Television
Posts about the crap I watch on the telly. At least it is the fake, scripted kind and not the reality, scripted kind.
Lost: Through the Looking Glass
Well, it’s a good thing that I watched this live in HD because Media Center conspired against me again and only recorded up until 10.40. Nice. I might need to get a DVR from Comcast.
So, I left a really long comment on Ed’s post today. I thought I should make it a standalone post here due to the length, but that would go against what I have done here this year, plus it would make it hard to match up the numbers (if you are so inclined).
Gotta say, sure did like watching Bonnie and Greta tool on the Hobbit. Sure did not like the continuing trend of killing off the island’s hotties though…
And with that, I’m out. Can’t wait for next season.
Lost: Greatest Hits
In a way, I helped write Ed’s latest post on Lost, as well as left my comments there. I told him Friday that I couldn’t wait for him to post because I had a theory I wanted to share. I reluctantly told him it then so long as he promised not to steal it as his own… what do you know, he gave me credit for it. He still hasn’t given me credit for a joke he has used a couple times, a variation actually appears in that very post, but I’m not sour… nope, not me. 😉
As for this aside’s continuation of the running joke, I’ll go with Ed’s suggestion for the two groupies sharing the bed with Charlie in his flashy, although Claire was looking pretty cute.
Hmm… this guy has to die.
Lost: The Man Behind the Curtain
We’re off to read the comments, the wonderful comments of Sean…
Yeah, well, what are you going to do. Hey, instead of beating the old joke to death by commenting on a beautiful baby, let me say that Samantha Mathis is looking a bit rough these days. Man, she’s a long way gone from her turn on Harsh Realm (alongside John Locke). If you didn’t catch her, she was Horace’s chica at the start and also Ben’s school teacher on the island.
Oh, and I didn’t say it there, but I will here, I agree that Locke ain’t dead. I just forgot to over there in my rush to watch tonight…
Lost: The Brig
Ed busted out two posts last Sunday for the two episodes of Lost previous to tonight. Get that?
Anyway, I busted out some comments before watching tonight’s, so here are my comments about “The Brig” and I’d comment about the ladies, but I don’t remember who was looking particularly fine that night, so we’ll go with Kate for old times sake… oh wait, didn’t she start off the episode in Sawyer’s arms? Ick!
SportsCenter top ten
Joe passed along a link to someone’s top 10 SportsCenter commercials post. It has YouTube linked vids. Wally and Ortiz made the list, so I thought it was appropriate to post here given I posted on that recently.

You’ll have to copy and paste the URI… I don’t want any traffic from these guys… they report on futbol.
Lost: D.O.C.
It’s funny, Ed wrote pretty much everything I would hit on with respect to this episode, so I thought I wouldn’t write that much, but then… I did. Anyway, my comments are on his post as per the usual.
For another usual… Sun was looking right fit helping Kate with her tent, am I right? Jin is a lucky fictional man…
Lost: Catch-22
Ed has posted about the Desmond-centric episode, Catch-22. It features the origin of “Brother” and a lovely appearance by the dear Penny.
You know I can no longer write one of these without mentioning one of the ladies, right? It’s a joke at this point… I’m not a drooling fanboy… okay, maybe a little bit, but at least I’m not trolling message boards… yet.
Anyway, there’s also a bit of Photoshop action that even Michael Scott could do a better job of…
Angry Alec
I’m sorry that Alec Baldwin went off on his daughter via voice-mail and it was subsequently leaked to the press… but, why does it have to mean an end to his wonderful stint on NBC’s recently renewed 30 Rock? For all we know, he already wanted out before this happened, but if it helped nudge him, then that sux.
I watch the show for his performance alone — I am willing to bet so don’t a lot of other folks — so does NBC keep him locked knowing that fact, thus leading to bad shows, or let him out and try to replace him? When has that ever worked? If he’s out, NBC would be better off reneging on the deal.
UPDATE: A comment is brewing from me, but I figured I’d post a follow up that E! has posted about Baldwin’s appearance on The View and some stuff that Dr. Phil guy had to say on the matter…
Four jacks
Juice sent a link out via e-mail tonight and I figured I’d post it — you need to read the full post to get the link — for the two of you probably not on his e-mail list. It is the new SportsCenter clip of David Ortiz and Jorge Posada. If it isn’t the first video in the player/list, look for it. It is entitled “Betrayal.” Wally’s reaction is priceless.
I almost wish I didn’t see this, because while funny and clever, it is a little disturbing. I mean, the thought that Papi thought it was okay to ever put on a Yankee cap, whether for fun or not, isn’t sitting well with me. Good thing for us he’ll never wear one where it counts.
Anyone else see the irony of a DH giving hat advice to a catcher? He’s the only other guy not wearing a hat full-time since he never sees the field (outside an interleague game).
For a little payback, I’d like to see Jason Giambi trying to give Jason Varitek advice on hats…... Continue reading »
Lost: One of Us
It bears repeating here since this is how my comments have been going lately, but Juliet is “now my favorite island hottie by far, but she did make me puke in my mouth a little bit by being in bed with Goodwin.”
Read the rest of my more intelligent — maybe — comments on this episode over on The Ed Zone.
