Man, Season 4 of "Lost" isn’t even done airing yet, and already the DVD announcement has hit the net. All you Losties can look forward to picking up the DVD set on December 9th, just in the nick of time for gifting on  ChrismaHannuKwanzadon - as well as the premiere of Season 5. What a cruel tease to announce so early and then make us wait such a loooooong time. I can’t wait to see the blooper reel, though, and the Oceanic Airlines safety featurettes.

First halves of two parters are always a little tricky. A lot of the action is tied up in setting up stuff that won’t pay off for another week, and that’s doubly true for a show like "Lost." Actually, with a show like "Lost" there’s a lot of stuff that won’t pay off until next season, if then. Still, the lack of consistency in "Lost" is one of the single most frustrating things about watching it. Sometimes it’s really, really on, but other times it gets mired down in its large cast, the multi-layered timelines and the never-ending tease.
Not only is this week’s episode tied up in moving people and plots into place for the big conclusion, but it also reminds me a little bit of "Noises Off" in the scene where everyone is running in and out of various doors, just missing each other over and over again. With […]

The ABC Upfront presentation ended with some footage from the upcoming part one season finale of LOST. ABC president Steve McPherson gave the audience a heads up and told those who didn’t want to be spoiled to leave. A few did, but many, like me, remained glued to their seats.

Okay, it took me about ten minutes to get my eyes uncrossed after that ending. That was a full-tilt boogie, "Lost" style. I think I’m looking forward to seeing the half-baked theories that the internet comes up with almost as much as I’m looking forward to seeing the next episode. Given what we’ve learned, and what’s been hinted at, there are many billions of crackpot theories now available to the obsessive fans. Not that I would have any idea about that kind of thing.
Given what we know about his history, "destiny is a fickle bitch" seems like the perfect motto for Benjamin Linus. I’m surprised he doesn’t have it tattooed across his butt. Ben is a man who knows about the winds of fate, and which way they blow, and they are most definitely, err, blowing Locke. Clearly Ben’s not exactly excited about losing his slot as the golden boy, […]

Tonight’s episode must have really tickled the fancies of the Jack/Kate shippers of the world, but for the rest of us it left a bit to be desired. There’s some good action in there, and a hell of a classic "Lost" cliffhanger, but you have to wade through a bunch of Jack and Kate cracking up in flashbacks and the least tense surgery ever. After telegraphing Jack’s illness so thoroughly, it’s disappointing that they went with the most cliché illness ever, and it’s hard to build up much concern about the health of a character who is verifiably alive several years later.
That aside, the added flavor that the Kahana crew brings to the mix makes for some interesting action. It’s a curious revelation that Charlotte speaks Korean, but there’s no way that’s just an interesting coincidence. Perhaps now that the exigency of Jack’s illness is passed, Bernard will be able […]

It’s Friday morning and I’m still feeling overwhelmed by last night’s TV extravaganza. There’s so much to discuss yet it’s sunny and beautiful outside. What to do, what to do? I know! Put together one long ass post that says nothing at all significant or insightful about any of the shows but still gets […]
