Its about three weeks left until my two favorite shows leave the television world forever =[. Lets review their latest episodes shall we?
LOST

Alrighty! So its all about... a "light." But not just any light- the light that controls all that there is on the island: life, death, rebirth. Its the warmest, most beautiful light that any man has known- so much so that everyone tries to take it. However, if one goes into the light, horrible, smoke-y things will happen to them. From the reaction of facebook friends after the episode, I guess this has a mixed reaction.
But for me, I loved this episode. Granted I can't say that I've been a huge Lost fan ever since the beginning, but it gave me a lot of insight to who Jacob and the Man in Black are. So far it seems as though Jacob has been made out to be this calm, worldly, all-knowing being... which he is, but this episode shows him in a not-so-glorious light (ha). In this episode, Jacob seems weak, naive, loyal, and submissive; while the MIB fares much better. I sympathized with him, felt for him, and almost hated Jacob when he killed him. I mean, come on, your mother WAS crazy.
But was the crazy really all for good? What is the light's significance across the world? Does it harness ALL of the world's life... or just the islands?
What did I hate about the episode? Yes, some of the acting wasn't something you would call... "good." I think the mother's death was probably one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen in my life... but what did she mean when she thanked MIB for killing her? It seemed as though she hated watching over that light and didn't feel bad at all giving the job to Jacob.
Also: I'm sorry J.J. Abrams but that little flashback proves nothing about how you knew the whole scheme from the beginning. I mean, I'm totally down to believe that he and the writers knew what was going on, but the rocks and the dead man and woman didn't really do it for me. Plus, reports say that Ben's character wasn't even suppose to last more than a few episodes, then with fan reaction, he stays until the end. That's totally improvising... how am I suppose to trust you haven't done that the whole season?
Nevertheless, I love this show and I'm totally down for the light concept. I feel as though there is more to tell about it and I'm excited for the last couple weeks *tear*
There's nothing really too crazy about the show to try to explain... just watch it yourself:
Now,
24
SPOILER ALERT
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE EPISODE AIRED ON 5/11/10
BE WARNED
Another pretty decent episode, getting ready to end the series on an intense note. Unfortunately, Jack has to survive for the freakin' movie, BUT, i'm excited because its not going to be a happy-go-lucky ending. And from the looks of NEXT week's episode with a confrontation with Charles Logan, who knows what'll happen.
-Thank GOODNESS Dana died. I was waiting for it and was hoping Jack wasn't going to cop out. We are starting to see a mixture of old Jack, and this new side of him which he has never gone to before. Lets discuss how Dana's death was VERY similar to Nina's death back in season... 3? It had to be obviously, for both Dana and Nina were involved in killing two loves of Jack's life... very symbolic.
-Guh, I HATE Logan's bitch boy.... his name escapes me but anyone who watches the show knows who I'm talking about. His character just bothers me in general... which I guess is good.
-Thank goodness Milo has balls now
-I'm just so disappointed in the President. I wish she could just dig herself out of this hole she's gotten herself into. How awkward was it watching Logan proposal to get her to say something good about him on air? So slick...I love it.
-One again Gregory Itzin is amazing
-It was so weird to see Jack torturing this Russian operative. It was different, you (the viewer) really started to see how Jack has lost it. How killing Renee, after all eight seasons, was the one thing that sent him over the edge. What was different about Jack was that he was not like the evil guys, killing without mercy, but now its different and a little scary.
RIP Dana... you bitch
BASICALLY, I'm excited to see how the finales go. Get yo' popcorn ready.
