There are a lot of mysteries surrounding The Missing Pieces mobisodes. Who are they intended for? Do most Verizon subscribers even know they've been selected for these obscure broadcasts? Where are all the hot actors - like Terry O'Quinn the Emmy winner? Naveen Andrews? Evangeline Lilly? Josh freakin Holloway? Why are they numbered out of order? Were these training exercises for writing interns? But most importantly, what secret messages are hidden in these pieces that at first glance seem like they probably could have stayed missing? Let's lay them out and see where we stand and see if they're giving us any hints of where our upcoming micro-season is headed.
#1 a/k/a #107 The Watch
We start off, very originally, with Jack and his daddy, having another emo moment. Because no one ever gets enough of those. Seems Jack's daddy's daddy was also a dickhead, proving that blood is indeed thicker than ... um, tears. Which we get another sneak peak cameo of. Haven't you missed seeing Matthew Fox suck his crocodile tears back up through his big red nose? If so, this Missing Piece didn't disappoint.
Christian gives Jack the watch his father gave him on his wedding day...which was a mistake....sort of like Jack's wedding day. Jack puts on the watch, which is apparently not the watch we've seen him wear on the island. Did he lose the watch or just put it away until he gets the chance to mess with his own son's mind someday? ... The watch is wrapped in a white handkerchief, like the White Rabbit has before he jumps Through the Looking Glass...And Jack throws rocks. Like Desmond threw rocks when he discovered his secret power to flash on the future....And,uh, Jack wears sunglasses...Yeah, we got nothin.
What Missing Piece did we get here?
- Christian was sometimes sober.
- Jack's love life has always been as boring as shit.
-TIME, personified by the watch passed from daddy to son, is a central theme of Lost.
#2 a/k/a # 103 The Adventures of Hurley and Frogurt
This piece starts with Hurley escaping from Bernard's tent as porn music cronks in the background. A hideous looking redshirt approaches him to smarmily insult him about his upcoming date with Libby. Some sexist banter is exchanged about the soon to be murdered woman. The end.
There is one meaningful line in this one. The skeevy dude makes the comment that if Hurley fails with Libby, it will be "Neil Time...now and forever", which is such a nightmarish prospect it might have made Libby feel lucky she caught that bullet instead. But we can anagram that little tidbit into Time Line...unless he uses the alternate spelling of Neal, of course...in which case, nevermind....though if the Time Line is "now and forever", does that bring us back to Time Loops? Lost geeks everywhere certainly salivate at that possibility.
What Missing Piece did we get here?
-There are redshirts on the Island so foogly they make Hurley look hot.
-Hope is just a stupid joke because disaster lurks around every innocuous corner.
-Something else about TIME. I think they want us to think about TIME.
#3 a/k/a #101 King of the Castle
This was a rather classy piece. We see Jack and Ben, during Jack's period of cushy collaboration with the enemy, when he agonizingly suffered through chess games in Ben's handsomely furnished lounge. Jack flirts with Ben and Ben mocks him with false flattery. Oh, Jack, you're so smart. Oh, Jack, please stay with us. Oh, no, Jack, do you have me in check, you sneaky devil? Then Ben castles his king, proving once again that Jack's an amateur playing against a pro. Oh, snap.
This one contained some very telling lines. Ben assures Jack that they "have a deal". He tells Jack that it's up to the Island whether or not Jack will be able to leave. And he tells Jack that if he does escape, he'll want to return...to which Jack replies "Never". (Not even if he leaves Kate and Sayid in handcuffs as Ben's prisoners while he trots off with his new honey bunny.) It's a pretty sweet little vignette that references the awesome flash forward scene where we see for a fact that Ben was right. Duh.
What Missing Piece did we get here?
-Jack plays chess worse than he does ping pong.
- Jack is verrrry comfortable making deals with the enemy.
- Ben is ALWAYS right. Don't fucking mess with him...And no way is this Island "just" an Island.
#4 a/k/a #110 The Deal
In this piece, we revisit the theme of deals made with and for Ben, deals made by and between enemies. We learn that Juliet visited with Michael during his endless Waaaaaaaaalt quest. She explained that she'd made a deal for her sister's life and now she'd like to negotiate a deal with Michael to get Ben out of the Lostie's clutches, which will result in another deal that Michael may finally find a way to get his boy out of there. We get our first look at Harold Perrineau, as Michael sweats and frets over his lack of good options.
The piece ends on the interesting note that Juliet thinks Michael should accept this deal, even though she hints it might mean separation from Walt. There is a reminder that there are no limits to what people who really love others might be willing to suffer on their behalf. Juliet accepted captivity to save her sister. We know what Michael was willing to do to try and save Walt. Have both made deals that benefited others at their own expense? Deals that, not incidentally, also caused great harm to innocent bystanders.
What Missing Piece did we get here?
-Michael is back!
-Juliet and Michael have met before.
-When you really love someone, you'll make deals on their behalf even if it means hurting innocent people in the process. (Sort of like Jack did when he left Kate shackled in a pool room so he could get his own ass onto that sub.)
#5 a/k/a #106 Operation Sleeper
In this intimate little set piece, Juliet crawls into Jack's surprisingly spacious tent while he sleeps. Equally surprisingly, when he wakes, he does not slap her head up against the nearest solid object. Instead, they speak to one another calmly, respectfully, intelligently. Juliet opens up about the fact that she's been lying to Jack about her reasons for following him to the beach. Jack accepts this with a shocking degree of calm. Although she admits to him that she has just deceived him again, he blindly accepts that this time, she's telling him the truth. He doesn't grab her forearm and scream into her face and demand that she prove her honesty. He just looks kind of sad that she didn't come to the beach just because of her crush on him.
The most interesting line in this piece is when Juliet raises the possibility that Locke did not blow up the sub. This calls back to Jack and Ben's chess game, when Jack asks if Ben will blow up the sub, and Ben implies it is the Island, not any person, that makes that decision. This may be the most salient point raised in any piece so far. Perhaps the sub is a big red herring. Has anyone ever gotten on the sub, stayed awake and watched on the sonar screen as it travels across the ocean floor and resurfaces at the Island of Mystery? As a matter of fact, no. We've never seen that.
What Missing Piece did we get here?
-Juliet lies and tells the truth so glibly it's impossible to tell the difference. But Jack trusts her like he's never trusted anyone in his entire life. Go figure.
-We've all been as gullible as Jack when it comes to that submarine. It's a prop, I tell ya.
-Jack and Juliet sitting in a tree....k-i-s-s-i-n-g....You know it's coming.
#6 a/k/a #104 Room 23
This piece has a Hitchcockian feel to it. Ben and Juliet scurry about wondering what to do about That Kid. They've locked him into the brainwashing room and clearly he's not the supple subject that Karl was. Juliet drags Ben out to the back staircase to show that Walt has been using his super powers to convince birds they should smash themselves into the building and die.
This piece raises questions about why the Others took Walt. They say they "got more than they bargained for". Did they take Walt simply because they liked snatching loose kids? And they were totally unprepared to deal with Carrie's longlost brother, which is who they ended up with? What's with the birds, anyway? Do they come to Walt and die trying to reach him? Or does he call them so he can kill them? Was Ben telling the truth when he said Jacob wanted Walt? Or is this another creepy secret plan that's all about Ben? Is he trying to destroy Walt because he thinks he's the Usurper? If - as per Darlton- Richard is meant to be the Panchen Lama and was scheming to groom Locke as Ben's replacement, maybe Ben (as the Dalai) was working his own plan to replace Richard with the 'special' Walt. We see that Juliet wanted to drop that hot potato back on the beach and be free of him, but obviously her wishes did not prevail.
What Missing Piece did we get here?
-Poor Walt wasn't kidding when he cried to Michael about not wanting to go back into "that room".
-Something happened to Walt in Room 23 that made him grow a foot in a month and gave him the power to bring Locke back from the dead.
-Whatever forces Ben has control over, Walt isn't one of them.
#7 a/k/a #112 Arzt & Crafts
This piece starts by asking cell phone users to read teeny tiny translations of Korean on their 2 inch phone screens...which must have been quite annoying for anyone who really tried to watch these things on their phones. Then the funny man who died too soon makes a reappearance. Good old rumpled bloviating "doctor" Arzt. We flash back to the controversy over Jack's plan to hide in the caves. Arzt thinks it's a bad idea because it will be all moldy and buggy and stinky back there...and also he thinks Jack is a fruit loop because he saw him chasing his dead daddy through the jungle one day. We knew there was some reason we loved Arzt.
This is a funny piece that reminds us of a season one plot point, the caves, that the writers seemed to want us to forget. It always struck me as strange that, with all the flammerjammer they put us through about going to the caves, they never bothered to explain why exactly everyone suddenly changed their collective mind and came back to the beach. But maybe that's just part of the gentle humor in this piece. We get Arzt's mockery of Dr. Dickhead and then we're reminded that Arzt really is just another hero worshipping coward when push comes to shove. Just one echo of the Monster and Arzt beats feet off to the shelter of Daddy Jack, just like so many fans of Lost keep trying to do.
What Missing Piece did we get here?
-Killing off Arzt so quickly was a big mistake. Anyone who can take the piss out of Jack like that should have been kept as the last man standing.
-Maybe this "hero" Jack that everyone is 1000% relying on has flaws that go beyond his cute little daddy issues.
-Remember how everyone went to the caves for no reason? Wasn't that stupid?
#8 a/k/a # Buried Secrets
Close-up for scrutinization!
Sun mentions that the Island is her punishment, an apparent reference of the bad things she has done to Jin. The affair, the planned abandonment. Yet, she's willing to suck face with Michael right then and there. Mmkay. She also says she couldn't leave Jin at the airport because she was too afraid...even though we all saw her melt with love when her handsome husband offered her a white flower at the last second. Was this Sun telling another lie to get Michael's sympathy? Or just amnesia on the part of writers distracted by the strike that was about to put them out of work?
What Missing Piece did we get here?
-Guilt seems to be a very flexible concept for Sun.
-Sun and Michael got a thang going on.
- Sun's license expires: 03-20-2008...as in the date of the final episode of our eentsy weentsy micro season. Does that mean our 2008 season expires on that day...or that Sun does?
There's a few more of these gems coming out in the remaining weeks of our waiting game. So far, to be honest, we can't find a theme in these Missing Pieces. It wouldn't make sense for anything big to be slipped into them when no one but the most psychotically addicted Lost fans are even watching them. But we'll keep an eye out and try and stay up on them.
In the meantime, now's a good time to wish everyone the best in 2008...To Geese Friend and Geese Foe alike. Enjoy your Happy New Year!!!!!!
And please remember, whatever you do...

Missing the Pieces
Saturday, December 29, 2007
Before that train runs right off the rails, we’d like to pass along a very helpful primer on “Human Reproduction”, brought to the Fishelage by this week's MVP, Cactus. Can’t ever have too much Sex Ed, now can we?

WE ARE...GEESE!!!
All snarkiness aside here, the serious subject of geese must be broached and an investigation conducted into what they represent, especially at this time of year and especially since we represent these bee-yoo-tiful birds. Feasting on geese has long been a tradition in the ancient world and even today a traditional roasted goose for Christmas dinner can make an extraordinary alternative to turkey. Did you know that their slow growth and happy life leads to a better tasting goose, compared to the turkey, which may have more meat but doesn't have a patch on the goose for flavor? Let's concentrate on the wonderful live variety though, since the gaggle is present here.
After all, the goose may be exceedingly tasty to some, but we don't want to roast any one of them! We can always pop bubbles instead.
Losttvfan did some research and provided us with some more insight on this wonderful bird, dropping in the information to the Fishelage,
- I think you'll appreciate the amazing facts she found:
"The clever little nickname the Jaters have bestowed on us as a group got me to thinking, so I did a little research on geese:
Facts about Geese:
Geese are very family-oriented birds when they mate; the pairs usually stay together for life.
When a goose gets sick or is wounded and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They will stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies, and only then do they catch up with their group. If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other like that.
Geese may be one of the most talkative animals after humans.
Geese like grains, succulents, forbs, and grasses.
Geese will aggressively defend their nest sites and can harm people when provoked.
Most geese prefer bodies of water that have gentle sloping shorelines with easy access to food. Warm, friendly ponds are perfect!
Geese are very loyal to their families and very protective of their partners and offspring.
Multiple families of geese come together to form a larger group called a gaggle. This strength-in-numbers approach comes in handy when they are flying long distances or faced with a common foe.
Geese are outgoing, social animals who feel most at ease when they’re in a larger group
Guess what, I even have video!
Lessons from Geese:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cdyej0AJaI
Turns out we do share some characteristics with our feathered friends and guess what, we can be proud of most of them. You could call us worse names, as geese seem to be social, smart, talkative, loyal, friendly, protective of each other, willing to bite back when bitten, tend to work as a team, are territorial, devoted to their mates and their flock, find strength in numbers and are fond of succulents. The last part may not the best news for Cactus!"
Yes, that's right, we're fond of one succulent in particular. Promise not to eat the prickly one this Christmas though!
It's good to know our friends can help raise us above the flock when we need to -- we wouldn't want to assume we're entitled to our wonderful Lost ship:
Jaters, we have to thank you for naming us appropriately. You've had your goose cooked now!
WE ARE...GEESE!!!! -- Embrace it!
We do come in varieties, with one main direction generally in mind,
and have a tendency to congregate, to chat --
often found swimming in the calm blue waters of a rather friendly pond.
Merry Christmas to all from

We Were Wrong
Never let it be said that we can't admit our mistakes around here. All this time we've been dissing Matthew Fox because we didn't understand why he was playing the glorious Hero of Lost as such an insufferable douche....How did we not realize he was actually creating a characterization of unique and powerful art?
Look here at what a 29-year old, male, non shipping, non hormonal, heterosexual Fan of Fox has explained to us. The scales are falling off our eyes:
http://www.42inchtelevision.com/
"What started during the second season took full flight during season three. At some point, Fox stopped being the traditional hero of the piece and started becoming, well, kind of a dick. Jack is everything a hero should NOT be: self-righteous, angry, spiteful, jealous, manipulative and obsessive compulsive to an almost freakazoid nature. And Matthew Fox plays him so expertly, so deftly... Every time he was on screen he did something more maniacal, more dastardly and more unlikable. Fox is taking equal parts Captain Ahab, George W. Bush, Colonel Walter E. Kurtz and every jealous ex-boyfriend in the history of jealous ex-boyfriends, throwing them all into a blender and hitting puree to create Jack. And as a result, he's not just giving the best performance on the show, he's giving the best male performance of the year."(credit goes to Prof Dez for finding this particular gem)
B-b-b-but how does this correspond to the MosesJesusYahweh figure that the Fuse fans spend days and nights worshiping?
Forever_Erica: "His compulsiveness to care so much lies in what he does and not always in what he says, and that is what makes Jack this great leader. Rose said it best, "You have a nice way about you. A good soul, patient, caring." "
Shoegirl:"We will delight and discover that there are more beautiful colors of his soul and brush strokes of his humanness. Jack is an ever changing exquisite breathtaking masterpiece."
Shoegirl:"His arms are strong, his hands hold guns, and babies."
Flyer:"The Losties would be lost without Jack. They’d be killing each other over a fish or dying of thirst while they whined over who should have to go to the caves to get water or they’d drown in the ocean following their destiny. He’s their compass."Does Jack being "maniacal, dastardly and unlikable" and/or this string of pearls - "self-righteousness, angry, spiteful, jealous, manipulative and obsessive compulsive to an almost freakazoid nature" - really require any acting on Foxy's part. Or is this just a case of art imitating life?
And please tell me again just who got nominated as finalists for Emmys this year? And who won? Read more...

CAPTION THIS, 2nd TIME AROUND!
It was way too difficult to choose a winner from the vast array of wonderful Jate captions last time, so I thought you might enjoy entertaining yourselves -- and everyone, including me -- again!
Take a look at this Jater marvel and see what 3-armed Jack can do for you!!
- Now I wonder if that's Sawyer's hand putting a smile on Kate's face?
- Or is Jack handy because he couldn't decide if the wedding ring suited or not?
- After his last miserable manip escapade, perhaps Jack decided he needs three hands to do what Sawyer can do with one?
Tell me who -- I mean what - you think Jack and Kate are fantasizing about here! Bring on the funnies!

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES
We were all sooooooooo bored.
Mobi-snores. No spoilers. No sightings. No DVD party. No promos. No gossip. Nada...It almost looked like we were about to hit that wall we'd been seeing in the distance all hiatus long...But never fear! We are without a doubt the luckiest fans in the history of fanaticism. Because we have what no other fangroup has ever had. We have JATERS!!!
Our own personal little bubble fountain of kookitude, Forever_Erica, probably thought nothing of it when she decided to bring over a brand new Phony Quote to the Couch. Now that's not exactly out of place on the Couch, as we well know. They love phony made up shit. Without phony made up shit, there wouldn’t even be a Couch. They’ve got a phony made up harlequin romance that they pretend is the primary focus of Lost.
They’ve got their very own phony made up spoiler source. "Secondly, Bansh has stated before that the NYC street quote came from the Oracle who said it was in the Lost Bible. So, apparently it wasn't directly from JJ in an interview, but it is a real quote. Or, at least, thats evidence enough for me."
They’ve got phony made up pictures.
So, what’s wrong with phony made up quotes? Like this one: "When it comes to Jack, he doesn't treat Kate like a sextoy, he treats her as his equal, and ultimately, that's what will bring Kate to her knees about Jack." – Damon Lindelof
A quote that seems not to have originated with Damon Lindelof at all, but with some Brazilian Jater who jumped ship long ago, shortly after posting this oddly familiar bit of Jater Jibberish: "Jack, obviously interested, treats her as a peer, not a sex toy. That will bring you to your knees, if you're Kate. It makes you evaluate some things in yourself." - FoxyFan, RIP
Now to their GREAT credit, the mods did ask the Devout Dingbat to take a break from her gloating and bashing to source her wonderful new quote. It's a simple thing to ask, and the Evangelical Go Go Girl could have chosen the dignified way out. But she chose instead to show her"Yeah, I love that quote too. It really makes you understand CLEARLY what Damon thinks about the Skate relationship in comparison to the Jate epic creation. I agree with him wholeheartedly. And you're right, he's been there from the beginning, he and JJ sat down and created this great love story, and he's going to direct us to that ultimate conclusion..."
And given a chance to back down gracefully, she chose again to show even more "Now, I have searched for a link and haven't been able to retrive one. I believe that the quote is true. Every single word of it. What's depicted on the show shows that its message is true. But I am a bit iffy on if our Head Writer/Jater said it or not (I believe that he did, based on what my fellow Jater posted), but it doesn't take away from the truth of the statement IMHO....I believe the quote. I don't believe that it was fabricated, but as Lovey mentioned, people make up things online all the time. The quote stays and the truth of its message is not tarnished in my view."
until really she left the mods no way out but this:"F_E you do realize this is not acceptable. just b/c you like it and "trust" the person who posted it does not make it true. you are basically taking some words and attributing them to one of our VIPs just to support your ship. this is wrong on many levels and while it is not exactly covered in our rules here, you are walking on the wrong side of things. ..if you cannot produce the exact quote, then you need to remove it. or at least remove Damon's name from it as it is clear that he didn't say it. i have had several people link me to various sites and posts on other forums showing variations of the "quote" in your siggy. this leads me to believe that you did in fact just make the whole thing up. seriously, don't you think your ship would be better supported by an actual quote complete with cited source? you just make you and your ship look bad by such an action."
Her friends rushed to her defense with typically brilliant, logically air tight arguments."They both make quotes about both couples all the time. I can see Damon saying that about Jate, however, he's also said some nice things about Kate and Sawyer also. I don't think it's impossible to think he would say something like that about Jate. He writes their story so he knows better than anyone."
Just think. If you were a defendant, wouldn't you KILL to have one of these people as the prosecuting attorney? "The guy is guilty. I don't think that's so hard to believe, is it? Lots of people are guilty. No, I don't have any evidence or proof. I just know he's guilty. What's the big deal?"
You’d think if Jate was so Fated, if it they were so "central in the story,they're the end game,they're the core&soul of the show,they're each others salvation,they're the black&white,the Adam&the Eve,the human face of the LOST mythology,they love each other and have had the hardest journey"
it wouldn’t be necessary to constantly make shit up, would it? But then again, when you’ve invested yourself in the CERTITUDE of an ultra whacky, unpredictable tv show that you have absolutely no control over, maybe this really is the best way to go about things.
But maybe we’re the ones who are approaching this incorrectly, trying to read through the tealeaves with an honest eye.What's really wrong with slapping random names on random quotes and then wetting our panties over them? It's all for fun,isn't it? Maybe we need to be PLAYING a little bit more. So let’s give it a whirl, shall we? Let's play a new game -
THE QUOTE GAME
SOURCE THAT QUOTE
Here are three quotes that Jaters love to fling around. So far as I know not one of these quotes can be sourced back to anyplace resembling the reality-based universe. In fact these quotes seem so absurd and outlandish that it seems they can only have originated in the squirrel brain of a Jater. However, since we can’t PROVE they’re not true (neat trick that), let’s give our friends one last chance to redeem themselves.
Phony Quote 1: "On the other hand, Jack and Kate are a classical and romantic couple.They are amazed by each other, and as the time runs, they start to depend of each other,care about each other, the connection between them is getting stronger this season. There is always something, someone in their way. That makes the audience support them all the time" – Damon Lindelof
Phony Quote 2: "When it comes to Jack, he doesn't treat Kate like a sextoy, he treats her as his equal, and ultimately, that's what will bring Kate to her knees about Jack." – Damon Lindelof
Phony Quote 3: "You could put, Jack and Kate on a, NYC street, and have them pass each other, at rush hour, on a Wednesday morning. And, they would stop, and turn, slowing to watch each other go by. They know each other within the context, of a universal recognition. They have met before, this life. And, they will meet again, in another." - J. J. Abrams
For this game only we're offering a GRAND PRIZE: To anyone who can provide either scans or links to original source materials for all three of these quotes, we hereby offer to turn over this Journal to whatever you would like to post here – fake quotes, ugly manips, naked Foxy pictures, odes to Jainy Jex...completely unaltered, uncensored, just the way you want it.
GUESS THE ENDING QUOTES
These are frequent Jater sigs and slogans where the ending of the quote has mysteriously disappeared. See if you can match up beginnings with endings:
1. Evangeline Lilly: “If I were to go with the storyline, and if I were to go with what I think is gonna work for the story…it's gotta be Jack,but...”
2. Damon Lindelof: "And concerning the relationship between these two people, I believe that Jack is attracted to Kate, but..."
3. Damon Lindelof: "Jack is the guy she should be with. She does genuinely love him and she knows that he would take excellent care of her but..."
4. Javi :(Responding to question:Is it over for Sawyer and Kate?) "It's over...."
A...."Sawyer is the guy that she's really drawn to. He is a model of a guy she's been with before. He likes being the bad boy, he wants everybody to hate him. He's Han Solo, he's Captain Jack Sparrow and probably does not truly treat her the way she wants to be treated but at the same time that makes him sort of mysterious and sexy."
B...."Just like Ross and Rachel were over. And Dave and Maddie were over. And Han and Leia were over. And Rick and Ilsa were over. And Antony and Cleopatra were over."
C. ..."but if I were to go with what's gonna work for like 99% of the women in this world, at this point it's Sawyer. They're lovin' Sawyer right now."
D. ..."but he knows deep down that she'll never be what he needs, that she'll never play the part, and that all things considered, she's much more attracted to someone like Sawyer." --
GUESS THE JATER QUOTES
1. "I don't even consider the Sawyer element as a reality."
2. (Responding to the comment:He’s actually coming into the man he can be because of his love for Kate.)"I think it’s beautiful and so endearing. I feel like, unfortunately, it’s my job to play Kate one way, but I feel like, “Awww Kate! Can’t you see how much he is trying and what he needs from you?”
3. "...Cool ideas, and it’s a pity that they’re never gonna be part of the show, because our mothers wouldn’t care. At the risk of making this a running gag - but my mother will ask: Alvar who? I want to know when Kate and Sawyer are finally going to kiss!"
4."When she is around Sawyer, suddenly who she is doesn't have to be hidden and I think she's less ashamed of it. I think she is more able to say, "This is who I am. Take it or leave it,buddy!'' That's a real gift. In real life, usually the people we feel the most in love with and attracted to are the people that allow us to be ourselves- faults and all."
5. "One of my favorite things has been the development of Sawyer's relationship with Kate, which has been such a cat-and-mouse thing. I'm a man and I love to work with a woman. I love the energy between men and women and I try to play with that."
6. "Yeah, they (Sawyer & Kate) did it, they've got an amazing thing. They are so much fun to watch."
7. "Jack is like someone she almost idolizes and that, to me, is not the kind of relationship I'd want to be in. I don't know about you, but I don't wanna worship the guy that I'm with."
8."The fact that she cared enough about this cowboy that drove her crazy to get back in that cage was incredbly significant. And I was sitting there reading and I was like "Yeah!"
9. "It was great. I mean you think about it, you know, in a show, in a television show, to basically go fifty-five hours before these two characters who are in love with each other actually finally culminate and, you know, make love. And I think it's really amazing, and I think it was all the better for that. And I think just as a starting point to that relationship, and you know, really kind of deepening and existing on a different level, it was really a great scene. "

1. "I respect Matthew very much as an actor, but Josh and I have gotten to a point, especially this past season, where we have such a comfort level with each other, such a sense of intimacy. I can't imagine doing love scenes with anyone other than him." - Evangeline Lilly
2. RS: Season 3 was the Season of Romance, but what will that make Season 4? Romance free?
DL: [laughs] I wouldn't say romance free. There are definitely some relationships waiting to be explored, and what's fun is that we have so many different romances in different stages of development. You have Sun and Jin who are clearly, um... they're the established married couple dealing with a pregnancy, and all the danger that entails on the island. Then we have Sawyer and Kate who are just moving into a new phase of their relationship where the stakes are so much higher, and that of course scares the hell out of both of them. And then there's also Jack and Juliet, who are sort of this new, tentative romance that's just starting out, and there should be lots to explore there, so that's really fun. I would say romance won't be so much the focus of Season 4, but I don't think people will be disappointed.
3. "You know, again in contrast to the flashbacks, where she's got this man who is doing the exact opposite. He's, you know, really really heartfelt and intense and intimate about the way he will look her in the eye and say, 'I love you Monica.' And it's just really sort of what you imagine the traditional idea of falling in love with someone being like. And then here on the island she's got, you know, a guy who's kind of throwing it out there flippantly while she's not even looking at him, and it seems to mean so much more. " - Evangeline Lilly
4. "People do root for Sawyer, and I think that's one of the great things about the character. The audience loves him as a smart-ass and a loner, but they also want him to open up and experience love and have the types of good things he's always avoided and, you know, sort of shunned. You see this guy falling in love and you want him to somehow make it work and stop being such an ass." - Carlton Cuse
See how easy this can be? Now you try it. We'll start!

Let's see what you all can come up with. You can even put it in your sig at the fishelage, like Cactus.
"Forever_Erica? That bitch is crazy." - Damon Lindelof
Speaking of CACTUS, we really owe our reincarnated Borscht Belt comedian a prize of some kind. For being the first to get the balls rolling by discovering this hilarious nugget of mendacity, we'd like to award a nice manly dish of
For JESSICA1984, and her intrepid journey into the heart of hilarity to bring this unwelcome bit of clarification to the Couch Potatoes:"This was simply a quote from a Jater, nothing more nothing less. It could not be from an interview earlier in the year because it was dated froom 2006. It really isn't right to use Damon's name to enhance a quote made by a fan, but that's just my opinion. "
We award COOKIES!
For LYLY FORD!!!!, a genius super sleuth of the highest order, no award even seems worthy. Somehow this girl with a supercomputer for a brain managed to recall and locate the obscure quote from an obscure, vanished poster, made over a year ago, and turned the key that let all the marbles loose. So since one award won't do, we offer LYLY FORD!!! a whole pinata's worth:
And then there's HALFREK...Ahem. Now, we have been hard on Halfrek. But credit where credit is due.
that is great. you believe. getting snippy with mods? not such a good idea.
whether or not her siggy was reported is none of your business. what is important here is that the quote appears to be from one of our VIPs. if it is inaccurately attributed to them, then it must be corrected. we will not tolerate others slapping a name on something if the VIP did not say it.
yes, it is a big deal that it was claimed to have come from Damon. we protect our VIPs here and allowing someone to use their name to further their ship is just not acceptable.
Just for this one line alone, we feel like giving her smoochies: that is great. you believe.
You go, girlfriend!
We can't really smooch you, Halfrek, and...uh, don't worry, we don't really want to. But we DO want to give you an Award. Do you like Chocolate? How about some really delicious Belgian chocolate in the shape of a beautiful FISH? Here you go, Halfrek. It's my pleasure.
And last, but not least, we need to thank the most important people of all, the ones who have made this endless hiatus so eminently entertaining. We don't know what we could possibly have done without you wonderful people and your Couch that is without a doubt, the ULTIMATE gift that keeps on giving.
