TV Wrap Up

Oh mannnnn I'm just addicted to too many shows.

Lost - Season Premiere
For a fantastic episode summary and commentary, Entertainment WEekly's Review.

So part of me wasn't in the mood for Lost, but I knew that I would kick myself if I didn't watch it last night so I shmushed in on the couch between the cats and got it on.

The episode is spent flashing back to Jack's post-marriage-fallout-but-pre-divorce mode, and the 3 kidnapees now that they're trapped by The Others.

Henry Gale is really Ben, the ringleader, and he's got a blondie wife named Juliet...

Sawyer (my boy! I missed him) is spent in a cage learning monkey tricks while the soundtrack to Planet of the Apes was playing.

Kate had a fancy shmancy breakfast with Ben, and he made her wear a dress so that she could feel like "a lady" and have something fond to look onto. Uhhh, buddy, wearing a dress is NOT something fond to remember. The average chick will take jeans over a dress when it comes to comfort ANY day. I know when I'm trapped by a bunch of jackasses, i'd rather have jeans, a bra, and shoes instead of a dress, no bra, and no shoes...

As for Jack, he dealt with Juliet and did a good job of tackling her when she lowered her trust. There is ONE touching scene i have to note...the entire series of flashbacks are spent with Jack begging to answer: "what is his name?"...and his ex wife wouldn't tell him. All the guy wanted was a NAME.

So when Juliet shows the folder of Jack's Life, and shows that she knows all about Sarah (that's her name right? Whatever. The chick who's on Boston Legal now), he finally gets to ask his question. But instead of asking "What is his name?"....he asks, "Is she happy?"...as Juliet says "yes, she is very happy", Jack completely breaks down.

Because when you truly, honestly love someone...it's not whether YOU get to be with them. It's whether THEY are happy. And if that's not with you...it's heartbreaking, it's gut-wrenching, but if you love them then you'll accept that that's what it takes for them to be happy.

And best of all...the previews show Sawyer getting his kissing groove on with Kate. I can't stand Kate, but YEAH go Team Sawyer!


Laguna Beack

Seriously, why do I bother with this show? Because i liked Seasons 1 and 2? It's a new cast, and they suck.

All i have to say is that Kyndra's boyfriend is a WHINEY LITTLE BITCH...she's definitely the dude in that relationship. When a chick asks you why you're being a douche, don't be all prissy and say "nothing" and then later pull a hissy fit.

House of Carters

Now it's only a fluke that i caught this, but I'm so glad that I did. It was absolutely brilliant.

Premise: Nick Carter (the baby Backstreet Boy) gets his dysfunctional siblings all in one house to finally learn to get along and grieve over their f*cked up childhood.

Let's see...Nick is the Dad of the bunch, since he's the one footing the bill and the rich one. BJ is the alcoholic annoying brat who's going to be flipping burgers for the rest of her life. Aaron, amazingly, is extremely goal oriented for someone so immature.

Remember, Aaron is the guy who created the feud between Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff years ago

Then there's Aaron's twin sister who's a wannabe model, and probably the most level-headed one (because she knows stress makes you break out), and then there's the big sister of the bunch who's got that whole "i'm responsible for everyone" thing going on.

Still, you think, wtf sounds boring...ohhh no. First episode their mom goes off the deep end, again, and they all argue over whether it's their responsibility, that you've only got one mom, but how many times do cave when someone cries wolf, and when a family member is mentally ill what do you do...

As immature and retarded as these 5 are, it's also crazy to think that they're being forced to play grownups to parents who are immature gold diggers, and they are clearly not equipped to deal with the real world as a result.

Plus, they are emotionally F*CKED UP from having to grow up so fast.

Then there's a scene where Nick flips on Aaron...of which, i would have flipped too...Nick pulls Aaron ina room, beats the pulp out of him (off camera), back on camera we see them crying and screaming and bloodied up and people screaming to call the cops...

ANd you know how it ended?

With Aaron and Nick hugging each other saying "you're my brother! MY BROTHER MAN!".

The Bachelor
Okay i don't normally watch this except for 1 season and I haven't watched it yet so far, but I got into an office pool at work over who would win and I got Kim from Long Beach. Yee haw. So i guess I'm going to have to start watching.

Which is fine by me, because What About Brian is on afterwords.

Fashion House
I"m not going to summarize, all i'm going to say is YES i'm still watching this stupid nightly soap opera. It's so horrible on so many levels, but now i've gotten so sucked in I absolutely can't NOT watch. ARgh.


Tv is my best friend.
