Okay…before I begin to busy myself with work, end-of-the-week school chaos, and the brain-jarring jackhammering of our friendly neighborhood plumber (plumber #2, since plumber #1 called in sick for our appointment this morning) - let’s talk about Lost.
I think last night’s episode wouldn’t bug me so much if I didn’t already know we were only getting half a season of episodes. If I knew we had sixteen coming instead of eight, the fact that we’ve had precious little forward movement in two episodes wouldn’t bug me…but I don’t, so it does.
Obviously each member of the Helicopter Four has some sort of connection to the crash of Oceanic 815 and for whatever reason want to hunt down Ben and chop him up into a hundred pieces…but…eh. Really? I did like the photo of Ben in some circa ‘78 shirt with a hefty CRT monitor at his side. I’m guessing that was a Dharma training center of some sort.
At least we know who the guy was who tried to talk Hurley (Should I be calling him Hugo now? Everyone else is.) into a “nicer” nuthouse “with a view of the ocean.” But, I need someone to leave the island - anyone. Let Juliet stay though, because I think she’s pretty fierce - walking around and brandishing those weapons like she does.
And while we’re here…did you know a new season of Survivor started last night? And, Jonny Fairplay was the first to be sent home during Tribal Council? That was so much fun to watch, because his absence will likely make this a better season for me.
Oh…can someone please close Naomi’s eyes? Thankssomuch.

naomi = creepiest dead woman ever
fairplay going first = best first tribal council ever

Hubby says that Johnny’s game was already up and no one was going to fall for his stuff and when he realized that, he set himself up to be voted off. Still a loser.

Kind of like when Richard Hatch was voted out first during Survivor: All-Stars…not much of a surprise.

Au Contraire!
Hatch was around for 7 episodes in All-Stars, long enough to coax Susan out with his pixelated bits!

Ah that’s right…it was Tina. I got my seasons confused, but my point was that you always get rid of the person you perceive to either be the biggest threat, or the biggest jerk.

True dat, in that case, can we vote Jack off the island?
I like the ghostbuster, and the drunk pilot.

I gave up on Th. Survivor after 10 minutes because I CAN’T STAND Jonny. Now that I’ve found out via various sources he was booted off, I’ll watch. Thank heavens for my PVR… I can’t watch the episode in glee knowing his smart-ass remarks got him outta there!
As for LOST, aie carumba! I could cry thinking there is only half a season. Think the strike being 99.9% over will up the epis or is a lost cause by now!?!

I mean I CAN watch the episode in glee…. forgive me… oh so sleepy.

I read somewhere that there isn’t necessarily only six of them that get off the island, but maybe it’s just that six of them come out into the limelight with their return. I’m glad it’s back on, even if for just eight episodes b/c there isn’t much else on right now!
