I think you got a point there my man. They know the Lost crowd doesn't have much else to turn too these days.<br>If JJ did this shit... fuhgetaboutit.<br><br>George... man I hope that is precisely what's going on.

@knownhuman raises a good point, something I feel should be a disclaimer shown before every Pilot:
