I remember when some Canadian broadcasters aired shows days in advanced of the US networks (sometimes just the previous hour). Ratings went down because viewers in the US with access to Canadian channels watched the Canadian broadcast instead.<br /><br />We'll see this week! It will probably be worth the slight delay if it happens.Bennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16036549649615941601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-71528060389281569252009-04-28T10:14:00.000-04:002009-04-28T10:14:00.000-04:00Anonymous: Good question.

He could go over, but it'll probably just delay the start time by a few minutes. Here's hoping it delays it and doesn't actually just make them cut into the already running programming.

After suggesting maybe the Archangel Gabriel, she's not sure what to make of Richard. <br /><br />I think Richard fits surprisingly well as the apocryphal Wandering Jew. Perhaps he's so long-lived because he didn't believe in the Island or its chosen leader ages ago and now is cursed to wait for the Messiah's return, living among others but doomed to be mostly an observer. This would explain both his general patience and calm as well as his stirrings of initiative on finding the Island's true chosen one, because he wants to be granted his rest.Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-24741101205368352302009-04-23T21:48:00.000-04:002009-04-23T21:48:00.000-04:00The actual article was actually in reference to AB...The actual article was actually in reference to ABC's early <I>renewal</I> of 12 shows for the 2009-10 season.<br /><br />There are shows still up for negotiations and others dropped while projects in development might get airtime as well.<br /><br />It doesn't mention any specific time frames for the scheduled airings.

Or, th...What has happened before will happen again. Or, the past is immutable. There's the idea that changing the past will affect the future, and the idea that it won't. And basically, it seems that what these guys are living through now has already happened before. It's just that we're seeing it for the first time just as they are. In their present lives, this is the first time it's happened. How else would it explain why Ben, as Henry Gale, picked Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and Hurley as his hostages (for Michael to bring to him)? Although he didn't ask for Jin. Maybe Jin did not affect his past the way these other guys did.<br /><br />So does this mean that of all the people there, Ben is actually the only one who knows what's going on? He's lived through it once, and that's why he asks for these four - because he remembers them. By going into the past, he's reliving it, and he is the only one who remembers. So is he playing dumb when he sees the photo in that room with Sun and Frank?<br /><br />I can't remember if Richard Alpert met Sawyer in previous seasons. I don't think so.<br /><br />And what does Locke have to do with all this? Somehow, he seems to be the thread that will tie it all together. Else, Ben would not be so concerned about him. Maybe Ben's trying to change a predestined pattern that only he knows about (since he remembers it all) by killing Locke. And destiny can't be changed.<br /><br />Are we just caught in a huge revolving circle of time?The Chapati Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08916089544395886858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-27343691989567159252009-04-21T15:15:00.000-04:002009-04-21T15:15:00.000-04:00Dude!

When he got married, Ethan took on his wife's last name instead of vice versa.<br /><br />2. He took on a pseudonym when he started defecting to the Others in order to separate his two lives (if he left willingly with Ben or otherwise).<br /><br />3. Amy is an Other and when she left, taking Ethan with her, they reverted to her maiden name.<br /><br />4. Ethan was kidnapped and given to an Other with the last name of Rom and he doesn't know that he was Dharma. I bet Alex thought her last name was Linus, not Rousseau.<br /><br />Random thoughts unrelated to Miles, but oft discussed here :)Rebecca T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11994380364321336824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-29697065609966353102009-04-20T09:42:00.000-04:002009-04-20T09:42:00.000-04:00Of course what would be truly twisted is if this n...Of course what would be truly twisted is if this new faction were all somehow the children of the the Oceanic surivors (ie, Ilyana is Sayid's daughter, Bram is the son of Kate and Jack - from their Ajira eve tryst, etc.).

Why can't these two be combined, and Eloise Hawking be leading a new Dharma Initiative? We don't know where her loyalties lie, and she's got an old Dharma station in her backyard (metaphorically speaking). Not sure if I really subscibe to this theory, but it's certainly a possibility.<br />The other thought, which is much more elaborate, is that it seems like EVERY character on this show has parent issues. Seriously. Except the minor ones, and there's the possibility that we just don't KNOW about their parent issues yet.Grimalkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116370083789464919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-13576823127946315912009-04-19T13:14:00.000-04:002009-04-19T13:14:00.000-04:00@redeem147: That was fun.

My hearty laugh for the day.<br /><br />Re: Miles and his abilities...<br />I wonder if he has another ability other than sensing things from the dead, something more, though I hesitate to use the word because of the connotations, psychic. There's a scene either in the deleted scenes or mobisodes from the season 4 DVDs that shows him looking around as though he's listening to something and then he walks through the sonic fence because he "knew" it was off, even though those with him think it's on. He brushes it off by saying it's a hunch. There are no dead people there in the open, so there really is no reason for him to know it according to his abilities.<br /><br />Are those kinds of things considered "canon"? Either way I think it's an interesting angle on his "specialness".Rebecca T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11994380364321336824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-11080006658365775622009-04-19T12:22:00.000-04:002009-04-19T12:22:00.000-04:00Just a thought I had now:

It's a feeling, a sense. When somebody's dead, their brains stop functioning, which means there's no more talking. It's just who they were and whatever they knew before they died."<br />Which means that Miles can't possibly know anything beyond the point of death. But Widmore hired him in order to talk to the dead people on the island (the DI, most likely) and find Ben.<br />I mean, this is not how Widmore's people found Ben anyway, but does it make sense that Miles ability couldn't have been of help anyway?Hisham Fahmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988963046927955555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-74479172197498259052009-04-19T09:31:00.000-04:002009-04-19T09:31:00.000-04:00That's okay, batcabbage.

Another simple one is that not all of the subs trips are made aware to her because... that's just the case. The choice to send scientists to the island is not hers and could simply have been made without her knowledge.<br /><br />I would really hate for seemingly inconsistencies to be unexplainable.
