  4. Ladies,
    I'm not too worried about NYC surviving your visit, but Watch Out Men in Kilts!

  5. Oh you KNOW IT JaneEllen!!! Watch out, inDEED. All I'll have to hear is a Scottish accent and it will be all over. The poor bugger won't know what hit him. I'll be all "pleaseeeee say "sassenach" for me!" and he'll be like "Um, can I go back to my family at the table now? I was just trying to come back from the bathroom."

  6. ESPECIALLY if he has red hair! ;) Oh, and Carol, I just watched last week's Lost (the submarine one), and I AM DEVASTATED. AAAAHHHHH. Please share your thoughts, but don't give anything away from this week's episode since I haven't watched it yet!

  8. No info yet, unfortunately. We all bought the weekend pass--it's not that much more $$ than the day pass, and you never know who might show up at CC on any given day....

  9. Sirena I'm so excited you're coming. That is going to be a FUN weekend. Everyone else - throw caution to the wind - put on your kilt and COME TO COMICCON!

    SPOILER ALERT FOR LOST - Dinna read if you haven't seen the last two LOST episodes. Jo M - I won't say anything about this week's... but wow - last week's was upsetting. And I'm sure it's going to continue on like that until the end. BUT - I think it's good. I think everyone on the island is in PURGATORY (love that word) and they all need to die in order to move on in real life. I really think that. And WHERE IS DESMOND??? A LOST without Desmond is like a day without sunshine. Just a bummer ALL AROUND, Brotha!!

  10. LOST SPOILER!!!
    "A Lost without Desmond is like a day without sunshine"--or two years without a new Outlander novel ;) He's in the well; remember Sayid gave Jack instructions for rescuing him before he ran with the bomb. I'm very glad Sayid was able to redeem himself (which is a HUGE theme on lost), but was very sad he had to die. I can't even THINK about the whole Sun/Jin thing.

    I read a very disturbing theory that Jack would be the only one of the Oceanic Six to survive and would take over guardianship of the island. All I have to say to that is, NOT WITHOUT KATE!!!!! I'll update you after I watch this week's episode.

    P.S. I can't decide if it is the worst or best birthday present ever that the Lost finale is happening on my birthday. And apparently the finale event is now 5 1/2 hours long!

  11. LOST SPOILER BELOW!

    5 1/2 hours long?!? WHAT??? How are they going to do THAT??? Isn't it weird that Jack wants to stay on the island? He was the one who was so hell-bent on getting OFF the island. WTF??? Looking forward to more discussion after you watch this past week's. :)

  12. Woo hoo! I will probably take a break from grading (I've graded 14 research papers today and have to grade 60 more by Wednesday. Yes, I am insane (a.k.a. an English teacher)!) I will post ASAP after watching!

  13. LOST SPOILER-

    Holy Crapola! What an intense episode! And how creepy was Jacob's/brother with no name (no WONDER he had a complex!)'s mother??!! Talk about Mommy dearest...

    Do you think we're supposed to parallel the brothers to Jacob and Esau? And I kind of knew the dark brother would become the smoke monster (the whole light/Jacob, dark/unnamed brother was a bit more obvious than what Lost usually does, but I thought it was a nice touch).

    Finally, is there a connection to Desmond ("goodbye, brother...goodbye)? Hmmm.....and who doesn't love a good flashback that involves Jack with no shirt on? ;) It's been so long since a real flashback that it almost seemed out of place! Okay, that's all (except how cool would it be if DG Herself liked Lost? Alright, I'll stop obsessing now...)

  14. I have a playlist suggestion: I just heard Death Cab for Cutie's "Passenger Seat", and I immediately thought of Brianna and Roger! Just a thought!

  15. LOST spoiler below!~

    Jo M you are in good company in your obsession. We went to the boardwalk today and there is a fun house... and inside there is a section that has this mad scientist laboratory... and all these lights are flashing and a warning alarm is sounding... and I'm yelling "THE NUMBERS! WHO HAS THE NUMBERS?! WHERE IS DESMOND?!?"

    LOVE your thinking about Goodbye, Brotha, goodbye. Yo think that means something? I never pick up on this stuff (maybe because I'm too busy drooling over Desmond). I just truly have no idea what's going to happen. Jacob and his brother freaked me out. I felt SO BAD for their mother... and that woman who killed her and raised them was a complete creepfest (even if she was looking out for their best interest?)

    I'll have to listen to that DCfC song. I love them. They're on my New Moon playlist, too...and when I found out they'd be on the soundtrack I was all "that's right... I'm bad... I called it.."
