god said let there be light and, well where the hell did it come from and how the hell did god see what he was doing without it before -- nm - zeitgeist May 25, 21:49
All I know is that it runs on banana peels and that's alright with me! -- nm - Qale May 25, 21:49
You are taking it to literal. For example, in Heroes, they say Hiro can move through time and space - FabioParme May 25, 21:34 13
- ok, the island CAN move through space and time. that explains it, right? -- nm - dogbert May 25, 21:43 3
  - That would fit well. But that doesn't explain why Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sayid travelled through time, while - FabioParme May 25, 21:45 2
    - that's simple: sun, lapidus and ben were all left handed. everyone knows left handed people can't time travel - dogbert May 25, 21:51 1
      - That was good!!! - FabioParme May 25, 21:56
- Heroes is the standard of good explanations to you? I suppose we just have to agree to (utterly and completely) disagree. (nm) - musubi May 25, 21:37 8
  - No. Heroes is a piece of garbage. I was just using an example to illustrate a time travel explanation - FabioParme May 25, 21:39 7
    - So you did want a scientific answer for time travel beyond "just cause"? So you'd be happier with if a flux capacitor showed up? - musubi May 25, 21:42 3
      - I just wanted to know why some travelled through time and other didn't - FabioParme May 25, 21:46 2
        
        My point is this: If they said "Jacob made it so", does that change anything of substance? - musubi May 25, 21:48 1
        
        If at any point in the series Jacob said he did that for a reason, I would dig it - FabioParme May 25, 21:51
    - And trust me when I say, despite its flawless ending, I still love Lost - FabioParme May 25, 21:41 2
      - Not flawless. I meant imperfect -- nm - FabioParme May 25, 21:42 1
        
        I don't deny it's flawed. The whole show was. We're in disagreement on what the nature of the flaw was. (nm) - musubi May 25, 21:45
I'm pretty sure it was explained by Huey Lewis. -- nm - JaxSean May 25, 21:20
Not to mention the Continuum Transfunctioner. nm - ralph wiggum May 25, 21:18 4
- Dude. (nm) - musubi May 25, 21:33
- All these are dwarfed by not knowing how the Three Seashells work -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 25, 21:19 2
  - I need to know what was in the Briefcase. nm - ralph wiggum May 25, 21:23 1
    - and Walt's wife? after the divorce?? - wheezy May 25, 21:26
