Lost, and Then Four More Days of Hoops
College Basketball March 25th. 2009, 6:00pm
Monday and Tuesday were the nights to recharge your batteries and get all that housework done that your wife/girlfriend/roommate has been pestering you to get done. Hopefully, you notified them that for the next five nights, you’re out of the mix. Tonight: Lost. We like to read last week’s EW recap an hour before the show.
Tomorrow: Scandal-marred Connecticut against Purdue and Villanova-Duke highlight the schedule. The Wildcats haven’t fared well in the last two meetings against the Blue Devils, but this matchup seems much, much more favorable (but if there’s a late inbounds pass, watch for Gerald Henderson). Expect plenty of (in depth!) posts on the topic quartet of games, because talking about basketball is fun!
Or, we might mock Charles Rogers.

took orlando in streak for cash at home against boston. at 4-0-1, i think the “magic” ends tonight.
also: mr. kennedy, enjoy it while you can
March 25th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
maybe he is hung like a strapped mule or somethin

Maybe she loves him because he is one of the finest comedic actors of his generation.
JLH is giving Kate Hudson a run for most most who-dats invited into a vagina.

False. Taye Diggs completely out-classed him in Malibu’s Most Wanted.
March 25th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
it may have been because i watched online while hungover thursday morning but it feels like not much happened in last weeks episode, in the sense that we are no closer to finding anything out about “The War” and Locke (which i think is incredibly important) he was standing over Ben last time we saw him and then Ben is up and about and Locke isn’t concerned about following him?
March 25th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
i found out what happens at the end of lost guys . you wanna hear it?
March 25th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Its all going on in the head of the kid from The 6th Sense, I already know.
March 25th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
That is a beautiful picture. Mike Dunleavey Jr. on bitches.

They’re on an alien planet and they were being trained for a mission to earth?

fuck you guys. i come here for some mid evening posts and get my lost blow to pieces.
never coming back here ever. i heard it was a snow globe.
March 25th, 2009 at 7:08 pm

The only Lincoln I’m getting, just on my signature, is a Lincoln log.
And would someone in ESPN’s research Dept. send a memo to all announcers. Notre Dame is a university but it isn’t a city. There is no Notre Dame,Indiana.

@sponge
25…didn’t get the soccer ones, the cricket, the consecutive NHL, and the grand slam wins one.
March 25th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
same, blanked on schumacher and marciano too.
March 25th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
i found out what happens at the end of lost guys . you wanna hear it?
It ends with Kate staring blankly into Jack and Sawyer’s eyes with Hurley eating a chocolate cupcake while staring at Juliette’s breasts which have grown another cup size by next season. JJ Abrams was surprised as anyone that it got picked up for a 2nd season and is just making up shit as he goes as he rolls in a bed a million dollar bills.
/I acutally like Lost although sometimes I think I’m hanging on just to see how it ends.
March 25th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
damn needed spell check for shumacher/navarwhatever and i misspelled Canadians. /GEDd
March 25th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Juliette does have some big ‘uns.
March 25th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
i always open an extra tab to google answers i suspect i didnt spell correctly.
March 25th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
/fixed
March 25th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
why a new tab? I just use the auto-complete function in the google search box. That way, you’re just spell checking, and not tempted to cheat.
/almost missed canadiens
March 25th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
because i couldn’t spell navirtalova at all…see? Google doesnt recognize that as anything.
March 25th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
25… Missed the two soccer, total Grand Slam, Cricket, and consecutive hockey. I only recognized the Grand Slam person… Never heard of the other 4…
March 25th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
magic -celts we get to see a not 100% physically but 100% intense kevin garnett.
i hope howard beats up garnett. oh wait kg only fights dudes 2 x smaller than him.

how about instead of setting up tents in the middle of a town hoping for a handout they go to the woods on the edge of towns and then come into the towns and look for jobs…any jobs…just because you used to work at a fancy company doesnt mean you cant work at mickey d’s.

“oh my god we get it you have vaginas!”
denise from scrubs. working her way on my fave character list for tv shows
March 25th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
eliza coupe aka denise from scrubs. yup she is hot
March 25th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Yeah, she’s definitely hot. I love women who actually say what’s on their minds.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Ok, which is more embarrassing for the SEC…having 3 of 4 NIT semi-finalists, or having no NIT semi-finalists?
And I thought Scrubs was weak tonight, other than the Janitor’s remote control cart.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
scrubs was weak and will be until abc gives them the heads up on wether they are picked up for next season or not. so they can develop the characters that will repplace elliot and jd and the others except for dr. cox who has said he wouldnt mind staying
March 25th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
She also digs the fatties, so she’s got that going for her as well.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Aren’t Turk and Carla and the Janitor staying on? I wouldn’t give up a $100k an episode gig when there’s no guarantee you’ll have a future in movies or a new show you’re on will get picked up. But I’m practical that way.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
I thought it was pretty good tonight. This has been a good season IMO. Of course that could partly be because last season was terrible.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
mrejr, they’re not getting picked up…they already know that, even if it’s not official. The only reason it got picked up this year is because ABC Studios is making a killing on syndication, and each additional episode is an extra 1million on the back end. The ratings aren’t terrible, but they needed a solid showing in the demos, which they haven’t gotten.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
no idea….i only know whether or not cox wanted to stay. turk and carla should stay on.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
A Sayid/Sawyer/Ben episode? Very nice.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
LeBron’s 2 boards away from another triple-double, and a 10th straight win.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
tallguy thanks for killing any hopes i had for scrubs to stay on. we need to get started on our show “Chain of Evidence” starring Cuba Gooding Jr i say we pitch it to abc and nbc then save it for cbs because they will greenlight anything
March 25th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Hurley is dumb as a chimp.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Uncle Rico!
March 25th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Hah, I say that, then bam, I run into some new information that gives scrubs a fighting chance. Though, with limited or no Turk and Cox, I don’t think I’d watch, and I’ve seen every episode on the first air.
Also, we need a better title. Chain of Evidence is blah. “Locked up”…”Chainbreakers”…”Chains of Love”…”ECF: San Diego (Evidence Custody Force)”…something else?
March 25th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
LSD, wooooooooo!
March 25th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
LSD!
March 25th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Sponge -
Funny how we get into the Dead and LSD on the same day.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Why even call it Scrubs? Why not do what Boston Legal did and do a restart.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
LeBron officially won the MVP tonight, DWade 5-24 in a loss.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
yea right? Best time I ever had on LSD was at bonnaroo in ‘06, during phil lesh and friends it started to rain and they covered gimme shelter as I was peaking. good times.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Ha – I did LSD at a Phil show at the Fillmore in Denver. It was an Altoid ming. Curiously strong, indeed.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
this is fantastic.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
i like “Chainbreakers” starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and yes there is another star who makes a triumphant return to the a-list. Chris O’Donnell. trust me it would work.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
and ruck i could see them giving scrubs a reboot and renaming it Sacred Heart or something like that
March 25th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
what happd with Boston Legal? I’ve never watched it but it always seemed the same in all the promos i ever saw for it.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
i never watch boston legal either.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
who didn’t see that coming.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Sponge, you guys are talking about Lost right?
/West Coast’d
March 25th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
i am yes.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Is Boston Legal the one with James Spader? Never seen it, but he’s a badass. This episode of Lost is great, too.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
I wonder if Angels and Demons is going to be better than The Da Vinci Code, which sucked.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
every commercial i saw of boston legal had shatner doing something goofy spader looking smug and a case that only the firm could handle. yawn.
March 25th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
you saying that it sucked in general Ruck or in comparison to the book?
March 25th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
dan brown does have another book not involved with religion i think it was call digital fortress. good book also.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
woah.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
holy fuck a movie that anyone with a sense of humor would want to see ………………..
The 3 Stooges.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
holy fucking LOST
March 25th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
I thought the movie sucked ass. There were times that I laughed at how ridiculous the scenes were as they were lecturing each other about history. I don’t think it translated well. As for the book, it was good. I couldn’t put it down.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
So, if Faraday says that they can’t change the future, how exactly does Ben Linus stay alive?
March 25th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
I dig conspiracy theory type stuff not to mention religion and history so i thought it was interesting at least. New one looks better IMO.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Sean Penn? Really?
March 25th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Sayid is truly Eastwood, Bond and one of the guys in Double Dragon all rolled into one.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
He was the best in Pretty in Pink. The best.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
if he can pull it off i could care less . i have been a stooge fan my whole life.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
He was a sleazeball in pretty much every 80’s movie. Mannequin, Less Than Zero. He was fucking chilling in Less Than Zero.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
i cant wait until the book I,Fatty gets made. for those who dont know the book was about Roscoe Arbuckle a ’30s 40’s silent film star (bigger than chaplin) awesome book i suggest you go buy it if you havent read it yet.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
I thought the same thing. Sayid probably thought he was doing everyone and world a favor by offing innocent little boy Ben, but he just wrote his own death certificate.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Sean Penn? Really?
You talking about how he just got caught banging Princess Lea?
I dig on Sayid as well.
So, if Faraday says that they can’t change the future, how exactly does Ben Linus stay alive?
He’s not dead? He knows Sayid obviously. Bullet proof vest or blank weapon. Don’t know. Sayid did Acid. That’s what I do know.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
20’s and 30’s silent film star*
March 25th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
there was a gunshot hole in Ben’s shirt, my guess is it just didn’t kill him.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
OK, so Little Ben knows who Sayid is because Future Ben knows who Sayid is? Thus, Little Ben was able to outsmart Sayid (ie bulletproof vest or something)?
March 25th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
Carrie Fisher is Princess Leia, he got caught banging Matilda.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
agreed, no shot that Ben is dead. pretty weak that a trained killer would just shoot the kid once and walk away.
sayid’s kind of like ben from season 2, which is something that the EW guy has been saying for weeks (obviously from the producer’s mouths)
on ben’s way out of the hatch, didn’t he shoot ana lucia or something like that? or he got michael to shoot ana lucia?
March 25th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
I love what sayid said after the shaman dude said “we gave him too much”
“no, you gave me exactly the right amount, hahahaha”
March 25th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
i almost wonder if Little Ben will now scurry back to camp and tell everyone what happened … and he’ll think the Hostiles are actually bad people, which will trigger the war that widmore was talking about.
so sayid just changed history, i guess?
March 25th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
the name of that episode was “He’s Our You”
March 25th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
the new southpark episode is probably 10 x better than any episode of lost.
/lost sucks
March 25th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
I thought Michael shot Ana Lucia to let Ben out so Ben would take him to The Others so he could get Walt, right?
March 25th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
omg, boston is screwing me in streak for cash! orlando had a big lead and it’s now down to 1 with a minute left. fucking taco
March 25th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
That’s what Sawyer told Sayid just before Aldman (that old dude) put that shit in his mouth to make him talk.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
this south park episode is great
March 25th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
“annnnddd it’s gone.”
March 25th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
boston’s going to win it at the buzzer. dammit.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Madoff episode of Law & Order on, featuring Mike Hammer and the father in Lost Boys.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
right.
as the EW guy/Lost producers speculated, this season mirrors season 2, and my guess is that what happened to Sayid tonight is just like the time the oceanic guys found Ben (well, the older crazy lady found him, i think).
- ben got help from michael to get sprung – so michael could get to his kid
- sayid got help from ben to get sprung – so sayid could ?
March 25th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
I hate Boston. Good job Magic.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Cry Little Sister.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
I see what you’re getting at, but I’m not sure. Ben was locked up for a long time, a good chunk of the season. And Michael sprung him out after murdering Ana Lucia and Libby and then shooting himself in the shoulder to make it appear Ben (Henry Gale) escaped.
I just don’t see too many parallels. I dunno, though. Did Little Ben light that van on fire and ghostride it into Dharmaville?
March 25th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Carrie Fisher is Princess Leia, he got caught banging Matilda. basanders
Thanks. I didn’t really get caught up with the last three movies. That’s what I meant.
Michael shot Ana in what, at the time, seemed to be a knee jerk reaction mistake. Maybe not.
Great episode. I’m all for Sawyer/Sayid/Ben episodes. I’m going to hit the late rerun of South Park while waiting for the Great Blizzard of ‘09.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
randy marsh is my hero.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
I’m going with yes, it was a diversion to get Sayid out.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Did Little Ben light that van on fire and ghostride it into Dharmaville?
That was my impression, but it seems a bit simplistic the way this show has gone.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Michael shot Ana in what, at the time, seemed to be a knee jerk reaction mistake. Maybe not.
Well, she and Michael talked about just killing Ben while Jack and Co. were away tending to other matters (forget what it was). Michael asked Ana Lucia for the gun and said he’d kill Ben. Instead, he straight executed Ana Lucia. Libby was a knee-jerk reaction. She walked around the corner looking for a blanket (for her picnic with Hurley) and Michael got startled and shot. Libby didn’t die right away and went slowly and painfully.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:40 pm

Just a great episode of South Park. Great episode of Lost. Wed is now the most solid day of television,
March 25th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
question: so when little ben got shot, did 2007 ben feel it?
March 25th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
point, where you been, man?
March 25th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
wow i want procreate with that episode of south park. trey and matt still got it.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
Ndub – Yeah, you are right. Libby was the kneejerk. Too much shit to keep track. I’m going to shut up and wait for Cthomashowell to tell me how stupid I am for speculating.
Still, great episode.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
“She walked around the corner looking for a blanket (for her picnic with Hurley)”
That just killed me.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
point, where you been, man?
Speaking of Point, where has Tristan and Sandi been lately? I was wondering that yesterday.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
Ha ha ha. Good stuff KC and Hernia.
I’m off to bed. I’ll chat with you all in tomorrow’s thread.
March 25th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
I am not digging Demetri Martin’s show. I like those jokes better when Mitch Hedberg told them.

The best way to watch Black Hawk Down.
March 25th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
the scene in black hawk down where the dude got shot in the leg and bleeds to death was used in my combat lifesaver(first responder for the battle field) class.

March 25th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
that was the scene that convinced me I was not fit to serve, i dont think i could stick my hand up my buddies wound to grab a vein.
March 25th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
if your buddy’s life depended on it you could . my army buddy is my best friend in the world. if i had to stick my hand up his rectum(rectum? damn near killed ‘em!) to save him i would.
March 25th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
I could never ever be in the army. I’m glad people do it but I dont think I could kill someone.
March 25th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
it is not for everyone.
March 25th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
thoughts on LOST:
*jack / the island will save / heal little ben – little ben always got shot
*ben’s list from season 2, the one that had Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sawyer’s names on it (the people michaeal had to bring to the dock) – it makes perfect sense, as these are the 815er’s that little ben knew in dharma-ville
*staying with the this season mirrors season 2 theme, did you catch little ben’s dad (aka roger workman) tell sayid he’s stupid if he thinks they would believe he just happened to get caught (which is what happened to ben in season 2)? makes one reconsider what happened back then. ben needed dr jack to remove his tumor and to initiate the “beginning of the end”, and end that would send the oceanic 4 + juliet and sayid back to the 70’s to complete the faraday loop of whatever happened, happened…
*it’s going to be interesting, as the series goes on, if the LOST universe is indeed subject to a faraday loop (whatever happened, happened), to see how much information the people from the future give to the people from the past.
*i love this show
March 25th, 2009 at 11:34 pm
As someone who was shot near the femoral artery, getting shot in the leg is no joke. Glad my buddy was all about applying the pressure.
March 25th, 2009 at 11:36 pm
bsanders were you hanging out with doughboy and ricky again?
March 25th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
Ditto.
March 25th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
Maybe I could have been a sniper, thats pretty passive aggressive, right up my ally.
March 25th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
Nah, got held up in the dirty STL and caught three .22’s. No real lasting damage, but I was messed up for a couple months afterwards.
