This time of year is always bittersweet. As our favorite shows come to an end, we look ahead to the summer and see nothing but a vacant wasteland – the color of television tuned to a dead channel. At the same token, we see bright sunny days meaning we can actually get our collective asses off the couch and actually enjoy some fresh air for a change.
And the loss of Lost means I don’t have to feel the pressure of my fierce editors (that would be you, you demanding Constant Readers) bellowing at me to produce this week’s installment of my weekly observations the moment the clock hits 11:00 p.m. EST Thursday eve.
That said, we know that when the last moment ticks off the two hour season finale scheduled to air on Thursday May 29th that unlike most other shows, we have a long wait ahead of us. May 29th... Continue reading »

I think I’m coming down with Cabin Fever.
It’s episodes like last night mythology heavy installment, Cabin Fever, that prove how intricately plotted and dramatically dense this show can be. This is why I watch the show. While getting answers can be rewarding, sometimes it’s more fun to keep tunneling down the rabbit’s hole. As long as you feel faith in the show’s creators to keep the narrative on track, it can be deliriously invigorating to be plopped in the midst of mystery with scant clues to go on and try to work your way back to some semblance of a clue. That’s why I got hooked on Twin Peaks two decades ago and why I spent the better part of the 90’s paging through The X-Files.
And it’s why I grooved on every little morsel and clue doled out in last night’s Locke-centric Cabin Fever... Continue reading »

Whew. Made it to the end. Next up I’m going to tackle a 300 page dissertation of Gossip Girl. Anyone know what channel it’s on? By anyone, I mean Sean.
The good news with this post is we are now days away from Lost’s triumphant return. Lost’s return marks the beginning of May Sweeps which means Summer is right around the corner. I an ready for some warm weather, stat. I’ve got to get out of this house and away from the PC and TV – get some UV.
So far, we’ve tackled the Smoke Monster, the Numbers, Jacob, the Hatches, the Orientation Tapes, Charles Widemore/Alvar Hanso, The Island’s Healing Powers, Time Anomalies and the mysterious Walt. Today I offer up the three final mysteries.
On with the show.

I don’t know why I cook these mini-series up. Sometimes I think I bite off more than I can chew. Trying to sum up a series, spanning 4 seasons thus far and spawning infinite mysteries, all to boil it down to 4 posts is asinine. Plus, there’s always that pesky Writer’s Block sneaking around my block, shaking its fist and threatening to steal all my valuable thoughts. If only I could just quit the Nine-to-Five and set to work wordsmithing then I wouldn’t feel like my brain was straining to just shut itself down at the end of each day.
Oh well, I got myself into this mess. I might as well work my way through. Hopefully you guys are grooving on this little exercise aimed at keeping us Lost obsessed as we weather this brief hiatus.
