Once Upon A Time

Remember back when you were a little kid, before you could read? I know it's difficult but try to remember those stories our parents read to us. That's what ABC's latest Fall Show, Once Upon A Time is doing to me. It's making me search the dusty, cobwebbed corners of my brain, trying to remember who the hell is Rumplestiltskin. I recall the name but can't remember his part in my childhood stories.

I remember reading to my kids before they could read right before bed. You want them to go to sleep, you're tired, so you skip a few pages. It happens, everyone does it. Our parents must have done it because I can't remember most of this stuff going on in this show. I've been googling Story Book Stories since I decided to invest an hour of my week every Sunday.

My theory is our parents skipped some pages to get us to go to bed quicker and to save us the nightmares from these conniving, heart stealing, black market baby racketeers. Along came Political Correctness and the pages were taken out. So now that we are old enough to handle the cruel world that is Snow Whites, there is no documentation to back it up, it's been erased.
We can march into our parents house and demand to know the whole story on this Rumplestiltskin or we can watch Once Upon A Time on Sunday nights. Because these people aren't afraid of the truth, they are filling in the blanks and I'm loving this show. I didn't think it would suck me in the way it has, the fact that it's executive producer and creator Edward Kitsis is a former producer of LOST might have something to do with it. If you are aware of the LOST connection then you can't help but see the numbers everywhere and it sends chills up my spine. "Oh my God the evil mayor's address is 108!"

So Where's Rose and Bernard?

Seriously, what happened to everyone's favorite couple on LOST? Rose and Bernard were last seen running through the jungle avoiding flaming arrows, while flashing back and forth in time. I haven't seen them in Dharmaville, Jack, Kate and Hurley haven't asked about them. Are we to assume they are successfully avoiding the "Others" in the jungle on their own with a bunch of extras that have no lines?
I know it's TV, but people ask questions in real life, but on LOST no one is inquisitive or they are happy with a open ended, off the cuff answer to an important question or they just don't ask. Frustrated!
Juliette is suppose to be a mechanic but she delivers babies and operates on GSW's (gun shot wounds - learned that from ER) on the side. Where the hell is Daniel? Why didn't Sun flash back in time with the other Oceanic 6?

The dull pain in my head, I've now named my "LOST headache".
But at least time travel was explained to us last week, I for one, understand the concept of time travel thanks to Miles and Hurley:

Ohio Connections

Maybe I watch too much TV to write about TV? Let's see......... Monday there's House, 24 and Heroes. Tuesday I watch NCIS and Fringe. Fringe is currently on hiatus, thank God I don't know what the hell's going on on that show. Wednesday, well Wednesday is "holy hour" LOST night. Thursdays Survivor is back on and The Office too. Nothing is ever on Friday's and Saturday's and Sunday I started watching The Amazing Race even though I said I wouldn't. I haven't seen American Idol yet and I don't know what the hell I'm going to do when Dancing With the Stars starts up again in March.
On the last episode of Survivor they voted Candace off, it was only afterward that I found out she was from Ohio, bummer. I'm surprised they voted her and her big boobs off. And we found out that Taj is married to Eddie George, an famous Ohio State football player. I don't know who Eddie George is but the husband does, huh. Oh and there is a couple from Ohio on The Amazing Race. Go Ohio! I will make a concentrated effort to start posting about these crazy shows and the Ohio connections.

LOST Still Remains a Mystery

Okay Wednesday nights at 9:00pm have become holy hour at my house. Nobody is allowed to talk, the dog gets a special bone that keeps her busy and quiet for an hour and the phone doesn't get answered. LOST is awesome this season. We're getting some questions answered, not a lot but some. Time travel is why we kept seeing weird things on the island.

But just exactly how an entire island can move and the Losties keep moving through time and why the Losties that left have to come back and it will stop and all of them have to come back and how they can actually find the island that has now moved twice and they have to bring back Lockes dead body too, still remains a mystery. But isn't it good this season?

Finally LOST

After watching the long awaited season premier of LOST season 5, I'm not ashamed to admit my head hurts a little bit. I've seen my share of time traveling television entertainment but this one left me cross-eyed. I couldn't keep up. Where and when the hell are they?
Maybe I was having a hard time keeping up because Sawyer had his shirt off for the entire first hour. Ohhh baby. The guy, Frogurt?, that ended up giving him a shirt is now dead. Proving that there is justice in this world. I have to watch these episodes again, but I'm so stoked LOST is back on again and I fully enjoyed the two hours last night.

Million Dollar Password Baby

So what's a network to do with all this free time on their hands waiting for the new episodes to start up again in January? Trot out an old game show with a million dollar price tag on it, of course, duh. And ever so gently wheel out Betty White to guess words like she did back in the day. Betty White is my favorite "senior" actresses, but I feared for her life after watching Million Dollar Password last night. She was totally into it, racking up points for contestants but there were so many bells and whistles, buzzers and beeps, lights flashing and dimming, I thought she would go into cardiac arrest.
Dear God bring me a new episode of LOST already.

Shirtless Sawyer

Instead of sitting in front of my computer tonight I plan on sitting in front of my television watching my LOST DVD's. The wait for the new season is starting to get to me. I'm jonesin' for some Sawyer, shirtless preferably. And by the looks of the promo commercials he seems to have his shirt off quite a bit. Shirtless is how we last saw him at the end of season 4. So perhaps I will start with season 1 and fast forward to all the Sawyer scenes. I don't want to rush through the blessed holiday season but I can't wait for January 21, 2009!

Heroes ...... Huh?

Did Heroes have a hard to follow start this season or is it just me? I watched the last episode last year, but I'm confused. Nikki, she's dead then? I was happy to find out that there isn't a secret clone army of Nikki's on the planet Kamino being developed, just triplettes. Nathan and Peter are Sylar's brothers, all offspring of the creepy Angela Petrelli aka Mommy Dearest? Mohinder is turning into The Fly? He can totally pull that off though. Matt has been teleported to a desert, where he meets some kind of Guru with Guru goop that he eats to see the future?
Can you tell I'm not even trying with this show. I refuse to get sucked into message boards with theories out the wazoo. It happened to me with LOST but not again. If I can't figure out what's going on just by watching every week, instead of joining message boards, playing online games, reading a damn comic book and searching for spoilers then I'm done. Done I tell you!

My View of Fringe

I can think of no better to way to grab an audience than to show them a plane full of people as their faces melt off, awesome. I'm calling Fringe my new kookamonga show. Why? Because Fringe has government cover-ups, fringe science, unexplained phenomena, the creepy black guy from LOST, a half dead guy with transparent skin, a mad scientist and JJ Abrams is involved. All the makings of a cult show.
The mad scientist, Dr. Walter Bishop, played by John Noble, seems to be the only doctor that can save the transparent skin guy. The problem is, he has been in a mental institute for 17 years. It's amazingly easy to spring him out and start up his basement laboratory, but hey it's TV right?
The show moved at a faster pace than, oh I don't know, LOST? Another JJ Abrams creation. Like LOST, there were symbols and clues and I suppose Easter eggs to delve into, but I refuse to get that involved.
If you missed the first episode Tuesday, it will be on again Sunday night. I plan to watch the second episode, probably the third and so on, we'll see.

Let's Move an Island, It'll Be Fun

By now if you are a LOST fan you've seen the final 2 hour episode. So you don't need me to tell you what happened. But you do need to know what I thought of it. Any LOST episode is worth the price of admission to me, if Sawyer has his shirt off. Which he did. Oh................. Baby. He jumped off the "losing fuel" helicopter to lighten the load so the rest of the passengers could get to the safety of the freighter that was about to blow up. He lost his blood splattered shirt on his swim back to the beach where he found Juliette chugging a bottle of Dharma Rum and staring at the blown up freighter. She was bummed, she's never getting off Craphole Island and she knows it.

The six that did get off the island apparently have to go back, Jack was right, according to Ben. In the flash-forwards we get to see Claire and she orders Kate not to bring Aaron back. So you can safely bet the farm that Kate will. Hurley is comfortable in the mentally challenged house playing chess with an invisible Mr. Eko, it was good to almost see him again, when Sayid creeps in after killing someone that was watching the place. Sayid tells Hurley they are leaving for somewhere safe. The safety and comfort of his tent on Craphole Island I'm sure of it. Locke is the person in the coffin and I didn't see that coming until I read the spoilers a couple days before the episode, whoa. I was sure it was going to be Michael, but he was blown up instead, after Jacks dead father told him he could go now.
Ben successfully moved the island as you can see in the picture, see that big empty ocean? Thats where the island use to be. Doh! And Ben was really pissed at Jacob the Invisible. Because Jacob the Invisible is the one that came up with the great idea to move the island. The one that moves it can't come back - Ben.

I plan on harping on this 2 hour season finale a few times over the summer, into the fall and part of the winter, until we can see the new season of LOST. Trust me there is enough blogging material from this last season to get me through the long freakin wait.

Getting to the Bottom of LOST

I’m thinking of taking my economic stimulus check, hopping on a plane to Hawaii, then rent a car and drive around the islands until I find out what the hell is going on, on my favorite show LOST.

Who’s with me? I’m going to need a head count when it comes to the car rental part of the trip. I love LOST but I can’t take it anymore. I’m the kind of person that reads the end of a book first. It doesn’t help any that Claire seems to be in on what’s going on. She’s hanging out with her dead father now. I guess that’s more fun than dragging a baby around the jungle week after week.

So when you get your economic stimulus check, let’s go stimulate the hell out of Hawaii and find some answers!

Oh and I haven’t posted on LOST because being the impatient person that I am I’ve found out some spoilers and I’m afraid to slip!

Explaining LOST

If you are a avid watcher of LOST have you ever tried to explain a scene to anyone that isn't? Last episode the husband decided to stay up instead of going to bed when LOST came on. He's under strict instructions to be quiet until commercials. During the episode when Sawyer found Aaron alone in the jungle crying I knew there was no way I could explain this to him to have it make any sense. But it went a little something like this:

That man in the middle of the night, deep in the jungle, that Claire saw holding her baby, Aaron, is indeed her dad. Only he's suppose to be dead, that's why Jack was in Australia, to bring back his body. Oh, Jack and Claire are brother and sister by the same dead guy, but they don't know they are related. This dead guy keeps showing up on craphole island, Jack found his coffin, conveniently empty.
So Claire followed the dead guy that was holding her baby and disappeared. Aaron, who Claire has been holding since she had him, is alone crying in the jungle. So where the hell is Claire? Walking around the jungle with a dead guy?

You see where I'm coming from? Claire has already gone missing, we've been there and done that. We know something happens to Claire and she doesn't make it off the island and Aaron does. I can't think of anything more annoying as to why if the explanation is that she just disappeared.

LOST Episode 8: Meet Kevin Johnson

LOST Season 4, Episode 8 Review:
Uhhhhh..... okay this episode was mostly flashback. Of Michael aka Kevin Johnson, Ben's "man on the boat". Sayid confronts Michael and says, "How did you come to be on this boat?" And we went to one long flashback. Michael is trying to kill himself, because he's wracked with guilt, oh and a murderer. He drives his car into a wall and survives, wakes up in a hospital, hears a nurses voice and sees Libby talking to him while holding blankets in front of her. That was pretty creepy. Since he's already killed her.
Michael buys a gun at a pawn shop, goes to a back alley to shoot himself in the head and Tom/before he was dead Tom, shows up, you know in Manhattan and I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation why he's not on the island, really. But he tells Michael the Island won't let him die, well of course it won't, duh! Tom wants Michael to redeem himself and save the island from the freighter 18 miles off shore. Michael agrees to this after his fully loaded gun misfires twice while trying to shoot himself in the head. Michael goes to Tom's penthouse room and we find out that Tom is a big ole gay guy. Tom tells his gay lover to take a walk and gives Michael his new passport, "Meet Kevin Johnson."
So we come back to Sayid and Desmond questioning Michael and Sayid drags Michael to the captain and tells the captain everything. Now at this point I'm just going to see where this goes. I don't know if I should yell at Sayid or applaud him. Because I have no idea who the good guys are.
Speaking of Ben, he tells the Locke followers that as soon as the freighter people capture him they will kill everyone on the island. When alone with Alex, Karl and Danielle, Ben tells them they have to leave, get far away from here and here is a map. It's to the temple where the rest of "our people" are. Off they go to the Temple, they stop for a two minute rest. Alex and Karl sit to have a drink of water, they hear gunshots, Karl sees a hole in his water bottle then Alex sees a hole in Karl, he's fall over dead. Alex freaks out and Danielle grabs her, "We have to run, I love you Alexandra." she says. They run and Danielle gets shot. Alex is sitting there scared to death raises her hands and says, "I'm Ben's daughter, don't shoot." That's how it ends. I'm thinking Ben set them up to get rid of Karl and Danielle, but who knows. And we have to wait a month to find out. It's very tiring being a LOST fan, isn't it?

LOST Episode 7: Ji Yeon

LOST Episode 7, Season 4 Review:
Holy Crap, Michael is Ben's man on the boat. Not that I'm surprised, but what the hell's going on? Sayid and Desmond play it cool and don't blow his cover.
Juliette successfully gets Sun off the pregnant woman killing island, because we see Sun giving birth in a flash forward. She is referred to as one of the Oceanic Six. During Suns flash forward we see her in labor and calling out for Jin. In separate scenes we see Jin buying a stuffed panda bear and frantically trying to get to the hospital. But Jin was having a flashback, he bought the stuffed panda bear for a business associate of Mr. Paik's. Hurley shows up in Suns flash forward and he and Sun take the baby to Jins grave site. Damnit. They almost had me crying. Jin's dead, don't know why, don't know how.

On the island, Sun wants to go to the Locke camp. Juliette tells her she has to get off the island within 3 weeks or she will be dead. Sun doesn't trust her, she and Jin get a map from Kate. Juliette is really adamant that they stay and tells Jin that Sun had an affair. Uh oh! Jin understands more English than he can speak and clearly knows the word affair and who's the baby's daddy.
Jin goes fishing with Bernard. What else would you do when you're stranded on an island and you find out your wife has been unfaithful? Bernard rambles on about marriage and love and yada, yada and ends up talking sense into Jin. Realize what a dick he was when he and Sun were married, so he forgives her and she assures him he's her baby's daddy.
So if we are counting Aaron as one of the Oceanic Six, then we got all six of them accounted for. Jin's dead, Claire has to be dead and some of them are still on the island, don't ya think?

LOST, Give Me Answers

I can’t post my LOST review until I watch it again, what the hell is going on? We get an answer in each episode and 67 more questions. I want more answers. I’ve been asked if I could find something in an oyster besides a pearl, what would that be? Answers to questions on LOST, that’s what I want. Like a fortune cookie. Why is Jin dead? Why is Michael on the freighter 18 miles off shore?

I’ve never had Gulf oysters before, but I would eat as many as I could for answers. I would prefer them cooked though. I just can’t do the raw thing. While they provide a low calorie protein that are a great source of zinc, vitamin B-12, and omega-3 fatty acids you have to be careful eating raw stuff. Did you know that if you have liver disease, diabetes or a weak immune system, you should avoid raw oysters. I found this out at a site called BeOysterAware.com when searching for information on diabetes. The husband has been recently diagnosed with diabetes. There is a lot of information on oysters and recipes. They have answers for you there! Which is more than I can say for LOST.

LOST Episode 6: The Other Woman

LOST Review:
I watched it twice. You have to with LOST or you'll be Lost. I crack myself up sometimes. So Juliette was required to see a psychiatrist when she arrived on "the island". And she was also picked to be "Ben's". Ewwwww! We know that she ended up with Goodwin, but we found out that Goodwin was a married man. And he was married to the psychiatrist that Juliette was seeing, Harper. Harper is a bitch. No two ways about it, bitch with a capital B. She found out about the affair and warned Juliette because she didn't want Goodwin to be hurt, by Ben. Ben sent Goodwin to the plane wreck to get rid of him. And left him undercover, spying when he didn't need to be and Ana Lucia killed him. Ben took Juliette on a little walk to show her Goodwin's dead body. It's a shame no one thought to bury him. That was a flashback, but they made it at the very first to seem like Juliette was one of the Oceanic Six, tricky.

Back to the island, the geek squad, Daniel and Charlotte, are missing and all their stuff. Juliette and Jack go to look for them, well Sun and Jin do too, but that's the last we see of them this episode. Jin's English is coming along nicely. Juliette hears the "whispers" in the jungle. And then she see's her buddy Harper. Harper tells Juliette to kill Daniel and Charlotte before they release the poisonous gas in the Tempest Station, that will kill everyone on the island. Harper says that Ben sent her. Ooookay. On their way to find the geek squad, Juliette and Jack run into Kate, who had just been hit over the head by Charlotte. Why, because Kate continues to be stupid. Juliette leaves to get Kate some water, but takes off on her own. She gets to the Tempest Station and finds Daniel furiously typing away on a keyboard with danger warnings and alarm sounds going crazy. Where's Charlotte? She's going to sneak up behind Juliette of course. Oh look, I was right, a girl fight.
LOST isn't going to win any more Emmy's if they keep writing this predictable, High School scripting.
Juliette wins the girl fight and points the gun at Daniel and says stop. Charlotte explains that he's trying to save the island. He does, he typed the right thing in at the last second, geeks always do that. Jack and Kate get there, Kate's pissed at Charlotte for hitting her over the head. Hey Kate, don't turn your back on people that act suspicious. Kate and Charlotte go back into the Tempest Station so Kate can make sure Daniel is securing the station. Jack and Juliette share a kiss. That's probably going to piss off Kate too.
Oh hey back at Othersville, Ben plays some more mind games with Locke. Ben's really good at the mind games, especially with Locke. Ben wants out of captivity. He tells Locke he will show him something, last time he did that Locke ended up shot in the kidney, in a shallow grave with several darma clad skeletons. But that was before, it couldn't happen again. Let's trust Ben. Ben shows Locke a tape featuring Charles Widmore, again this guy pops up in an episode. Apparently Charles Widmore is the man behind the freighter 18 mile off shore. Ben explains Widmore wants to exploit the island. Ben gives Locke an extensive file on Widmore. This is enough information for Locke to trust Ben again, Locke gives Ben some clean linens and a key to a house right next door to our two favorite roomies Hurley and Sawyer. Ben walks by the horse-shoe playing buddies and says, "See you at dinner."

Set the Machine for 2.342 and to Oscillate at 11 Megahertz

LOST Review, The Constant:

Awesome! That's what the geek in me is saying today after that episode last night. We got time traveling, Megahertz, nerds, Daniel is such a geek, we got a rat maze, all the bells and whistles of a mad scientists laboratory. This episode had me on the edge of my seat.
It starts off with Frank, Desmond and Sayid in the helicopter, heading on the co-ordinates specified by Daniel. They go right through a storm and Desmond wigs out. He doesn't know where he is, he doesn't know Frank and Sayid, oh and just a minute ago he was in 1996 during his army days. The whole episode he's going back in forth in time. Edge of you seat action baby!
Sayid right away gets in touch with Jack on the island and tells him about Desmond. Daniel talks to Desmond and tells Desmond he needs to find him in Oxford, when he slips back in time again. Desmond finds Daniel, who is a real dork professor, and Daniel tells Desmond he needs to find a Constant in both time periods to get himself unstuck. Penny!
Desmond makes a stop at an auction when he's in 1996 to ask Penny's father, Mr. Widmore, Penny's address and get this. They are auctioning off The Black Rocks ship log. Owned by Somebody Hanso. I definitely have to watch this episode again for more details. The numbers were showing up everywhere in this episode too.
We get to see George Minkowski, the guy the "Helicopter 4" kept trying to reach. He's experiencing the same "side effects" that Desmond is having. Minkowski takes Sayid and Desmond to the radio room, they got out of the room they were locked in because someone left it open. Minkowski says, looks like you have a friend on this ship. So naturally I thought Frank, but going through the message boards today I'm thinking it's "Ben's man on the boat". Who, I agree with the boards, could be Michael. It's no secret he's coming back to the show, his name is in the beginning credits of every episode this season.
Desmond finds Penny in 1996 and she's pissed, want nothing to do with him, but gives him her number so he'll go away. He says he won't call her until Dec. 24th 2004, eight years. Sayid aka Mr. Gadget starts to rig up a phone connection for Desmond. Minkowski dies from going back and forth in time too much and blood starts to tickle out of Desmonds nose. Dear God hurry up Sayid! The connection is made, Penny answers, they love each other, Desmond is unstuck.
Like I said, Awesome!

Did You Just Totally Scooby-Doo Me?

LOST Review: Kate stayed in Othersville to find out if the people on the freighter 18 miles off shore knew she was a fugitive. She needed to question Ghostbuster Miles and went to the town crier Hurley to find out where he was being held. She got the information from with no trouble at all and he realizes it and says, "Did you just totally Scooby-Doo me?" Awesome, I love Hurley.
This episode was a Kate flash-forward, it consisted of a well recognized Kate on trial for everything, it was a long list and she plead not guilty. We find out she has a son, Jack testifies at the trial telling the jury that Kate took care of the "eight" people that survived the plane crash. Kate is visibly upset by Jack lying on the stand and tells him to stop. The prosecuting attorney says she only has one question for Jack, "Do you love Miss Austin." Paleeze. He says, "Not anymore." Whatever. Kate's ungrateful mother shows up in a wheelchair to talk with Kate. She says everything changed when she thought Kate was dead and doesn't want to testify.
"Well don't." Kate's pissed.
"I just want to see my grandson."
"Are you trying to make a deal with me? I don't want you anywhere near him."
Ungrateful mom doesn't testify and Kate jumps at a deal of time served, 10 years probation and stay put in the state.
Back on Craphole Island: Sayid, Desmond and Frank never made it to the freighter 18 miles off shore. Jack is more than a little pissed.
Back in Othersville: Kate asks Ghostbuster Miles what he knows about her and he says he will tell her everything he knows if she lets him talk to Ben. Kate goes to Sawyer the con man to arrange some time with Ben. Locke knows Sawyer's complete history yet is conned by him and Kate gets Miles an audience with the almighty Ben. Doh!
Ghostbuster Miles wants Ben to give him 3.2 million dollars to tell the freighter 18 miles off shore that Ben is dead.
Let's stop here for just one minute. How many deals have been struck in these first 4 new episodes of LOST so far? Enough already!
Miles gives Ben one week to get the money. Last time I checked they were both prisoners, it will be interesting to see how they pull this off. Kate drags Miles out of Ben's cell and asks him what he knows and he tells her everything. Locke finds them and now he's pissed. He banishes Kate from Othersville.
Kate, after finally taking a shower, goes to Sawyer, who finally has his shirt off, and tells him she's banished. He unbanishes her. And then he starts undressing her. The whole episode Sawyer and Kate go round and round the subject of is she pregnant or isn't she. She is staying with Claire (Charlie who?) and Aaron and doesn't want to hold Aaron, "I'm not good with babies." Just last season you were holding him Kate. In the morning she tells Sawyer she knows she's not pregnant. Sawyer is really happy, really. That pisses Kate off and she says she's going back to the beach. Obviously she knows she's not pregnant because she's PMSing, back off Sawyer! But he doesn't. He yells at her and says she'll be back when Jack pisses her off. Ouch! I think they're broke up now.
Back to the flash forward: After the trial Kate is leaving through the back door. Runs into Jack and asks him to come to her place for a drink. He suggests going for coffee. She looks at him and says, "Until you can accept my son, there's is no coffee for us." She goes home to a very nice house and sees her son in bed waking from his nap. Now get this, the baby boy says, "Hi mommy." And she says, "Hi Aaron." Whaaaa?
I watched this episode twice. So is Claire going to die? What the hell?

Ben Our Man of Mystery

LOST Review:
Hey Sayid is golfing! And he's not on craphole island, he's at an exclusive club. A man tools up to him in a golf cart and places a friendly wager with him. Sayid tells the man that he's one of the Oceanic Six. This news makes the golf cart, wagering man very nervous. And it should because Sayid pops a cap in his ass. Sayid is then in Germany and meets a woman, falls in love but has to kill her too. This is after she shoots him. He notices her bracelet, it's the same one that he notices on dead Naomi.

Back on the island, after taking note of the bracelet, Sayid asks Frank to take him off the island. Sayid says he can bring Charlotte back safe and Frank says if you bring Charlotte back safe, I'll fly you off the island. Sayid, Kate and the Ghostbuster Miles leave to find Locke and his band of misfits. When they get to Othersville it looks deserted. They hear a noise and find Hurley locked in a closet. Hurley lures them to Ben's old house, uh huh, lures them. While searching the house Sayid finds a secret room where Ben has currency from different countries and several different passports. I know I've asked this before but who the hell is this guy?
Locke and his crew ambush Sayid, Kate and Ghostbuster Miles. Sawyer has Kate in a bedroom and tries to talk her into staying in Othersville with him, because he says neither of them have anything to go back to. Sayid is held prisoner with Ben. Locke brings lemonade for Sayid and they discuss why the new people have come to the island, both agreeing that they are lying. So when we see Sayid come back to the helicopter he is with Charlotte and that's it. He traded Charlotte for the fiesty Ghostbuster. But that's okay because Frank really didn't like him anyway. Sayid tells Jack that Kate decided to stay in Othersville. Desmond by this time has been brought into the whole helicopter scene and tries to get answer from Frank and Daniel about his picture being with Naomi. Why he didn't ask Naomi when she was alive should be an obvious question, don't you think? Frank takes Desmond, Sayid and dead Naomi on the helicopter back to the ship, we see them flying off into the distance.
While waiting for the prisoner exchange Daniel conducts an experiment and let me just say I really like that geek. But anyway he discovers that the island is 31 minutes behind regular time or the island's time doesn't move the right way. Very weird and Daniel was freaked out, he warns Frank to take the very same route back to the ship. I get lost watching Austin Powers movies when he goes back and forth with time, how am I suppose to keep up with this?
Back to the flash forward. Sayid is all bloody and walking through a pet hospital. Someone tells him to take off his shirt and starts to work on his GSW (gun shot wound for those of you who have never watched ER) and asks Sayid if he killed her. He has someone else on the list. They show the strangers face and it's Ben, our man of mystery. Sayid says, "They know I'm after them."
And Ben replies, "Good. You want to help your friends, don't you?"

Writer's Strike Over

While searching for Heroes information, like when the hell it will be back on, I found a link telling us the writer's strike is over. And here is a little information on the fate of some of our favorite television shows. It doesn't appear we will be seeing Heroes any time soon. I know that Lost has already started filming, there will be more that 8 episodes this season. Enough searching for information today. This blog is due for a re-vamp and I plan on screwing around with it today, I need it to be 3 columns. Hopefully all goes well and I don't end up crying.
