Asides

Short posts due to not wishing to be overly wordy about an item or simply about, or a link to, another site on the interwebs.

ATHF: The Marines

+3

I don’t get why Shake is still doing awful things to kittehs, but me likey this ep nonetheless. Would have been funny to see them also enlist Carl, but whatevs.

Lost: The Other Woman

I actually had to comment twice — to start anyway — over on Ed’s post, but here’s a link to the first one. Even though the ep shifted down a gear from last week’s, it was still a good one. I mean, we got Juliet in a bikini… how can you go wrong there?

Yes… I am doing that, again, on purpose… 😉

ATHF: Laser Lenses

“Your mouth is writing checks your cup can’t cash.”

I think the worm has turned for the teens. This one was great until it fell down at the end when Carl’s cousin Terry shows up to give Frylock eye… well… let’s say, his eyes needed a bra. Just didn’t see the point to that part, but otherwise, very good.

Carl and Shake made this thing work. So, by my count, the season is now on a positive note…

Lost: The Constant

So, I started watching this episode about 15 minutes after it started, so I was a little more confused than I should have been, and with time jumping/traveling, that’s shaky ground already! I think I need to start guaranteeing I get myself out of work in time to get home for nine so I can watch all of it in HD. Either that, or waste money on a Comcast DVR cable box so I can record it in HD. Media Center only records standard def over cable.

Obviously it made more sense when I watched the beginning after the end. My comments are on the newly refreshed Ed Zone.

Random TV moment, the guy playing the freighter doctor appeared in the episode of Eli Stone that aired after Lost. In that, he played an automotive corporation whistle-blower cum Hawaiian surf shop owner after being paid off…

I know you don’t care, it was just random. I know this because, yes, I sit thru Eli Stone to watch Julie Gonzalo, who was on Veronica Mars last year, and is way, way cuter/hotter as a brunnette.

Uh-oh… not only is this a long aside, but it is devolving into my Lost aside posting practices from the end of last year… you know, where I just talk about the ladies. Must be something about Spring approaching. 😉

Lost: Eggtown

I posted a couple comments over on Ed’s post. I have a new Six which I will reveal here: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Aaron, Sun. The two that die (from the Eight)? I am going with Claire (duh!) and Jin.

As you’ll note from my comments over there, I apparently wasn’t hearing too well last night when I watched the ep. I guess I need to crank it up next week!

Lost: The Economist

So, my thoughts on who leaves from my comment back to Chris rang true, which makes smack-the-forehead sense. The Oceanic Six would have to be people from the passenger manifest. That means, people that returned and were not on the flight would be unpublicized I’m sure. Therefore, between my initial list, additional modifications and the roll-up from the last set of comments to this week, I have a new list… two, actually, and the Ben reveal also has me putting Locke in the box, but with a possible wrinkle.

Anyway, the new comments are, of course, over on The Ed Zone post.

ATHF: Redickulous

Shake killing pets in the microwave. Carl using a device that, um… well, we won’t get into the stuff around Carl. It was enough that I don’t care to put the words here. Episode seemed like a mash-up. Two ideas smashed together. Badly. I really think I am done here. I’ll watch this week’s since it involves furries, and they are just so weird.

Lost: Confirmed Dead

So far, so good. Left my comments over on Ed’s post. I am starting to think of adjusting my six. I might change out Desmond for Juliet and Locke for Sayid. That’s just because those two just linked up with Jack, Kate and the “rescuers.”

Lost: The Beginning of the End

Per standard practice from last year, I am simply going to dump an aside here to my comments on Ed’s post about each episode over on The Ed Zone. For summary here, my six are: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sawyer, Locke and Desmond.

My other civic duty

I’m proud to vote for every major election and primary. Since I have been old enough to vote, I have voted in every one (including when away at school via absentee ballot) except this last Fall for governor. I couldn’t make it home from work in time because I was running late that morning! Luckily, Patrick had my vote and didn’t lose/tie by one. 😉

I voted tonight, did you?
