Man In Black: They fight. They destroy. They corrupt. It always ends the same.
Jacob: It only ends once. Anything before that is just progress.
As usual, thank you LOST writers for your infinite wisdom.

Before I start I feel the need to comment on how hokey Lost can be for people who haven’t been watching since Season One. My sister was behind me watching for the first ten minutes and when they showed the Temple she was like “That’s not an Island” and when they showed the Spring she [...]

Yes, the first episode of season six.
The first time in the history of Lost (maybe the history of television?) that no footage from the new season has been used in any promotional video, advertisement or any such media.
Why? Because at the end of last season, Juliet detonated Jughead (the hydrogen bomb) and the world turned [...]

Unlike many Trekkies, I haven’t waited for years for a new Star Trek film. In fact, prior to watching the show today, I wasn’t sure which incarnation of Star Trek was which and found myself wondering “when’s Worf going to show up?”, until I realised that was a different Star Trek.
Armed with that much “knowledge” [...]

The short story: watching Wolverine was like watching Mortal Kombat with mutants. Different powered people fighting each other and showing off powers. Which, you know, in itself isn’t too bad, if you’re prepared for it going in.
Like the girlfriend, I thought the beginning sequence was well constructed. I was [...]

A couple of weekends ago I sat down and read my backlog on Ex Machina graphic novels: Smoke, Smoke (vol.5), Power Down (vol.6) and Ex Cathedra (vol.7). Some background: Mitchell Hundred was caught in an explosion and got the “superpower” to speak to machines and went by the name The Great Machine. After he used [...]

Inspired by Rayni, I’ve decided (albeit very belatedly) to post up the shows I will continue to watch this season. The series are in no particular order because some I can’t decide how much I like, and putting it in chronological order wouldn’t work cos I timeshift all my shows anyway.

Heroes (because I want to [...]

Awesome, awesome promo poster from Dark UFO of the fifth season of Lost. Excellently framed, tells the story who’s on and who’s off the island, everyone looks great!
Where’s Jin and Claire? And it’s cool that Sawyer is front and center on the island and that Charlotte, Miles and Daniel are full-blown cast members and appearing [...]

Why do I like Katy Perry (other than the obvious fact that she’s so darn cute)? She’s fun. And that’s something lacking in the music world these days.
Check out what she did at the MTV Latin Awards:

And what she’s dressed up as at another concert (image from Trendhunter):
And if you watch her “Hot N Cold” [...]

My general thoughts so far on the freshman series that have debuted this year: Not bad, but waiting for better. An underlying trend in all of them is that apparently an overarching “mystery” or story arc is the way to go these days (a la Heroes or Lost). The shows in question? Knight Rider 2008, [...]
