ... kind of reminds me of the old TT. :) -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 10:34
    - yeah, it goes to an empty new board with the words start a conversation. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 10:19
- You've just noticed that happens? -- nm - Don Homer May 24, 10:15 1
  - I think I noticed without realizing that's what it meant. -- nm - mara May 24, 10:17
