America's commitment to space hasn't been the same since the Challenger exploded. We have been going down the road to put NASA in the grave for quite a while now.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 09:12 AM) LOL. Such a fan boy. There's so many other ways that could have been written to sound more natural and realistic. For instance: Locke: "I hate when they lose your bag" or have him somehow overhear Jack talk about his dad's coffin being lost. Because Locke is such a smooth conversationalist? Or the more obvious it that the line has a meaning that we don't yet know. Going back and rewatching the first five seasons, there are a ton of those when you have hindsight to understand them.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 09:14 AM) I don't think the U.S or China wanna kill each other. Its not about killing each other, think of it more like economic MAD.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 09:11 AM) How so? they make 98% of the things we use. We still have manufacturing and industrial capability. They are utterly dependent on the dollar. If we default on our debt, their government collapses.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 08:51 AM) China can destroy us without ever shooting a single bullet or missile. We can destroy them even quicker.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 08:57 AM) Good to see it took them months to come up with great lines like this: "I lost my bag, what did you lose?" Really? Why would anyone ever ask that in the lost baggage desk at the airport. Because people never make awkward conversations in crappy situations?

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 08:58 AM) Hmmmm, I think the alternate reality where they landed in LAX and mommy's waiting at the funeral for Jack's father is in 2004, but the original reality where Jacob was killed and Jack and the others are with the Others at the Temple is in 2007 because Lapidus is on the island, too. With two separate story lines, you have to guess that the 2004 groups existence is to stop Jacob's death.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 06:23 AM) Tex, How much did your tuition cost when you were in college? Plato taught him for a couple of drachmas.

Oh son of a b****! I can't wait a week!?!@?!?

WHAT IS HIS f***ING NAME!!!!

QUOTE (scenario @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 09:15 PM) If Viciedo's offensive tools develop as expected, they'll find a place for him to play. He's only 20. They have time. Don't forget, they have now three options, plus six years to work with.

Damn it. All new characters again? f***.

Whoa. Nice place of worship.

LAX. Huh. So the other line is in 2004 so that Jacob's murder can be stopped?

So it will be interesting to see how all of the people who already died, die again.

Dueling story lines... ooh, and Jacob!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 07:51 PM) You'll notice first that you've flipped units. Second, that Moody's analysis actually winds up with the same number you give there, $.25 or so/kwh, as the resultant cost. Why is that number so much higher than the one you give? Because nuclear plants have this nasty habit of having their costs overrun the initial value quoted by as much as a factor of 2-3. You see that in the Florida plants, in the San Antonio Plants, etc. They quote the low price to get people interested and maybe secure a loan where the Federal Government will eat most of the cost whether they get built or not, like what the President has just proposed. Then, as the project leaves the planning phase...boom.Here's Time Magazine talking about this issue last summer: Maybe if they called it stimulus spending?

OK, so what is the twist with the story line?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 05:47 PM) "Keep a log". . . heh heh . . . It was good enough on its own, but the double entre made it extra special.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 07:21 PM) What's the point of this remedial 1 hour episode? It's so ridiculously basic I'm not sure who it's intended for. They expecting people to start watching for the 1st time tonight? Weren't you the one who was asking who Jacob was like a week ago?

I know we had a dumb things on facebook thread, but this was too good to not post

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) Leon Phelps can help everyone with the Ladies. I usually favor the three step approach... Step one, cut a hole in the box.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 03:22 PM) Go back to the first page of this thread and retake the quiz. Also, this thread is over two years old. I thought about a new one for the new season, but I figured we would want to be able to easily refer back to the old one.

Didn't one publication have Hudson listed at the second best pitching prospect?
