Some things I’d like to think took inspiration from Timely Persuasion, but probably didn’t: LOST – “Across The Sea” The recent “Across the Sea” episode of LOST features two nameless main characters.

Coachella Recap

Â I’m still impressed with how well the time travel was handled in a “Whatever Happened, Happened” sort of way last year. Â Biggest hindsight…
