Since Lost wasn’t on last night, we got to pull our social life out of storage for a couple of hours in lieu of pouring over message boards and Wikipedia entries. But we should have known better than to assume we could get through the entire evening without finding something about the show to obsess Read More
Damon Lindelof, executive producer and co-creator of ABC’s Lost, had a recent conversation with his personal trainer about Watchmen, Zack Snyder’s film adaptation of the much-beloved (and complicated!) 1986 original comic-book series that will be released in theaters tomorrow. “Have you heard of this Watchmen thing? What is it?” his trainer asked. “Little Read More
Maybe because we’re such big fans of Lost we expect too much. Because despite dwindling ratings (dirty little secret of 2009: Lie to Me is doing better on Wednesday nights than Lost), plenty of people seem to be onboard with the direction the show has taken. Even last night, the best episode of the season Read More
Let’s get this out of the way first: We enjoyed watching Sayid and Hurley participate in Weekend at Bernie’s 3; we got a kick out of the visual references to No Country for Old Men and Magnolia (and less so The Da Vinci Code stuff at the end); and, of course, we laughed our heads Read More

Remember all that stuff you read about 24 taking it easy on the torture during its seventh season? Well, scratch that. Prolonged exposure to Jack Bauer could turn a nun into a Geneva Conventions violator. Just look at what happened to F.B.I. agent Renee Walker (played by Annie Wersching) during Read More
If you planned on leaving the house during the week of January 19th, perhaps you should rethink things.

A quick note before we dig into our ten favorite television shows of the year. You’ll most likely notice the absence of How I Met Your Mother. This has nothing to do with its quality (or lack there of), as our omission of The Office does. We just don’t watch it. That being said, we’d Read More
At the rate ABC is doling out clips from the season premiere of Lost, we might get to see the entire thing before it airs on January 21st. The network was kind enough to release yet another early stocking stuffer, a sneak peek at what we can expect from season five. We’re happy to report Read More
As you sit at your desk, scratching your head and wondering how we got into December already, perhaps we can tell you something that will brighten your day. Do you realize that we’re just over a month away from the return of Lost? We know! We can’t believe it either! Though we’re a little scared Read More
Unless you’re planning on helping the Obama family unpack boxes at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, you probably don’t have any current plans for Wednesday, January 21st, 2009. Well, allow us to change that! The fifth season of Lost will return to ABC’s airwaves that night with a two-hour season premiere, starting at 9 p.m. Read More
