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, really!) and the soundtrack reminded me of Lost. It wasn’t so much that the music [...]

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 – Jack’s defense of Renee, his Jack Sack adjustment, his being freed even though he’d just [...]

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 Ben later. Yowza!). But then there’s the idea of the substitute Locke on the Island. He’s [...]

The most interesting thing, to me, about Reins of a Waterfall, is that we started, finally, to see the Joseph Adama who was hinted at in Battlestar Galactica. Up to this point, the Joseph Adams/Adama we’ve seen in Caprica is a family man. Sure, he’s related to a major crime family, but he’s the legit [...]

Or something like that. Yes, Supernatural has been picked up for a Season 6. It’s going to be hard to improve on this season (though I admit, I’m a couple episodes behind). It’s no secret that I wouldn’t have been disappointed if this were the last season, purely for story purposes. So long as the [...]

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 of normal way – I suppose that’s because it’s anything but a normal show, so I’m [...]

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’t been liveblogging. But that 30 seconds or so — you know what I’m talking about [...]

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. For one, why did the Cylons believe in one god rather than many? Well, Zoe [...]

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 of the writers, actors, directors – hell, even the Best Boy deserves an Emmy so far [...]
