Getting Lost: There’s No Place Like Home, Parts 2 and 3 Review

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg If we had told you before last night’s Season 4 finale aired that Jeremy Bentham was dead, would you have cared? Probably not, unless you were a philosophy major in college. Now, John Locke would have been another question entirely. As it turns out, they’re the same guy — and they’re both dead. Or are they? As Lost fans, we’ve been conditioned to question just about everything we see. As such, we’ve been trying to think of reasons Locke might still be alive. Here’s what we’ve come up with:

Stanley Cup Up For Grabs

Posted by Cubicle QB This may shock readers of this site and Channel Guide Magazine: I actually love hockey. There is no better sport to watch live, in my opinion. Back in the ’90s, when I started learning the sport, I adopted the Red Wings as my team — I liked all their Russian guys — and had a lot of fun following their back-to-back Cup seasons in ’97-’98. I watched a ton of hockey back in the day, but it’s kind of sad how my interest in the sport has waned. The Red Wings are in the finals against […]

Getting Lost: The Top 10 Things We Love About This Season

Here they are, in no particular order, the 10 things we have enjoyed most about the current season of Lost — one which we feel will go down as not only the best in the series’ history, but one of the best in television history, as well. Yeah, it’s been that good. 1. The new characters. While in the past we’ve been subjected to pointless additions to the cast (Nikki and Paulo, we’re looking in your direction), this season’s newcomers have played vital roles in the overall story arc and have quickly become integral to our enjoyment of the series.

American Idol Finally Selects A Winner

Ryan tells us that 97 1/2 million votes came in for American Idol’s Davids last night. Apparently that smashes the previous record by 20 million votes. First we go to Mikalah Gordon in Kansas City. She tells me that David Cook rocks. Then we go to Utah and Matt ‘Queso’ Rogers. He’s surrounded by a bunch of blond girls who start an ‘Archuleta’ cheer. Squeal! Then we move into the first Top 12 group number of the evening. First the contestants from that other Fox show, So You Think You Can Dance, do a rockin’ routine & show the Idols […]

Welcome To The Boomtown: This Is American Idol

I have a feeling we’ll have a bit of filler this time. We’re only getting 6 songs, so we’ve got to pad the hour somehow. We start cheesily with the Rocky theme and the dude who calls boxing matches, Michael Buffer. You know, the ‘let’s get ready to rumble’ guy. Or should I say, ruuuuuummmmmmmbbbbbbbblllllllllleeeeeee! We’re live from the really big Nokia Theatre and we learn that David Cook weighs 180 pounds. David Archuleta is described as being 100 pounds soaking wet. For some reason Ryan gives up his ‘This is American Idol!’ responsibilities for tonight. Under Buffer’s tutelage, it […]
