🎥 ⏰ 🥊 ☠️ 🐎

Showtime really knows how to beat a dead horse.

I meant in the context of TV show takes. There’s no need to be pedantic.

They don’t spoon feed you the answers, but >!The polar bears were imported by the Dharma Initiative for their experiments with the electromagnetic energy. They used a variety of animals for this. At the start of season 3 Kate and Sawyer are kept in their bear cages before Sawyer is sent to work on Jacob’s desired runway, which the second plane lands on. They sent one back in time to the place where you chronologically first see adult Charlotte, digging in the desert for a collar. This is the same place Ben teleports to after moving the island. The polar bears escaped or were let free after the Others chemical attack on the Dharma Initiative.!<

>!Jacks dad (Christian) literally says “you’re dead now, but everything happened on the island while you were still alive, with these people, and it was the most important time of your life which is why you are now in the afterlife with them getting ready to move on”. It is mind boggling how people get from that to “island = purgatory”.!<

It just blows my mind that people don’t understand it. I just can’t figure it out. I remember watching it live in College, then talking the next day with people. To this day I think less of the people that thought >!island = purgatory!<.

To this day you see people posting “what happened” in the finale and the show incorrectly. What they post directly conflicts with what is actual said in the finale and shows that they don’t understand the show. Anyone that understands the show and reads other people takes on the internet knows exactly what I’m talking about without looking at the spoiler text. I’m prepared to say that it’s the wrongest take of all wrong takes. I see supposed “media journalists” and reddit threads espousing this take to this day, and in my book it instantly discounts them from ever having an opinion worth reading. It is honestly mind boggling how these people get to their conclusion.

If you want to know their incorrect take: >!these people think they were dead all along and the island was purgatory. They outright tell you in the final episode that this is not the case, and the only instance of purgatory in the show is the season 6 flash-sideways realm. Everything else happened while they were alive.!<

Helping the geopolitical goals of the USA is helping the American people, and we’re rich enough to do both anyways. The crowd screaming about Ukraine aid should be going to the USA has massive overlap with the anti-socialism, anti-government crowd that should be pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps anyways (while often being dependent on government handouts).

There’s a reason Kynect in Kentucky is super popular while Obamacare is super unpopular despite them being the exact same thing.

LPT: when a relationship is referred to as an “affair” it’s because one or all of the parties are married to someone else.

Because they’re public facing individuals whose job is to report the news, not become the news. Elections are one thing, that’s the people selecting a government. Public representation of your corporation is another thing, and if you fuck that up in any way in a public facing role I’m sure you can still be fired in your country, even if the reason you fucked it up (like having an affair) is apparently normally protected.

Like if Jim from sales and Pam from administration have an affair I’m sure that’s totally fine. But if your two lead anchors have an affair and become the story instead of presenting the story, then I’m sure that’s still a problem no matter the work place protections. They’re not being fired because of the affair. They’re being fired for the public fallout of the affair reflecting badly on the parent company.

Well they were both married to other people, that usually does it. Reporters aren’t meant to be the story.

Crazy shit my man, that’s what happens next. You’ve got plenty of awesome Pam to go though.

If you’re gonna make a post that’s just bait for a Last Airbender circlejerk it’s probably best not to acknowledge the movie. The fan base has strong feelings on that two hour blank spot in their memory.
