A matter of perspective

April 29, 2008 – 10:55 pm

Over on Zap2It’s Guide to Lost, I take a look at the ever-widening scope of Lost, and how the shift from Jack’s eye to a world war shows why it’s one of the best shows to ever air.
I don’t usually plug my own entries over there, but I quite liked the way this one came […]

I Iz In Ur Hatch

March 30, 2008 – 10:31 pm

Thanks to my producers over at Zap2it for this fantastic link.
Not so much tube over the weekend. A lot of Netflix, thanks to my conflicted decision to re-up with them recently. Its a good thing I don’t need to see Atonement anytime soon, since, you know, they won’t have it ready for me anytime soon. […]

Vastly Amusing

March 26, 2008 – 5:37 pm

When the powers that be over at Zap2It asked some of its writers to submit their photos for a “Celebrity Lookalike” service they were unleashing, somehow I didn’t expect my mug to land on the front page of their website.
And yet, there ’tis. Least they put me next to links for my Lost blog, so […]

“Lost” Episode 4.6: Preview

March 6, 2008 – 8:16 pm

Tonight’s episode is Juliet-centric, entitled “The Other Woman,” and features a brand new Dharma station called the Tempest.
All this leads me to believe that the other woman in question is none other than Prospero’s daughter, Miranda. There, no need to watch the episode anymore.
What? I might be slightly off? And should watch the ep anyway?
Good […]

Not a One Trick Pony

March 4, 2008 – 8:45 pm

Given the title of this website, you’d think I do nothing but sit around and watch television all day. And my wife would tend to agree with your stereotypical impression. But that’s not so.
For instance, I write about television a lot. Insomuch as I have a website dedicated to discussing television, this should come as […]

They Call Me Mr. List-Tastic

February 28, 2008 – 12:24 am

Over on one of my other homes on the interwebs, I’m looking long and hard at lists.
Check not one, but both parts of my look at the world of lists on Lost and how they might reflect the cultural concerns of the show in general.
(You didn’t think I’d take four years of majoring in English […]

No Rorschach Test Needed

February 20, 2008 – 10:12 pm

My latest theory on Lost looks to Alan Moore’s Watchmen for inspiration. So, instead of doing one icon of pop culture injustice, I’m doing harm to two at once. And since I sort dump on the big bads of two of Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s seven seasons in the same entry, I guess I hit […]

Words, Words, Words

Just not here tonight.
If you want my latest mega-theory on Lost, be sure to check out my Lost blog for all the details. Warning: I mention Social Security, but it’s in a way sexy context.
If you want a little something non-television related, go visit the Boob Tube Dude’s elder site for a bit of insight […]

Amen

February 13, 2008 – 11:24 pm

Thank you, writer’s strike, for finally ending. Given that it started pretty much right after I launched this site, I probably should have started a strike blog a few months ago, thereby guaranteeing it ending almost immediately as well. Oh well, hindsight’s 20/20.
I’m excited most of all that Season 4 of Lost will get a […]

“Lost”: Time goes by…so slowly…

February 10, 2008 – 12:51 pm

(Cross-posted over at Zap2It’s Guide to Lost.)
Over the last two weeks, I’ve seen a marked increase in reader email. Some emails are supportive, which is fantastic. Others take the tone of “I don’t believe in time travel, but if I did, I would go back in time and make sure your parents never conceived you.” […]
