signed, Captain Obvious

Dear , Do not go on . The publicity you get will not help you. There really is such a thing as bad publicity. The show’s host will mercilessly mock you and everyone watching will laugh. I will laugh at you, instead of with you. Carefully edited clips will saturate the web as your name […]

LOST thoughts (part MDCXLVIII)

I need to scribble my current LOST thoughts so that I can see how far, far off I am after tonight’s show. They center around an idea that Barry suggested. What if, chosen souls don’t die when their bodies die on Lost Island/ancient floating Tardis. Those souls/ghosts are the whispers that are infrequently heard on […]

LOST thoughts

Finally! After the world’s longest hiatus, LOST is back. The final season promos have been almost entirely composed of scenes from previous episodes. There was ONE shot of a familiar character in a brand new scenario, but that disappeared quickly, so I don’t think we’re supposed to have seen it. It changes that particular character’s […]

Big Bang Theory

Heroes: A transitional episode to kick start action and repair the wrong done last season. Could everyone hear me screaming “YES” […]

House vs Heroes

Monday nights at 8 pm, I am still tucking children into bed and getting things ready for the next morning. Sometime between 9 and 10 pm, I settle in for an hour of recorded television. Every Monday, it comes down to a choice between House and Heroes. Heroes is fluffy fun and I should be […]

24 hours from serious to silly

Doug: “There’s an ambulance at the retirement home.” Me: “Seniors do like to visit Mexico.” Doug: “Must be swine flu.” K: cough-cough T: “Got some swine flu K?” Doug: “My head is splitting.” Me: “Swine flu. Shouldn’t have gone to Market Square Friday night.” Amy: “What’s swine?” Me: “Pigs.” Amy: “Why are the pigs sick?” […]

Dear Heroes,

You owe royalties to Pixar and everyone who worked on The Incredibles after yesterday’s episode and the babysitter scene. Seriously dudes. Thanks, Cathy
