BE WARNED

Yeah, this post is going to be pretty short about Lost because honestly, I never got a handle on the Desmond/Penny storyline. My fellow Lostians say its pretty much its own story, and hard to wrap your mind around if you haven't been watching.

I realized how much fun it is to watch your favorite shows in a group. To instantly have a group of your peers to discuss angles of the show and possible answers to some of the series' big questions is really fun.

BUT BE WARNED: do not turn into me- an asshole who talks way too much during the show. And if you think I'm bad, just think how I must feel towards those I think talk to much, its bad. So yeah, discuss away... during commercials.

But basically, the show was just o.k. It was fun to see the adorable Desmond and the great relationship he has with Penny. And how him and Charles Widmore are friends WHAT and he's married to that weird-o woman and Farraday is back and won't stop talking about a BOMB of some sorts WHAT.

But it got a little TOO into the parallel lives storyline and not enough island action? but:

NEW LOST THEORY: near death experiences in the regular parallel life leads people to see into the island life. Happened with Desmond, Charlie (loooove him) and Farraday. Lets see how this goes.

Its too exhausting to talk about Lost. I hate it so much sometimes. I'd rather have a face to face conversation about it.

Check out the Lost website. Its become an example of how networks are just totally cashing in and hyping in on their own shows. Here is a Lost "starter kit" for idiots like me who don't know whats going on. On the ABC Lost website, there are interactive areas to help viewers get up to speed on whats happening, and viewer discussion boards so everyone can share their opinion.

if you haven't watched the episode aired on 4/5/10

BE WARNED

So basically, why is it whenever I want to breakup with my 8 year relationship with 24 it sucks me back in?! The eighth season hasn't been pulling me into the story as much as the last ones, and I haven't been as excited to watch the episodes as I use to be. When I was younger, I could bulldoze my way through a pack of buffalos if it meant reaching a television to watch 24 on Mondays. Now, its sort of like... ehhh... if I get around to watching it I will.

For one, I didn't realize that this episode would be TWO HOURS long. WTF 24 some of us have to watch your episodes on hulu sometimes. I tuned in around 8:35 (thanks random Facebook statuses!) and was IMMEDIATELY sucked in to this amazing episode:

1. President Taylor has easily become my favorite president since David Palmer (RIP). Finally the series got around after five seasons to place a level-headed president. BTW- what ever happened to Wayne Palmer? BUT ANYWAYS, President Taylor never flip flops, always does the right thing, and upholds the promises she made to millions of Americans. I was heartbroken to watch her tell Hassan's family of his death, and damn THANK YOU for slapping Roy, that little bitch deserves it...

2. and ROY. WHAT THE HELL. I don't believe he is a bad guy though, he is just trying to do what he thinks is best, a common theme for this show. If I can recall, he definitely pulled a Sherri Palmer not giving Ethan his meds while having a heart attack, which kind of pissed me off. I know its been 8 seasons, but c'mon writers, lets get creative.

3. Why does Ethan always get screwed for sticking up for the President? God forbid he does what he's suppose to do. He's old too, poor guy.

4. Renee Walker: I go back and forth on whether I like her or not. I definitely didn't at the beginning but she's starting to come around. And did ANYONE check out the sexxy scene between her and Jack for the next episode previews? rawr. However, where the fuck did that relationship come from? I need to rewatch last season because I definitely don't remember any sort of connection.

5. DANA WALSH WHYYY. Another typical 24 story line: someone from CTU is working with the terrorists? WHAT?! HOW CAN THIS BE?!!! Come on now. But I'm holding out on Jack's theory that there is a little more into the story of Dana Walsh that isn't being told. I really hope the writers don't just throw out her storyline.

6. Freddie Prinze Jr. is sexy. theend

7. HASSAN NOOOOOOOOOO. I didn't see that one coming. And we know there definitely won't be any Tony syndrome (is it sad that even though we SEE Hassan's neck cut open, I still have to assume he might still be alive?) because there was a SILENT CLOCK at the end of the episode, a 24 feature symbolizing the death of a character. That was sad, that guy ruled. AND: his accent was awesome.

8. good lord. Charles fucking Logan. Are we serious? Maybe that means Mrs. Logan is coming back which means we MIGHT see AARON aka the greatest character in 24 history. Actually, I'm kind of pumped about Charles Logan, if we remember the last time we saw him, he was having a heart attack and it went to commercial... and that was it. For some reason I really like his character, he is such a dweeb but so evil at the same time.

9. Fucking Russia

OK that's enough. I could go on about 24 forever. But to my credit- we now have to enjoy all we can because its been officially announced that it is the LAST season, and when it ends, an era of my life will be over. More about that another time, no tears tonight. JUST BED

LOST

I feel kind of like a fake Lost fan because I JUST started watching it during its last season.

But, to my credit, I watched the first season THEN I watched the hilariously confusing "catch up" show the hour before the final season premiere.

So basically, I'm a huge Lost fan.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!

Its really exhausting talking about Lost, so I won't go into detail. Plus, there are about a billion lost super-fan bulletin boards that give away big secrets and decode everything important. But basically from the episode that aired on march 30th 2010, Sun and Jin AREN'T married, but in fact in a secret relationship kept from Sun's every so important father, Sayid intersects with their lives in this parallel universe, and DESMOND, oh desmond. I totally forgot about that guy. I tried researching about him online but was of course confused.

Idk, I felt like this episode didn't do as much justice to the final season as last week's beautiful Richard episode. I mean, did we really find out anything profound about Sun and Jin?

Lost fans: enlighten me.

AND ON ANOTHER NOTE: was it just my tv that didn't show scenes from next week's episode? Doesn't network television know that this is the most crucial and exciting part to any superfan's television experience? WTF ABC.

EDIT: So, apparently why its important that Sun and Jin aren't married is because in this parallel life, Sun is not technically a Kwon so there is a GREAT possibility that she's not a candidate. DAMN. Thanks Lost fanatics

I guess it'll just heighten the surprise factor of what's to come for next week! I'm pumped.

For all of those who, like me, want to experience the last season of Lost but haven't been watching, here is a very famous "Watch Lost in 8 minutes" video. Its really confusing, you might have to go through it a few times, but its great. Thanks, youtube
