The writer/producers claim that they have had this master plan and they are simply (for the most part) executing it.  (Sound familiar?)  That's where the sense of that comes from for the fans, I think.

Carlton Cuse said last year (I'll have to google it) that the numbers wouldn't be discussed any more after Season 5.  That when Hurley pulls up next to the Swan site in the Dharma van and sees them stamping the numbers on the hatch lid... that that was the, er... "swan" song for the numbers.  He gave the final off-screen description of the numbers as part of the Valenzetti Equation- a description offered during a season 3 or so ARG game.  But he said that that explanation would not appear on screen in Season 6- mystery closed.

My disappointment with the last several episodes to season 5 was that it didn't really resolve the "big question" of the season.  Can you or can't you change history while timetraveling?  The finale itself seemed to be very close to answering the question, but it ulitmately didn't.  Seemed like the writers themselves couldn't make up their minds during the season and they came to a stalemate at the finale.  Faraday's "What's happened, happened." seemed like a good rule for the show.  But when he showed up saying, "I forgot to include the variables!  And do you know what the variables are???"  No, Daniel... tell me what the variables are!  "The variables are us!  People, xhonzi... they are the variables!!!"  So, wait... you assumed that time was unchangeable because you forgot that people could make changes to it?  What else would have changed time, dirt or possibly monkeys?  Anyways, I thought that business came across as really poorly written and wishy-washy.

I'm hoping they do drop an awesome bomb that totally makes it all work.  I'm just managing my expectations because they probably won't.  Much like the Star Wars prequels, nothing could match the hype co-created by the sho creators and the rabid fans.   Unlike the prequels, hopefully it fails to match the hype but is still somewhat good.  :)

Except for Ewan McGregor.  He was excellent.

True OT Video Game.  Please, start another thread where we can discuss this.

Here's a new question for you all unrelated to this thread:

Does anyone have a soft copy of some SW Trivia?

Hey, why did I wake up inside a well?  I bet TheBoost had something to do with this!

I'm so afraid Season 6 will suck.  In fact, I was coming here to start a thread called, "Lost Season 6 Will Suck (and ruin Lost)".  Season's 1-5 have been primarily building up to... something.  Very little of it has been paid off.  Very few of the show-driving mysteries have been solved, and some of them have been forgotten.  Those that have been solved have been underwhelming (the numbers, the four toed statue).  We've been watching, loving, discussing a show that promised to deliver amazing answers to incredible questions... and recently I strongly doubt that they have these amazing answers at all.

It's sort of like a religion that promises to get you into heaven... and then mostly has a sign at the end that says, "Sorry folks... but all we got is Jersey."

I still haven't set up OriginalCaptainEO.com, so let me know if we can get a package deal.

Have you guys looked into this at all?  George Lucas forgive me, but I do love new movie technology.  Now I just need the $12k to drop on it to supe up my home theatre...

(make sure you read the linked to movie reviews)

(and yes, all 3 Star Wars movies are supported.  Plus some mythical Episodes 1,2,3 that I keep hearing about.  What's that all about?)

Special Olympics Editions?  Or is that too cruel to the members of the Special Olympics?

You have inspired me to google it.  Looks like Zune does it too: http://gizmodo.com/215303/we-were-wrong-zune-does-support-smart-playlists.

Wow... you started a thread.

Yeah, the Battle of Pelennor in the movie made me mad then too.

1. How do you do that with iTunes?  I've had iTunes before and am pretty happy not having it.

2. So I ask because if iTunes can do it, it's probably similar to do with other software.

But back to the topic at hand, I've played SW TP maybe 10 times. Once against my SW fan bro-in-law in front of our wives. I think we were both embarrassed at how much we knew, so we sort of played to lose. I won, so therefore lost.

I also played an 11 year old who was quite good. I tried to feign ignorance of the Prequels, but I had to answer the questions correctly to win. The answer to the winning question was "Nute Gunray." This was several years ago and I'm still upset about it.

"Awesome!" I thought as I came back to this thread after a couple days, "10 replies to my search for a softcopy of SW trivia questions!"

Thanks a lot, jerks. :(

If you've seen these books and thought about reading them, do it. They're pretty entertaining.

What do you all use to play your PC based music collections? I usually have mine on random, but it will eventually play a file from an audio book, or some kids music or something... I realize I could make a playlist including the 1000s of tracks I want and excluding the 100s of tracks I don't... but they're all (or mostly) correctly genre tagged so I'm looking for something that can take 3 or 4 genres (or more!) as an autoplaylist as opposed to song-by-song playlist.

Oh, I'm using Zune currently, by the way.

No man, real life if brown and grey because we've killed our Earth Mother, man! Don't you know? Living with all of these Earth Mother Killers is so depressing I just want to kill myself so maybe I will go to Heaven ruled over by the God that does not exist. Heaven may not be as awesome as Pandora, but maybe it will be soon... after the God that does not exist sees Avatar and makes a few colourful changes around the place. That or the God that does not exist strikes James Cameron with a lightning bolt and takes him to Heaven as the new interior/exterior decorator!

I'm glad someone posted that Avatar Blues article. Very disturbing. True, it could be some punks... but I bet some of it is real from people who bought into the whole "no green left on Earth" idea.

Does anyone have a soft copy, or know where to find one, of several hundred Star Wars Trivia questions? 

I have Star Wars Trivial Pursuit and am trying to avoid typing them all in by hand.  :(

YOU CALL ME THAT ONE MORE BELGUIMING TIME!

I dare you to...

Black Spider-Man, you say... hmmm maybe they could make a sequel to Spider-Man 2 (Spider-Man 3?  Or is that too obvious?) that could heavily feature this Black Spider-Man you speak of...

But only if you could...

I noticed that with Avatar to some degree.  My eyes adjusted to it and I found myself wondering if it was in fact still in 3D.  Mostly during 2 shots, I think.  Then an action shot would come up and that would have a great 3D effect and all would be forgiven.

NICK FURY: Agent of Nothing.  Good book!

I like bacon.

Where's that pic of you draped over a piano already?
