You have to love a show that can actually one-up Buffy the Vampire Slayer for an “I’m back from the dead, miss me?” moment, which is exactly what Lost did with “Whatever Happened, Happened.”

I mean, OK, yes, that satisfying moment comes from the end of the episode, but there’s still a lot of great stuff there, like a great debate about time travel that actually worked in a Back to the Future “fading hand” reference.

Really, the only disappointing thing about “Whatever Happened, Happened” is that it was a Kate episode instead of, say, a Faraday episode, which is what one would expect from one named after a phrase so closely associated with the character. But, ah well, it was lovely all the same.

“Welcome back to the land of the living.” *snerk!*

I meant to post about it after I woke up, but I had a raging migraine. I still have it, but it’s somewhat better. A few hours kibbitzing about time travel with Dana on the phone helped. (Thanks, Dana!)

Anyway, go check it out. And remember…everybody kills Hitler on their first trip.

Free will may have given fate a poke with a pointed stick, but the gears of predestination are going to keep grinding away, just like any good Greek tragedy.

And hey, anytime I get to make a 12 Monkeys reference, I’m a happy girl.

Actually it went live in the wee hours…and just in time, too, given that tonight’s episode, “He’s Our You,” is mere hours away.

I’ve actually been really pleased with the responses people have been giving me to my Lost recaps (even despite their habitual tardiness…such a shocker from me, I know), though I’d love to hear some constructive criticisms so I can improve them.

Also, just like on this blog, you should mouse over all the links and images. I always put little easter eggs in ‘em.

Er, you do know to mouse over the links and images on my blog, right? Right…? Well, er, you should. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!

Not a recap this time…I’m telling my fellow Lostaholics who really want to geek out and actually engage in cosplay from their favorite TV addiction where to go to get everything they need to be kitted out like they were in the DHARMA Initiative.

My recap of tonight’s episode, “Namaste,” will be forthcoming.

Now would be the time to do it, too, with the current season of Lost being so DHARMA-involved. You can also make up DHARMA foodstuffs with a little creative re-labeling. Nice, eh?

If any of you wanna do a DHARMA group for Halloween, let me know. We’ll make that happen.

Stop…Sawyer-time!

That’s right, Lostoholics, we finally got a Sawyer-centric episode for the first time since early Season 3, and boy is it ever a doozy. And now you can read all about it over at DocArzt & Friends.

As for the rest of the promised posts, the Creeping Crud’s kept me seriously waylaid the last several days, as you may have read in my feverishly-written previous post. It’s only now finally just sorta-kinda starting to think about considering receding, so I’m hoping thaht over the next couple of days, I’ll start feeling a bit more like my usual self. Gah. All I can say about that is I’m sorry.

I’m back from SoCal and Baja and mostly caught up with obligations, not the least of which was getting out my DocArzt recap of “The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham” before the next episode of Lost aired.

Consequently, I have a whole raft of posts queued up to regale you with as the week progresses so that my blog does turn exclusively into a place for me to announce my posts on another blog entirely.

Have I mentioned that depression sucks? ‘Cause it does. Meantime, enjoy my recap, analysis, and wild speculation about The Passion of the Locke™.

Another week, another (late) Lost recap and analysis over at DocArzt & Friends. Unfortunately, with me traveling the latter half of this week and not getting back until Sunday, I’m not going to be able to get to this coming week’s Locke-tastic episode until about this time next week, too. *grump*

Ah, well…it’s all in a good cause. I’m gaining a sister-in-law as my kid brother (heh…34, lawyer, hardly a kid, I guess!) gets married.

There’ll be more posts before I leave, though!

I’m sorry and mea culpa. I’ve been neglecting my blog in a haze of depression and dithering. But, lest anyone think it was just this blog getting neglected, it took me the better part of a week to get my latest DocArzt post up, re: “This Place is Death.”

On the up-side, I did manage to work in a really sweet Watchmen parallel which enabled me to do screen-grabs of the fabulous-looking movie versions of Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias. And that’s always worthwhile.

Anyway, enjoy the Lost post and I have some non-Lost-related stuff brewing in here, too. I do have a wee test left to take to get my Apple certification, though, so give me a couple of days on that.

Hi, fellow Lostarinos! Pop on over to my new post at DocArzt & Friends and let’s talk theories about “The Little Prince.”

It turns out there was so much stuff in this episode that I actually found myself having to go back and re-examine one teeny-weeny uncovered tidbit that, in retrospect, seems slightly important. DO NOT read this post if you haven’t seen the episode yet, as it is spoiler-laden.

Here’s the link.

The Others just keep getting more and more intriguing, and I have a hunch as to why they are the way they are.

Enjoy!
