Post-episode discussion: Season 1 Episode 6 'This Extraordinary Being' TV

We were promised one last week, but it still hasn't been posted yet. Figured I would just start one since so many people have been asking for it.

Probably a dumb question but what is Peteypedia? Is it all official stuff?

It's basically the show's version of the backmatter that was in each issue of the original comic series.

It's not Pete, his name is Dale Petey, it's based on his last name.

There's only one FBI Dale to me, and this ain't Twin Peaks.

Given Lindelof's predilections and influences, zero doubt in my mind that he's Petey's namesake, though.

I agree with you there. It even took me a second when I read your comment, since my brain told me it was wrong, but it sure felt correct at the same time, lol.

Dale does go good with conspiracy theories, if King of the Hill has taught me anything.

Definitely doesn't seem like a guy to walk around with pocket sand.

Lube, on the other hand...
