I was struck this week by how perfect the music is on Lost. I think it came to mind because I finally watched, “There Will Be Blood” last weekend (why did everyone flip out about that milkshake line? I mean,Read more…
24: A tale of two episodes
The last two hours of 24 – 11 p.m. to 12 a.m. and 12 a.m. to 1 a.m. – have been both exhiliarating and a crapfest. Don’t get me wrong, there were some fantastic moments in last night’s episode –Read more…
Lost: The Substitute
One of many things I love about Lost is that they are so meticulous about titling their episodes. “The Substitute” works on so many levels. Most obviously, Locke finds his calling, perhaps, as a substitute teacher (I’ll get to BenRead more…

As usual, my brain hurt (in a good way) after watching Lost this week. Though it didn’t REALLY answer any questions, it did start to go in that direction, I thought. I have trouble recapping Lost in any sort ofRead more…
24: Can you say, “Awesometastic,” boys and girls?
OK, let me start by saying that the entirety of Monday night’s episode was about as far from Awesometastic as you can get. In fact, I almost fell asleep a couple of times. Or would have, anyway, if I hadn’tRead more…
Caprica: Rebirth
The fascinating thing about a prequel is that it can answer so many questions. In the case of Caprica, there were many questions never answered by Battlestar Galactica, and it appears we are getting those explanations. Starting to, at least.Read more…
Lost: LA X
First, let me just say this about Lost’s return to the airwaves for its final season: Wow. Forgetting for a moment all the questions it answered and new ones it raised, I find myself continually amazed at the skill ofRead more…
