Hey, I'm just bitter because tonight's "ripped from the headlines" aspect made it a little too close to an episode of "Law & Order" for my tastes.

This show is really, truly, completely original. JJ Abrams has created a masterpiece with this show set around a mysterious island where an entire group of people apparently just disappeared into thin air. Throw in time travel and Hugo Reyes as a comic-book loving nerd who potentially holds the answers to the whole…

I'm not sure how they'll do that—almost all the most famous inmates were transferred before the closing. The only way to do this is to have some convoluted plot point where the disappearances were starting to happen before 1963, and the warden was involved in covering them up.

Darren Did It
He killed this show.

I would totally watch a spin-off of The Killing called The Holder Show. Hopefully, on that TV program, they focus on the damn murder mystery, instead of wasting the viewer's time with a bunch of irrelevant nonsense that has nothing to do with anything.

Three Bald Guys and Lou
Sounds like the best spin-off ever.

Just do what I do and remind yourself that you fell in love with it at One Midtown Kitchen.

Fois Gras Ice Cream
I'm craving some now. It may sound gross, but unless you've had Blais foie gras milkshake at FLIP Burger in Atlanta, you don't know what you're missing.

Lostie!
I'm surprised no one has noticed all the various Lost references in this show:

The Best Part of My Wednesday
Reading reviews of Glee has replaced my reading reviews of Heroes. All the fun of a bad review, none of the pain of actually having to watch the show.

The way that line about Harry being a fairy was tossed off makes me think it might point to some significant things to come for the character. The idea that a man might be so deep in denial of his homosexuality that he wouldn't even be aware of it is completely plausible circa 1965, even though it doesn't always…

I'm surprised…
That nobody has talked about the significance of the proverb, "For Want of a Nail":

At Ivy league colleges, you need a recommendation from a graduate to even be considered for admittance. It's a simple up or down vote, and because the schools get so many applications, they would never go back to review a case just because a few months later someone who gave a no vote got involved in a sex scandal.

I watched it for the first time in a season and a half—bucking the trend!
