...Do you hate me? Don't. Because I'm about to share intel with those of you fiending for a Lost fix.

Oh...another week, another Momma's Boys. After Sweet Little Megan gave herself the boot in last week's "most dramatic elimination EVAH!", what other surprises does Ryan Seacrest's editors have in store for us? We'll see in what's only a one-hour broadcast. It's a post-Christmas miracle!

You know how some people make a new year's resolution to watch less TV? Well, obviously, THAT's not going to happen for me any time soon. I don't even understand the objective. Watch less TV? What a blasphemous statement.

I remember thinking quite clearly, the night this episode aired, "I feel really lucky to be alive to witness this." It's hyperbole, of course, since it's just a television show, but it was also one of the most creative and emotional piece of popular culture I'd ever witnesses. And so it meant both nothing and EVERYTHING at the same time, and generally left me in awe of Lost (again) and privileged to have a forum in which I can discuss the show.
Whitney Port's Hills spin off The City premieres tonight at 10 with two back-to-back episodes and I predict that it'll be our new guilty obsession... despite the fact that Whit's calm, cool personality could be considered kind of boring. The producers are good at what they do and I think they've surrounded her with a couple pieces of work to keep us interested. Namely her co-worker, Olivia Palermo, a "New York City socialite with an A-list lifestyle," who I'd simply describe as obnoxious and annoying -- though I've only seen a few scenes with her, so perhaps I'm being hasty in my judgement... probably not.
I think if there were a Top Ten list of places I'd least like to visit, Eggtown would have to be somewhere on that list. It's a place where little of interest happens, and what does happen stretches credulity to its absolute limit. While I'm not a Kate hatah, no Kate-centric ep has ever thrilled me. Or even particularly interested me. And this is the worst one of all. Hang in there, Lost fans. We're one ep away from greatness. We just gotta get through this one first.
This Sunday, HBO will air the eighth and final first season episode of Summer Heights High -- a spoof documentary series focusing on three characters at an Australian high school -- and if you haven't yet seen the show, you should quickly correct that mistake.
