Oh yeah, I hadn't thought about the Hatch. From the finale, I reckon it's more metaphoric than anything. Locke mentions Pandora's Box, and I think that might be pretty close to right.
Big spoilers for the rest of the season:
EDIT: non-spoilers for Shady:
They're definitely not dead. The creators have said so. I reckon the people have been "chosen" by the island because they're all in need of redemption.
The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings was a bloody good send-off, although something more in line with the rest of the series would be pretty cool too. But I reckon when it comes down to it, 80-odd episodes is plenty for me.
Regarding the seperation of the judiciary from the other two arms of government, who appoints High Court judges if not for the government? Should the people do it like the US does with its DAs? That would just create even more, and potentially greater, problems.
Our democracy works pretty...
WTF? I'm with NTB, this isn't news, and it wasn't all that funny. Some guy squirted water on a celebrity (it actually looked like he was spat on) and the celebrity put them in their place. That's Channel 10 news at best. So please, fuck right off.
Yeah I know, but there were a couple of posts on the first page saying things long the lines of "they're cool, I like 2 songs of their album", which is just stupid.
There's a big difference between "OMGzzz GREEN DAYS IS LIKE MY FAVOURITSTE BAND!!1!!! I <3 THEM!!1!" and saying "I know/like a couple of their songs". If I only knew three or four out of maybe 100 songs, I wouldn't say that a band was my favourite.
Exactly - case in point, the gay marriage thing. The majority of opposition for gay marriage comes from a Christian point of view. Howard's "marriage is for making babies" was a thinly veiled "the Bible says it's wrong". Sorry, didn't want to get into that debate again, I just thought I'd agree...
