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 »

Year in consumables: 2006 games

Gears of War boxPromises, promises…

You know, I said I’d have this posted by March first, but things got out of hand at work this week due to Daylight Savings Time. You know about that, right? Well, work got in the way of proper sleep, television viewing — ‘cept Lost and Heroes — and blogging.

So, I won’t bore you with the details of that, but instead bore you with the third and final installment of my 2006 Year in Consumables series. You can read the music and movie posts in the archives.

By my count, I have rocked se7en games on the 360 this year. Okay, it was really ten, but demos of Contra and the... Continue reading »

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

Lost heroes

Last night’s episode of Heroes was written by Jeph Loeb. Mr. Loeb is a kick ass comic book writer, but also a former Supervising Producer on Lost.

Anyway, not only did the episode feature a cameo by the main Marvel man, Stan Lee, but this nod to Lost by Nathan Petrelli:

“I’d round us all up. Stick us in a lab on some… island in the middle of the ocean.”

A sly nod to all the island’s inhabitants having power like Desmond?

Lost: Flashes Before Your Eyes

Almost a week later, I have posted my comments on this episode over on Ed’s post at The Ed Zone. I don’t know if it is because of the brain cramp Desmond’s story is causing or the fact that he has the same 25 year-old microwave that I do…

Lost: Not in Portland

Continuing my practice of commenting on Ed’s post with my thoughts about each new episode of Lost, here’s the first of the *Spring season.*

I gotta say, watching it on a larger HD set — I now have a 46″ LCD — is way better than the smaller 27″ HD tube set. Not only do I get a little more real estate, the colors pop way better. That opening scene of Juliet on the beach was beautiful…

Lost series finale

Did anyone else pick up on the throwaway line in this week’s Entertainment Weekly about ABC’s “news of a potential series finale for Lost” in their portion of the recent presentation to the journalists at the Television Critics Association press tour?

Cost too much money? Did the producers run out of ideas on how to keep it going? Thoughts? Rumors?

Lost: I Do

Ed has finally posted about “I Do” over at the Ed Zone. You know, if he really does get this far behind, we’ll be reading about the season ender just before the start of season four…

I kid, but he did promise it by the weekend. I suspect he’s busy like the rest of us and it has coincided with a lull in wanting to blog.

Anyway, my comments are on the post. The summary for me is, while we got a couple new items to ponder in Jacob and Alex, it wasn’t the cliffhanger I was hoping for, so I’ll be looking forward to the restart in February, but not dying for it to come.

Lost: The Cost of Living

Since “Tellyman” is probably dead, I decided I will post an Aside with a link to my thoughts on each episode of Lost as I leave them on Ed’s posts over at The Ed Zone. So, here are my comments on “The Cost of Living.”

I just watched “I Do” tonight, so get with the posting already Ed!

In the meantime, was Tellyman killed by his arch-nemesis, Google Lad, or simply kidnapped? I suppose time will tell…
