LOST is the only show I can think of where I can tell people who haven't seen it "watch through episode 5. If, after the fifth episode, you still can't fathom why it was popular, if moving on to the next ep feels anything like work…..then don't. It's not for you. No harm, no foul".
Unlike so many other shows, LOST was

Whatever you do, stay away from "Fringe".

I kept thinking that the FBI agent across the street was just like nosy Mrs. Kravitz on "Bewitched", only instead of uncovering witchy mischief, he peeks in his new neighbor's window and sees them torturing that secretary, before nice Mrs. Jennings discovers him and caps him in the head execution style, and they dump

I give this comment 5 Meryl Streeps!

When I first heard the casting for Asylum, that they had jettisoned the "big names" (except for Lange of course) and were elevating Paulson, Rabe and Peters to lead roles, I was kind of disappointed. I remember thinking "wow, this show went D-List quick!"

More like Walter Bishop, amirite?

Also- Fuck you, The Killing.

So, a Ryan Murphy show?

There's places that deliver burritos?

ALL THE LIKES for "Phantom of the Paradise". Such a great, fun movie, with kickass Paul Williams songs. And he was perfectly cast as Swan. I loved all the sight gags about his height. Introducing Jessica Harper! And perfect, perfect editing by Paul Hirsch.

"Tommy" is exhausting because all of its knobs go to 11, all the time. It's maybe the loudest movie ever made. But it's way high up on my list of favorite Ken Russell movies. The production design is amazing- all those circles throughout, tying into the "it ends where it began" structure of the film itself. It was the

Ahhhhhh. I came in here for the sweet, sweet bliss of a good "Fuck you, The Killing", and Scrawler did not disappoint.

"If this film were a person, it would wear a Fez, oversized gold
sunglasses with “TCB” emblazoned on the side, a Hawaiian shirt, Bermuda
shorts, and outsized platform shoes. It would smoke clove cigarettes
from a pearl cigarette holder. In other words, it would be an
aggregation of kitschy, tongue-in-cheek

"Logan's Run". Futuristic boobs.

That's one reunion we WON'T see in the finale.

God I miss Alexandra Breckenridge. Why couldn't they have cast her as a sexy orderly, or the young version of the Angel of Death that only the horny men see?

Another vote for FD2 as the best in the series.

When fans answer the question "what's the worst episode of LOST?", the 2 eps that top the list are always "Stranger in a Strange Land" (the tattoo ep) and "Fire + Water" (Charlie goes crazy and decides to baptize Aaron for some reason).

I watched LOST seasons 1-4 straight through on DVD (literally in 9 days) before the start of season 5, when I started watching as it aired.
