Lost Lost Lost

Okay- it’s no secret that I love Lost. I will now make it known that I do not Love the Lost’s Love Tangle. I have had quite enough of the Sawyer/Kate, Jack/Kate, Sawyer/Juliet, Jack/Juliet relations. So- with that said:

I did not think that “What happened, happened” was a great episode. What it did have is some nice moments and a couple of great exchanges. None by any of the above mentioned characters.

1. Hurley trying to figure out the whole theory of the time continuum theory was a hoot. I really like Hurley. He is the voice of the people! Just as I was leaning towards understanding Miles’ explanation, I thought but what if....and Hurley filled in the blanks and of course Miles had to concede.

2. Richard explaining that by taking Ben to save his life, he would also be taking his innocence was an exchange that we Lost Lovers have come to both dread and live for. The comment answers very little but reveals lots of possibilities, angles and theories. We are left wanting to know the rest of the story, how why, where, tell me now I can’t wait!

3. Locke welcoming Ben back to the land of the living! I was just thinking out loud at the break before this scene that I wanted them to get back to the present (?)Locke and Ben scene that we saw a few weeks ago. The one when Locke is taken to the hurt survivors of the plane crash and there lays his murderer. The smile that Locke gives Ben was awesome!

So- there you have it. Not sure that those 3 little highlights were worth watching the other 40 minutes of the show-but I did, and would again ( I mean who am I kidding!). I want them to forget about or at least not work so hard at the Love Lost but just concentrate on all the other issues that make folks tune in week after week. I don’t think people really care who ends up with whom- we care about what happens to whom, by whom, how and of course –when.

Dancing With The Stars

I admit, I really enjoy Dancing With The Stars! It is one of the few shows that while I am watching, I realize that my face hurts because I’ve been smiling at the TV screen for 2 hours! It makes me smile! Very little on TV makes me smile anymore.

Now- I do not know anything about dancing but like to think that I know a good performer when I see one, and since I pay close attention to what the judges criticisms are, I’d like to think that I can see falters or flaylings when I see them. Stomping vs. gliding etc.

Len is my favorite judge as he is less dramatic than Bruno and less macho crazy than Carrie Ann (and Bruno). Len is no nonsense and tries to give constructive criticism. I like that.

This year so far my favorites are Giles, Shaun, Melissa and Ty.

I love the fact that you can see these folks working their tails off on something that they wouldn’t normally do. I like the improvement, the letting loose. Ty quickly became a favorite of mine the 2nd week. He was so very stiff and movements seemed so foreign to him- but he came out and decided to step it up and I really enjoy watching him. Do I think he’ll “take it all”. No, but I will like watching him from week to week.

Woz left this week. And I think it was time. I love his spirit and optimism. I did think at times the judges were on the cruel side and I crossed my fingers hoping their remarks would end so that the show wouldn’t become another bashing contest. I want smiles, remember! I think folks like Woz and Jerry Springer and crew are the reason (partly) that this show is having huge success. These guys come out to try something they otherwise wouldn’t, and we end up rooting for them to go as far as they can!

So- next week I think it will be Steve-o’s turn to go. I wish him the best and I hope that with this venture he has proved to himself that he can make it sober. I think that LT will go out along side Steve-o, if it is a double elimination. If not, LT will go soon. But again he will have proven to himself and all the little league footballers that dancing can be cool- and if you want to do something- DO IT, and do it the best that you can.

See- Good stories- all of them! J

Lost!!!

Very good show last night. Answered some questions and as always brought up more intrigue! Very clever writing. However- I am NOT happy that we have to wait two weeks for the next new episode!

Saving Face

So- I checked into this Face book thing and I have to say- it is amazing! Within 12 hours (not continually) I was talking with College and High School people that I haven’t talked with in years and years! It’s pretty cool. I have to play around with it cause it has tons of features that I am not sure how to use. I have used chat and I’ve written on walls.

Cold Snow Grey

I am so very tired of the cold grey days. I can't wait to see the sun shine. Even if for only just a few minutes. Winter seems very long this year.
