Mad About Lost!

Holy crap - FIRST!

Johnny Ghostwatch said...

I never added to the podcasting argument.

The only time it's ever rubbed me up the wrong way is the podcast of professional broadcaster Martin Kelner who has recently started wanting money from customers for them to actually receive the podcast (about $2 a week) which is vastly different from selling some T-shirts or requesting a donation.

I don't podcast, but the thing you don't know about me is that for about five years I've been in a semi professional band and since 2005 we've racked up over 200 playings on radio (mostly on BBC national radio), have appeared on a compilation album (available in normal high street record stores) and have had two singles out - one a download single (which has sold pretty well), one on vinyl (not sold quite as well but had a lot of radio play) and have another download single coming soon. We have also had one of our tracks used as backing music on a programme aired on national television network Channel 4.

Despite all this, ever since our first radio play in 2005, I personally (we're a three piece) have made the equivalent of about $200, every penny of which is taxable and none of which has been spent on anything other than webspace, stationery, envelopes and stuff.

This rock n' roll lifestyle is clearly all glitz.

Perhaps I should ask you all to buy my single? But then what can I offer? Never again mentioning Doctor Who?

i was hoping the new thread would end the conversation from the last thread.

let's have fun!

Johnny Ghostwatch said...

Sorry, Ralph-O, missed my chance before and shoulda just held my peace (although I am cheesed at Kelner charging for his actual podcast).

RIGHT - that MAD Magazine parody: when is it from, and was it any good?

Scott said...

Woohoo... 6th. :)

The cover of the MAD Magazine says May 2005...

hello all, its been a while for me.

memphish said...

Ghostwatch, here's a link to the Mad Magazine Lost layout.

There's also this skit done on Mad TV to enjoy.

memphish said...

Hi SadAce!

/8 Kablamo!

Stephanie said...

Official Lost Podcast is out.

PalmerEldritch said...

i wonder what those two guys have to say in their podcast. i'll have to wait until this weekend to find out. let me know if its TOTALLY AWESOME.

memphish said...

I've read that the OLP is a recording of the Comic Con panel and includes the Mr. Friendly audio, but not the Orchid video audio.

Holli

PalmerEldritch said...

Dancing Filipino Inmates

yeah...

memphish said...

Interesting Josh Holloway news.

Holli

Jordan said...

Damnit! I too missed out on all the fun yesterday in the last thread! That was rather impressive. It ever brought Jay & Colleen out of the woodwork. lol. Oh well. I'll honor the Ralph man's wishes and let it die.

Face tat for Sawyer? Who's he been hanging out with of late? Mike Tyson? Quick, somebody do a morph thing with JH & a face tattooed Tyson!

Trevor McFur said...

Off to the beach for a week today! Have a great weekend everyone!

Jordan said...

Here you have it.

Josh Tyson

Jordan said...

And here's another:

Aimee in Little Rock's baby after a drunken night in Vegas

Mattastic said...

I think Josh Holloway should consider teeth modification instead.

Aimee Dae Kim

[ally] said...

What is Aimee gonna do with all these kids? Start her new version of Lost?

elias said...

Season 4 Casting News

I'm a fan of this actor, especially his work for the Coen bros.

memphish said...

I'm listening to the ...And Found SAS and it's funny how badly wrong imdb was back in the day.

Holli

memphish said...

Wait now they're dissing people who hang out in internet places, boards and the like. I'm sure they didn't mean us.

Holli

elias said...

Memphis Gansta Dog

memphish said...

Yeah, isn't that nice Elias. I put it on the boards too. So proud to live here.

Holli

elias said...

shoulda checked Holli - but I like the story and the dog's name :)

Stephanie said...

Knut should come to the US. He'd fit in nicely here.

Elias, should I do one at a time? Will two or more slow it down? I can't imagine it getting any slower.

Mattastic said...

elias, any guesses as to who Peter Stormare might play on Lost? I recall reading that the Lost producers were casting a new actor to play Jacob. Maybe it's this guy. I was looking at the screencap of Jacob again and he's got a high forehead, just like Stormare. And since we know there's some funky non-aging going on, and that Jacob was dressed rather old fashioned, maybe casting an actor with a European accent means Jacob is/was a European explorer, captain of the Black Rock, marooned on Lost island, trapped in an insane time rut, "Help me!" he says.

Wow, I can really ramble....

PalmerEldritch said...

watch out for accidental spoilers in Mattastic's post there.

some people are allergic to spoilers. others love 'em.

"that guy" is pretty cool and i'd gladly welcome him (or her?!) to LOST.

Stephanie said...

Oh no. We've stepped into spoiler territory. Oh well while we're here, I was thinking he's the guy on "Not Penny's boat" that Jack contacted on the satellite phone.

mb said...

Ghost -
Holy crap - didn't realize you had music out there for the listening. Very modest of you not to self-promote by giving links to your stuff - but now I'm asking, where can I check your stuff out?

Mattastic said...

If anyone read my comment above, which I since deleted, sorry. I may have over-reacted. If Lost can boil my emotions like that, and it's only August 3, I can't imagine what I'll be like on January 3. The waiting may indeed kill me.

elias said...

Steph - one at a time is usually quicker but you can do two or three. check options/ speed guide/ check if port is forwarded properly. also do the speed test. you could try different maximum upload speed settings - they say it should be set to 80% of your upload speed.

in prefernces uncheck UPnP port mapping and uncheck randomize port. the other two boxes are checked on mine.

let me know if any of this doesnt work.

mb said...

And - to everyone - sorry about not being on top of the spoilers on this one.

Come over to the SPLOG
to discuss without spoiling anyone else over here. Too late for some I know - sorry!

PalmerEldritch said...

don't worry about it, mattastic.

we had a little anti-spoiler movement last season so we try to accommodate those who are opposed to spoilers. some of us embrace them fully though.

MB's got the 'splog at http://lostinitiativespoilers.blogspot.com/ for us to talk spoilers all day and all night.

also, we can party with our spoiler loving selves over at the SAS Forum at http://scottandsteve.proboards57.com. just put "spoilers" in the subject line of the thread or something like that.

oh! and an old favorite is to just say "SPOILERS!" before you talk about anything that some people might not want to be "spoiled" about.

Benjamin said...

Ralph! Quick, tell me if Colleen is joking or if I was really talking in my sleep in the hotel room! I must know!

Mattastic said...

Ben, wait, you were sleeping in a hotel room with Colleen? Scandalous...

Benjamin said...

Oh yeah, baby! It was totally scandalous. Picture this hot scene: Everyone was crowded around Ralph's lap...top watching Arrested Development on a Saturday night in a college town while I went to sleep early with a stomach flu. Hot times in Sand Dog!

PalmerEldritch said...

Colleen knows the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep

/the romantics

elias said...

oh yeah! introduce her to my lap...top.

mb said...

you forget something elias?

mb said...

in that last post?

elias said...

;)

mb said...

...something beginning with KA...

Ralph- said...

Ben, You were making sounds. i did not hear talking, but there was definitely sounds. Sort of like a slow humming!

sorry if i did not get back to you quickly, but there is a good reason............

Ralph- said...

...LOOK WHAT I GOT TODAY---->

elias said...

- a grovelling kablamo -

I wondered what you were on about MB - some secret Pacific Northwest custom or something ;)

PalmerEldritch said...

ralph, i guess that means you won't be reading page four of The Watchmen anytime soon.

congrats on Gargantua finally coming in. enjoy!

Benjamin said...

I take comfort in the fact that I believe that Stevi is maybe reading Watchmen right now. Good on you on that Gargantua, buddy!

Humming? I can live with that. I've been known to say and do some pretty funky stuff while sleeping, so I hope I didn't cross any boundaries. Maybe that's why Cliff was looking at me so strangely on Sunday.

Ralph- said...

clif was looking at you funny becuase you were boning him all night.

stevi is reading watchmen, but she feels that graphic novels are not her cup of tea, as far as formats go. she is up to half way through.

laters!!!!

Benjamin said...

He should have been looking at me funny and walking funny, then. I can dig someone saying that the graphic novel is not their forte. But oh boy, do I love Watchmen.

mb said...

Ralph and Ben on the blog at the same time? This is rare I think. good stuff!

PalmerEldritch said...

mb, it's like when multiple Doctors team up to save Gallifrey every couple of years.

PalmerEldritch said...

*spoilers from 1973 in that last post*

[ally] said...

thanks for the ralph-like spoiler warning, palmer.

mb said...

Lol Palmer - and '83 (I think)

Belph saves the blog! (from what I'm not sure)

PalmerEldritch said...

yeah, ally, i learned from the best. in person!

i'm eagerly looking forward to the next 'Lars. ralph and ben have some funny ass stories from the 'Con.

Mattastic said...

Awesome, I love funny ASS stories. Seems like we've already heard one about Ben and Clif, and seen a pic of Ben on Ralph. I wonder what other funny ass stories there can be?

mb said...

Anyone else having trouble downloading the OLP in iTunes?

I finally got it by downloading @Steph's link.

PalmerEldritch said...

they're asstastic!

memphish said...

The iTunes link to the OLP has never worked at my house. I downloaded it straight from ABC.com. It was interesting to listen to.

Holli

Mattastic said...

Dharmalasses? That sounds like a bad morning after drinking Dharma beer and munching out on Dharma peanut butter until 3 am.

Mattastic said...

Whaddaya know, as I was trying to be funny I forgot to do this for my very first time...

[He shuffles on stage and nervously crackles]

ka-BLAMO!

Anonymous said...

Sawyer Says It Best

PalmerEldritch said...

i was really hoping that'd be a clip of Sawyer saying "Kablamo!"

Ralph- said...

she just thinks that a Collected Trade Paperback it too much for her to handle. she seemed to like the story, but i think it would suit her better in a monthly comic book format. she is a speed reader so i think the pictures actually slows down the pace she is custom to . so she is taking it slow.

Mattastic said...

Palmer,
Has Sawyer, or any Lost character, ever said kablamo?

[ally] said...

congrats on your first KABLAMO mattastic!

can't wait to hear these "funny ass stories" from con.

=D

PalmerEldritch said...

yeah, now, the pressure is on. so, they better not suck.

mattastic, i wish that they'd say kablamo on lost. that'd be great. but i don't think they have.

ben linus gasses his dad, takes off his gas mask once the gas has cleared: "kablamo."

sawyer shoots a surrendering friendly "kablamo!"

it'd be awesome. someone write Cuseloff a letter.

[ally] said...

Hurley hits someone with the HurleyBus and yells, KABLAMO!

Colleen said...

Okay, let me come out of hiding one more time to set the record straight:

1. Ben, you were making a weird ass humming noise until around umm 2 or 3am when I woke up for like a second & you were mumbling something. Ralph probably just couldn't hear it from the floor. ;) Don't feel bad though, because Clif was making this really strange breathing noise that sounded like he was somewhere between a REALLY good dream & an asthma attack.

2. Ralph, you are a saint. And a giant dork.

3. Elias - what kind of lap...top do you have?

Jay said...

Well being that i also heard Ben's musical snoring (which was brilliant) Ben, Ralph, and Clif were all making sleeping noises at once, and it was like a cacophony of dissonant beauty. I wish i had a recorder.

Plus i got you all beat, I slept with Colleen and Ralph in the same night, and rumors are true...

Ralph makes an excellent big spoon.


Jay

PalmerEldritch said...

would that make ralph a ladel?

/ladle?

mb said...

In their next scandalous podcast, the men of Dharmalars reveal the stories that happened behind closed hotel room doors.

It's ComicCon...after dark

mb said...

or perhaps

The Dharmalar Diaries

Ralph- said...

would someone tell the story of the "Baconator" and the Coffeepot for me?

FUCK IT! i will save it for the podcast!

By the way, Watchmen (page 3)
Madman (batman?) Gargantua (page 160)

see ya laters!!!

Benjamin said...

Damn, that's a lot of reading for young Ralph. Slow down, bro! Make it last!

Colleen and Jack, thanks for the comforting truth. I know I snore like a buzzsaw with a nasal infection, and as I've said I've been known to say all kinds of funky shit while sleeping. Hopefully I wasn't too much of a distraction from the main attraction. Ralph the ladle.

Jordan said...

Jebus. I'm missing all the fun here the last two days.

From the sounds of it, you guys should have left a mic on during the night @ comic con. You could've put out a joint Dharmalars/Jay&Jack/Metrobuzz "Night Sounds of Comic Con '07" podcast. I'm sure it would have been a hit. Probably would've been the next Blair Witch Project or something.

Thanks to some annoying radio & tv commercials promoting an upcoming concert at a casino in town, I've had the pleasure of having this lovely tune stuck in my head the past 3 days.

Misery loves company

Jimmy, If you're reading this. In response to your comment yesterday. I've already spoken with Ms. Aimee about things. And hopefully we'll all get a chance to meet up. That is if I can brave traffic all the way from Ballard to Fremont. Should be a grand time.

wait Colleen and Jack? what the hell Ben i thought our couple nights together were more special to you, i guess not

Jay

PalmerEldritch said...

ben, i'll trust you meant colleen and jay not colleen and jack.

i'm glad you guys couldn't hear me snoring from Chula Vista.

you should send Clif a copy of your snore symphony and see if he'll play it for us Jamcast subscribers.

i'm picking up on how to shamelessly promote.

Ralph- said...

Ben. the book is 852 pages long. i mean, this is bigger than Harry Potter and a billion times better (in ralph years). the fact that i have read as much as i have in such a short time is a major acomplishment...
i am sure Jack would agree with me there!

Colleen said...

No, he's right. Colleen and Jack. Didn't I tell you?

Jordan said...

Ralph, Be careful mentioning Baconators around Aimee. ;)

Stephanie said...

Jordan, that is one infectious tune. It takes me back to 9th grade algebra class.

Colleen said...

Jordan - Actually, we recorded our own vidcast with lots of non-Comic Con stuff, including an intro to the AD beatdown. Lots of *incriminating* stuff, let me tell you... ;)

Oh yeah and the MetroBuzz myspace has a shitload of pictures too from non-CC stuff we all did

Jay said...

Dude i wish i had a copy of the snore symphony, it would have been like the "Charles Mingus of Snoring"

damn Coll, i'm pushed to the side so soon. Thats fine i'll go snuggle with Ralph he's one cuddly ladel

mb said...

Jay - if Ben can't see how special your time together was, then it's his loss. You deserve more - just make sure Jay is taking care of Jay

(cue Dr. Phil music...)

Benjamin said...

Oh man! What a gaffe on my part. You know I meant you, Jay. Mea culpa!

PalmerEldritch said...

man, oh man. mb, that sounds like a masturbation reference if ever there was one.

PalmerEldritch said...

and, yes, all masturbation references are made better by Dr. Phil music.

International-J said...

I don't think I can even attempt to get into this conversation

mb said...

Lmao Palmer -
Well, if it helps him dull the pain of loss...whatever works

memphish said...

Hey Ralph, this is to support your coffin theory from the Jay and Jack podcast.

Holli

Jordan said...

Keeing with the theme of linking to 80's music videos on youtube, and seeing as how music master Jay has graced us with his presence, I thought I'd post these two vids. Tell me if you notice anything about the chorus on each.

Song 1

Song 2

Anonymous said...

more 80s

mb said...

Holy crap Jordan - never heard those 2 choruses back to back. That's hilarious.

Jordan said...

What's funny about it, but not surprising, is that both songs were written by the same dude, Desmond Child. If I read correctly, the songs came out just a year or so apart from each other. I think the Bonnie Tyler song came out first, but the Bon Jovi one was obviously the bigger hit. Another funny note, Desmond Child is the same guy who wrote such classics as "Livin' La Vida Loca" & "The Thong Song".

International-J said...

To let you know comment 107 wasn't so I could get the Kablamo, it was because the question I was asking was answered in comment 106

mb said...

Lmao Jordan - that doesn't surprise me. I looked at the release dates on iTunes because I would have loved to think that Bon Jovi maybe stole his big hit from Bonnie Tyler (for the humor), but it's even the same guy. I wonder if Bonnie ever had any WTF words with the guy - lol.

elias said...

lol Colleen - I was just seeing if anybody spotted my Boogie Nights quote. Can't wait for the Metrobuzz (plug) Vidcast. Did I spell Metrobuzz right?

:)

come with some alternative 80s guys

They were alternative at the time

memphish said...

I'm so old that the first REM concert I went to 10,000 Maniacs opened and no one listened to them because they sucked. It was whatever their album was BEFORE "In My Tribe." Since then I've seen REM at least 3 more times, but not in the 21st Century. Man, that sucks.

I just reposted the SaS episodes again on the boards. Let me know if you have any trouble downloading them.

Holli - I forgot you used to see them in the clubs, right? You lucky, lucky...

"In My Tribe" was the first album I ever bought on CD. I liked that album - I'm trying to think if I've ever heard the previous album.

PalmerEldritch said...

mb, it's like when multiple Doctors team up to save Gallifrey every couple of years.

PalmerEldritch also said...

*spoilers from 1973 in that last post*

MB said...

Lol Palmer - and '83 (I think)

I say:

Both correct (although the first one actually started two days before 1973).

There was also one in 1985 - the odd choice of sticking Doc 2 and 6 together in a massive smack of arrogance and calling it The Two Doctors.

Why do I do this to myself? Or to you?

Stephanie said...

It must have been after '95 when I saw REM live. They were on the way to being has-beens. Not a great show but they'll always be one of my favorite bands.

Johnny Ghostwatch said...

Also - FutureAlly's MYOKoM reposts have already been picked clean of their 100 downloads.

All the time you're trying to get those podcasts distributed, the forum really should be altered so only members can read it. Bit snooty, but clearly there are some podcast vultures circling about ready to pick the juicy nuggets off the site without any kind of interaction or involvement.

PalmerEldritch said...

yeah, i wants me some SAS podcasts.

Jordan said...

I ate a Baconator for the first time today. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it through the night.

Ralph, I got Crank on bluray in the mail today. I just started watching it. Holy shit, it looks awesome. You were totally right.

Regarding what Ghostwatch said. In the future, people should use Megaupload.com for uploading the podcasts. To my knowledge there is no download limits.

mb said...

Holy shit those downloads went fast! I didn't realize the demand for the Podfathers. I couldn't grab them when Ally uploaded them, and now I just got home and they're gone. Wow and dammit! Ghost's idea is good for limiting the downloads, or can the iTunes idea be re-explored?

I'm actually not jones-ing adn trying to pressure, just thinking of what might work best.

mb said...

Good one Jordan. On their FAQ page it says you can "send your file to multiple recipients (up to 1000)" - do you know if that would that be a max # of downloads? I'm new at the free-hostng/sharing thing.

mb said...

I was also looking at Rapidshare.com and, if I'm reading it right, it looks like there's no limit on how long they will host the file, but they have a limit on how many MB per hour a free user can download - but I can't find where it says exactly what that limit is (grrrr :(
Still looking...

mb said...

Sorry! Forgot to link:

Rapidshare.com

mb said...

And

megauploads.org

Jordan said...

MB, I've used a bunch of different file hosting services. And to this point, megaupload.com is the best. It doesn't limit how many downloads there are or how much a single user downloads during a certain period of time.

Chris JC said...

On the boards - you could just let people know you have another one available and ask for a Private Message?

memphish said...

I've posted 4 SAS episodes on the board using megauploads.com Someone try them out and let me know how it works. I thought I was doing what Jordan wanted, but he was recommending .org. Who knew. Still, the way I read megauploads.com it lets me host a fair amount and it says there are unlimited downloads for 90 days. Well I guess we'll see.

Holli

P.S. One downside is upload times are pretty long. I hope download won't be too.

memphish said...

I've now posted the 7 SAS episodes I had gotten earlier this week on megauploads.com and the links are posted on the board.

I had:

Get Lost with Scott and Steve
Everybody Hates Hugo
Get Lost . . . and Found
Adrift Re-Run
Another Re-Run pt. 1
Another Re-Run pt. 2
The Hunting Party

Happy downloading. Let me know how it works for you.

PalmerEldritch said...

hey, blogspotica. wassup this weekend?

mb said...

Home repair and prep to sell Palmer - fun, fun stuff ;) w00t!

Holli - thanks for posting the episodes. So far, megauploads is a beauty!

Jordan said...

Holli, Megaupload.com. Singular, not plural. Try that. I have stuff on that site that I uploaded last year that is still up. I have no clue what megauploads or anything .org is.

memphish said...

For anyone still having problem with downloads, check my latest post in that thread to get links to FAQs that may help.

Holli

P.S. Ralph, we'll clean the thread up soon. Promise.

Stephanie said...

Oh, working, p. What cha up to this weekend?
mb, are you about to sell your house? Good luck.
Thanks Holli for the downloads.
The Hunting Party- my favorite episode of season two. Good SAS too.

Stephanie said...

I wish Satan would call Dharmalars or TLI.

Stephanie said...

Aimee in Little Rock got a promotion. Yay, good for her.

Promoted to what?

PalmerEldritch said...

i am doing jack shit this weekend. it's terrific. ok, we have to go shopping for a wedding gift tomorrow. but other than that it's just time to relax.

downloading a crapload of Demos on the PS3 too.

MB, selling to get a bigger house? with room for The Deuce?

mb said...

Steph and Palmer -
You are correct - the Deuce is coming and we must be prepared. Time to grow again! :)

Jordan - you are correct on that address, my apologies b4 - it IS megaupload.com
NOT megauploads.org - the .org site is a DIFFERENT free hosting service.

holli, just set the DVR. :)

hope it doesnt suck.

Stephanie said...

This one does. I hope TOQ's doesn't.

memphish said...

A quick review of Ep 1 of Masters of Science Fiction -- essentially it was a 2 person morality play intended to be viewed by George Bush and Dick Cheney. It could have just as easily been set in 500 BC Greece as any date in the future.

BUT the preview for next week with TOQ looks much more Sci Fi and it has the cigarette smoking man from X-Files as well.

So unless you're bored, skip this one and keep the DVR set for next week.

Stephanie said...

I didn't gogle but google.

memphish said...

DarkUFO has some scans from the LOST magazine. The article with Evangeline Lilly is pretty Skate-y. You have been warned. But the end of it talks about the rattlesnake scene and the questions she asked to know how to play it and then it shows the actual script of the scene. I found that pretty interesting.

I noticed Jack says that they both got those gold tickets which obviously begs the question Why Isn't Future Kate Behind Bars.

Holli

PalmerEldritch said...

holli, i reckon that kate and jack must have gotten some sweet deal (including golden tickets and kate's record wiped) in exchange for keeping what can only be called "The Secret of JizzIsland."

whether from Dharma, the US gov't, Widdemore, Hanso, or Mr Cluck's, i got no idea.

heck, maybe part of jack's deal with them is that kate gets to come home and her record is cleared. that seems like something that jack would do.

/only 3 years til we know!

memphish said...

And only 6 months until we know anything! Can you believe it's only been 2 months without LOST? Aaarrrgghhh!!!!!

Holli

PalmerEldritch said...

it wouldn't be too bad if the season 3 dvds came out in september or something. but we have to wait til mid-december. blech!

/will buy the dvds
//wants the blu-ray version

[ally] said...

Wow! So the new uploads from Friday didn't last long? I guess that's what happens when you're giving away classics or pieces of history. Everybody wants a piece of the Podfathers. Thanks, Holli for reposting them, let me know if you need any help posting the other episodes. I hope everyone had a good weekend.

...so it's only been 2 months without Lost? It feels like it's been longer.

memphish said...

Ally, I think I got all the ones you had uploaded onto megaupload. I still don't have Collision which Ralph posted last week, and Elias has a running list of what else is missing in the thread.

It appeared as I tried to download from goofball yesterday that you get 3 downloads a day with a free megaupload registration, but you have to wait some amount of time between them.

Hopefully over the next week/s we'll all be able to get everything we want.

Did anybody see Bourne this weekend?

Elias, is that everywhere or just in GB?

Is there another thread that I just can't see? Or is it just an extreeeemelyy slow blogspot day?

PalmerEldritch said...

extreeeeeeeeeeeeemely slow, indeed.

or, as a Northeasterner, wicked slow.

red card to people who can't park their big trucks. have a giant truck? that's fine. can't park your giant truck correctly? red card!

just cuz you wanted a Monster Truck doesn't mean that you can take up more than one parking spot. other people have to park here too, dumbass. so, either learn to park within the lines, or go buy a mini-coop.

elias said...

I think it's just in the UK Steph but I could be wrong.

It was something we all needed reminding about on a monday morning (!) - about 3 days late ;)

memphish said...

I was able to download one of Ally's files uploaded to megaupload. That sentence was a load-full.

Was there not a SAS episode for Abandoned? That should have come between Another Re-Run Pt. 2 and The Other 48 days.

Holli

P.S. I also was able to download the rapidshare file.

[ally] said...

I have abandoned, Holli, I'll upload it when I get a chance.

Elias-
I'll try to upload them on rapidshare as well, so you're not left out.

memphish said...

I got 3 of Ally's megaupload files and now it says to wait 5 hours before I can download again. Thanks for Abandoned Ally. I'll look forward to getting it.

[ally] said...

I'm trying to upload the remaining files to rapidshare to see if that works better. So hopefully you can get them there, Holli.

[ally] said...

I have posted Abandoned, Bonus Call-In Show and Fire + Water on the boards. I will let y'all know when I post the rest.

mb said...

AHHHH!

I can finally shed my shame of not owning a Dhamalars T - it finally came today! w00t!

Palmer - TOTALY 2nd the red card on misparked monster trucks. Not sure if it's lack of ability or lack of giving a crap, but it does amaze me how often I see that in jam packed lots. - rant over -

it is indeed slow today.

[ally] said...

congrats on being the proud owner of a dharmalars t-shirt, mb.

mb said...

Thanks Ally!

[ally] said...

just posted a bunch of SaS podcasts on the boards. let me know if i missed any. i believe elias posted some up as well.

memphish said...

EW has an interview with the guy who's in the picture below this post. Don't look at that picture if you don't want to be spoiled. You have been warned Mr./Ms. Anonymous.

Holli,

Good article. I'm looking forward to him coming back.

How do you think the writers would have worked Michael into the finale if Harold Perrineau had come back then?

PalmerEldritch said...

holli, thanks for that article. interesting stuff.

em&em, i imagine that Michael would have been on the boat in the finale. something like that. or maybe they'd have had an open casket at the funeral home. :)

memphish said...

I thought they wanted Michael to be in the coffin in the funeral home. Why HP couldn't get off his rear and film that, I don't know, but it's more fun to speculate about who's in the coffin that to know anyways.

Holli

memphish said...

So now it looks like Rapid Share is making me wait 2 hours between each download. I've gotten everything from MegaUpload now. Only a day or two more and I'll have an iPod full of SAS.

And thanks Ally for all your work uploading those.

Holli

Em&Em said...

Seeing him on that boat would have been cool. I guess that would be a good way to start off season 4.

If they had shown him in the coffin, it would have been shocking. I wonder why Walt wasn't at the funeral home. That's the only thing that makes me think it's not Michael. I guess Walt could be anywhere though at that point.

memphish said...

I think the reason Walt wasn't there is that he's back in New York or something, maybe with his grandma. The funeral director tells Jack that this isn't the funeral, just a viewing or something like that which leaves room for there to be another, better attended service.

Not quite as good as Locke, but close.

Holli

Em&Em said...

That is quite a fall! That's amazing that that guy got away with practically no injuries.

Walt being with his grandmother does make sense. I wonder if we'll ever get to know who is in the coffin definitively.

PalmerEldritch said...

maybe Walt's not at the viewing cuz he doesnt like his dad.

in fact, maybe Walt is mad at his dad cuz he took him from the Island? maybe he's mad cuz his dad killed two people and betrayed the Lostaways to get him off the Island? maybe Walt's mad cuz Michael betrays the Lostaways again?

maybe Walt's mad cuz they left without his dog?

memphish said...

Maybe Walt's mad because Michael constantly refers to him as "my boy" or can't manage to pronounce his name without screaming and adding a bunch of aaaaaas in the middle.

Maybe Walt's mad because he's been grounded.

Maybe Walt's mad because Michael bought him a Wii when he wanted the PS3.

Maybe Walt's mad because hey that's what teenagers do.

Maybe Walt's not there because he's teleported himself back to the Island and while he was at it decided to make himself taller, but failed to bring along a different shirt.

memphish said...

I've got some Michael and Walt stuff on my blog today as well if anyone wants to chime in.

memphish said...

While setting the DVR to tape Flash Gordon on Friday I just saw Rousseau on an episode of Night Stalker, and it looks like she's the bad guy because she has the victim's necklace.

[ally] said...

I don't think I've ever read the words "Maybe Walt" so many times.

[ally] said...

The other day I was flipping through the channels when I passed up one of those religious channels. They had a movie about Jesus, Jesus was being played by Desmond!

PalmerEldritch said...

holli, that's awesome that you are checking out Flash Gordon. i'm really hoping that it's good but i have a terrible feeling that it'll be mediocre at best. here's hoping!

PalmerEldritch said...

so, ally, jesus was scottish? maybe that's why they kilt him?

/i'm so sorry
//but i had to

[ally] said...

lol, palmer. yeah he sure did have a scottish accent, which was weird for Jesus. and he looked exactly like desmond, long hair and beard, except he had more clothes on.

memphish said...

I think from an physical accuracy standpoint Sayid would have been better casting, as long as Naveen didn't use his real accent. It's atrocious.

Yeah Palmer, I'm going to give FG a go. Getting in on the ground floor so to speak. I'm willing to give a couple of weeks. After all, there's still nothing on broadcast TV until late Sept., Masters of Sci Fi notwithstanding.

I like Naveen's real accent - maybe it's a little bit thespian but it's undeniably West London.

andrew. said...

i'm definitely off my game, i managed to post in the wrong thread.
did i miss anything?

PalmerEldritch said...

Naveen is of Indian descent, right?

Let's go with someone who's actually Middle-Eastern (Southeast Asian?) or, gasp!, Jewish to play Jesus.

SASCHA BARON COHEN FOR JEEBUS!

memphish said...

At least he wouldn't break character. Scary to think there's going to be a little Sacha running around soon.

Holli

P.S. Make sure to check out the Superbad clip I posted on the Movies Anticipated Thread, and watch all the way to the end.

P.P.S. It's hotter than hell in Memphis this week. (This keeps with the Jesus theme of the recent posts.)

[ally] said...

i know what you mean, Holli. it's pretty damned hot over here too, i just got back from outside and i thought my skin was gonna melt off. surprisingly it's only 93 degrees, it feels a hell of a lot hotter out there.

and about the jesus thing, although the accent was off, he at least looked a lot like every other movie jesus.

[ally] said...

like i said, he looks just like desmond with more clothes on.

the scottish jesus

elias said...

Willem Dafoe was the best actor to play Jesus but it wasn't the Bible Jesus.

PalmerEldritch said...

i haven't even seen the movie and i know my favorite Jesus.

mb said...

the afternoon blog slowdown...

Perhaps the blog is in need of
some of these

Anonymous said...

Palmer, that kilt joke has to be the worst joke in the history of this blogspot. Mind you all the lame jokes from Ben.

Holli, I liked you Wii-PS3 reason for Walt being pissed at Mikey.

If it ends up being Michael in the casket, that will be the most anti-climatic answer in the history of this show. That is unless over the next couple seasons Michael is built up as the biggest bestest hero of Lost island ever.

I agree on Naveen Andrews having one of those annoying "look how proper I am" British accents.

[ally] said...

ok mb, you could've warned on the us on the picture. it was like, BAM! there it is.
