Lost Talk

I was all hot to watch it after the big Desmond time travel thing last week, but fell asleep at 8:20 and woke up in the morning. WIll watch this weekend, so start without me.

Lost Talk

Haven't watched it yet. You guys start without me.

Lost Talk

This week's episode written by Carrie Bradshaw: "And just like that, Kate got off on probation! 'I wonder,' she thought, 'do arsonists always have more fun?'"

They answered a question.

They answered a question!

We now know that the "him" Kate had to get back to was her son.

How much did you love the way they set up the entire episode so you thought that Kate really was pregnant by Sawyer, or maybe she wasn't but was going to get pregnant by Sawyer, or maybe was going to go back to the beach and sleep with Jack and get pregnant. But then---her son is Aaron!

OK, you knew the producers weren't going to kill Aaron.

But why was Aaron with Kate? Did Kate take him to try to save him? Did Claire make Kate take him to try to save him from something?

(I know we don't know the details yet, but this seems like it was written by someone with no close contact with breastfeeding; If Kate was really Aaron's mom, yet she wasn't lactating, how could he have stayed alive on the island? There were no questions about this and the rest of the Oceanic 6's story?)

The cover story Jack w as reciting said there were 8 survivors of the plane crash. But only 6 of them leave the island. Which were the other two who were supposed to have been alive after the crash?

Why, on the island, was Claire not more upset about Charlie? He's only been dead for a day or two.

Where's the helicopter? Did Jimmy Buffet kidnap Sayid and Desmond, or is there something island-related going wrong that he has no control over? When is Naomi going to open her eyes and reveal that she's not really dead?

Where, oh where did they find the guy who plays Miles? He's almost as creepy as Ben is.

How does Jack seem to get progressively more pitiful as the show goes on? And what about Juliette? Does she not make it off the island? She wasn't on the flight, so isn't in the Oceanic 6.

I think I like this show again.

The Return of Lost Talk

It's back, only a few episodes into the new season.

So this Oceanic 6 thing is interesting, and a nice gimmick to get us interested. So far we have:

1. Kate--Looking hot at the airport in a blue shirt, having to get back to "him."How much will it suck if "him" is Ben?
2. Hurley--Back safe in the psych hospital, except for those pesky hallucinations of Charlie telling him he has to go save his friends.
3. Jack--Who looked together when he went to visit Hurley, but at the end of last season was losing it. What's the chronology on that? Was he sick when they first got back, but then got well? Or did he slowly crack up as time wore on? AM I the only one who thought his beard at the end of last season looked like a piece of fun fur from Joann's (I'm assuming you all call Joann Fabrics "Joann's" like my mom and I do).
4. Sayid

So let's talk about Sayid, and tonight's episode:

1. What does a former torturer do once he's no longer forced into military service? Become Jason Bourne, apparently. Although Elsa the German counterspy was a whole lot of Vesper Lynd from the last Bond film. Sayid just can't stop being a badass, can he?

2. "I saw you snap that guy's neck with that breakdancing thing you do with your legs. I think I'll hang back here." I love Hurley so much. I'd totally visit him every day in the tank.

3. Is it just me, or did Frank the pilot escape from every Carl Hiaasen novel ? (Do you read Carl Hiaasen books? You should--they're funny books about south Florida.)

4. Jack has become less tiresome and therefore even more boring.

5. Is Locke crazy, or crazy like a fox? The debate continues.

6. Sawyer wants to stay on the island. Why is this just too convenient? I'm betting on him for one of the last two spots.

and now the big questions:

7. Why the ham is Sayid working for Ben? Has he lost his mind?

8. Who are the people Sayid is killing? What did they do to his friends? Who are his friends? The people left on the island? Are they still there on the island? Huh?

9. Who is that guy who hired Naomi and tried to move Hurley to a different hospital?

My picks for the remaining two of the Oceanic 6: Sawyer and Sun.

Now you.

Shock on DWTS

I can't believe they voted off Sabrina!

It's so wrong.

She should have been the winner.

DWTS week 3

So El Chico was really rooting for Wayne Newton to be eliminated, but I never thought it would actually happen, since so many older women love him. I think his bad dancing just caught up with him.

So how about Marie Osmond? She's way better than I thought she'd be.

I'm worried about Jennie Garth. She seems to put so much pressure on herself. She looks great, but seems to be unhappy and brittle. I wish she could cut herself some slack.

I'm still in love with Helio Castroneves. He was wearing a ring on his left fourth finger this week, but I think it's his Indy Car ring (gold with a checkered flag on it). I'm betting he'll do better in the paso doble next week than he did with the jive.

I know everyone loves Jane Alexander, but she just leaves me cold. I can never pay attention to her in any of her dances, and end up fast-forwarding through them.

I hadn't realized Mel B's daughter was so young--I thought she was over a year old. But 5 months explains Mel's breasts for sure. I can't believe the rest of her is in such good shape so soon post-partum!

I finally figured out why I like Edyta so much--she's the only professional ballroom dancer I've seen who has a natural hair color. All the rest of them either go for the platinum or black hair to look extreme and dramatic. I love that Edyta just has her naturalesque medium brown color.

I still miss that sweet Albert Reed.

DWTS. Sick + early meeting

DWTS. Sick + early meeting = no post. Poor Albert! Eu gosto muito de Helio o brasileiro. I'll comment later, so you start.

DWTS

So the first dancing rounds have happened. I don't know if I can take three nights a week for a few weeks.

I'm rooting for Jennie Garth, too. I think in a few weeks she'll loosen up and start wowing people. Jane Alexander is so elegant that I think she'll be good to watch. Were Scary Spice's boobs always that huge?

I predict the Sports Illustrated girl with no rhythm goes first of the women, followed by Marie Osmond, who is an excellent sport. The Cheetah Girl is going to rock the Latin, but I think she's have problems with the Ballroom and the long lines and elegance needed for those dances.

Am I the only one who have never ever heard of Cameron Mathison, Helio Castroneves, Albert Reed, and Mark Cuban (in all fairness, one of my co-workers said, "You know, the billionaire who always argues with the refs?" and then I knew him)? The only men I knew were Floyd Mayweather (who I didn't think was anywhere near as bad as the judges did--I really enjoyed watching his dance, and it's obvious that he can move, so I think they were just spanking him for not being more precise, but if he gets voted out this round I'll be pissed) and Wayne Newton (see also: Good Sport).

I love that there's a hunky-but-goofy soap star who also just happens to have a health condition that required a torturous childhood and now inhibits his movement. It's like the Heather Mills thing, only with someone people actually like. (It helps if you haven't broken the heart of an international sweetheart.)

And I think Albert Reed has a little more personality than one would have thought. (His redhead partner scares me, though.) Doing the Ann-Margret/Elvis thing was smart for this first round to get attention.

How cute is Julianne Hough's brother, who looks like a combo of Ken (from Barbie and Ken) and  Zack from "Saved By The Bell."

Elimination prediction: The Sports Illustrated girl.

Also, I cannot wait to see Dolly Parton tonight! I don't even care if she sings. I just want to see her.

People!

Wayne Newton, Scary Spice, and Marie Osmond on Dancing With the Stars!

And I thought I might not watch this season. What was I thinking?

i almost just dropped my

i almost just dropped my cell phone into a big blue mailbox while I was mailing a letter. Yeesh.
