LOST – 6×5 – “The Lighthouse”
February 26th, 2010
Jack Shephard was one of my favorite characters from the first couple seasons of LOST. And what wasn’t to like? He was the reluctant leader who took charge because no one else would. He did a lot of things for the good of the group, and despite his feelings, he respectfully stepped out of the way when it seemed Kate had made her Jack/Sawyer decision. But since the shocking end to the third season, Jack has seemed off. He is less focused, less of a leader, and less enjoyable to watch, and I can honestly say that I don’t like Jack as much as I used to. But, in classic LOST fashion, “The Lighthouse” sheds new light on Jack, and all of the sudden, Jack is back at the forefront of everything.
LOST 6×4 – “The Substitute”
February 18th, 2010
Going back to his first episode in season one, Locke-centric episodes have always made me sad. From his problems with his father to his issues with Helen (not to mention his injury), Locke’s story always had a way of making me feel sorry for the old man. But the addition of the “flash-sideways” gives a glimpse into the life of a John Locke who doesn’t seem as unhappy. And with a couple changes, he actually has a bit of hope.
ABC’s 2009-2010 Schedule: What It Means For You
May 19th, 2009
ABC’s 2009-2010 television schedule has been announced. Lost returns in 2010 for its final season. New shows of possible interest include Eastwick, Flash Forward and V. Eastwick is another attempt to turn “The Witches of Eastwick” into a television series, where “three very different women find themselves drawn together by a mysterious man who unleashes unique powers in each of them.” If at first you don’t succeed, right? Eastwick airs on Wednesday nights at 10 p.m.
In Flash Forward, everyone on the planet, regardless of age, briefly blacks out and sees a glimpse of his/her future. How people deal with that knowledge, and whether they can change what they’ve seen is the focus of the show. While it sounds like a compatible match for Lost, Flash Forward is scheduled for Thursday nights at 8:00 p.m.
In another case of “haven’t we done this before,” ABC is rebooting the 1983 mini-seris (and subsequent television series), V, “about the world’s first encounter with an alien race in which the aliens call themselves The Visitors, and have a seemingly friendly agenda that may or may not be a cover for something more malevolent.” V doesn’t appear on the released fall schedule, meaning it’s destined to be a mid-season replacement.
Shows which didn’t survive the cut include Life on Mars and Pushing Daisies.
LOST – 5×16/5×17 – “The Incident”

LOST
“The Incident”
Originally Broadcast Wednesday, May 13th, 2009
LOST’s producers referred to the season five finale as a “game changer.” That, heading into the final season of the show, things wouldn’t ever be the same. And I can safely say that, after watching the finale, they were right. Because the events of “The Incident” have changed the game, and I don’t think LOST will ever be the same again.
