I think Fringe took a little while to settle into itself. The beginning of the series was a lot of stuff thrown at the wall. Now it is building its mythos at a steadier pace.

All right this is on with at least a few folks already confirmed.

The DVDs are waiting on my desk.

the first 7 episodes of Lost Season 4

My LOST Season 5 countdown widget on my desktop says there are 7 days, 18 hours, and 14 minutes until the premiere.

wow, didnt realize this will be TWO new episodes that night.

7pm recap

I've been trying to keep the new season a secret from my Lost-boner, but it's totally awake now and knows it's next week... and it HURTS!

LOST BALLS

my theory needs to be highlighted:

so, the island moved. islands totally don't vanish and relocate, nor do they emit earth-shaking levels of electro-magnetic radiation. i really think the island is an ancient alien spaceship. whether through the use of advanced terra-forming, or just from the natural course of thousands of years of organic growth, the spaceship could have grown all of the jungle vegetation all over it. but since mountains take millions of years, i'd lean towards the terra-forming idea.

Either way, some island phenomena just seem like extra-terrestrial technology at work-- like the smoke monster. It's a robot, it's a flying machine, it's a black cloud, it's a mind-reader, it's a surveillance camera, it's a killer. That just seems like something aliens made, at least to me.

Then there's the whole fountain of youth thing. Richard Alpert might be a legit E.T. astronaut person, which is why he doesn't age. Then there's Jacob, who could also be an alien who is so old that he had to lose his corporeal shell and exist as some kind of a spectral sentience.

Also, Ben space-time-jumped from the lower Pacific to a desert in Tatooine, I mean Tunisia. Deep space travel, which is what this island spaceship was probably up to since before human civilization, theoretically needs some space-fabric-bending technology in order to make some inconceivable inter-galactic distances possible.

I think that in the final episode of season 4, Ben busted a hole in the Dharma time machine (by the way, in my theory, Dharma people are totally human, and they were passionately curious--and well-funded by Hanso-- about the island's powers, but their potential for exploiting the spaceship put the aliens--aka "the hostiles"--on the defense, and for that matter, I think most of the "hostiles" are just humans recruited by alpha alien Richard Alpert, to help protect and maintain the island) to reach an actual room of the spaceship, rather than a room of the Dharma Initiative. From that room Ben actually speaks to Jacob, which is something he never did in his campsites or Dharma stations.

In short, I think the island is a spaceship.

So guys... Thoughts? Favorite parts? Favorite lines?

Where we supposed to recognize the woman in the final scene of the second episode? (She of the hood and the equations and the Focoults pendulum in the basement of the church?) Its been a while since I saw anything Lost related and I could not place her, although I thought I was supposed to be able to.

I totally knew who she was and what her presence meant to the show, the series and the rest of my life.

It's so sweet that Des and Penny named their boy after Penny's father!

Cruel, cruel coincidence ...
