Tuesday, April 27. 2010What Is The Island?
I can't remember which one of you I was talking to that asserted that we don't know what the island is yet. In a recent interview given by Damon Lindelof, he said this question had been answered. While Mr. Lindelof didn't actually tell WHEN it had been answered, I'm quite confident that it came to us in "Ab Aeterno", as Richard and Jacob were talking about the nature of the Island, Jacob, and The Great Deceiver. Holding a wine bottle, Jacob tells Richard Alpert:
"Think of this wine as what you keep calling hell...there's many other names for it too--malevolence, evil, darkness, and here it is, swirling around in the bottle unable to get out because if it did, it would spread. The cork is this island. And it's the only thing keeping the darkness where it belongs." You can find more at Lostpedia's entry on Ab Aeterno. Friday, February 6. 2009Did You Watch "The Office"?
If you did, and you didn't catch/understand/recognize the name that Creed mentioned to Andy, follow below the fold.

Friday, November 21. 2008Why Can't All TV Be This Good?In the Season Two finale of The West Wing, President Bartlet is overcome by memories of his late secretary, Mrs. Landingham, as her funeral approaches. As he ponders his political future amid scandal, he has a vision of Mrs. Landingham in the Oval Office, advising him to run for reelection. With her encouragement, and Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits serving as the soundtrack, Bartlet summons the courage to seek a second term.(http://www.sheknows.com/articles/806665.htm) I miss shows that were actually GOOD. Saturday, October 25. 2008Joost is Back
Due to the popularity of Youtube and Hulu, Joost has gone from a P2P format to streaming flash video. You can watch a LOT of TV here.

In the past few months, I may have suggested to some of you that Bones was a TV show you should be watching. I believe I even told MG that it was better than a lot of the stuff I was already watching.
Well, I have just finished Season 03 of Bones, and I'd like to officially and publicly withdraw anything positive I may have said about this show. I cannot believe that they thought people would just accept their proposed "conclusion" to the season-long serial killer story line, and I will not be watching it if it returns to television this fall. It's AMAZING how quickly they were able to ruin this gem. If you had already started watching it on my recommendation, I apologize and suggest you redirect those energies elsewhere. I don't think anyone could find it a satisfying conclusion to what should have been a great TV show. Friday, July 11. 2008Countdown: 4 Days
Remember: The first episode of Dr. Horrible's Sing-along blog starts on Tuesday, 15 JUL 2008.

So gotta say, I highly recommend wipeout.
Also, as a fan of Japanese games shows, I thought I Survived A Japanese Gameshow was pretty good when it wasn't being bogged down by the Reality TV Crap. Friday, June 6. 2008She'll Be Back
Fox released the return date of The Sarah Connor Chronicles today. Figured some might be interested. It'll return on September 8.
In other news. Bones will make it's return on September 3. Wednesday, May 28. 2008The Simpsons
So, pretend I'm someone who's not watched very many episodes of "The Simpsons", and has decided to see what he's missing.
Now, envision that I tried to watch Season 01 and found the artwork and humour unbearable. Given these constraints, where in the Simpsons chronology would you suggest I start? Wednesday, April 23. 2008

[Ed: Formatting updated with input from MG - h8chur small screens!]
Of course, you're going to be reading through the filter of "Things AoD Finds Interesting" - regardless of whether "interesting" means "Oh, MAN! HOW ARE YOU NOT WATCHING THIS?!" (USA's "Burn Notice"), or "WTF?! How did this even GET ON THE AIR?!" ("The Big Bang Theory"). If I missed a show you're interested in, you'll have to do your own research.

...before hundreds, possibly thousands, of people die. So you have a choice: you can stay on the line and make a difference, or you can hang up and walk away.
This is insane. |
