Earlier in the week I outlined my Incompletes/Near Misses, then dropped Number 10 through 6 on you soon after. But today? It’s The Final Countdown. But we’re not leaving for Venus, […]

Review: ‘Lost’ Season 6 on Blu-Ray

August 23, 2010 – 7:10 pm

Minds have already been made up. “Lost” isn’t the type of show that allows you to buy merely your favorite season: […]

‘Lost’: Why it’s impossible to be spoiled by ‘The New Man in Charge’

August 6, 2010 – 6:56 pm

Far be it for me to let a little “Lost” controversy slip by into the ether of the interwebs without making a comment or two. Or four. Or eight. Or…you know what? Not gonna do it. Not gonna repeat all The Numbers. That was cute pre-“The End”, but now seems something more appropriate for John […]

Guess Who’s Back…Back Again….

June 26, 2010 – 1:16 pm

It’s been far too long for an update here. I’ve been so busy writing over in other abodes that I’ve neglected my homebase here. I’m like another Ryan: Ryan Bingham from the film “Up in the Air,” spending most of his time on the road and barely doing anything with his base of operations. But […]

We’re near the end of Season 5, “Lost” fans, but you wouldn’t know it. Ever gone on a run, and the finish line seems to get further and further away as you approach it? You know you’re moving forwards, but it feels as if the finish line is moving away at an even more rapid […]

“Lost” Recap: Episode 5.14

April 29, 2009 – 11:14 pm

With its 100th episode, “Lost” pulled out all the stops tonight with “The Variable,” a Faraday-centric episode that sought to shed light not only on his whereabouts in the past, but his purpose throughout the history of the Dharma Initiative. While the episode featured some outstanding work by Jeremy Davies and a few incredible reveals, […]
