Sawyer just couldn't hold back last night: he was telling people what to do and when to do it. Usually, he only has one minute or two of his headstrong demand-making, but last night he was simply on a roll.
The 'Alternate Eden' theory proves true, and it's up to you to ensure the operation was successful. You and you alone are in charge of what happens in this story. You are the final variable.
Gisele Bundchen turns 29 today. Rocco Landesman, the Broadway mega-producer and nominee to be the next chairman of the NEA, is turning 62. Two prominent people at the New York Times are celebrating birthdays today: op-ed columnist Thomas Friedman is 56 and advertising columnist Stuart Elliott is 57. Developer Sheldon Solow is 81.

When Lost first began, it had several things going for it including a strong premise, a diverse cast, and a series of wonderful chests. Sadly, Josh Holloway (tee-vee's "Sawyer") has decided to follow in costar Matthew Fox's lead and mess with his Abbie™-winning torso, and the results became evident this week as he shot an advertisement for Cool Water in Hawaii and revealed this strange new tattoo. Was Holloway trying to one-up Brad Pitt's inscrutable ink, or was he paying tribute to his adopted archipelago in ways that will surely undergo some tectonic shifting over the next decade? A second picture awaits after the jump for those inclined to study the evidence — we're too busy engineering a frantic, preventative letter-writing campaign aimed at Naveen Andrews (no, Sayid, those nipple rings will not look good on camera).
For every high-pitched shriek of rage we let loose after making it through a new episode of Lost without a single Big Question answered, there’s a part of us that doesn’t want to know what’ s going on anyway. Sure, it’d be nice if the epic’s smarmy producers decided to shed some light on what the four-toed statue from season two was all about, gave us some clues about the Smoke Monster, or what Josh Holloway might look like as a member of the full-frontal nudity club, but maybe getting some answers would weaken our obsession. At least that’s how we felt before hearing today that a sole cast member knows for sure exactly how the series will end. And we have a feeling that between now and 2010, they might wind up “blurting it out” despite assurances.
