That's good and bad news. One of the things I like about Kane's stories that I've read so far is the mystery about the character, and I'd hate to see it delved into more than necessary. That said, I'd be far more appreciative and accommodating to the character's actual creator (Howard) doing...

I haven't finished the SK collection myself as yet, so this back story was news to me. I take it, though, that it's something this guy is making up out of whole cloth, then, and not something I'll see even the vaguest hint of in the stories I have yet to read?

Exactly. They could possibly be the descendants (or survivors?) of the Black Rock, or something even earlier than that. Either way, we know that people have been landing/crashing on the island at least back until the early 19th century. We also know (via Richard's appearances in the present day...

It was in Blood of the Fold. Part of their pact with the Keeper is that they must copulate with a demon from the Underworld. One of the Sisters of Light (Verna, maybe?) stumbles upon the initiation rite. Definitely a... graphic description of the event, and yeah- I don't see them putting this...

That was my impression, at least to an extent. From Jack and Hurley's exchange, what I got out of it was that Hurley is the only one who knows where the other survivors are, but that Jack knows that there are others. And the Mysterious Black Guy (Dharma rep? Someone else?) suspects it, but...

You're more generous than me. I say two years maximum. The next major Marvel event (after "Secret/Skrull Invasion") is quite likely, even.

I was excited about this idea when the initial discussions of 4E and the PoL were going on (and the idea has been floated about already by WotC), but after seeing what they are in the process of doing with the Forgotten Realms, I'd be happy to see them give the "Classic Settings" books a pass...

"Sign says- STAY AWAY FOOLS!" It's the Love Shack. Good catch on the Desmond one, I was wondering about that, and it does seem likely. As for what seems to be Jack's dad- we have seen what is apparently Jacob appearing as other people (some dead) for quite some time now. Usually before he...

From comments made by Hurley, mysterious black guy, and Charlie/Monster/Jacob (my theory), I got the impression that there are still people left on the island, and that only 6 left. Of those six, we know of Jack, Hurley, and Kate- I suspect Kate's husband(?) or whoever she mentioned in the...

After last night's episode, I'm wondering (suspecting) that maybe that will be the way this season (short as it sadly is) will play out- with FF's instead of flashbacks. Could be interesting. I don't know. It doesn't seem likely to me- for one thing, for all Naomi knows, Cindy's dead. She's...

Yeah, I'm confused. Were we standing on it, or not? I assumed we would be, but looking back it doesn't look like we were explicit about it.

Given that they were so close to releasing the 4th expansion of Chainmail before it was ignominiously cancelled, does anyone know of/has anyone seen any copies of what would have been going to print for the Shadow of the Drow expansion? I'd love to know if anything at all existed, since I kind...

Yikes! Why bother retaining the "setting" at all if it is going to be so completely and utterly rewritten?

Crap. WGA dropped it's Reality TV demands. Looks like they figured it was better to cave on that one (for now) while sticking to their guns on the royalties issue.

Over his shoulder, Vanden replies to Garnet, "I believe we need simply say the words 'ascend' or 'descend' in Dwarvish." Scratching his head, he murmurs to himself, "At least I hope it's dwarvish."

Yeah- I'd be very surprised myself. I'm having flashbacks to the tragedy of Brandon Lee. :(

That's it. I'm never speaking to you again, frat boy brother! :p (I kid, of course. My brother and dad are both frat boys, as are some of my close friends. I, myself, was almost a frat boy.)

I couldn't have put it better myself, atom crash. What you said sums up exactly how I felt about the movie.

Holy crap! I thought this had to be some sick joke when I saw the thread title, but... yeesh. I haven't seen a lot of his recent work (though I'm still looking forward to Dark Knight), but I enjoyed a lot of his earlier work, especially Roar!

That sounds interesting- I'm going to have to add it to the list.
