I caught the season six finale of House (skipping through almost two entire seasons to get here) for no other reason than it was filmed on a Canon DSLR and I wanted to see how that would look like. If I didn’t know that little factoid beforehand, I don’t think the difference could be made [...]

The last new episode we’re ever going to get before the finale in just five days. Was it as exciting as the penultimate episodes of previous seasons (like Season Three and Four)? No. But it seemed like a good “calm before the storm” episode for a few final chess moves and a few revelations, just [...]

I was trying to find the Grey’s Anatomy quote I wanted (or maybe it was from House? or Scrubs?) and I don’t think I have the exact one, but this one comes close:
As doctors, patients are always telling us how they would do our jobs. Just stitch me up, slap a band-aid on it and [...]

Great episode this week focused exclusively on Jacob and the Man In Black without our main characters. It seems a pretty polarising episode online, but I absolutely loved it. Here are my thoughts.
There are no Flash anythings in this episode so I’ll go in chronological order:
Unknown Date And Time
We start the episode with yet another [...]

It’s been nearly two years since I’ve quoted How I Met Your Mother (primarily because Season Four was pretty damn mediocre) but I’m finally making my way through it and here’s a cute little scene from episode 17.
Barney: Tell me more about being married
Marshall: Well sometimes, when you’re married, you wake up to the smell [...]

It’s going to be a short review/thoughts post because a lot of what happened in this episode was relatively straightforward, moving pieces around kind of set up. Let’s get to it, Flash Sideways first.
Flash Sideways
We finally see all our Losties’ stories come together in the Flash Sideways, in a way that is way too convenient [...]

Marcus Foreman: I won’t let you down.
Eric Foreman: Don’t do that. Let’s just… see how it goes.
The power of promises (or not making them).

As the cowboys Jet and Cord (from The Amazing Race) would say: Oh. My. Gravy. My jaw literally dropped and was left gaping twice in the episode, and that’s a first for any television show. This episode got me so excited I’m typing this after viewing the episode just once, so pardon me if I’ve [...]

So it has just been revealed this week on LOST that LOST “is a love story”. There’s no denying that the characters have always been the emotional push of the show (though the larger mythology appeals too) but I wanted to say how it’s interesting that the #1 television show ever (in my opinion) and [...]

Going to have to bang this out quick before I head out today. Overall I thought Happily Ever After, while not revolutionary was a solid LOST episode. One that no doubt lays the groundwork for what is going to happen with the Flash Sideways and sets Desmond up to be the hero of the series. [...]
