The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

In the time warp concept, wasn’t there a concept of “correction” and that one life could balance another? Isn’t that what is assumed by Claire’s baby surviving when Clair apparently didn’t? It could be that there was a choice made, Jin or the baby. Don’t know how that works, I don’t write the rules.

And the other issue is, we know what “really” happened and what they tell in the cover story “8 survived, 6 made it off the island”, up to and including what they may have put on the grave, are two different things. There’s lies involved too.

The ‘life correction’ is what I recall, too. Those were some very interesting concepts of time travel and time loop on the website.

You aren’t going to get answers for what, two more years?

In the mean-time, they’re going to keep messing with our heads! :~)

They were interviewing the guy that plays Michael on the radio this morning.

It was kind of surreal, mostly because he didn’t do any yelling and screaming and/or pouting...

But when they interviewed the Ben guy awhile back, he didn’t seem much different. It was rahther creepy.

Er...as in, the Michael guy didn’t act much like his character in “real life”. But I’m not so sure about Benry.

Most of our section are Lost-Watchers; one fella is almost caught up. We had one gal that watched all of season one and two in one weekend to get up to speed. She’s a dedicated Lostee now.

So sorry you had to go through that pain. I hope the tests come back pro-chocolate.

Well, I don't like the time warp idea. But, a lot of things could explain that date on the tombstone. For instance, Jin could still be alive on the island with many of the other survivors, but to keep people from trying to reach the island (for any of many possible plot twists) the "Oceanic Six" may be telling the story that everyone else died in the crash, and hence, the date on Jin's "tombstone". That's just one possible explanation.

That's a distinct possibility. RE: Now that's a interesting variation of 'shooting skeet off the fantail' I like it. I will be shocked if Daniele was really killed off. I really like her character. How did Michael end up back in NYC, sail there? Interesting backstory. So there is that.

We thought that was a bit odd as well. Tonight had no repeat episode for us again, no crawler font. ratz. I wanted to see that crawler on that one.

Due to the writer's strike... tonight was the last episode they finished filming before the strike started. Now they're making new ones again, but the first won't be ready to air until April 24.

We don’t have the repeat either... honey is still watching basketball, so maybe that’s lucky.

Are you going to join us at 9?

Sure! At least if it isn’t *completely* downpouring...
