Screw Lost. I want to talk about Fringe. Here’s a show I derided all season. Kept starting and restarting more times than the Lohan/Ronson debacle. Was on again/off again more times than Ross and Rachel. (Who? What?) And then I settled down and started watching it again a few weeks back – largely buoyed by…
After five seasons, I’ve cracked the formula to a Lost season-ender. We always get the finale in 3 acts. The penultimate episode always serves as Act 1 – using the hour to set the board and push all of the pieces in motion. Then, we get served a 2 hour opus that leaves us staggered…
A few weeks back, I confessed to my on again, off again relationship with Fringe – JJ Abrams other cool little sci-fi enterprise airing over on Fox. At the time I mentioned that I have been picking it up and dropping it several times over the season as everything about its pedigree hits me right…
Sorry for the late-ish post. My handy dandy screen cap site decided to sleep in again this morning – meaning I had to put this on the backburner. Sure, I had the words crafted, but without the pretty pics, the piece just doesn’t feel whole. I have to keep this site nice and visual for…
Earlier this season, I gave Lost co-creator JJ Abrams’ new show, Fringe, a two episode try-out. I was a huge X-Files fan and, of course, really dig Abrams’ myth-building skills (as evidenced by my devotion to this property) – so this show seemed right in my wheel house. Well, two episodes in and I couldn’t…
Oh how I wish my Lost recap had landed on April 1st. I would have treated you all to an in-depth dissertation of Sin City – that made for Skinemax soft-core smut that I’ve stumbled upon once or twice or repeatedly. So many mysteries to ponder in that one. Alas, we had to settle for…
This whole season I’ve been claiming that there are 16 episodes for Season 5 and 16 for Season 6 – and then done. I just took a look at a site that keeps the schedule of upcoming episodes and it looks like they’ve added one for this season. According to the latest schedule, Episode 17…
Like those crafty numbers, strange forces are conspiring to prevent me from getting these weekly dispatches into your grubby little mitts. Two weeks ago, alongside episode 5.8 ‘LaFleur‘, my trusty screencap site decided to withhold the crucial giant statue shot. And then this week, the island’s influence infected my DVR and chose, among the…
[UPDATED - My main man OB1 (aka Sean) has come through with a shot of the statue. I've added it below). You know what? We needed a breather. And that’s what last night’s Sawyer-centric episode delivered. A chance for us to slow down a bit and get our bearings straight. And in the end, it...
I always try to lead with some non-sequitor (or at least, something that isn’t a direct commentary on the actual show content) so we’ll go with this. I’m really digging Lost’s placement on the schedule. Wednesday nights at 9:00 p.m. just does a great job of bisecting the week for me. I find myself beginning…
