Emphasis mine. If you're wondering if Lost set any kind of finale ratings records, please remember this is 2010, and it's near-impossible to beat what you did last week, much less what M*A*S*H did in 1983. So, with that in mind, be not surprised when we tell you the very...

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor. This sums up why I thought the finale was a bit lacking. Everything I looked forward to resolving over the course of six years turned out to be a four-toed red herring. Remember when we would all 'gather around the water...

1. Giacchino's score was really exceptional. I'm looking forward to re-watching this on a real TV with a real stereo soon. 2. Jack passing the torch to Hurley with an old Oceanic water bottle. Little bit of an environmental statement there, why not? 3. Kate's moments. "Christian Shephard - really?"...

I am bringing a lawsuit against the Governor of Florida. A while back a friend told me that the Republican Governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, was using the Talking Heads song “Road to Nowhere” in a campaign ad. He’s running...

First, it's an apt metaphor for the entire series, in that it contains the promise of a blinding revelation, but it's hard to find, and if you do find it and try to penetrate it, it vanishes and in the process spews out all this bullshit. Second, it's open to...

Here are the ten things I hated about last night's LOST episode, in no particular order. Title deliberately designed to drive as much search, Twitter and Facebook traffic as possible. 1. **Not one, but TWO new characters.** The mother, and then the homicidal mother. Introducing new characters at this point...

What if the producers, knowing that expectations for the finale were unbearably high, decided to stage a preemptive gutter ball a couple of weeks before? Viewed through this lens, "Across The Sea" begins to make some sense. It's a two-pronged logic: first, they've removed the most troublesome elements of the...

I think I finally realized last night that it's not a creative problem but a structural problem with the form. In other words, we were going to be disappointed no matter what and we're the stupid ones for believing we wouldn't be. Or maybe the Lost producers were stupid for...

Here are the ten things I hated about last night's LOST episode, in no particular order. Title deliberately designed to drive as much search, Twitter and Facebook traffic as possible. Pretty good, but as I commented, too nice. Too generous, even. Here's the same post, but with a little twist:...

Revelation of the day: Mark Pellegrino, who’s most recognizable these days as Jacob on “Lost,” also played the Blond Treehorn Thug in The Big Lebowski. So if you’re a Hollywood casting agent and you need an actor who can forcibly dunk a guy in water, Pellegrino’s your man. Up next...

Once upon a time, I was a HUGE fan of Lost. Not the case anymore, and I'll spare everyone the details as to why. What I will divulge however, is that somewhere during the second season of the show, my Brother and I started to email each other little comic...

"41 Floors" My good friend Annie (and fellow PencilHead) snapped some pics with her Rebel during Friday's snowstorm, and sent this one over to me earlier. She's an extremely talented photographer with a wonderful eye, and I felt like sharing:) Check out her work via Flickr here: Lil' Tao! Cheers,...

After muttering about how an AVATAR franchise would make sense and hinting that there could be a trilogy of AVATAR films, James Cameron has confirmed that there will be an AVATAR sequel, fueling speculation about how it might top the original. Things we do know: There are two planned sequels but they won't be one continuous story, they'll be self-contained. They'll also follow Jake and Neytiri. It could take place around a different moon of Polyphemus this time, although producer Jon Landau has already hinted about exploring Pandora's interior. Some bloggers guess that James Cameron, famously obsessed with water, has...
