First,last nights ratings according to Zap2it -

The first half of the "Lost" finale posted a 5.7/9 for ABC

and

Lost" held steady in its second hour at 5.6/9, 

I gotta know... is this a decline in people watching tv or are you ALL American Idol fans???? If AI is so popular why is it that Star Search went south so quickly? Gah, never mind.



Check out the Washington Posts video:

Lost ~ Dead is Dead : my view

Well, I am so sorry to say that last night was NOT the best episode this season, at least for me. I was very disappointed in the whole show. I felt disjointed and a bit bored. I am guessing that was just me.

While seeing why Ben is so freaky is a benefit it still does not make me feel close to his character, as if there are more lies under that story of his. And the monster choosing to show up as his daughter?

Sun is making me ticked off because she seems a bit bored with finding the husband, I would not be sitting around while someone told me they may be able to help me but first we have to do this, no.

Is Locke dead, or is his also a part of the monster? His demeanor seems to have changed, and his wanting Ben to be judged while understandable is not in keeping with how he acted earlier.

Ben attacking Desmond and Penny, that was too predictable but I did like that he got his butt beat, I do not care what reasons you have, they are never enough to try and harm someones kid.

Whidmore... what a totally creepy guy. Hope we see more of his story. Did Ben try to kill Claire?

Here is hoping that next weeks episode is far more exciting and understandable than last night, because it was hard to be so disappointed after getting so excited over this season.

TV Tonight ~ LOST

April 1st, 2006

Tonight is episode 11 of Lost ~ What ever happened, happened.

I just found the neatest website for LOST, the LOST wiki called Lostpedia :-) yeah, I know... like 5 seasons to late. Hey, give a lady a break, I have been doing the Jericho dance for so long I had forgotten there was other TV shows out there and I am just now beginning to catch up with everyone.

I missed last week due to illness, but from what I gather you all got to see Sayids back story.I am watching the episode via Hulu.com right now so I will be at least able to follow the story. I just want to make sure my Hurley stays okay, no harm better come to my Hurley.

I was thrown by the small boy who said he was Ben, and Sayid as an executioner? I don't blame the poor boy who did not want to kill the chickens, but for Sayid to step up and do it just shows how caring he is. Just like he tried to save his love in the beginning. I am interested in Ben and how he ran away to Richard but was sent back, he said to Sayid that he was being patient.

Wait! Sayid is a killer for Ben? What, why???? Oh the people who died at Sayids hands were all in Widmores organization, but still ... why?

And will Sawyer really drop Juliette for Kate? I hope not, that would be grossly unfair and stupid because that would possibly make it come out who they really are. And has Sawyer gotten too into his new life , making him forget what really happened on the island in the first place? Was the Dharma Initiative bad or good ? Too many questions , hopefully some will be answered tonight;-p.

Ben's Father is a jackass who mistreats Ben, so we can see why Ben wanted to run away to the others, the Hostiles. But did his fathers treatment culminate in his being a ruthless, cold hearted killer? More questions to be answered.

I held my breath when I saw William Sanderson , who plays Oldham the man who is the Dharma Initiative Sayid. Last time I saw him was back in the 80's in Newheart. I loved what he said when he drugged Sayid and heard Sayids comments on the future, "maybe I should have used half a dropper...oops!"





I also found out the fans are having a get together starting the 3rd of April, see this page for the Lost Weekend Get Together. This event is also being held in LA at the Hilton ;-p


I will be back later this evening with my thoughts on tonight's ep

Nastasha Richardson

There are conflicting reports about Natasha Richardson condition, anywhere from Critical to Brain dead to passed on, either choice you pick is rotten. I really have enjoyed Mr Richardson career , from the first time I saw her in Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan as that pretty little darling, to Nell with Liam Neeson ( Ms Richardson's Husband) and Jodie Foster.
** See CNN Report here **

The Insider reports that as of today, Ms Richardson was back in New York City, so that must mean that if she was able to be transported she must be in at least critical condition.
Ms Richardson's Mother is Vanessa Redgrave and she is sister to Joely Richardson.

To think that this is how fast ones life can change is scary. I do very much pray she gets better for her sake and for her families sake, her boys need her as does her husband.

TV Tonight~

Since it is just an Idol night watching Stars dance I am taking a holiday and watching a dvd... Nightmare before Christmas. It is my standby when I am in need of some wonderful singing :-)
Tomorrow we are treated to better fare on TV with Lost - Namaste so the remote is mine. Also on is Criminal Minds on CBS. I will of course do my best to come and post after Lost. I am sure I am going to go insane trying to figure out where the whole story is going now.... much fun.

Lost - The Little Prince

Little Prince

Oh man, were you as shocked as I was that the guy floating was Jin ( Daniel Dae Kim)?

Yes, I am totally out of order but as they were turning him over I said offhandedly I beat that is Jin. Now, can I make the lotto numbers come out the same way?
Two burning questions, what is up with Ben ( Michael Emerson) wanting the baby? I mean it was his lawyer so it has to be him, right? ( remember I have been off the show for awhile so be kind :-) And also what or rather who is the lady who has the computer, the woman makes me dizzy switching the island around.

The other thing making me go hmmm, is what is the real story behind John Locke ( Terry O'Quinn) has he been at the island before, I mean way before the plane crashed? He acted really weird when he and the others were in the camp of the soldiers from the 50s. Could it be that he is part of all this?


And one last thing, what is happening to make the hemorrhaging going on with Charlotte Lewis (Rebecca Mader) and now Miles (Ken Leung)? I think it would be hard physically to have a sweep through time every few hours, but does Daniel Farraday (Jeremy Davies) have something he knows he has caused hidden from the others? gah, this is TOO hard , but I am loving that it is making me think. I just have to know who the heck that woman is and what is Ben's part, why why why!
As it stands, I am the most confused on why the Oceanic 6 has to be brought back to the island, and if they do all return do all those who died come back, will time stop shifting?
After next weeks show I will do a better and longer write up , this day has been far too long.

Is anyone else Lost watching LOST?

When lost began back in 2004 I was admittedly one of the many fans blown away by the awesome out of the box writing that was done on the show. I loved the whole process of trying to guess what was going on. But as time went on I for many reasons was not able to watch for a while and when I did go back I felt well... lost.

I watched the other night and I am sorry to say I am still lost, but I had a ton of fun trying to catch up. I also found that it was like soap operas, I was able to guess a few story lines out for myself. Kate and the baby ( and maybe this is not a big revelation to you true fans). I also loved that my Hurley is still the same sweet guy and the same holds true for Sayid ( I think he and Hurely are the two true heros on the show, besides Charlie that is.

I was really happy with how the story is going so far. I was never sure I liked Locke, as a matter of fact I was sure he was evil. And with him having been there at the island before ( just my thinking of where the story line is going) he must be mixed up in all this historical back and forth.

Can you imagine the possibilities of being able to shift back through time? In the movie Timeline by Michael Crichton the shifts in time when the characters jumped was immense. This is what I see happening now with the folks who left the island, they must go back to finish what ever part they had initially. I wondered how many times have they actually been to the island?

Anyway, it is going to be a ton of fun watching this season and I think I will be on the lookout for the seasons on DVD so I can finally make sense of all I have missed.

How did you like the last episode?
