LOST withdrawal
It’s been two weeks since the last new Lost until February.
To help hold you over, here’s a nice little blend of Lost (season 2 flavor) and some Weird Al:
Thank you, bobville.com!
Want more Lost? Wait 'till February!
Damn.
Just watched the season finale of Lost and all I have to say is I love this show.
Well, I have more to say, but that’s just the initial reaction.

That wasn't the kind of "Cliffhanger" I had in mind
Day six of 24 is over.
And I’m glad.
What started out with so much promise slowly degenerated into just another television show. This season, the focus of the show moved away from Jack and the show really suffered. It got to the point where while it still was better than most of what else was on television, but not the same 24 that I would pause my life (and yell at friends and family who dared call during the show) to watch.
Anyway, about the final two hours of today:

Not much to say
I liked tonight’s episode of Lost, but I really don’t have much to say.
I just wish more people (ahem, Jack!) would listen to Sayid.
Now, we’re gonna have some fun.
After three-plus weeks of boring plotlines, next-to-no action and an overall lack of Bauer, the 24 we all know and love has returned.
So…more questions
[sarcasm on] I love it when an episode of Lost answers something, but introduces about ten more questions that need to be answered. [/sarcasm off]
Am I watching the right show?
For the past few weeks, I’ve been going on and on about how the latest hours of 24 haven’t had enough Jack. The focus lately has been on political/legal intrigue in the White House bunker and love parallelograms at CTU. And while those are okay in the background, they cannot carry a whole episode (or multiple episodes) of 24 as they’ve been doing lately.
Tonight’s episode was boring. There were a few minutes of Jack in action near the end, but even that wasn’t enough to save this episode. In an effort to show that I think the show can do better, I have three things that should have happened this episode to have made it better:
Perspectives
For those Lost fans who have been paying attention to such things, it’s been forecasted for a while that tonight’s episode, Expose, would not focus on the main characters or reveal any of the big mysteries of the island. While I was initially skeptical of tonight’s episode for potentially not following up on things like last week’s hour of awesomeness, tonight had enough tiny moments of awesomeness to qualify as a solid episode.
The Hour of Rain Man
If there’s one complaint that I’ve had about this season of 24, it’s there hasn’t been enough Jack. It feels like he’s been pushed aside in favor of focusing on the blossoming soap operas taking place at CTU and underneath the White House. And he’s only killed a handful of people. Jack Bauer has not killed this few people in a day since he was in junior high.
And so I’ve been thinking, what can, or will they do, to bring the focus back to Jack? In what way will they bring back the one-man killing squad that we’ve watched over the past six years?
The answer to those questions: team him up with Rain Man.
