Scooby Doo! It's always the same thing... some guy pretending to be a ghost to keep people off some valuable piece of property... Ugh! Couldn't they think of another reason someone might act like a ghost?

I respectfully disagree. Mike and Carol had a bathroom, it was behind the wall which was up against the headboard of their bed in the master suite.
Alice also had her own bathroon.

the kids shared a full bath, with doors exiting to both bedrooms.

Spider-man can bench press several tons(at least 10). One punch from him can kill a man. So why do his blows have no effect on Doc Ock in S2? Doc gets right back up like nothing happened.

In Return of the Jedi, Leia tells Luke her early memories of their mother. So it's implied she died when Leia was a toddler. But in Revenge of the Sith, Padme dies during childbirth. How did Lucas explain that?

And when Luke tells her they're brother & sister she says "somehow I always knew." But in Empire she gives him a big wet one.

Ok...The guns and ammo were found in the "swan" hatch that Desmond had been living in for three years (I think). You can buy Soviet era shotguns and rifles anywhere for cheap. My husband bought one a couple years ago from Dunhum's Sporting goods for like $150. They're not rare.

The whole hatch is temperature controlled, so I don't think humidity plays a factor there. There is a giant magnet on the island, but punching in the numbers controls it from destroying things, I guess. On the season 2 finale, Desmond realizes that when he didn't press the numbers last time, it was what caused the flight 815 to crash. And how do they power the computer? There are energy sources in all of the hatches.

As far as the polar bear, it's already been established that the island was used by the Hanso Foundation for various experiments, one of them being on animals. In the season 3 opener, you see that Sawyer and Kate are put into zoo-like cages. Another character who was in a cage when Sawyer was put in his, said something to him about bears being it in previously.

'24' is FULL of 'em. And still my fav. lol

The best. . . I think it was during season 3 (rolleyes). . . was that there was this virus on their computers that was going to be unleashed and let hackers get in and reveal their secret database of international spies to the whole internet and get them all killed and whatnot. And they were all freaking out. . . omiGAWD, whatarewegonnaDO. . . give the terrorist who knows how to stop it whatever she wants, just MAKE IT STOP!. . . omfg . . .yeah. . . um. . .look. . . unplug your server. Or, like, throw it out the window and restore it from backups later. It'll be ok. Really. lol

He didnt he just rewrote the canon to fit his idea for the movie.

Everytime he says that he "always had the original idea for the first three movies." is just plain BS.

One basic and important plot point up until the finale of Buffy (when all the Potentials get to be Slayers) was that there is only ever one Slayer called at a time.

Early on in the series, Buffy "dies" and the next Slayer, Kendra, is called. When Kendra is killed by Drusilla, nutjob Slayer Fiath is called. So okay, now there are two fully-functioning Slayers. Louses up the "Chosen One" thing a bit, but at this point it still makes sense.

Then Buffy dies again. (Or, for real this time, because since when the fuck is being unconscious considered a death? I digress)

No new Slayers are called. Why? Joss never explain this. After Buffy's resurrection, there really should be three Slayers, not just her and Faith.



Spike's age fluctuations always bugged the shit out of me too. The whole siring thing was a major fuck-up on Joss's part, and so was the weak backpedalling (your sire's sire is still your sire) but I can let that slide, stupid as it is. But that age thing -unless there was some mystical goings-on the audience wasn't privy to, Spike just can't have been 126 and 200 at the same time.
