and that is just one of the many reasons I love watching the Hilstrandt brothers -- nm - peglegpete May 25, 18:02 1
- Hilarious. -- nm - lileve May 25, 18:12

  - I don't begrudge anyone their enjoyment. I'm glad it worked for most of you. - TWuG May 25, 18:28
  - and you shouldn't be - dogbert May 25, 18:24
- Ironically (spoil) - Dignan May 25, 18:03 1

Our new babysitter is pretty MILFy. I'm not sure how I feel about that. nm - ralph wiggum May 25, 17:47 19

  - Hmmmm. More like Christine Taylor. nm - ralph wiggum May 25, 17:54 12

        "It's for your security pass. Now smile and lick your lips." -- nm - Reagen May 25, 18:16 2
        
        "I'm getting an awful glare from your shirt. Could you undo the top two buttons? That will help." -- nm - Inigo May 25, 18:19
        
        "I know it seems weird, but our security system uses boob recognition software." nm - ralph wiggum May 25, 18:18
        
        ask the ST straight boys how they take pictures of interns. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 18:06 1
        
        True. Wiggie get some pointers from Max. -- nm - Inigo May 25, 18:08
        
        thats what nannycams are for...just post the url and times -- nm - zdroid May 25, 18:00
        
        That's why you ask for lingerie shots during the interview process. Duh. -- nm - Inigo May 25, 17:59
        
        Please. She knows the deal. You think you're the first couple she's babysat? -- nm - David May 25, 17:59
      - that rule doesn't apply to straight girls. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 17:58
- better than jailbait -- nm - zdroid May 25, 17:50

- hello, my imaginary friend. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 17:31 3
  - Crazy redhead! -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 25, 17:36 2
    - I need a better imagination. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 17:40 1
      - An better friends :) - eag May 25, 18:02
twug jr: dad could you wait up for a second, I need to tie my shoe.... twug: you had plenty of time to get ready, I can't be expected to wait around - dogbert May 25, 17:27 3
- The afterlife is a whole nother ball o wax. I would move heaven and Earth for my child - TWuG May 25, 17:44 2
  - disclaimer!!!!!!!! I did not in any way mean to say or imply that twug would actually abandon his child because his shoe was untied. please don't take - dogbert May 25, 17:57 1
    - It's fine. Apology accepted. I guess I'm starting to fall intoi the "joke about me, but not my family" camp as I get older. - TWuG May 25, 18:10
That college humor Lost video from B2 is pretty great. -- nm - Inigo May 25, 17:24 53
- This is probably the biggest unanswered question. -- (link) - the wrong element, bad guy May 25, 17:34 [youtube]
- Was Mr. Eko one of the candidates? That is a *great* point. -- nm - David May 25, 17:33 13
  - no mystery. he just wanted way too much money to appear in the final episode -- nm - wheezy May 25, 18:18 2
    - they could have used a cardboard cutout or something. geez. -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 18:40
    - Beaker already said that and it's not the point of the question. - David May 25, 18:19
  - Wasn't everyone? -- nm - nubby May 25, 17:43
  - spoils? - Beaker May 25, 17:42 2
    - I realize this but is he on the wall or the lighthouse thing? -- nm - David May 25, 17:43 1
      - Lostpedia thinks he wasn't. I guess somebody was paying attention that day. -- nm - David May 25, 17:46
  - According to waht Loosi posted from the alleged Bad Robot writer he might have been. -- nm - the liioulu with the same stuff as earlier May 25, 17:41 2
    - actually Remlik posted in on a BB. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 17:43 1
      - Ahh, and you posted it on Facebook. That's why I've mixed it up. -- nm - the liioulu with the same stuff as earlier May 25, 17:48
  - Not if he was killable by Smokey. nm - Dignan May 25, 17:37 1
    - I mean, they're trapped either way since he wasn't killed the first time but was the second but that would be glaring. -- nm - David May 25, 17:42
  - I had to take a break in the middle of this to process a bit. -- nm - David May 25, 17:36
- All that matters is that we enjoyed being fucked around for six years. nm - Dignan May 25, 17:26 36
  - Once they made what was supposed to be a one off character (Ben) one of the main players, I new there was no far reaching plan. - Inigo May 25, 17:33 4
    - who cares? he was worth changing the plot. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 17:41
    - thankfully as he was the best of the best on the show. -- nm - Beaker May 25, 17:37
    - I assumed that (spoil?) - Dignan May 25, 17:36
    - Errr, they knew they could do whatever... -- nm - Inigo May 25, 17:34
  - if you didn't enjoy the journey, why would you have stuck with it? -- nm - loosilu May 25, 17:30 29
    - typical codependents in an abusive relationship -- nm - zdroid May 25, 17:47 14
      - laughing. This is surprisingly accurate for dignan, I think. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 17:48 13
        
        so when did leaving dozens of storylines dangle and deadends become acceptable? before sopranos certainly -- nm - zdroid May 25, 17:54 12
        
        When the characters became lovable enough to negate the plot. nm - Dignan May 25, 17:56 11
        
        You and I are on the same page here. The ending isn't supported by quite a bit of what they introduced - TWuG May 25, 18:00 2
        
        Kim and I were just talking about this. - David May 25, 18:24 1
        
        I think a zen approach is needed for the ending to work. It's probably the most appropriate approach - TWuG May 25, 18:33
        
        I don't usually say this, but you are so wrong. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 17:57 7
        
        Nonsense. "Don't fuck your audience" should be the golden rule of television writing. - Dignan May 25, 18:00 5
        
        I enjoyed trying to figure out what was important and what wasn't. - loosilu May 25, 18:07 4
        
        Stop saying "spoon fed." - Dignan May 25, 18:17 1
        
        I wouldn't say arbitrary. sometimes a dead end was a clear dead end. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 18:31
        
        On what basis were you able to figure that out? -- nm - mara May 25, 18:16 1
        
        hit and miss. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 18:30
        
        I say it a lot. (nm) - David May 25, 17:58
    - I was working on the (reasonable) assumption that I wasn't being fucked with. nm - Dignan May 25, 17:34 12
      - I wonder if the writers considered the idea that they could make the ending about love and heaven *and* still tie up loose ends. -- nm - Inigo May 25, 17:44 1
        
        You're an idiot to expect this much from a TV show. I mean, come on. nm - Dignan May 25, 17:48
      - It's a TV show. Why would that be a reasonable assumption? -- nm - Roger More May 25, 17:42 8
        
        "You're dumb for expecting it to be narratively consistent and logical" is an unacceptable criticism. nm - Dignan May 25, 17:46 6
        
        I thought it became clear after a couple of seasons that there were far too many twists, inconsistencies, and dead ends for them to ever be able - loosilu May 25, 17:47 5
        
        I think a room full of gifted writers could have answered 90% of those loose ends within the framework they were dealing with. nm - Dignan May 25, 17:49 4
        
        I truly don't mind the loose ends. It made things fun. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 17:53
        
        It would have been nice if they'd tried more. Ah well. -- nm - David May 25, 17:51
        
        so you are mad they didn't gift wrap everything with a bow? seriously? -- nm - Beaker May 25, 17:50 1
        
        Everything, no. A huge chunk of those glaring ommissions, *of course.* nm - Dignan May 25, 17:54
        
        cause no other show ever has done it before! none ever!!! -- nm - Beaker May 25, 17:43
      - You're so gullible. -- nm - mara May 25, 17:40
    - word -- nm - Beaker May 25, 17:34
  - Daaaaaamn straight. -- nm - Sting May 25, 17:27

Musubi, what you need is to find some cheese curds, and probably not make your own fries, instead find the most greasy ones in your area - Guigue May 25, 17:23 1
- mmm. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 17:30
