More on the LOST premiere

I am currently rewatching the season premiere of LOST season 6, and I have noticed a few extra things that I missed the first time around. First off, apparently they aren’t still in 1977. I totally missed that scene the first time – they show up at the Swan wreckage after Desmond blew it up. So are they in 2005 or whenever that was? Or have they caught up to the same time period as John Locke and Sun and Richard? Second, I guess Jacob really is dead – but what was he? He could be just like Richard maybe and just never ages, but then how does he have magical special powers and can bring people to the island but can die that easily – because let’s face it, it was way too easy to kill him and Mr. X Smoke Monster Man should have been able to do that forever ago. Speaking of people who die really easily, let’s talk about Jacob’s people who find John Locke’s body. They died way too fast and way too easily, which leads me to believe that when Jacob dies and says “they’re coming,” he isn’t tal

LOST Season Six Premiere

Well, last night was the season premiere of the final season of LOST. I don’t really have much to say about it, but I will say this. There is nothing I hate more than a TV show that makes it seem like some discovery is a huge deal even though the audience totally knew it already. For example, we already knew that John Locke was in the casket and his body was inhabited by the smoke monster aka Mr. X. This was not surprising. At all. For me, it was also not surprising that there are now alternate timelines, one of which is on the island after the explosion and the other that restarts as if the crash never happened. I figured this out forever ago, for real. I do like that it seems as though everyone’s life is shittier now that they didn’t crash on the island – except Charlie, because being in jail is better than being dead, at least in my opinion. But Rose will be dying soon probably, and Jin is going to prison or something, and John Locke is still very sad, which makes me very sad. But a

Today is a BIG Day

The Grammys

Okay, first of all, the Grammys sucked this year. Hard. Harder than last year, which was pretty much impossible. The performances were lame overall and off-key, and they only presented a handful of awards. Lady Gaga and Elton John started the night off with a basically lame performance – they’re both great but it was dull. I also don’t understand why they give out so few awards – I had no idea Beyonce won six awards until I read the paper this morning, and that’s crazy. I looked forward to the Oscars in March, because it hardly ever disappoints – unlike the Grammys. Ugh.
