Getting Lost: “Cabin Fever” Review

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg What did we learn from last night’s episode of Lost? Well, for one thing, this cat Keamy is a bad mother — sorry, I was talkin’ about Shaft. But Keamy is not one to be trifled with. Or to be in close proximity to. Just ask the doctor. We also saw Ben reduced to sharing a candy bar with Hurley on the sidelines while Locke sought answers from Jacob. It sucks not to be the Island’s chosen one anymore, doesn’t it, Ben? And we also learned that Richard Alpert is a man with a plan […]

One Tree Hill: The Slippery Slope Continues 16

Posted by: haro1d Royal Tenenbaum once said, “I’m dying, Etheline. I’m sick as a dog. I’ll be dead in six weeks.” Or something like that. This week OTH delved deeply into the “Dan is dying” issue. But before we get into that, an update on what else went down in Tree Hill: Peyton tried to convince Lindsey that Lucas only has eyes for her (Lindsey, that is). Lindsey subsequently tried to convince Peyton to read Lucas’ new manuscript, giving it to her without Lucas’ consent and in the process violating virtually every sacrosanct moral/ethical law for publishers, not to mention […]

Getting Lost: “Cabin Fever” Preview

As usual, Lost has been pretty confusing lately. For every answer we get, a whole batch of new questions arise. But one thing we’re sure about, is that the last few episodes of this season are going to be awesome — beginning with this week’s “Cabin Fever,” which takes us back to the freighter to see what’s up with Desmond, Sayid and Michael. Any episode with Desmond in it is sure to be a good one, but we really get the feeling that there are some major doin’s a-transpiring. For a hint as to what those might be, check out […]

Getting Lost: “Something Nice Back Home” Review

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg One week Bernard knows Morse code. The next Charlotte speaks Korean. Is it too much to ask that next week someone uncovers a secret in Pig Latin? This episode seemed to deal with some pretty big issues that will likely be at the forefront during the last few episodes of the season. Some new characters, and some previously minor characters, seem poised to play a pretty big role in the overall story arc, which is a sign that this has been a good season, particularly for an abbreviated one. Just think, if Miles had been […]

One Tree Hill: The Slippery Slope Continues 15

Posted by: haro1d And the knot gets pulled just a little tighter. But that’s about it. The quick recap: Li’l James had a birthday. Brooke (and Peyton, by extension) found out that being a mom isn’t all cutesy bootsies — there are diaper wipers, crying and projectile vomiting, too. Peyton’s recording studio was in the works, Skills was harboring guilt for letting the wicked nanny take off with Jamie at Lucas’ would-be wedding and Millicent let her new roommates know that she could be one of the guys. Jamie’s birthday had a triple dose of creepiness: Deb hired a clown. […]

Getting Lost: “Something Nice Back Home” Preview

ABC has been running previews for this week’s episode that contain the line, “The island takes one survivor for its own.” Does that mean that another character will be meeting an untimely end, a week after we said goodbye to Alex (not to mention three random members of Locke’s camp who were too stupid to listen to Sawyer — and the sound of gunfire — and stay inside their house)? Maybe, although it’s a pretty open-ended statement. Still, after watching the previews below, we’d be a little worried if we were Claire, Sawyer or Miles. Here are the unanswered questions […]

Getting Lost: “The Shape of Things to Come” Review

Posted by Mike and johhnysweeptheleg Wow. There’s a lot to digest from last night’s episode, “The Shape of Things to Come,” so we’ll just say that it’s great to have the show back. Now, let’s get down to business. johnnysweeptheleg’s Lost In A Moment: We know what the writers were doing during the winter-long strike. Instead of growing beards like Conan and Dave, they perused the Lost blogs and read all the whining over the balance of questions versus answers. If you like things getting blow’d up and shot at, you loved last night’s Lost.

One Tree Hill: The Slippery Slope Continues 14

Posted by: haro1d Well, another One Tree Hill episode down … and the drama continues to unfold. In case you missed it, here’s the OTH rundown for this week: Haley threw caution to the wind and submitted a demo to Peyton’s label. They’re making an album together — and by mixing business with friendship have jeopardized their relationship without knowing it. Nathan is trying to get back on the basketball court, but Quentin — fresh from the doctor’s office after Lucas forced him to go back for a second hand exam — was so unpleasant on the court with him, […]

Getting Lost: “The Shape of Things to Come” Preview

Well, that wasn’t so bad. Lost‘s mini-hiatus comes to a close this week with the premiere of a new episode titled “The Shape of Things to Come. ” If the following preview clip is any indication, that shape is a trapezoid — long known to be the most dangerous and action-packed of all the shapes. Seriously, it looks like some major stuff is about to go down on Lost island. Watch and see if you agree, then scroll down to check out our running list of unanswered questions from this season. Update: A couple of other previews have surfaced. This […]

One Tree Hill: The Slippery Slope Continues Part 13

Posted by: haro1d You thought I missed it, didn’t you? What about you? Did you miss One Tree Hill because of the day change? I didn’t, but John Lennon once said, “Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans.” What do I mean by that? Not a thing, really. OTH is fond of starting new episodes with a literary citation, so I thought I’d pull one out as well, even if it’s from a deceased Beatle instead of Walt Whitman. Let’s be honest, though — by now, you’ve either seen Monday’s episode or you’ve read someone […]
