The Time Capsule

Last night's episode of Lost , entitled "The Variable" had many revelations. Rather than bring out what they clearly showed and answered, I have only one theory to write about that has not been proven.   I've always figured that Charlotte was Widmore's daughter. Again, a theory with no concrete backing yet, except maybe the similarity in there accents. And I believed that the woman Faraday spoke to about the bomb near the beginning of this season, was his mother (which turned out to be true). Since Widmore is Faraday's father, this would make Charlotte and Faraday siblings.   They obviously gave the impression that Faraday loved Charlotte. But they cleverly mislead us about that love. She is his sister, and he was trying to save her.   The writer's of Lost are big Star Wars fans (thus the "Some Like it Hoth" episode 2 weeks ago). Star Wars lead the audience on, in regards to a relationship possibly happening between Luke and Leia. But it turne

Michael Scott: I color code all my info...green means "Go". So I know to go ahead and shut up about it. Orange, means "Orange you glad you didn't bring it up". Most colors mean don't say it.

Something pretty cool just happened. Brent Spiner (Commander Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation for those who don't know) just responded to a post I sent him. It's short, but humorous. So I couldn't resist posting it here. Have a good laugh! It went like this: BrentSpiner: I'm thinking of starting a new company. Celebrity Limo. The twist is it's the celebrities who do the driving. I'll take Tuesdays. byoung210: @BrentSpiner Has-been celebrities or current celebrities? I'll only try the service out if its Has-been. BrentSpiner: @byoung210 Has beens, of course. I said I'd take Tuesdays.  It's a metaphor Data!

I found any interesting article on CommonSenseMedia.org . Apparently a study was conducted that showed that children whose parents allow them to watch 'R' rated movies have a greater likelihood of smoking. I personally don't watch 'R' rated films, for the main reason that the subject matter would more often than not be offensive to me.   And given what can be found in those films, I don't find the results of that study to be surprising. While people can claim that TV, movies or games doesn't have an impact on how a child develops, I think it does. Even if it isn't readily apparent, it can have negative effects that are more subtle. Maybe a child isn't a violent person, but on the other hand they are desentized to violent images or actions of others. So they may never grow up and act out what they've see or played, but at the same time they may be indifferent or not disapproving of what they are used to seeing.   The study does say that it may als

The January 2009 NPD video game sales data was released yesterday. Basically, NPD tracks the sales of many products and among them are video games and video game hardware. While these numbers are not exact, they do represent a pretty accurate count of total sales. Certain companies are not a part of the NPD count, like Wal-Mart, so NPD estimates the number of sales of those companies based on sales of those that do report to them.   Here are the sales for January 2009 video game consoles (this does not count PC video game sales or handheld consoles):   TOP-SELLING HARDWARE - JANUARY 2009 Wii: 679,200 Xbox 360: 309,000 PlayStation 3: 203,200 Clearly, Nintendo has a stranglehold on the market. With the DS and Wii they have been able to broaden the market of those who play video games. Some die hard video game players resent this fact, as they feel the games released on Nintendo's systems, do not sometimes really qualify as games. However, there is no denying they have opened this mar

Over the past, oh I don't know, 3-5 years, I've had a story kicking around in my head that I have always wanted to write. I actually, at one time, sat down and started writing it. About 5 paragraphs later, I never went back to it.   Now why would I do that? Simply because I was trying to be too ambitious and I overwhelmed myself with the task of writing a trilogy. There were three acts to my story, but at the same time each story could stand on its own. Now I've never written a book before, and here I was setting out to write not one but THREE books. A little over the top. And as such, I never went back to it.   But still, I continued in my mind to think of the specifics of the story. How it could be told, and how it could be written so as to be enjoyable for others to read. Of course, you would think, if I was going to do this I would do it with the purpose in mind of being published and making some money on it. But that's not it. I don't feel this would be a wide

This past week's episode of Lost: The Little Prince, got me thinking about a few things. This season is really opening up and explaining the mystery of previous seasons. I've seen hints and clues of what's to come. Here are more of my predictions about the show. We'll see what ends up coming true and what is just me overthinking the story. Evidence has been given that Charlotte & Miles have both been on the island previously. They both started getting the nose bleeds. It appears that the longer you are on the island, the quicker the effect of time travel has on your health. So Charlotte has spent more time on the island than anyone else. Miles is next to have been on the island longes and then Juliet, since they all had the symptons come in that order. Which leads me to my next conclusion... Charlotte was born on the island. Not only that, but her mother, unlike other pregnant women, didn't die while giving birth on the island. A true mystery. I believe her moth

After last night's episode of "Lost", I have a few theories on what's going on. I'm going to try and add these after every episode. A few of the below are theories that date back a while.   Widmore, as we saw, was on the island in the past. He eventually must have become a leader of the other's and ultimately moved the island. Of course, whoever moves the island can't go back. This is why Widmore is on a quest to find the island. He feels Ben stole it from him. The island or someone, is moving Faraday, Locke and the others in the group through time stategically. It's trying to save itself. So they are moving about to crucial times to save the island. We saw how Faraday knew what to do with the bomb. He told the people of that time period how to do it. After they "jumped" to another time, those he told must have taken his advice. Had Faraday not been there to tell them, the island would have blown up. I believe we'll see more "saving&

Do you find Batman funny? How about that old 60's TV show with the cool theme song? Well Emma sure seems to find it funny. Watch the video below and you'll see what I mean.
