I wouldn't really call the stoning reference obscure. Prescribed in the Hebrew bible as the punishment for a number of sins, it's the subject of one of the most famous parables in the New Testament and the way the first Christian martyr died. I think the second is probably more relevant here, as Gladys is, if it was indeed a hate crime, apparently the first GR martyr.Apparently the stoning and burning has some relatively obscure religious antecedents.
In contrast to the apparent orgasmic euphoria of those floating up into the heavens and away from their anguished families.Renaissance deco, not Rapture really. There was an article a page or two back that discussed the title sequence. Per the article it was meant to capture the pain/anguish of those "left behind".
ATFEC, not AFTEC.During the chief's call to the AFTEC
The GR are not local. The ATFEC agent referred them as “those nuts”, and in the previous episode, two white clad smokers handed a pamphlet to Tommy at the bus stop is TX or some place.They may be slightly bigger, but from what we can see now they are local only.
Do we? Do we really know that any scene featuring Chief Garvey isn’t a figment of his imagination?Well, we now know the dog shooting guy isn't a figment of the chief's imagination.
I don’t find much of anything to care about in this show.I don't really care about the "great mystery" of this show
I think the annoying teens are the best part of this show. Chief’s daughter Jill is far and away the sanest and most normal major character, and by a smaller margin, I also find her the most likable, or maybe I should say, least dislikable.I'll say this much for Lost: the first season was really exciting and intriguing and there were no annoying teens.
Next week’s episode apparently centers on Nora, and the preview alluded to “The Matrix”, so maybe it won’t be another start to finish hour of emotional sadomasochism. Maybe.Zealot that he is, the reverend actually behaves like a human being. His sister is the only woman on the show who can break a smile. I rather have more of them. The third bottle episode was actually the best because it didn't have much to do with the dumb cult and the people's dumb reaction to them.
