When I was in high school, my father had two dogs. To keep them in the yard, we got one of those invisible fence things. A neigobor wanted to get one for his dogs, but was curious as to how powerful it was. So after talking with my father, he took one of the dog’s collars, held the metal part in his hand and walked “through” the fence. He jumped, shouted, and said it was a big mistake.
With that in mind, I really don’t blame Locke for what he did tonight.
So I’ve noticed that in my commentary for a few other 24 episodes this season, I’ve said something along the lines of “good episode, but it needed more Jack.” And surprise, surprise, that’s what I feel about tonight’s episode.
I don’t know if that’s some new thing they’re trying–to slowly take the focus off of Jack, or to push him out of the picture, but it’s not the move I’d make. While this season has been interesting, it definitely needs more Jack.
But then again, last year, I thought they were going to have Curtis take Jack’s place as the star of the show, so what do I know?
As usual, the promos blew the episode out of proportion, and while I didn’t think it was the most shocking moment in 24 history, I … Continue reading “Martha Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest”
Well, that was an interesting un-mystical-flavored mysteries of mystery frickin’ island episode.

This is probably the most painful thing I’ve ever had to say. It’s a tough realization, and just the fact that it’s right tears away at the fabric of our universe:

The Civee and I were watching the original Back to the Future this afternoon and I noticed something.
The car that the Lybian terrorists were driving:
Looked a lot like the Dharma Van from this last week’s episode of Lost:

My question is: what use did the Dharma Initiative have for the purloined plutonium?
And how did the van get from the busted-up Fotomat to the island, anyway?
Last week’s episode of Lost revealed some shocking truths. After hearing that this week would be about Hurley, I was hoping that it would reveal why Hugo’s nickname is ‘Hurley.’ That’s actually something I care about finding out more than how Jack got his tatoos.

No One Else is one of my favorite weezer songs. Okay, it’s tied with about 15 other weezer songs, but it’s the thought that counts.
The Blue Album had some pretty strong singles, but No One Else was not one of them. Still, that shouldn’t keep the song from getting a video. I found this while surfing through You Tube and think it fits the song perfectly:
One thing about the previouslies for tonight’s episode that I caught:
Bearded Logan (a.k.a. the titular LumberJack of this post) told Jack last episode: “Come and see me. And come alone.”
Is Logan asking Jack over for what the kids call a booty call?
One of the greatest people I’ve ever known passed away last week.
My father called me today to tell me that WNBC reporter Ralph Penza died. For both semesters of my senior year of college, I was an intern at WNBC–first with a consumer reporter, and then, as Ralph’s intern.
Usually, I was told, Ralph only hired on full-time interns from another school. But I guess that someone had talked me up pretty good, because he accepted me as his intern, even though (because of my schedule), I could only work for him three-and-a-half days a week.
Right away, I was amazed by Ralph’s energy, generosity and humor. He was dedicated to getting the story right every day. I learned more from him in a few months than I did in all of my other college classes combined. There were stories that we’d be out covering all day where by the end I would be dead tired, but he’d still be going strong.
I talked to Ralph a few times since moving out here, and he was still reporting stories. Ralph was a great reporter. But more importantly (as I learned), he was a great person too.
Thanks for giving me a chance Ralph.
Lost takes place on an island with polar bears, a giant four-toed statue, and about 108 other mysteries. The one mystery that is not as pressing as the others is how a main character got his tatoos.
That being said, I ended up liking tonight’s episode more than I thought I would.
