I think this is what I’m going to miss most about LOST

So last week they jumped the shark. I challenge any of you to tell me any differently. Between “explaining” what the island is (midichlorians anyone?) and trying to explain everything we’re seeing by posing even bigger questions (oh great, now who was the WOMAN who raised them? and how did she get there??!) and finally, why did it take 3000 years (give or take 1000) to finally decide it was time for a new candidate (there weren’t any good choices until Party of 5 was looking for work)?

Well, there are only 3.5 hours left, and soon, these videos of LOST credits to different 80s sitcoms will have no bearing whatsoever on the pop culture pulse of America….

So, enjoy it while you got it. Because after this, we are left with “V”. And if you aren’t watching it, catch up on “Fringe” over on Hulu. It’s another JJ Abrams joint, and it starts slow in Season 1, but Season 2 is fan-freaking-tastic. One of the best dramas on television, no shit.

FYI – NO NEW LOST TONIGHT.

I have no idea what’s up with that. Personally, really stupid move. I cleared ALL my Tuesday nights in anticipation of some great LOST action, and this is what ABC does to me? Fuck you ABC. You gain nothing by putting this pause in the season. And yet there’s a new “V” tonight – well YIPEEE. Let me go right back and home and park it on my couch for one of the most boring shows you’ve shat out in a long time. (Don’t worry, I’m still gonna watch it, but under protest. LOUD protest.) All I’m saying, is that a Lizard better shoot a laser in tonight’s episode, or I’m calling jihad.

In the meantime – let this take your mind off the disappointment:

Maybe I’ll organize my butter knives in order of least rusty to most rusty…. That should take most of the night.

It’s been awhile since we talked LOST.

SO first, I’d like to give props to Sophie:

I just can’t get enough of these mash-ups of current kick-ass shows with past either kick-ass or kitschy shows.

In other LOST news – Aaron is a big deal – just watch and Ben better not try to redeem himself. He’s the perfect villain, and I don’t want him to go all “Vader” on us.

LOSTies! Even more footage of Tuesday’s Premiere!!
