December 2008
Oh, Sayid: such a badass character, such mediocre flashbacks. Would his flash forwards be any less lame? The answer: only slightly, thanks to one of the great cliffhangers in Lost history.
Here are some of my favorite TV quotes from 2008:

The midseason finale of Prison Break
gives us plenty to chew over while we spend the long cold winter bereft of
Breakouts. Key questions: Is The Company evil or not? What's the deal with
Michael and Linc's mom? How many double-crosses did Gretchen really think she
could pull off? And why the hell wasn't Self the one who end up gut-shot and abandoned
in a parking lot?
When we last left our Momma's Boys and their bachelorettes, Jojo's mom Khalood was house enemy number one for being uber-prejudice. On the first night, the first of what I'm sure will be many confrontations with her began. I hate you Ryan Seacrest.

Previously on The Hills... Whitney left for the Big Apple, which made Lauren sad, and Heidi went to Mexico and through her tequila haze thought it'd be a good idea to marry her creepy, disgusting boyfriend.
Even though this is only an hour-long episode, this is one of my longer
recaps, people. And if I'm warning you ahead of time, you know that I
must be telling the truth. If you take public transportation to and
from work, as I do, print this bad boy out and read it on the way. Then
again, in this economy, maybe you should save yourself the ink and just
read it onscreen. But trust me, Lost fans: it's worth getting through,
as buried in here is the answer to everything that's going to happen in
Season 5, beyond, and behind as well. Don't worry: it'll all make sense by the end. Maybe.
This is one of those in-between weeks when you don't know if you are ready to be done celebrating Christmas or ready to move on to the hope of a new year. Luckily for us, we have a special that combines both.

We're about to button up 2008 and move on to greener pastures (and pantsuits), so who better to personify this year than a doctor who has caused more than a few hearts to experience palpitations?
