Lost: Island Fever (Part 6)

March 5, 2009

When DHARMA Roamed the Earth

If Lost hasn’t jumped the shark yet, it’s certainly jumped a decade or three.

John Locke reset the off-kilter donkey wheel and fixed the island’s unstable time travel. The problem? The island wound up in the wrong time, seemingly for good. Left behind are James ‘Sawyer’ Ford, Juliet Burke, Jin Soo-Kwon, Miles Straume and Daniel Faraday. So how does their new time period suit them? For some — like Saywer and Juliet — it fits them quite well. By the look of it, however, everyone’s cozy hippy excursion is coming to a screeching halt with the arrival of the Oceanic Six, their old pals and would-be saviors.

Lost: Island Fever (Part 5)

February 26, 2009

After last night’s episode, “The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham,” we have the answer and there is finally no doubt about it — John Locke is very special indeed.

24 Things I Hate/Love About 24 (Part 7)

Uh, no Tony? WTF?

24-11-6

24 aired the eighth episode of season seven last night, and you almost — almost — wouldn’t notice that Tony Almeida was entirely absent. Even though they shelved Soul Patch for an hour, the episode gets a major thumbs up for sheer Bauer power. Excellent episode for JB.

As usual, keep reading to find out the good, bad and the ugly!
