not a mad men thread
yes thats right i am the authority here

Oh yes - I watched S1, S2, and S3, plus all 7 eps of S4, in like 12 days :lol
4.07 was one of the best individual episodes of the entire series. Ive always found the Don-Peggy relationship to be the lynchpin of the whole show, and they knocked that one out of the park.
EDIT: eat it, mccoy!

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
yup, most compelling main character dynamic for me since Jack-Locke. It really is something special, and key to the show's appeal.Solo said:

Thats actually true, AND brings us back on-topic :lol I never thought of it like that, but there are some similarities between the two. Although I see Peggy not as a future Don like Jack was a future Locke-type, but rather I see Peggy as what Don used to be before he got all cynical and shit.

I'll do the unthinkable and agree with a Erigu point. Jacob's master plan to prove his brother wrong is all kinds of retarded. The way he went about things was truly senseless. So much avoidable tragedy, all hinging on a massive ego trip. Incompetent douche :lol

So because Jacob is flawed makes it a retarded story point?

Kate and Juliet are related as sisters.
I shit you not, look at what I just found out.
The same guy, both are Kate and Juliets father.
The pic on the top is from The Incident. It's Juliet's dad.
The pic on the bottom is Wayne and I think it's from What Kate Did.
The theory basically states:
* Wayne fathers Rachel and Juliet with Mrs. Carlson.
* Wayne cheats on her with Diane and Diane gives birth to Kate.
* Wayne and Mrs. Carlson divorce after she finds out about Kate in The Incident.
* Wayne, heartbroken over losing his daughters, begins drinking and comes to resent Kate for (in his mind) destroying his family.
* Kate kills Wayne just before the events of Not In Portland's flashbacks, Juliet finds out her father is dead and is upset over it, explaining her strangely weepy behavior in that episode.

^ woah... woah.
Plus, his hardline stance on choice and free-will was down right contradictory, considering his methods.
If he was portrayed as having aspergers or something, that'd make tons more sense to me. I kinda like that, actually...
It's not simply a case of being flawed. That part of the story requires a man - who has lived almost 2000 years - to handle the show's biggest "idiot ball" (to quote someone from earlier). As far as we know, his moratorium on human interaction was self-imposed. I'm sorry, but I just don't get what this dude absolutely, positively haaaad to prove, in order to benefit mankind. So yeah, Jacob's nonsensical logic does put a damper on my suspension of disbelief.Drealmcc0y said:

lol. tv shows use the same actors for minor characters a lot.

To get his brother to stay put.
MIB leaving the island will result in a lot of innocent people dying. MIB's actions on the island can (and did) result in a lot of people dying. This doesn't affect him at all because he has no regard for the lives of others. If Jacob can prove to him that human beings are not what their foster-mother claimed to be--and that they are actually decent people capable of self-improvement--then MIB would be less likely to toss them around like ragdolls.
It's like that episode of Futurama with the Popplers, now that I think of it. :lol
Jacob was portrayed as a good guy. The writers are to blame for his "flaws".Drealmcc0y said:
Against a freaking smoke monster?Blader5489 said:
It's just fucking idiotic. Not because Jacob is supposed to be flawed / an asshole, but because the writers couldn't come up with a better excuse for the guy's actions. Same thing for Ilana carrying the mystery box all over the island: she tries to explain that away, and it makes no fucking sense. Are you going to argue that it's part of her character: she just loves to carry heavy boxes? It's just terrible, careless writing.
Considering the guy apparently tends to slaughter them as soon as they arrive, that sounds fairly optimistic...
And of course, alternate solution: Jacob could simply not bring anybody on the freaking island in the first place.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
And once he saw that his brilliant plan was making absolutely no headway, he stayed the course, stubbornly repeating the same pattern over and over for centuries. Human collateral damage be damned.Blader5489 said:
Jacob is insane, blader. You know this to be true ;(
They finally confirmed where the island came from:
A yacht was traveling in the south Pacific when the crew came across a weird sight. Look at these photos and try to imagine the thrill of experiencing this phenomenon.
A BEACH?
NO!!!!This is not a beach;
it is volcanic stones floating on the water.
WHERE IS THE VOLCANO?
UNBELIEVEABLE SITE SO TAKE PICTURES
NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE IT
THE WAKE OF MY SHIP
STAY ON THE EDGE OF THE WATER
then this was spotted,
ash & steam (SMOKE MONSTER) rising from the ocean..
And, while WE were watching...
A plume of black ash...HUGE CLOUD.
COVERING RED EVEN THIS FAR AWAY
THEN THE SKY TURNS BLACK WITH ASH
AND THE OCEAN GOLD WITH SUNS REFLECTION
OUT OF THE OCEAN MOUNTAIN PEAKS ARISE?
MORE ERUPTIONS ASH AND CLOUDS
THE MOUNTAIN PEAKS RISE HIGHER WITHIN MINUTES
A brand new island formed...
CREATION OF MOUNTAINS
Can you imagine the thrill of being the first & only people to see a new island being created where there was nothing before?

Straight up, he's a colossal buffoon. Not the loveable kind either.Blader5489 said:

Sean Callery is at home scratching his head wondering how he holds the Emmy instead of Giacchino. Well Sean, we all are.
Listened to the whole soundtrack and it's great. They just HAVE to release another soundtrack for the last four episodes. After hearing how amazing all this music is, it would be absolute stupidity not to. In fact, I'm not even worried... I know they will, I have faith. But this soundtrack is definitely great. I love reading the descriptions on Lostpedia while I listen to the tracks too cause then I can recognize some themes I may have missed before and it makes me appreciate the music even more.
