[Lostitute]

First post. And Scrubs is still on. Hmm...

[RadioDave]

Is this the season or series finale of Scrubs?

[snakey]

Oh Tute, on Wednesday we suspend self control as well as belief. It's all good.

[LOSTForever]

First post. And Scrubs is still on. Hmm...
This has to be the longest ending ever!

[Captain]

It's on!

[Lostitute]

Maybe. I haven't watched Scrubs in a while.'

Yay! "Previously...on LOST!" :yayconfet:

Oh Tute, on Wednesday we suspend self control as well as belief. It's all good.

Sorry, snakey...I lost my self-control ages ago. Maybe I'll look for it later. ;)

[Captain]

WOw the replay

[joedeelee71]

I still think there is no way Daniel did this without knowing.

It's all part of a bigger plan.

[wandering_aimlessly]

I have severe thunderstorms and a tornado warning here, and my satellite signal keeps cutting in and out. AAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

[Waltisthekey]

Another Lost night!

[Captain]

THATS how jack got the bloody face

[Thomas Hobbes]

Whee! So glad I made it.

[Captain]

So this means Eloise remember Jack and Kate?

[RadioDave]

Nice hairdo Mr Widmore

[LoonyLuna]

daniel's dead body just kills me inside.

[Diamondduste]

Hmmm....

I wonder if Richard is building a Black Rock in a bottle....

[snakey]

This Widmore has a different accent, not like young Charles. Didnt that feel good to see Jack get the butt of the gun, for some reason I enjoyed watching that again.

[Bren Keller]

"Something's different about you"...yeah, he's dead!

[Captain]

WTF!

[Waltisthekey]

I can't believe they are dead!

[brdmom]

Great, great beginning!

[joedeelee71]

Like... Richard watched them die in the 1992 purge? Or something else?

[turok4n64]

I loved how RA was playing with the replica Black Rock

[blaze98]

I am guessing Eloise knew so much about the future because she kept Daniels journal after he died

[Dew]

:hyper: And so it begins. :D

[Diamondduste]

Like... Richard watched them die in the 1992 purge? Or something else?

I think he's foreshadowing to what looks to be the attempt to detonate Jughead.

It also looks like the cliffhanger we'll be getting next week.

[Lostitute]

Hmmm....

I wonder if Richard is building a Black Rock in a bottle....

Exactly what I was thinkin', DD. Strange that everyone's on the beach, lookin' ragged, 'cept for Richard, who seems to have time to build the ship in the bottle.

I can't believe they are dead!

Like... Richard watched them die in the 1992 purge? Or something else?

I won't believe they're all dead just yet. Not until the last epi of Season 6.

Great, great beginning!

Yeah! Excellent!

[RadioDave]

Like... Richard watched them die in the 1992 purge? Or something else?

Once again TPTB leave it vague for us to ponder. Does he remember the DI in general dying... or does he remember Jack, Kate, etc specifically? Despite my loathing of the O6 storylines.. I actually hope its the DI in general.

[Bren Keller]

O man. Poor Sun.

[lostislander]

I totally missed everything until the girl ran up to RA and said Lock was back.....someone help!!!:mad:

[snakey]

That man is just one hunk of burning love, I think he's Cuban but he looks like men from the southern Iberian area, that darkness. I mean Nestor/Richard of course

[wandering_aimlessly]

yay! got my picture back!

[brdmom]

I'm loving the confident, used-to-be dead, Locke!

[joedeelee71]

Interesting that this title is called "Follow the Leader", and you have Locke, Ben and Richard walking off together. Who is the real leader?

[Diamondduste]

Jack must be forgetting the fact that Kate really has no reason to go back to her life before 815 crashed.

[wandering_aimlessly]

Like Kate wants things to go back to the way they were... she's looking at life in the pokey

[Dew]

Jack is a jerk. That's it.

[Captain]

This is so weird seeing clueless Eloise

[Diamondduste]

Kate with the early line of the night candidate!

[Dew]

ROFL Kate He thinks he does. She is so right on the money. Jack thinks he has the answers to TT? :rofl1:

[Diamondduste]

Nice...

Jughead is under DHARMA-ville.

[snakey]

Radzinsky will def get his.

[joedeelee71]

Wait! Jughead ISN'T buried where the hatch is???

It's under the Dharma Initiative?

I am so confused...

[Captain]

Oo Radzinsky's in charge now- RUN

[RadioDave]

Hey everybody... it's Captain Bag O'Douche! Heeeeeeeere's Radzinsky!

[wandering_aimlessly]

every day in every way I hate Radzinsky more and more

[Dew]

Where is a firestarter when you need one? ;)

[snakey]

I'm thinking a rocking Smokie type death for Rad.

[Greg Gregson]

Where is Sayid when he is needed?

[Diamondduste]

Wait! Jughead ISN'T buried where the hatch is???

It's under the Dharma Initiative?

I am so confused...

No... the concrete for the hatch was to contain the EM-energy down there... not Jughead itself.

Here's a crazy theory to consider - if Jughead hasn't been detonated before, there's your reason for the fertility problems on the island.

[wandering_aimlessly]

if jughead is buried under the village, how the hell are they going to get it to the swan to detonate it in, what, 6 hours???

[Thomas Hobbes]

Agh! I made the mistake of trying to live chat this epi on the forums, then found out some people don't have the same air time. Anyway, I'm back here now.

[Thomas Hobbes]

Is jughead in the shadow, or is that the orchid? do we have a proposed answer on that one yet?

[Captain]

we still don't know

[RadioDave]

Where is a firestarter when you need one? ;)
:rotfl: Now that's a joke that's really on the Fringe of comedy!

[noop]

Radzinsky is such a great character.

[LoonyLuna]

ugh part of me wishes their plan will work so dan never dies but..in the land of tv..we know it never will. sigh. they'll probably just end up CAUSING the incident as opposed to preventing it.

[LOST lunatic]

So Jack thinks Kate wants to go back to being handcuffed on the plane? Methinks they don't all have the same agenda now.

[Lostitute]

Like Kate wants things to go back to the way they were... she's looking at life in the pokey

Perhaps.

Or maybe, if by doing what Daniel said, maybe none of the events that lead to any of the Losties boarding Flight 815 in September 2004 will ever occur. Maybe some of 'em won't even exist. Change one thing about the past, and it could have major repercussions (butterfly effect).

Oops...show's back on.

[Captain]

PHIL! OMG

[Diamondduste]

Whoa...

Dude just totally signed his death-certificate.

[Thomas Hobbes]

"The Dharma Initiative does not torture"....

[joedeelee71]

Aww not Hurley!

[wandering_aimlessly]

The fat guy?? How rude!

[snakey]

food is the guitar case?

[Captain]

Yay Dr Chang

[Thomas Hobbes]

I pray that Hugo will kill someone with a giant jar of Dharma ranch. That would be so killer.

[wandering_aimlessly]

Hurley! Bwaa haa haa

[Greg Gregson]

Hurley: "Alright Dude, We're from the future" :)


Right Answers:

36 : Actual Age of Hurley ( Jorge Garcia born 4-28-73)

June 1950- July 1953: Dates of the Korean War ( Jin would know that
info!)

Jimmy Carter: President of the United States (1977-1981)

[Thomas Hobbes]

We asked you first! Hurley rocks. And Hurley sucks at lying.

[Captain]

Evacuation!

[wandering_aimlessly]

Daddy! Son!!

[Diamondduste]

Good to see Dr. Chang coming through and allowing Miles to get some closure with him.

[Thomas Hobbes]

He's been right about everything so far... is this a giant long con or something else?

[Captain]

SHe's already pregnant! wow

[Thomas Hobbes]

Oh Shiz! Someone the others back in the day finally recognized Faraday! Why not? Why not someone else?

[Lostitute]

Charles had his hand on Ellie's stomach. Is she pregnant with Daniel? Too freaky if she is.

[wandering_aimlessly]

Richard's just everywhere tonight, isn't he?

[Thomas Hobbes]

I need a commercial to get my DVR sped up to the rest of these comments

[Diamondduste]

Love it!

Locke told Richard about it all.

[Captain]

Whhhooooooaaa

[Thomas Hobbes]

Richard's just everywhere tonight, isn't he?
Awesome, and so true. Do the hostiles like jacob a la ben?

[wandering_aimlessly]

Locke is predicting his own future. This is SO FREAKING COOL!!!!!!

[Captain]

wait I'm confused though....

[Thomas Hobbes]

Holy Shiz! Locke saved himself!!!!!! Wow.

[blaze98]

whoa

[RadioDave]

:locke:Specifically the undead version

[Captain]

So Locke, Sawyer, Juliet & co DID go into the future that one time

[scifimama]

ZOMG! My mind just boggled sideways.

I'd say Locke has come into his own now, at long last.

My brain hurts.

[wandering_aimlessly]

It is brilliant the way all of this stuff in the past and in the future is coming together.

I guarantee no other TV show ever has had this much thought go into the story timeline or the writing.

[LOST lunatic]

Uhhhhhh......huh? How can Locke be there twice??????????

[Captain]

It is brilliant the way all of this stuff in the past and in the future is coming together.

I guarantee no other TV show ever has had this much thought go into the story timeline or the writing.


Agreed :Cheers:

[Diamondduste]

So Locke, Sawyer, Juliet & co DID go into the future that one time

Yeah... it was confirmed by the presence of the Ajira water bottles... meaning they were shot at by the "Shadow of the Statue" people.

[thatbutton]

Charles had his hand on Ellie's stomach. Is she pregnant with Daniel? Too freaky if she is.

If so, isn't she like 40 now? She definitely doesn't look it, but she said she was 17 in 1954, right?

[brdmom]

This episode is so awesome!! So, did LOCKE decide everyone had to come back and not the island?? I love confused Ben- "What plane?" "Who is that man?" First time since we've seen him that he's not lying!

[Stujoe]

I love the Hurley scene about the President. Great reference to when they first showed up in that time.

[RadioDave]

Uhhhhhh......huh? How can Locke be there twice??????????

The same way Marty McFly watched himself run away from the terrorists in Back to the Future.

[joedeelee71]

How did Locke know the time?

[Captain]

If so, isn't she like 40 now? She definitely doesn't look it, but she said she was 17 in 1954, right?


Well she is older than the average parent having their kid at 25-30

[scifimama]

Uhhhhhh......huh? How can Locke be there twice??????????

I think of it like a string being looped around, or coiled on itself. There are overlapping points, but you age as you are drawn along the length of the string.

Did that make sense? It makes a visual that I understand, but it sounds f'ed up. :/

[wandering_aimlessly]

Uhhhhhh......huh? How can Locke be there twice??????????
No problem, remember Kate and Sawyer were in the same time and place when Claire was having the baby.

[LOST lunatic]

Oh. My. Brain. Hurts.

[brdmom]

This is the scene where Richard looks just like Jeff Probst!

[Captain]

I would pee in my pants if I were Richard

[AgonyAnne]

maybe now we'll see locke at shannon's death?

[Diamondduste]

I love how Locke is calling Ben out on all his b.s.

[blaze98]

How did Locke know the time?

the island told him

[scifimama]

"Quite the out of body experience," but really, he's already DIED and come back, what's a little OOBE.

[wandering_aimlessly]

How did Locke know the time?

The island told him :):Cheers:

[Thomas Hobbes]

qwheen to be here.... I love Ben. And wow Locke calling out Ben for not seeing Jacob, but he has....

[snakey]

This is the scene where Richard looks just like Jeff Probst!

the tribe has spoken, that was perfect!

[blaze98]

"want the bullet?"

[Thomas Hobbes]

Holy Shiz! Locke had to die! since when has locke become so bad asz?

[Captain]

Umm...how many people can fit in there

[*l.o.s.t*m.e*]

Locke has turned into one confidant leader.

[wandering_aimlessly]

What exactly is Radzinsky's job title (other than <snip> of course)

[Thomas Hobbes]

I'm still waiting for Radz to blow his brains out in the Swan...

[Stujoe]

A confused Richard? I love it. lol

[Diamondduste]

Looks like we have our showdown brewing for the finale... Radzinsky vs. Jack and company.

[*l.o.s.t*m.e*]

Who hit Juliet? Phil?

[snakey]

Holy Sayid!!

[Captain]

SAYID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Diamondduste]

That's what I'm talking about!

[blaze98]

I love Sayid

[Lostitute]

OMG... Kate's been shot! :(

And finally, the return of Sayid! :)

[Stujoe]

Whoa! Triumphant return for our Iraqi buddy. lol

[wandering_aimlessly]

It's six-gun Sayid riding to the rescue!

[Dew]

Did Kate take a bullet?

[*l.o.s.t*m.e*]

I'm still waiting for Radz to blow his brains out in the Swan...
Nothing would make me happier than if it was right now.

[Thomas Hobbes]

Like Richard has ever been in a situation he hasn't either planned or been ready for..... this is getting interesting.

[scifimama]

Um, like every 6 minutes this episode I'm screaming "Holy <snip>!"

[Captain]

Who hit Juliet? Phil?


Yes, I hate that git now

[LoonyLuna]

Wow. Making us think Kate got shot. Not cool. How dare they get our hopes up.

[RoseArienh]

Oh my yes. When to bring a gun and how to use it.

[GimongousLostFan]

Sayid!! Yay!

[MagneticLocke]

Kate was not shot.

Are they going to drill into "magnetic energy" or are they going to drill into the bomb?

[RadioDave]

Sayid FTMFW!!!!

[AgonyAnne]

What exactly is Radzinsky's job title (other than <snip> of course)

That'd be a DI patch logo for the ages!

[*l.o.s.t*m.e*]

Hurray for Sayid.

[scifimama]

OMG... Kate's been shot! :(

And finally, the return of Sayid! :)

My first thought upon hearing the gunshot was, "OMG they're going to kill everyone before season 6 even begins!"

[snakey]

Like Richard has ever been in a situation he hasn't either planned or been ready for..... this is getting interesting.

he seems detached somehow to me.

[LOST lunatic]

Sayid!!!!! My man!!!!! Saves the day!!

[Dew]

I want to see Rad and Phil get a serious whooping before the end of S5. :boxing:

[Greg Gregson]

Um, like every 6 minutes this episode I'm screaming "Holy <snip>!"


Agreed-I Love This Episode!

[LOST lunatic]

Richard doesn't seem so confident any more. Hah.

[Diamondduste]

Kate was not shot.

Are they going to drill into "magnetic energy" or are they going to drill into the bomb?

The incident was caused by drilling into the electro-magnetic energy, not the bomb.

[Stujoe]

I think Richard is truly surprised by Locke. Maybe John is a wildcard somehow since he is now nont-dead.

[Lostitute]

Kate was not shot.

Good.

I'd hate to see A.S.K. be renamed Admirers of Shot Kate. ;) :D

*runs far from Brian*

[thatbutton]

The interaction between Locke and Ben has become the best on the show. Brilliant. This episode has been great so far!

[Dew]

Good.

I'd hate to see A.S.K. be renamed Admirers of Shot Kate. ;) :D

*runs from Brian*

:rofl1:

[Bren Keller]

I want to see Rad and Phil get a serious whooping before the end of S5. :boxing:

I totally agree with Dew. I hate those d-bags.

[Mechanical_Vader]

Is Kate shot? There were 2 rounds fired.

[*l.o.s.t*m.e*]

I don't think Richard really trusts John Locke. There's something about the way they're interacting that's fishy.

[RadioDave]

Eloise, Richard, Ben... the three most confident characters in the show's history.... until tonight!

[Dew]

I totally agree with Dew. I hate those d-bags.

Please, don't insult the d-bag. :wink:

[Brian]

Good.

I'd hate to see A.S.K. be renamed Admirers of Shot Kate. ;) :D

*runs far from Brian*

Sweaty, Shot, Steamy...it's all good. ;)

[scifimama]

Looks like we have our showdown brewing for the finale... Radzinsky vs. Jack and company.

Well, Didn't Radzinsky get folded into the hostiles? He was the guy in the Hatch who'd died right before Desmond got there. He was the partner of the former US Army guy who'd worked with Sayid. (played by Clancy Brown) So Radzinsky survives. Yeah?

[wandering_aimlessly]

too many damn ads. they need to do this like fringe and just have 90 second breaks.

[Captain]

lol at Sayid

[Diamondduste]

I love that look of death Sayid just gave Kate.

[Thomas Hobbes]

he seems detached somehow to me.
I agree. It seems weird to me too. I'm thinking he MUST have something planned. But for now, he seems to be confused.

[Captain]

Actually he was wrong

[wandering_aimlessly]

Jack. "I'm not wrong Kate"

Arrogant s-o-b

[Mechanical_Vader]

Jack = Locke in 1977. LOL.

[Dew]

There goes Jack the know-it-all loser. :vomit:

[scifimama]

Jack talking about destiny: Priceless.

[WayneInNYC]

For once, KATE is the voice of reason. How shocking is that?

[Captain]

Aww poor Miles

[wandering_aimlessly]

Miles watching little miles leave. Freaky-deaky.

[Diamondduste]

I love that Miles is getting to see his dad had a reason for "abandoning" the family.

[MagneticLocke]

LOL @ Sawyer

[Thomas Hobbes]

I'm really hoping for something horrible to happen tonight. Like the Incident!

[*l.o.s.t*m.e*]

Ben has told so many lies through the series it's hard to keep track of them all anymore.

[MagneticLocke]

Sawy'ers staying

[Thomas Hobbes]

HAHA at sawyer telling Jules what stocks and bets to make. So old school back to the future!

[wandering_aimlessly]

sawyer and juliet can't REALLY be leaving, can they?

[noop]

Could Sawyer and Juliet be the third party that wants to get back to the island? If they do as Sawyer says and invest in Microsoft and bet on game they would have the resources to get back to the island.

[Diamondduste]

sawyer and juliet can't REALLY be leaving, can they?

Of course not... conflict should coming their way soon. It's the natural rules of television. :)

[wandering_aimlessly]

Is that pool the same one that Kate and Jack found the bodies and the case in all the way back in S1??

[*l.o.s.t*m.e*]

Poor Miles. Now he gets it, but he still will have to live his life thinking his father didn't care.

[Captain]

we'll see

[Thomas Hobbes]

WTF star wars whats it new epi where you have to swim underwater to get to the base. I like this interpretation, but still.

[LoonyLuna]

wet richard is about the best thing i think i've ever seen before in my life.

[MagneticLocke]

Jack doesn't seem so surprised by his current setting

[Captain]

Wow...Miss Eloise hawking...

[Diamondduste]

I believe we are seeing more of the C.V.'s/Cerberus Vents.

[scifimama]

Sayid, an optimist for every season. :)

[snakey]

Sayid is fearless, he has nothing to lose.

[Dew]

The Temple?

[snakey]

wet richard is about the best thing i think i've ever seen before in my life.

oh yeah.

[scifimama]

wet richard is about the best thing i think i've ever seen before in my life.

Ha! Yes indeed.

[Randy Nations]

The 2 Richards this epi is freaking me out

[Dew]

The 2 Richards this epi is freaking me out

Me too but in a good way. :naughty:

[snakey]

Jacob unveiled?

[blaze98]

oooh, Richard is Jacob

[wandering_aimlessly]

JL is about to raise the stakes very high... Will Richard call or fold?

[Captain]

"Tried" to kill him???

[RadioDave]

Nice line by Ben there

[MagneticLocke]

Wait...what?

[blaze98]

Richard Ben team up?

[Diamondduste]

JL is about to raise the stakes very high... Will Richard call or fold?

Or raise...

[scifimama]

I am seriously going to go into mourning when this series ends.

[snakey]

ooh Richard got all excited at the John Locke dead story, his eyes sparkled.

[Mechanical_Vader]

Call me crazy, but it looked like Richard was considering offing John just now.

[Dew]

Ben finally admits to trying to kill Locke. I hope this backfires. Remember what "Alex" said.

[scifimama]

"Tried" to kill him???

Sure. He "tried," but it didn't "take." lol

[silver]

"John Locke's gonna be trouble" :rotfl: :rotfl:

[Diamondduste]

Call me crazy, but it looked like Richard was considering offing John just now.

Richard is an adviser and all about the status-quo of things. Locke is a boat-rocker.

[RadioDave]

So is Jughead in the inner sanctum of the temple? Maybe all the ancient hieroglyphs were just a ruse and the whole temple was built to keep people away from the bomb?

[*l.o.s.t*m.e*]

OMG, Richard is one of the bad guys.

[LOST lunatic]

So is that the last we see of Sawyer now? Say it ain't so!

[lostislander]

sawyer and juliet can't REALLY be leaving, can they?
I just thought for sure Sawyer wouldn't get into the sub.....he'd put J on and then walk away,the sub isn't gone yet, we shall see.......

[wandering_aimlessly]

Richard maybe senses that if the group find out there is no Jacob, then everything he has will fall apart (or maybe he'll get real old, real quick)

[RCPDesigns]

I love that Miles is getting to see his dad had a reason for "abandoning" the family.
and the irony is that he caused this it happen. :)

[LOST lunatic]

Richard and Ben both seem worried about Locke finding or not finding Jacob.

[Mechanical_Vader]

Wow...Miss Eloise hawking...

She is nice and full up top, isn't she? :bump:

[Randy Nations]

But...shouldn't the Richard with Locke and Ben, know what goes on with Jack and Sayid? I am so confused.

[Lostitute]

oooh, Richard is Jacob

Thinkin' the same thing here, too.

Actually, thinkin' about a lot more than just that. Maybe Jacob manifests himself among the Hostiles as ageless Richard. And maybe Jacob manifests himself among other folks as Smokie, or dead people who were close to the people he needs to talk to? Richard's black hair, black shirt, black eyelashes...black smoke, Smokie. Hmm...

[Diamondduste]

So is that the last we see of Sawyer now? Say it ain't so!

Don't count on it.

As mentioned before, Sawyer is a character that, well, wasn't designed to have a happy ending.

Conflict is approaching. It's the standard rule of television, especially when the season finale is next week.

[Captain]

I love Locke bringing every1 along to visit Jacob, lol
a nice little dinner party

[*l.o.s.t*m.e*]

"I'm starting to think that John Locke is going to be trouble."
"Why do you think I tried to kill him?"

[XxMayhemxX]

man i am shaking this is exciting

[Captain]

lololol Juliet and Kate, Sawyer's dream

[RadioDave]

Damn! Juliet can NOT catch a break! When will Kate ever leave her and Sawyer alone?

[blaze98]

I would love to be handcuffed to Juliet and Kate.

[artrageous]

Richard maybe senses that if the group find out there is no Jacob, then everything he has will fall apart (or maybe he'll get real old, real quick)

Kind of Wizard of Oz similarities here, even with Sun asking if Jacob could help bring back Jin....

[Lostitute]

Hmm... the irony of Kate and Juliet bein' handcuffed together, as in Season 3.

[wandering_aimlessly]

Kate is like the bad penny that always turns up

[Diamondduste]

And Sawyer's plot thickens...

Hmm...

I wonder if they are going to the Looking Glass...

[scifimama]

J's thinking, "Man I could just kill that bitch."

lol

Oh don't let the sub sink... I gots a bad feeling

[MagneticLocke]

Does this mean there's going to be a 60 year old Sawyer and Kate living in the real world in 2007?

[scifimama]

Seriously, do any of these yahoos know how to detonate a 50 yo bomb?

[Captain]

Hah the lost theme as they march across the beach..

[wandering_aimlessly]

Ummm... hands up anyone that knows how to detonate an h-bomb. Anyone?

[LostViking]

Does this mean there's going to be a 60 year old Sawyer and Kate living in the real world in 2007?

Maybe that is who Jack called "grandpa" in the retirement center. :)

[blaze98]

Ben is so methodical

[scifimama]

Ben, trying to work it. heheh

[Captain]

hoooooollllyyyyyy shiiii--------

[blaze98]

left field............

[MagneticLocke]

HUH!?

[snakey]

That's the Lost I love.

[Adelaide]

That ending sucked.... imho

It just sounds like foolishness. I thought Jacob and the island were interconnected. If that was the case why would Locke want to kill Jacob??

[Greg Gregson]

Truly Great tonight. Cant wait til next week's Season Finale ! :)

[wandering_aimlessly]

Does this mean there's going to be a 60 year old Sawyer and Kate living in the real world in 2007?
A very rich Sawyer and Kate that could bankroll the third group that went to the island looking for whatever is in the shadow of the statue?

[Mechanical_Vader]

Kill Jacob?! Has John completely lost it?!

[Lostitute]

Okay...so, the bomb is on the altar in the temple.

And if anyone removes his or her face to reveal their "true self", I'm outta here.

And Locke goin' to kill Jacob...could be interesting.

[Dew]

I saw :swoon:

[scifimama]

I am so excited for The Incident next week that I am vaguely nauseous.

I did NOT see any of this coming. ZOMG!

[thatbutton]

This episode was awesome! I love nothing more than hearing that LOST Finale "walking music" they always play when a big group is walking on the beach.
