The current Pope: Not a Dylan fan.
Pope Benedict was opposed to Bob Dylan appearing at a youth event with the late Pope John Paul in 1997 because he considered the pop star the wrong kind of "prophet", Benedict writes in a new book issued on Thursday.

Lost clues: "Enter 77" Ep. 11, Season 3
Synopsis:
Sayid, Kate, Locke and Danielle discover the Dharma Initiative "Flame" station, which serves as a communication center with the outside world. It's inhabited by the Patch Man we saw on a monitor screen earlier in the season.
The Patch Man, later identified as Mikhail, shoots Sayid in the shoulder, but then calms down after Locke, Kate and Danielle emerge with their weapons. He says he is the last remaining member of the Dharma Initiative--his comrades were killed by the "hostiles."
However, we soon learn that Mikhail is pretty hostile himself and alligned with the Others. Hiding in a secret hatch below the main quarters of the station, Kate and Sayid discover Ms. Klugh, seen last season studying Walt after he was abducted by the Others.
In a confrontation, Mikhail takes Locke hostage, while Kate and Sayid hold Ms. Klugh at gunpoint. Ms. Klugh and Mikhail should back and forth to one another in Russian and, apparently instructed by Klugh to do so, Mikhail shoots and kills Ms. Klugh.
Sayid and the rest take Mikhail prisoner and, while retrieving usable items from the Flame, Locke fiddles with a computer. On the screen, Dr. Candle of the Dharma orientation films, gives options of codes to enter in certain situations--wanting to communicate via satellite, etc. If the station is under attack by the hostiles, the code to enter is "77." Locke, apparently figuring entering the code might trigger someone from the outside to come help/rescue them, enters the code and rejoins Sayid and the rest. The station then explodes, triggered to do so by the code Locke entered.
Locke apparently has ruined the crash survivors' hopes for contacting help.
Clues, observations, speculation:
* Here's the purported translation of Klugh and Mikhail's Russian conversation:
Klugh: Mikhail! You know what to do.
Mikhail: We still have another way.
Klugh: We cannot risk. You know what to do.
Mikhail: We still have another way.
Klugh: We cannot risk. You know the conditions.
Mikhail: We have another way.
Klugh: They know us. We will not let them [unintelligible]. You know what to do. It is an order.
Mikhail: But we still have another way! (pause) I'm sorry! (shoots)
* So, we still don't know if the Dharmas and the Others/Hostiles are the same or related groups. Mikhail indicates the hostiles were on the island for a "long time," before the Dharmas arrived. But can we trust what he says?
* Remember when Desmond arrives on the island, Kelvin--the man in the Hatch--warns him about the hostiles.
* Dr. Candle apparently knows about the hostiles, which could mean that they actually are a rival group to the Dharmas.
* Where does Danielle figure into all of this? She mentioned in season one that she was part of research team, but she seems to know nothing of the Dharmas.
* Why did Ms. Klugh feel she should be killed? What could/would she reveal to the survivors that Mikhail could/would not?
* Mikhail Bakunin, the name used by Patch Man, was a real person. From Wikipedia:
[He was] a well-known Russian revolutionary, and often considered one of the “fathers of modern anarchism".
...Bakunin rejected the notion of "scientific socialism," writing in God and the State that a "scientific body to which had been confided the government of society would soon end by devoting itself no longer to science at all, but to quite another affair... its own eternal perpetuation by rendering the society confided to its care ever more stupid and consequently more in need of its government and direction.
* Here's as much as we see of the map Sayid retrieved:

Marvel Comics, in yet another desperate plea for attention, has killed off Captain America--"at least for now."
On the new edition's pages, a sniper shoots down the shield-wielding hero as he leaves a courthouse...
...the character's death came as a blow to co-creator Joe Simon.
"We really need him now," said Simon, 93, who worked with artist Jack Kirby to devise Captain America as a foe for Adolf Hitler.

Yoko Ono has blocked the world premiere of a new John Lennon documentary, "Three Days in the Life."
Ray Thomas, the documentary's executive producer, culled raw footage that was shot inside Lennon's apartment down to a two-hour film covering a pivotal time in Lennon's career. The footage was shot by Ono's former husband, Tony Cox, over a three-day period in February 1970, two months before the breakup of the Beatles.

The Los Angele Times talks to Joss Whedon about his new "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" comics series, which picks up where the TV series ended.
"It really was like being home again," Whedon said wistfully about returning to "Buffy." " 'Oh, here are my old friends. They're so funny!' You can hear their voices so specifically. It was a comic spoken in the voices of actors you worked with for seven or eight years."
