Ryan Paugh So any thoughts on last night's Jin/Sun centric episode? Anyone surprised by the mystery person in the sub? I was actually hoping that it was going to be somebody else...

I just watched the episode on Hulu now, missed the Alpert episode and this one. But I loved this episode and I loved polished Mikael haha. Great time anomaly theory, Smith.

Zack Zaban Does anyone have tips on successfully taking a break from social media? This question sounds strange, but I find that the only way I can limit my interaction with others in the online world is to simply go to a location where I cannot get Internet.

I tend to have e-mail, RSS, and Twitter applications running whenever I'm at my computer, and seeing icons with numbers or notification overlays everywhere was a bit distracting. So I turned them all off. It's not really a break from social media, but at least I'm not constantly reminded that I'm connected - letting me get other work done online but still allowing me to switch gears if I want to.

I just try to stay off the computer if at all possible. It's helped a lot with achieving some balance.

Ryan Paugh Okay, so I am starting to think that the alternate timeline has nothing to do w/ the nuke going off, but something to do w/ an event that hasn't occurred yet in the on-island timeline. Karla mentioned this earlier, but Jacks new offspring has made me a believer. Any thoughts, theories, etc?

Ryan Paugh Okay guys, what did you think about this week? Is it just me or is the alternate timeline getting weirder and weirder? Ben is a teacher now? Locke stayed w/ Helen? Did something else get warped when they set off that nuke?

Doug Sisson: I was thinking that too, Sally. It will be interesting to see how they merge to two timelines, or how they end the 2nd one.

Benjamin Jancewicz HUGE debate with my friends right now: Are there three timelines or just two? 1: Jack on a plane as if nothing happened. 2: Juliet & the Bomb in 1977. 3: FakeLocke in present day. I think there's only two, because when Japanese Warrior dude set off the warning rocket, it was seen by FakeLocke and Ben & them. Another question: Who was Japanese Warrior warning with the rocket? Where is the other group?

As in, at the end of your post, ask a question (or multiple questions) that express an interest in hearing what the commenters have to say.

On Facebook, I don't like Notes. Networked Blogs does a better job of posting it as a status and linking to your actual blog, whereas with Notes, it's awkward to get to the conversation.

Good luck!

Breanne Potter- Harris If you could go back and re-write Lost, whose story line would you have continued? Whose story was cut too short? My answer: I thought there was so much more to learn about Mr. Eko and Libby (especially the ties with Hurley in the mental ward).

Seeing her life before the island was really interesting because it was the first time I realized she's as trapped as everyone else.

Probably not a popular choice and not the *best* as far as episodes go, but I liked them a lot.

I think that how you organize depends on the end goal of your blog (as you seem to suggest in your original post). If you see it as a business or potential for future opportunities, you will work harder at it. I currently work from 7:30am to 4:30pm, spend time with the fam until 9pm, and blog/socialize until 2am. Probably not the best model.
