If anyone kept up at all with the Lost online stuff, the Faraday reveal wasn't a surprise (in fact, I think they threw in a little joke earlier. When Marvin sits in front of the camera, another man is holding the clapboard in front of the cameraman's face, implying that the reveal of that cameraman will be important.…

I'm jealous, if you live in Hawaii.

Well, Desmond is miraculous. It seems he can't change what has happened, but he can receive messages from the past and act on them in the present. He just can't change the future when the future is the present because he's in the past. Ouch, I just got a nosebleed.

Maybe I wasn't clear - I'm all on board with Ben killing the heck out of Keamy. But he knew that ending his life, as opposed to knocking him out and tying him up somewhere, would blow up the freighter. He had just sent Kate and Sayid there, and probably had at least an inkling that other Losties were heading over. …

Hey, I hated this show before any of y'all - I caught the pilot at Comic-Con. But it has grown into itself nicely, and besides the mentioned-above sexual tension, there really isn't anything about it that doesn't entertain me at least somewhat. It's in the Supernatural, Psych, The Big Bang Theory strata of shows for…

The actress was Ari Graynor. I recognize her from a short stint on "Veronica Mars" - one or two episodes. I think she was the daughter of the bus driver. I know she was also on a Law and Order: SVU, but who wasn't? I'm pretty sure I was in one of those episodes.

The other thing that Ben did was kill Keamy, which I think is a more unambiguously evil act than killing the Dharma (since we don't really know Dharma's deal, and the Lost Experience stuff points to them being up to some naughty shit.) Killing Keamy basically ensured the deaths of innocents, and was completely…

cauda, that's a good observation. I'm not dying for a child actor in the mix, but that's a much more likely reason for all the weirdness than her sister having time to be a spy and a single mom. Everything about their interactions was giving me flashbacks to Alias, where, literally, everybody was a spy (except for…

The one thing this show could do to endear itself to me forever is to lose the Peter loves Olivia angle. They have great friend, brother/sister chemistry, and I usually enjoy their scenes together. But the forced romantic tension is one of the show's most pedestrian aspects. Peter has nice chemistry with Astrid -…

I don't care if it was scientifically sound, it was frakking gross. I have not been able to stop thinking about it all morning - I keep feeling a tightness in my throat. When TV effects hit you on a visceral level, someone is doing something right.

That was a good moment, well-played by both of them. Olivia knows Samantha is full of shit, but she's just not down with shooting an unarmed woman who may just be a brainwashed housewife. Samantha totally knows she has Olivia right there, and plays her even though her act isn't that convincing.

This was a great Walter episode, in large part because he wasn't in it that much. Pretty much all of his lines were perfect.

Wait, is HIMYM in the traditional sitcom bucket? It has some very conventional angles, but also a lot of meta-ness. Is Christine actually better?

Dude, that's it. He played an autistic kid on The 4400. Thank you!

My So-Called Life had a season finale that worked as a show ender. Angela gets what she wants, then almost immediately realizes it's probably the wrong thing. Adolescence in a nutshell.

They're also trying way to hard to connect one of the doctors to the patient in a very literal way. Not just "I get where they're coming from", but "I have experienced the exact same thing in the exact same way, and in fact I was wearing that same shirt." It's not necessary, and repetitive in an un-fun way.

That pretty much sums it up, although I enjoyed the soapy melodrama of the first season. I gave up on season 2.

If I remember correctly, the consensus in the Pushing Daisies forum was that the production costs for that beautiful televised eye-candy was sort of a lot, much more than any cable channel would ever have been able to afford. I'm sure many of us would have still loved it on a lower budget, but the show as-is cost an…

The idea of watching beautiful, cinematic Pushing Daisies on my crappy little laptop screen is really throwing a black cloud over an otherwise pleasant day. I guess I'll just wait for the comics.

Who was that kid? He was in something else, fairly recently I think. I'd check, but I'm at work, posting on the sly. He was so, so familiar, though..did he play the autistic kid on House a few seasons ago?
