I have a few friends who are on a waiting list to be an extra on the last episode. Also, the lovely lady who plays Sheila Franklin in our production of "Hair" was in the latest episode, too. I'm not sure where she is, tho...

AND... the nurse chasing Merry the Hobbit also auditioned for the "Dixie Swim Club" which I was assistant to the director for. She's fabulous, but we didn't cast her.

Hands off, bitch. He's MINE!

The next episode is supposed to be Hurley-centric.

I wish I would have been cast as the guy who got microwaved at the beginning of the episode. That would have been cool.

My favorite part of the whole episode is when Widmore stops the dudes with the stretcher, just so he can peel off the sheet and show the guy's burned-to-hell face to Desmond (and us) just before they throw him in there.

There was No Other Reason for this. Hahahahahahaha! Loved it.

I wish I could have "known" him. The guy who played Simmons (Jonathan Arthur) is a cutie!

Yeah, I thought he had a face too cute to burn off, but it was still my favorite part. (of the episode, not necessarily of him)

I've been thinking about Eloise telling Desmond you're not ready yet....Desmond responded ready for what?

The "what" itself is, by itself, an interesting question...but what I'd like to know is why he's not ready yet? Just what did Eloise mean by that?

I think she may have meant he(Island Desmond that is) hasn't flashed yet from the natural pocket of electromagnetism yet.

You see, he flashed from the artificial EM created by Charles....but neither Charles nor Eloise actually expected him to flash from the test...the test was just to see if he'd survive...nothing more.

So, since he hasn't flashed from the proper place yet he isn't ready yet.

The Widmores are like the early years of the Soviet Rocket program.....launching rockets accidentally when they meant only to test them.

Desmond is now an out-of-control rocket:)

I agree. It's what I meant when I said that love anchors people. It anchors emotions, it anchors relationships and maybe it even anchors you to the world you belong in.

....and another thing.....

Minkowski being in this latest episode brought back a question that has yet to be answered........why were the crew of that freighter committing suicide? I've speculated that the ship was in a place close enough to the Island but also still too close to the real world that Time itself -seemed- to almost stand-still....and for some of the freighties, this was causing them to lose their very minds.

Something like the short story by Stephen King...The Jaunt

I'll be looking for GC next week.....
