No, this won’t be quite the rant I did last week, just thoughts since watching tonight’s episode of “Lost.” In particular I thought tonight’s Eko-centric episode was far better than last week’s, but most of this is just braindump. Maybe some ranting. And oh yeah, huge spoilers. Huge spoilers ahead, don’t say I didn’t warn… Continue reading More Lost braindump

Lost rant (four episodes in)
Okay, I’ve managed to hold out for the first four episodes of “Lost” this season, but after tonight I couldn’t resist it any longer. It’s a rant. It’s gonna be spoilerish, and long-winded, usual disclaimers apply, etc. etc. Only click through if you’re ready.
The Dirty Screech
On the one hand, I want to say, “who knew it would come to this,” but on the other, well, it figures: Dustin Diamon, AKA Screech from “Saved by the Bell,” is the latest celebrity to have a sex tape released to the public. See also stories on TMZ.com here, here, and here. That last… Continue reading The Dirty Screech
Deadwood!
Deadwood is back (as of last Sunday)! I loves me my Deadwood! I just had to point that out. That, and say, it’s about time somebody beat Farnum to a bloody pulp…
Lost’s season finale book
Haven’t seen a book on Lost in awhile, but they managed to slip one into the season finale tonight: Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens. Not that it was hard to spot; Desmond only waved it around enough in a bunch of critical scenes. As far as the season finale itself goes… I’m still trying… Continue reading Lost’s season finale book
What happens if Jack Bauer doesn’t like me anymore?
Since it’s 24 night, I thought I’d share this quote I thought was hilarious (emphasis mine): As an actor, you want to be loved or liked, and when the guy you’re playing suddenly turns evil, you feel marginalized. It sounds silly to verbalize, but you start thinking, ‘What happens if Jack Bauer, America’s avenging angel,… Continue reading What happens if Jack Bauer doesn’t like me anymore?
The Skittles beard commercial
Okay, just a little while ago I saw the creepiest, randomest commercial for Skittles ever… I won’t even pretend to try to understand it… Anyone else seen it? Basically, a guy with a weird, long (like, three-feet-plus long) beard is at a job interview, and the beard is moving like an elephant’s trunk, feeding the… Continue reading The Skittles beard commercial
Lost book: Judy Blume
It’s like my regular Lost Book Watch feature or something. Anyway, right there on the screen in your face, Judy Blume’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. I don’t know that it has anything to do with the overall theme or plot of the show; since Sawyer was reading it, I rather suspect the… Continue reading Lost book: Judy Blume
Jack Bauer Facts
If you enjoyed the Chuck Norris Facts site, and like the TV show 24, well then, this is the perfect mashup for you: Random Jack Bauer Facts. Same exact premise (some are even lifted from the Chuck Norris Facts!), and some are really funny: The city of Los Angeles once named a street after Jack… Continue reading Jack Bauer Facts
Tonight’s Lost book
Just had to point it out (even my wife noticed it): this week’s book on Lost was The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It’s going on the list…
