RECAPS: TV Wrap-Up

Leave a comment

Ah, the early spring hiatuses have begun. Has anyone else noticed that there is nothing on television anymore?!

One Tree Hill: I found this episode very boring. I know the death of Mama James should have had more an effect of me…but it didn’t. I feel like the whole “my parent has cancer – child wants them to fight but it’s a losing battle – parent dies” story line has been WAY overused. It was still touching and very well acted, but I guess I wanted a more original story line for Mama James. I am praying to every higher power that One Tree Hill gets picked up for an eighth and final season so the writers can wrap up the show properly. The show is going to crap as of late.

Lost: On the flip side, Lost just keeps getting better and better. This final season is turning out to be amazing. I am so glad that we are finally learning the answers to some of the fundamental questions on the show. Jack is a father in the flash-sideways story line…never saw that coming. In the final moments of the episode, Hurley and Jack arrive at the humongous lighthouse on the island (a light house they have conveniently never found during their 108 days on the island). Hurley tells Jack that Jacob has instructed him to turn the wheel to bearing 108 to help direct someone to the island. 108 has a name next to it on the wheel, Wallace. Okay, Damon/Carlton & Co., who the hell is Wallace?! I sincerely hope it’s not a random character being added to the show in the final episodes. It is becoming glaringly obvious that the passengers on flight 815 were indeed called to the island.

Nip / Tuck: Nip / Tuck’s last episode ever will be aired next Wednesday. So sad. I always look forward to tuning in to the tumultuous lives of those at McNamara/Troy. I recently read in an article here about the finale, saying that the “final hour of Nip / Tuck was unlike anything we ever expected.” This disappoints me slightly. The best thing about the show was the shock factor. I’m still looking forward to the series finale nonetheless AND to see what happens with Matt and Ava. Poor kid can’t seem to catch a break.

Valentine’s Day: I finally saw Valentine’s Day last night and it yet again asserted to me how amazing ensemble cast movies can be. Sure, some story lines took slight precedence over the others, Ashton Kutcher’s character for example, but the sharing of screen time was equally dolled out between the large cast. I personally loved the “best friends to something more” story line of Kutcher and Jennifer Garner. They were really believable as best friends. The whole Eric Dane – Bradley Cooper story line came out of left field for me. Truly a shocker there. I am not used to seeing Dane without scrubs and Cooper without Zach Galifianakis. Anyways, lovely movie.

Lost : Oceanic 815 flights.

So, check out this awesome video that plays the two different scenes from the original Oceanic 815 flight and the “alternate” Oceanic 815 flight. There are some major and some subtle differences, I am going to try to address as many as I can find.

  • Side-note, but in my opinion, Matthew Fox looked a lot better in the original Oceanic 815 flight. I’m digging the shaved / short hair look.
  • You can see the wing of the plane in the original
  • Cindy gives Jack two bottles of vodka in the original and one bottle in the alternate. Maybe she knew Jack wouldn’t need the other to clean his wound? O.o.
  • Before the first turbulence hit, Jack takes a drink in the alternate
  • Bernard’s a “very smart man” in the original and a “smart man” in the alternate. What happened to knock Bernard’s IQ down a few points?

RECAP: Lost, LAX

Leave a comment

Thank you Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse for completely rocking my world once again with the sixth and final season premiere of “Lost”. I remain in a confused state of mind…and it has been two days. Why is the foot statue under water? Why is Desmond on the plane? Man in Black/Fake Locke is the smoke monster? Who are the hippies at the temple?! What the crap was that thing in the guitar case? What’s with Jacob and his lists? Since when did Terry O’Quinn have the ability to give a look so unbelievably bone chilling?! (see above picture) Sayid is alive now?!

SERIOUSLY. WHAT THE HELL?

Things I Loved:

  • BOONE! CHARLIE! It was so awesome to see two of my favorite characters alive again. Ian Somerhalder plays an awesome creepy vampire on “The Vampire Diaries”, but he will always be Boone to me. I loved his interaction with Locke. Oh Charlie, I have missed you. I refuse to believe you are dead. I hope they stick around for more episodes.
  • Okay, haters to the left…I am so freaking happy that Juliet is “dead”. I have hated her character from the beginning and to see her demise on the show brought me immense satisfaction. However, I am forced to believe that she is still around somewhere with her line of “IT WORKED.”
  • Jack and Kate’s little moment when she bumps into him coming out of the bathroom. If Jack and Kate don’t end up together, I will seriously flip. They’ve been the one true pair of “Lost” since the beginning.
  • Hurley’s line of: “Excuse me, I carried that case across the ocean and like…through time…I want to know what that paper says.” So much win.

Bottom line: “Lost” is back and better than ever.
