Midnight In The Desert

[Jackstar]

Think about it, Alpert and Linus figured out how to survive in that hellish, ridiculous island. I respect that.

Alpert was anointed and given eternal life by begging a supernatural being, and Linus murdered a ton of people at that same being's behest. Seems rather less like "figured out" and more like "sold out."

I kinda liked the crazy French broad too.

Crazy hot, you mean! She's one who figured out how to survive: trust no one.

Well, Locke, but look what happened to him. Think about it, Alpert and Linus figured out how to survive in that hellish, ridiculous island. I respect that. I kinda liked the crazy French broad too.

They way to survive on that island was not to let anyone on one team of doubles know you were from the other team of doubles.  Better yet, not to let on that you knew anything at all.  Because the only thing that made the island hellish is that it was the conflict area of two groups of doubles of persons who were killed in a real plane crash (which nobody survived) -- doubles who were there to back up a story that they'd survived a plane crash, and that among them was Alvar Hanso.

Thanks for the spoiler alert

Except...none of that happened.  Phony back story.

That's for sure!

20% free energy... 😂😂😂

Phony back story.

Then who killed Roger Workman?

[Robert]

Yeah, funny how he slipped that in there.

I wonder if he'd buy bottled tap water from me? $9.99 per bottle!

All new season of Girls on HBO, boys.

Oh like you wouldn't beg the supernatural being for eternal life after it tried to strangle you on a beach right next to a giant stone foot/house that it inexplicably rarely leaves.

Crazy hot, you mean! She's one who figured out how to survive: trust no one.

Yes, quite an attractive woman, I agree. I really enjoyed her story arc along with Locke's.

Lena Dunham molested her own sister. She addmited to it in her own biography. smh

[Robert]

Then who killed Roger Workman?

Could've died of natural causes, then was a tissue donor.  They gave us that clue in one of the early episodes wherein Claire read from a corpse's driving license, "Oh, it says he was going to be an organ donor!"  He was an organ, or more likely tissue, donor.  Have you heard about the sloppy keeping of those bodies?  So easy to obtain one after the parts are harvested.

The scenes of a living Roger Linus were all a phony back story that Benry was prepared to tell.  Did you notice that Roger Workman-Skeletor's supposedly severed arm was the wrong one?  That was a shout-out to an A.C. Doyle story that was collected along with the one for which Lost is named & was partly based on: "The Lost Special".  But it shows that Roger Workman's body was faked, put together from parts of others.

Real piece of work, that one

Already checked that out. New site is pretty glitchy when trying to read it on the iPhone.

Keep going, I won't ever have to watch an episode.

ugh....

A disgusting individual. That's for sure.

Don't be so sure, because now I'm thinking I have to watch them all again. There are worse fates, I'm not complaining, although I had other plans for my Spring.

Solar roadways are not a viable energy source. It sounds good, but it doesn't work. Production costs, and the panels don't store enough energy to make it worth the cost.

Made up a college rape story for the same book IIRC

She made up the whole book lol.

Uh, DAVE SNOORY pronounced Antonin Scalia's name correctly.  (Yes, he did stumble on the ranch's name...)

I'm familiar. A campus "republican"... I think she may have an agenda.

[Designx]

I may have to call in later about the idea of covering roads and parking lots with solar cells.

Who writes a biography in their 20's? A lying narcissist, that's who.

Well, if the money is flowing, might as well take advantage. But yeah, Lena Dunham is a useless human being.

[ShayP]

Hello everybody!    Hope all is well. 

I notice there is talk of the show Lost in the thread.  I smite that with discontent.  The show of course....not the discussion. 

Aside from that....

CHEERS! 

[Robert]

That's the point.  Read my analysis at http://users.bestweb.net/~robgood/teach, read or watch the source material (mostly British, it seems -- Hamlet, Arthur Conan Doyle, Department S, Watchmen, Jonathan Creek, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, The Life and Loves of a She-Devil -- but also American -- Illuminatus!, adaptations of Doyle's "The Lost Special", It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Seconds -- and then rewatch Lost, and LOL.  If you don't get behind the plot, it's a suspense story with an extremely disappointing ending & makes little sense; once you do get behind the surface to what's really happening, it's a laugh riot, if you have a dark sense of humor.  Also study about scams & classic magic tricks.

Google thunderf00t - solar freakin roadways

A glorious takedown of the entire idea. Science included! By a real scientist.

[Robert]

And the kicker is, Lost is based, albeit very indirectly, on a real-world event: the loss of Engine 115 in a sink hole in Lindal, England on Sept. 22, 1892.

As you rewatch, take seriously anything that looks like a mistake.  They're not errors, they're clues.
