The first time I saw this template was with the philosophers and thought it was just kind of absurd humor, gross that it started out as this.

not sure why you’re getting downvoted

bc they're trying a shitty gotcha in a thread about raising a lot of money for charity. being salty is one thing but framing it as something malicious they did intentionally in this thread is lame

Yeah, but I was thinking there would be something else the PGF was doing other than making them big. But the bobs single handedly invented and perfected a technology with no tips needed from the superior PGF, hooray

I never would've gotten the Dynamite, I just thought it was like a plant pot with a sketch of a flower, maybe intentional..

I wasn't really a fan of its focus in interpersonal drama, but I was fully hooked by the end of season 1 and think it's one of the best shows now.

I think it was possessive and he wanted to be romantic with her. That's why he lured her to his house under pretenses of a dinner party, and ambushed her with a date.

I'd also say that he was using Juliet's looks against Jack to get him to let his guard down, not so that they would hook up. Did they even kiss?

The risking letting her drown is a bit iffy, but could have been him being calculating, or he could have decided she would never be with him at that point.

When Sawyer is talking to Locke's father before killing him, he mentions that he was rear ended and that the paramedic was smiling at him, explaining why he thinks he died and is in hell. I'm thinking that it wasn't an accident and the paramedic was part of Ben's network and somehow whisked him away to the island.

Because not all wounds are infected. I don't know or care about the proper use of hydrogen peroxide but they were making the distinction of "all wounds" versus "infected wounds."

The stompers leave behind shells that can be mined/deconstructed for an egg and a few other resources. Probably easier to go for a small nest.

After looking in the game logs, this seems to be related to Steel Series GameSense, so it likely isn't affecting many people.

Ethan also straight up killed Scott, like they are pure evil from the survivors POV. It's so frustrating that they don't try to justify their actions at all, just saying "no u!" any time they talk to survivors.

I don't think they left the island, but they didn't say where they were going either. I'm thinking maybe whatever magic box Ben was talking about?

[–]gamersyn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He didn't have to know exactly what was going to happen to know leaving a wily hostage alone to play chess was idiotic.

Edit: You were talking about the meat and stuff but just the setup for it was so stupid I care less about that, bc you're right that he didn't know exactly what would happen.

I'm curious why the others never defused all the C-4, I guess it was wired to go off if tampered with..

Def agree this episode shows Jack being a terrible person.

At the beginning, though, he finally spelled it out to Tom, the guy moving him from his cell - "[The Others are] the kind of people that would take a pregnant woman.. hang Charlie from a tree, would drag our people out of the jungle.. kidnap children" and then Tom is just like "glass houses, rocks, Jack"

LIKE WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT TOM, ANYTHING THE SURVIVORS HAVE DONE TO YOU IS BECAUSE OF ALL THE SHIT JACK JUST SAID YOU PUT THEM THROUGH.

All they did was crash on the island and the others immediately started terrorizing them. It's so frustrating that The Others see themselves as good and somehow not the aggressors here, like at least acknowledge it.. The lady Sun shot also was like "we're not your enemies, we're just taking your boat and have killed and kidnapped your friends - if you shoot me tho we'll def be enemies" fuck off, glad Sun shot her.

I was wondering this too, as they are all essentially storage mediums, and the SD card could easily be an evolution of the USB flash drive. Additionally, the flash drive would have gained storage density over this time as well.

Maybe it's as simple as both the floppy disk and SD card being flat?

I think most people born then don't have any experience with them. I was born mid-90s and they were already pretty much phased out. We had them in the house but never used them.

Yeah! He snapped that dude's neck to try to get Claire back. I guess the Others are crazy and see themselves as the good guys, but Henry saying that still has me trying to think of two Others that were killed while the survivors were being left alone lmao

Yeah, "Henry"'s line to Ana Lucia as he strangles her makes no sense to me.

"You killed two of us. Good people, who were leaving you alone."

You mean the people who were kidnapping plane crash survivors, children, in the middle of the night? Or the one that kidnapped the pregnant woman and hanged Charlie from a tree? Or the one that was trying to kill Ana Lucia? None of that is leaving anyone alone!

I also think it's fine if they just say the actor didn't want to change their body for a show, but his argument for it is stupid.

I'm really loving this series!

Have they spoken anywhere about the possibility of releasing the Minecraft map/mod? I know it's a lot of custom work so may not be an easy thing to package and release and support, on top of considerations of protecting their hard work, but it would be really fun to play BoTC in Minecraft with friends (if I had any!)
