• I liked the episode- It proved I was right! Jacob isn't "the good guy" at all. - This week's Doctor Who was so-so. I liked it, but I'm not liking the boyfriend character at all. He's distracting and just reeks of being Mickey II.

• Thanks for the source.

• Thanks to "Jimmy Kimmel Live" for making that faux-mercial. :)

• Criticize lost and wet urself over dr. Who? Thanks topless robot posters, I've had my feel of silly today

• You people are stupid heads

• Brilliant. I expected bad actors to be in this or something but the real Jacob and Esau? Priceless!

• last night's episode sucked something FIERCE! i'm worried this show is gonna have an X-Files like climax. meaning a limp, weak one.

• I thought last night's show was pretty interesting, assuming all of the information necessitated a whole hour. It's a bit irritating seeing "answer episodes" like this and the Ricardo one popping up in the middle of the final momentum with so few episodes left. It's like the final few minutes of the big game, and the Quarterback takes a sideline break to dick around on his gameboy. At least the finale is 2 hours and can't spend the entire time teasing...or can it? Also, when locke first broke out the black vs white game with Walt in season 1, I thought they were implying that he was a racist bastard.

• Still, I find it necessary to reiterate that I find this commercial awesome. I particularly like the part where Smokey connects four million and goes "Ha ha ha!" in an overjoyed/snarky way.

• She was woefully miscast. Allison Janney cannot play roles outside of contemporary society. She can hold press conferences and lecture us about the role of women in the modern-day world (and do it well) however at no point in that episode did I find her believable as an ancient and mysterious figure.

• But...last nights episode was GOOD.

• As would Michael Emerson. I actually really liked last night's episode. It was beautiful, moving and although I wish they could have given MIB a name, I found it satisfying. They made me feel sorry for MIB just when I was hoping he'd die a nasty death after "The Candidate" (which still ranks among the best episodes IMHO). Turns out he's worse than dead :'(. Critics who suggest it might have been better for Locke!MIB to explain it or to only show a few flashbacks do have a point but overall, I feel the episode did its job very well and accomplished its objectives of emotionally moving me and making me care about the characters of Jacob and MIB, revealing the purpose of the Island and answering questions.

• i'm glad i never got into that show. nothing in fiction is more irritating than a story that doesn't bother to make sense, especially an ongoing serial where the hopeless anticipation is prolonged. they did that with Heroes; as much as i geek over superpower shows and obstinately stick with them til the end, i had to call it quits. they did it with BSg; i couldn't bring myself to watch the last holy episode, at how aimless and miserable and nonsensical it became. they started to do it with Journeyman before they cut it short... i hope this doesn't become a trend in geeky serials, throwing paint on a canvas in the hopes that it makes a picture. it's one thing to psuedo-intellectualize a show with allegories and symbolism, to bolster the stories with hidden possibilities and intriguing details, but to continually string plot non sequiturs along for intrigue alone, in the hope that it'll be wrapped up in a few, climatic episodes is outrageous. it's the high tech of a tv wasted on watching clouds and imagining shapes.

• That's my gripe with seasons 2, 3, and 6: roughly 120 minutes of really compelling story stretched over way too long. Only @150 minutes left now (42 next week, 108 for the finale) to redeem this season/show or sink it.

• Terry O'Quinn would like a word.

• Man, if she was the best, then the rest were puppets being handled by children

• That was genuinely funny. However, it doesn't make up for last night being 10 minutes of plot stretched over an hour of agonizingly boring filler (seriously, Fake Locke couldn't have delivered the highlights of that episode in fairy tale format? It would've taken five fucking minutes and been more fascinating for it).

• I thought it was going to be some spliced in clips from the show, but that was WAY better! Awesome :)

• Well, yeah, but I normally don't expect even that much from Lost's actors.

• That faux-commercial was infinitely better than the crud they fed us last night. The longer the season goes the more disappointed I feel I will be once it ends. When Jacob and MIB showed up at the end of season five, I was real stoked about the direction the show was going...opps, I was wrong.

• I don't know; her death scene was pretty comical.

• Actually that answered more questions then the episode did! It's all just a game

• (spoilers, kinda) Gotta admit, it was fun to see Allison Janney show up and instantly be the best actor on the show. Although that just made me bitter that it's been so long since West Wing ended.

• That game would be difficult to store.
