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: Left Behind
If you read the previous Aside, I go on about the Women of Lost. Well, this episode features a little mud wrestling between Kate and Juliet… Mmm… what was I saying?
Lost: Expose
You know, I think I probably sound like a major, drooling fanboy in going on about the Women of Lost — yeah, sounds like a layout in a bunny mag — but, killing off Nikki was both brilliant and gutt wrenching… well, that general area anyway…
Lost: The Man From Tallahassee
Okay, you know I haven’t been doing a good job keeping up with my blog or others when you realize two weeks later that you didn’t read a post you were about to comment on…
Anyway, my comments on the Locke-centric episode are on The Ed Zone.
Lost: Par Avion
Man, Claire was looking mighty fine with that black dye job. I actually forgot to comment on her flashback in my comments on Ed’s post, but it was sort of fluffy. I mean, we all figured out she was Jack’s half-sister in Ana Lucia’s flashback, right?
Lost: Enter 77
Certainly one of the stronger flashbacks of this season, right up there with Desmond and Juliet’s. For the rest of my thoughts, check out Ed’s post over on The Ed Zone.
Office newpeats
Taking the repeat to the next level, Greg Daniels and The Office are adding in deleted scenes for upcoming reruns. Good idea.
Lost: Tricia Tanaka is Dead
Laughed ridiculously hard when Mr. Clucks was obliterated, but otherwise, this episode was mediocre at best. Here are my comments on Ed’s post.
Tellyman returns
Not really, no.
Well, not in so much a way as before?
Ah, who cares, it is just a post about some televisionic observations I have had of late (and maybe later…).
So, I was watching Heroes last night, which has been so very good the past three epsiodes, and NBC is running ads for their newest show sure to fail, Raines. Now, was the pitch for this show something along the lines of “let’s put Medium, Tru Calling and The Ghost Whisperer in the blender and sprinkle with a little bit of Monk… oh, and we’ll get Jeff Goldblum!” Really?
Anyone else watching The Black Donnelly’s? I feel compelled to watch, you know, as an Irishman… yeah. Well, if you are, do we really need Joey Ice Cream as a narrator? The sudden insertion of himself into a scene, with subsequent character reaction, is unnecessary and seems forced as a way to try and distinguish the storytelling as unique or different. The story being told does the job just fine… which is to say, mediocre at best. Not sure this one is going to fair much better than S... Continue reading »
Busy bomb squad
It would seem the Boston Bomb Squad is a little overzealous again in blowing up harmless objects. Of course, I don’t think this thing was flipping them off like a Mooninite…
Lost: Stranger in a Strange Land
Continuing the practice of posting an Aside with a link to my comments about Ed’s post on an epsiode of Lost…
