Kudos to Lost, To Hell with Grey's

Kudos to Lost. I loved the episode again this week. I have a couple of criticisms, but was very pleased overall. As for Grey's . . . to hell will Grey's. The season finale was the worst episode of the entire series. Nearly everything about this episode pissed me off--in no particular order:

• George/Izzy storyline continues to be ridiculous!


• Callie as chief resident over Bailey? Come on! Earlier this season the Chief was basically telling Miranda that she'd be chief of surgery if she were an attending.


• Meredith--I'm over her character. The writers explain that the episode shows how flawed she is and that she never had a parental example of how to be in a relationship. Boo freakin' hoo! I could now care less if she and Derick ever end up together. I wish she'd drowned and put us all out of OUR misery.


• Burke/Cristina storyline . . . huh? Are you kidding! That was out of left field and it sucked!


• Chief chooses new Chief only to remain Chief. Stupid! And how can he get back together with Adele if he continues to be Chief?


• Alex/Ava . . . does anyone remember Izzy/Denny? Another doctor/patient relationship?


• Speaking of Ava--Griffin as her husband (or was it his twin, aka Pink?)--I love the actor, but what in the hell was on his chin? Terrible.

What did I like? Not much, but here it is:

• George failing...that's what you get, you cheater!


• The moment between Bailey and George.


• The fact that Adele's baby was Richard's.


• Callie...even though she shouldn't be chief resident...she is fantastic. How sad that she's grasping at straws to keep her marriage together.


• Sandra Oh...I hated her storyline, but she is a fantastic actress.

Okay, enough about crappy television. I've been very neglectful in posting any updates on Jake lately. In a nutshell, he is fabulous. He's now 9lbs., 10oz. Here is a video of him enjoying his swing:

Lost Thoughts

Here are my "Lost Thoughts" for this week's episode in no particular order:

1. I called it . . . John Locke's deadbeat dad and Sawyer's "Tom Sawyer" were, in fact, one and the same. This is my second character connection to be verified in the past few weeks...the last was that Jack and Claire were siblings.

2. They are NOT in purgatory. I think the writers are clearly using this theory as a red herring. John's dad didn't die...the main guy playing God (whoever he may be) orchestrated the accident and owned the ambulance that picked him up. I don't yet have an answer to the fact that the plane was found, though the same explanation could hold true. Anyone seen Wag the Dog? If you can fake a war, you can certainly fake the discovery of a plane at the bottom of the ocean. The aforementioned "God" figure obviously wants some of these people to remain on the island and for the island not to be found, so it is plausible that they would fake such a discovery.

3. I'm over Jack. He's been pissing me off for awhile, but when he pulled that crap with Kate this week saying "she's not ready" to learn whatever secret Juliette wanted to share with her...he was doing no more than pulling a Ben. Come on! Of course, I don't feel sorry for Kate because she never should have gone to Jack with that information. I'm guessing though that it was a "you broke my heart and now I want to hurt you by showing you that your friends don't trust you" gesture. Love and heartbreak make us all do stupid things....for this, I forgive her.

4. Sawyer. I love this character. My heart broke for him this week. Obviously, you don't want to think of him as a murderer and even after he kills "Tom Sawyer" with his bare hands, you still don't see him as a murderer...at least I didn't. So, now what? He gets to go back to Kate who is using him while she's in love with Jack. I know he's caused a lot of pain in his past, but he deserves to finally put his past behind him and be happy, right?

5. Locke. Ugh, John Locke. I did love the moment after Sawyer killed his father when Locke simply said "Thank you." I'm also glad to know that he still cares about the camp (giving sawyer the information and evidence against Juliette). I'm not sure what I think of this "I'm on my own journey now" crap. I'm just over his weirdness. The only good thing about him going on this journey is that we will hopefully start to get some answers about this island.

6. Foreshadowing. In 3 nights they will raid the beach. So, the season finale may hold Sun being kidnapped. And, why does Rousseau need the dynamite? Will she confront her daughter before the season ends?

7. Final thoughts. I love Desmond's character and I love the new alliances and friendships. I can't agree with Kristi the Horse that Juliette is fantastic because I frankly can't stand her. Also, I get the impression that no one really likes Ben...why doesn't someone kill him or otherwise put him in his place?

Until next time . . .

Still Addicted

I really would love to be one of those people who isn't addicted to television, who can pass their time reading a book (which I do often), cooking, cleaning, etc. I really would, but I'm just . . . well, I'm just too lazy. Since I am a lazy, TV addict, I may as well expound on the addiction.

Friday Night Lights - - I LOVE this show. I really want America to LOVE this show too so it will stay on the air. I know it's creepy now that I'm officially in my 30s, but Riggins, the tough guy on the outside, sweet on the inside, hot all over, football star is just yummy. It's not quite as creepy now that he is sleeping with a woman on the show who is older than me:)

Lost - - This is the show that I really, truly wish I could give up. It has really pissed me off this season, but no matter how bad it gets, I just can't stay away. I blame it on Party of Five - - the Salinger in me just can't help but tune in to see Matthew Fox. My thoughts so far as I watch it right now:

• Damn Locke for not keeping lookout and going after Ben . . . though I am still waiting to find out why . . . fat chance they'll actually answer that question tonight.


• Kate and Jack really do love each other. As of now (10:30), I'm thinking his love for Kate will ultimately keep him on the island.

Well, the little man is crying and Andy is trying to sleep. Apparently, it is not, in fact, a certain little guy's bedtime. Or, maybe, just like his mommy, he just has to watch Lost too.

Gratuitous Jake picture of the day - -

That's What She Said

I hate coming up with a title for these things. I'm watching The Office, so loyal fans will know where I got this title. While we are on this topic, I must say that Dwight Shrute is the most awesome (yes, I said awesome) character to EVER be on television. I love Dwight!

So, this is a picture of my 38 week gestational age son holding his own bottle. We keep trying to explain to him that he's not even supposed to be born yet, but he doesn't seem to notice or care.

I also had to add the second picture because it is just so damned cute! Jake was wide awake tonight after bath time (which he seems to really like...after the initial shock of being in water) and being so adorable! He's also wearing his new OSU hat for the first time...in support of their first tournament game. Unfortunately, he has no UT gear small enough for him right now.

LOST Thoughts

1. I assume the "new love interest for Jack" that I read about is going to be Julia/Juliet
[Kristen A Jones] - This may be naïve of me, but I like her. I want to know her story. Of course, I want to know all of their stories. Maybe it was the migraine, but Jack REALLY got on my nerves last night.
Yeah, the whole obsessive Jack was a bit annoying. But I also think she is just playing him...he is part of an experiment...so I'm not sold on her yet...she has to earn my trust. Also, I'm not convinced she had a whole file on Jack. Not that it's very likely, but they could have obtained all of that information in other ways (i.e. spying on them for the past 2 months)
[Kristen A Jones] Good Point! However, I do think they want him believe they have the power to get this info.
2. How creepy was it when Ben (Henry Gale) said to Kate...."because the next 2 weeks are going to be very unpleasant."???
[Kristen A Jones] - Yes, I found this eerie and wondered if they have been given the “sickness,” or if they are going to be put through grueling tests. I would have eaten the eggs and drank the coffee!
I'm not going to like this "defeated" Kate. It is just too sad...I love her and how strong she's always been. And, did you see her wrists? Poor thing!
[Kristen A Jones] Yes, it is sad, but wouldnÂ’t you be defeated too? I think I would just want to live with the others in civilization!
3. Guy that escaped....an Other? I think so.
[Kristen A Jones] Since he was young, maybe he was born into the Others, but does not share their ideals. Maybe he is rebelling like a young adult that moves across the country.
I think he's an Other and the whole thing was set up as part of an experiment to see if Sawyer would follow his lead and directions.
[Kristen A Jones] This is a really good point. It is just a big experiment.
4. Note that Julia/et used a CD at beginning of episode...so we can guess how long they've been there. No more than, what 12 or so years (large volume of cds, even if cds have been around longer, selection would not have been there...hmmm, i bet we could look up when that song was first released on cd).[Kristen A Jones] I think they have to have been there longer because of RussoÂ’s daughter growing up with them. I think this was a sign of contact with civilization. Her daughter is in her teens, right?
I didn't think about that. I think Alex is supposed to be about 16. Hmmm, interesting.
5. Looks like the love triangle is pointing toward the Kate/Sawyer match.
[Kristen A Jones] Yes, I think that is the way the people want it. I'd really be happy either way b/c I love them both. So sexy:)
6. I realize Jack had reason not to trust his father, but jeez louise!! He was a psycho stalker! He drove his Dad back to drinking!! No wonder he has issues! I think maybe we were just being mislead to think that there could possibly be something between Sarah and his Dad. It was terrible.
I felt so bad for him and was really pissed that she wouldn't just tell him who the guy was. I also think that this is the drinking binge when his dad goes to Australia and dies...would explain a lot. Also makes me feel so sorry for Jack.

I canÂ’t wait for next week when we get to see the rest of the survivors. Also, I thought the first two minutes of this episode was phenomenal. It literally made me sit up on the couch.
I also can't wait until the hot guy from Love Actually is introduced as a new character. Plus, what happened to Locke and DesmonEkod Ekko....so much to find out. Oh, and did you see the preview where it makes it look like Sun gets shot? Terrible.[Kristen A Jones] Yes, I am afraid she will lose the baby – or die since she has had sex on the island.

Also, do you think that Ben and Julia were involved at one time? I got a small vibe about that. Either that or he is the leader, but she doesn't "worship" him like everyone else and is her own, strong personality. [Kristen A Jones] I kind of thought Ethan was her husband. Maybe not, but at the beginning, when he was under the house fixing the pipes, I just assumed it was her husband under there. I definitely do not think she is the typical “Other.”
