So, I was just over looking at [TV.Com](http://www.tv.com/lost/show/24313/summary.html?q=lost), and in an upcoming episode called “Admissions”, they list a guest star named Richard Bachman as “Officer King.” That can’t be a coincidence, but I checked the IMDb to see if there was another Richard Bachman, and without even any choices, it took me directly to Stephen King. I know he’s a huge fan of the show, but I don’t know if this is another fake-casting listing, or if he’s actually planning on appearing. ---

Maybe he’ll be eaten by moss until he blows his head off with a shotgun. (Obscure reference there). ---

What about those who can enjoy it on the romance level _as well as_ being obesessed with the details? (I miss things sometimes, but I try to keep up!) [sub]I’m more of a Jawyer myself, sometimes with a bit of Kate tossed in, but I don’t running around going OMG i SO \<3 jate. do u think theyll get maried??? how many babys do u tink theyll have??? jawyer is hawt 2.

Puh-leeze! Shipperdom began with Dave and Maddie, and is the reason why _Moonlighting_ started to suck. 😛 Then there was the movement to have Scully and Mulder hook up (which is where I first heard the phrase “shipper”, long before BtVS). God, I love useless geek arguments. 😃 Reminds me of the 400-post debate I once had about the true original title of _Star Wars_ (1977). “Episode Four” my ass. :rolleyes: ---

So far, the recap show is just the Slightly Expurgated Version of “The Other 48 Days”. (You know… the one without the gannet…) ---
