true. but, back in the heydey of nonternet, your discussion groups were limited. sometimes severely. maybe it was just a group of friends, and maybe there was a magazine one of you subscribed to that had tidbits once a month. etc.
but now that the web is all social, your group of people has vastly expanded to the tenth degree of variety, including a st patrick's day ronald reagan named g-man, and various time traveling doctors, occasionally named ...doctor, whom you'd never have had conversations with previously.
beyond that, there's so, so much more info you can go and review. blogs and forums you don't belong to and would never visit are just a google search away. what were the talking birds hurley saw...? wikipedia knows! how did the dialog exchange go, specifically, between jacob and guyliner? here's the youtube clip someone from florida posted.
just seems like a major stream that, with all the guerrilla (and gorilla) marketing shows like lost and other JJ abramms projects now take, shows are starting to interject and pillage.
