Now The TV Finales

Posted in Blog, Lost, Television
I spent so much time finishing my travelogue that I haven't talked tv in awhile so here's the season wrap up: Lost- Four seasons and it's as strong as ever. I made nine predictions about the finale and I was thrilled to get eight of them correct. Ok, they weren't exactly tough (Sawyer calls somebody by a nickname, Jack barks orders at someone, Kate gets rescued by either Sawyer or Jack, Hurley drips sweat, Sayid repairs something, Desmond says "brother," Aaron cries, Michael dies and the one I missed, Locke rubs his head) but it always fun to guess anything correctly with this show. Actually, some earlier predictions of mine also came to fruition, namely that Locke was in the casket ...

The Plane Truth

Posted in Blog, Lost
I think I've mentioned this here before that whenever I've flown over the last couple of years I've glanced around at the other passengers and compared them with the hotties on Lost's flight 815. And every time it's been quite clear that if we were all stranded together, island pregnancies would not be an issue. This time I got a little proof of the kind of stud I'd be running from Smokey with: Come to think of it, he kind of looks like he's preparing for some island inseminations- assembly line style.

The Fall Of Lost

Posted in Blog, Lost, Television
The "fall season" of Lost has come to an end. Sniff. While the six episodes we've seen so far have been a bit up and down, Lost at its worst is still better than anything else on the tube these days (Faith and Kanye aside). My thoughts/questions on this episode: It was great seeing Kate and Sawyer doing what could only be called in their current cleanliness states "the nasty." That's two women in two months for Sawyer. For being stranded on an island, he's not doing too bad in that department. These people should consider themselves lucky that they have plenty of hotties to choose from. The last time I flew, I compared the people on my flight ...

Lost Is Back!

Posted in Blog, Lost
I am a happy, happy woman today now that Lost is back, albeit temporarily. Some comments on last night's episode that nobody else will care about: -- First and foremost, could there have been any more commercials??? At first I thought, "Wow- this show is so great the time is just flying by." Then I realized, no, there were actually commercials every 6-7 minutes. I think this was the first time I ever watched the show live and it will most likely be the last time. -- LOVED the opening. I tried hard to figure out who's backstory that woman was from and never saw it coming that she was an Other. Seeing the plane break up from their perspective was awesome. ...

Season Finales

Posted in Blog, Lost, Television
I have been the major slacker blogger lately but with sweeps month ending, I should be a lot better (or not). Before I get to my recaps, I'll mention that I've noticed I seem to have the same reactions each week at the end of most of the shows I watch. They are: 24- "Oh my God!" (often it's also followed by "I can't believe they killed...") American Idol- "Why do I watch this show?" The Apprentice- "Moron." Lost- "What the hell was that???!!" CSI- "I gotta stop watching this when I'm eating." Survivor- "Morons." The Sopranos- (this season) "That sucked." Desperate Housewives- "I need to work out." Now for the finale recaps: Lost- I'll start with the best show on television, Lost. Even though it's coming back next season ...

Lost Experience #3

Posted in Blog, Lost, Television
How does Lost do it each week? Every time the show answers a few questions, it opens up even more. I love it. I'm very intrigued by Miss Klugh (Clue?)'s question whether or not Walt has appeared in unexpected places. And Sawyer's really taken over Hurley's role as comic relief. Between his neverending nicknames (this week I only caught "Captain Arab" for Sayid) and his referring to sex with Ana Lucia as being "caught in a net" (does he think Jack and Kate had sex too?), he's just as easy on the ears as on the eyes. Well this week's "Lost Experience" clue was letyourcompassguideyou.com/. I went to the site, which features a compass you can move with your mouse. ...

Lost Experience #2

Posted in Blog, Lost, Television
For those playing along with the "Lost Experience," tonight's clue said to go to sublymonal.com. I clicked on each of the glowing boxes until I received the code, "Heir Apparent." I went back to thehansofoundation.org and entered the code into a space on Thomas Mittlewerk's page. The following image appeared: (Click for larger image) I still don't know what it all means. I like this scavenger hunt they've set up but they're going to have to make it a little more exciting to tide me over in the summer months without Lost.

Hopelessly Lost

Posted in Blog, Lost, Television
I've officially joined the ranks of major Lost geeks. I'd heard that the producers were going to reveal insights to the island's mysteries over the summer in something called "The Lost Experience," and they began with a commercial during last night's episode. I called the number from the commercial and transcribed the whole phone tree (which I pasted below). Yes, I'm a dork. But first, some comments/questions on last night's episode: I think that might have been the best show ever! One shocker after another. The episode was titled, "Two For The Road." Pretty funny considering the two characters who went down were the ones arrested in real life for DUI's on the same night. Are either or both women dead? I hope not and I doubt it. There's still unfinished business as far as Libby's apparent stay in the mental institution with Hurley. Ana Lucia's kind of annoying but she was growing on me. I felt cheated that we didn't get to see more of the hot sex with Sawyer. Though, I really couldn't enjoy it anyway since I kept thinking, "Did they use a condom?" Even if she's not worried about diseases (and after Sawyer's admission several weeks ago of catching something in Talahassee, she should be), does she want to get pregnant out there? Loved the post-sex comments: Ana Lucia- "If you tell anybody about this, I'll kill you." Sawyer- "I guess that means cuddling is out." It seemed that Michael shot Libby by accident, but why Ana Lucia? Is it a means of getting Walt back? And after shooting himself in the shoulder, will he let "Henry" go? They better not kill Henry any time soon- I love that creepy guy. Doesn't anybody on this show make a sound when they're shot? Shannon, Libby, Ana Lucia. At the very least, I'd expect a "Fuck you (gurgle ack phht)." I'll feel bad for Hurley if Libby dies- what are the chances he'll ever find another woman who's attracted to him? Oh wait, he's loaded back home (unless the lottery win is also imaginary...?) Who's going to turn out to be Jack's sister? The woman resembled Claire but seemed a bit young to be her mother. And will Jack ever learn that Ana Lucia travelled to Australia with his dad? Ok. I know I'm just talking to myself here. But damn I love this show. Transcription of messages at 1-877-hansoorg:

Looking For “Lost”

All Lost junkies had to be blown away by the last episode (and if you don't watch Lost, you're depriving yourself of some quality entertainment). I learned a while back that if you only watch the show, you're probably missing out on half the action. The creators do an amazing job each week of tucking details in the background and intertwining the characters' backstories. It's too much for the average viewer to catch so you have to enlist the aid of the uber-fans in the newsgroups/discussion boards. I swear, some of these people are nuclear physicists analyzing the show frame-by-frame and presenting complex ...
