@tawm: I just posted that exact comment on her most recent video and she blocked me. Wow. I could understand blocking spammers but blocking anyone who says something negative?
This actually could have been kind of interesting if it wasn't so lazy. She's literally just standing in one place, dancing and lip-syncing for almost the entire song. I sometimes enjoy Meekakitty videos but this is shallow and cynical nerdbaiting.
@Smeagol92055: What? Really? I can't think of a single main character in a Star Wars film who could be described as an "unpopular outcast." The heroes of Star Wars are without exception charming, charismatic, attractive, and athletic.
@fishbonez: Yeah, it's perfect for iOS, which is a nice coincidence since I think it predates the iPhone.
I was reading this, but during the long hiatus I forgot about it. Glad to hear it's back.
@Palmer: Sam and Fuzzy is quite possibly the best comic on the Internet. And yet it isn't widely known. The first ever print volume is available from topatoco now, so yay for that.
@meehawl: Calling Scott Pilgrim a Michael Cera movie is like calling Star Wars a Harrison Ford movie. It's TECHNICALLY true, yeah, but it's not a very meaningful or helpful descriptor.
@Fodder650: I agree with this, but I prefer to think how lucky we are that it lasted as long as it did. Back when the show first premiered, I was thinking about how surprised I'd be if they even aired the entire first season, but we got two seasons out of it. Not bad.
You say:
"Lost bait-and-switched us around a bit, imparting such a stentorian importance to the little things and then telling us that they didn't matter."
I'm not sure that's really true. It seems to me that fans seized on the "little things" of their own accord, and then this culture sort of grew around it and spun far beyond what the writers could handle. It wasn't really their fault.
Or maybe I'm wrong. But that certainly seems to be THEIR version of events.

I don't get it. But I'm intrigued!
@TomSkylark: Presumably he needed the candidates to have the "Island Experience" so they'd have some understanding of what it was they're getting into. Just saying "This island is magic. Wanna be in charge?" is perhaps not enough to convey the gravity of the situation.
@exwizard: When Juliet killed an Other in season three, the rest of the Others were shocked. Others are not permitted to kill Others. The only reason Juliet got off the hook is because Ben says "the rules don't apply to her," presumably because she's not a full member of the Others.
@jammyhole001: Hanso was mentioned like once or twice in the show. And there was never any indication (in the show) that he was anything other than an eccentric billionaire.
@That-One-Person: technically, officially, you're right. But Damon and Carlton say that they like to think of the last three episodes (ie, What They Died For, The End part one, and The End part two) as the finale.
How about this:
Instead of coming up with lists of important questions and then cynically padding it out with questions that are obviously unimportant or already adequately addressed, just to get to the magic number of 50, we have a more serious discussion about the prioritization of mythology and drama and the extent of Darlton's responsibility to explain everything that happens on the show.
Anybody? No? Didn't think so.

@Mark 2000: Okay, that came out a little wrong (and garbled, grammatically). My bad.
I actually am rather impressed with the work that went into it, but what I meant was that I can't say I would watch a couple hours of the same.
Although I suppose that has a lot to do with the voices and sound. I never really liked the job Telltale did anyway.

@sdotbailey2: Ahem. Let me restate that more clearly if you weren't paying attention. I'll put all of the important words in all caps, just for you.
1) I LIKE watching LOST.
2) Doing things I LIKE is a GOOD use of my TIME.
Whether I SHOULD like Lost is not an issue. You clearly think I should not. But the fact of the matter is that I do. So zero time has been wasted.
And if I dislike the finale, then I guess I'll have wasted... well, two and a half hours. Because no matter how bad it is, it won't suddenly, retroactively change the fact that I had a blast following the series. Whatever happened, happened.

@sdotbailey2: That's stupid. I like Lost. So even if I HATE the last episode, how could it possibly be the case that I wasted all that time doing something I like?
If you don't like Lost, you don' t have to watch it. Clearly you've made that choice, but not everyone feels the same way.

This is decent I wasn't terribly impressed, but I do agree that a really professional 2D-animated version would be preferable to a 3D one.
But just to be pedantic--they're cousins. Not brothers.

I really, really liked "Exposé." It's one of my favorite episodes of Lost.
"Fear Her" is meh but certainly not "OMG ERASE IT" bad, and the same goes for "Where the Wild Things Are." The rest, I have no knowledge of.
