I'm Lost
Lost is back after nearly being off the air for the past 10 years. Well maybe it hasn’t been that long but it seems like it. When we last left our survivors, Jack was telling Kate and Sawyer to run while he was threatening to kill Ben (or whatever his name is) on the surgery table. To be honest, aside from the season premiere, the rest of the episodes that were on this fall weren’t that interesting. The Others were more interesting when they were mysterious and I was tired of seeing Sawyer in a cage. I’ll be glad when Jack, Kate and Sawyer are reunited with the rest of the gang. I hope the time off has helped the writers to really write some compelling stories like they did in the first season.
Surprise announcement, Gilmore Girls was good last night. Best episode since Lane and Zach got married last season. It lets you know how long a drought it has been for this show. If you didn’t see it, Richard had a heart attack, and the three Gilmore girls, Lorelai, Rory and Emily anxiously wait in the hospital while he’s in surgery. Logan takes a helicopter to be by Rory’s side, and Luke drives to the hospital the minute he hears about it. On the complete opposite side of strong, caring manhood was Christopher who was still in a snit about the letter Lorelai wrote for Luke’s custody hearing and he wasn’t answering Lorelai’s desperate calls. He finally shows up at the end of the episode and acts like a simpering bitch when he sees Luke and Lorelai talking. For all you Christopher lovers out there, you’re boy is going down for the count. What made this episode so great was the stellar acting of Kelly Bishop. How this woman has never been nominated for an Emmy for her portrayal as Emily Gilmore is another reason why I don’t take the Emmy’s that seriously.
Whoever does the promos for the CW should be shot; or at least sent to their room without dinner. Last week their promo suggested that Veronica Mars was in the family way. The thought of a smart show like Veronica Mars going that route nearly made me not want to watch last night’s episode. Thankfully the brain trusts behind the show aren’t stupid like the CW promo department and they didn’t knock up our heroine, or even have her think she was pregnant. Keith only thought that because a religious group sent him a picture of Veronica leaving a family planning clinic, but Veronica was able to explain quickly to him she was only there for a case. The episode itself turned out to be good, with the show not going with the cliché of making Veronica’s client’s preacher dad be the bad guy. I should have had more faith that Veronica wasn’t going to be pregnant, but after the Gilmore Girls produced an unknown daughter for Luke and let Lorelai and Christopher get married, any good show can do something really stupid.
