Meet Kevin Johnson.
So now we know how Michael came to be Ben’s mole on the ship. And, in what was a first for the series, almost the entire episode was devoted to his flashback. We needed the extra time as Michael… errr Kevin Johnson… has been a busy guy in the month since he left [...]
Can you believe we are one episode away from the break - and only six away from season’s end? Where’d the time go?
Well, if I had some minor criticisms last week with the narrative flow, this week all was restored - even if I did feel that the writers employed a narrative cheat in telling [...]
Last year, one of my favorite episodes was ‘Not in Portland’. This was the episode that filled in Juliet’s back story and showed us how the good doctor came to the island. We got to see Ben’s Brave New World through her virgin eyes and really experience the wonder of the island and the community [...]

Sometime I envy those people who have the will power to wait the season out and catch it all on DVD. After episodes like last night’s, the wait between installments can seem endless. It must be nice to just sit down and catch them all one after another. Alas, I lack that restraint.
That said, there’s [...]
Before I dive into this week’s analysis, I thought I’d provide a little public service announcement and point you to this week’s edition of Entertainment Weekly which provides a pretty illuminating talk with Lost producers – Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof. Although JJ Abrams created the show, it’s Cuse and Lindelof who have really shaped [...]
In what’s becoming a regular feature of these Lost post-mortems, I offer up my latest intel on the post-strike landscape. Here’s what I’m hearing is the definitive plan for the rest of the season.

Many believe that the strike will officially come to an end this weekend - when the Writer’s Guild meets with its members. By Monday morning, [...]

How great is it to have our show back – although Lost’s triumphant return is tinged with a touch of melancholy as well know that the Writer’s Strike has effectively sliced this season’s 16 Episode Arc into 8. You’ll recall that last season, producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton [...]
You’re gonna’ be sorry.
If there is one lesson that I aught to tattoo upon my brain, it’s don’t get wrapped up in first class quality television. The more original, the more daring, the more compelling – the more likely a program is tossed aside in favor of cheaper, less risky, easy-to-digest mass market morsels of [...]
In honor of Homer and his clan’s long awaited arrival to the big screen, I decided to offer up a special edition of the ‘My Favorite Things’ series.
The format for this edition is going to be a little different than prior installments. Rather than grace y’all with the details of why a particular episode hit [...]
