LOST Season 6 Episode 5 The Lighthouse

Answers, really?

ABC keeps repeating that "The time for questions is over," yet this weeks episode provided virtually nothing we didn't already know. So what did they give us to think about?

Someone is coming to the island. Who is coming?

We aren't told directly but I believe it may be someone named "Wallace." Jacob told Hurley to set the dial at the lighthouse to 108 degrees. I paused,(thank you DVR) and could see that the name next to 108 was Wallace. I thought for sure it would be Desmond. Maybe it is a code name. Almost all the names are crossed off minus the LOST crew we have known from season 1. Number 55 is not crossed off however and is a black scribble with what looks like the name ash next to it. I think this is significant of the smoke monster, or Claire's "friend" as she put it at the end of the episode.

Next question. Why isn't Sawyer with Locke when he arrives at Claire's tent?

It sure seemed like they weren't leaving each others side last week when they claimed they were "leaving the island together." Now Sawyer is gone. Any ideas where he is?

Last new info: Jacob tells Hurley they can't go back to the temple because someone bad is going there, and it's already too late.

I was sure Dogen and Jacob were on the same side but they don't seem to be in this episode. When Hurley is in the temple with Dogen, Jacob makes no attempt to communicate with him through Hurley. Now we realize Jacob left Dogen at the temple, likely to die. Everyone in the temple panicked when they heard Jacob was dead, yet he does nothing to help them. If it is "too late" to save them, maybe it's playing back to another Lost theme that you can't change your destiny, and I think Jacob may just be unable to do this. He can't interfere with their destiny.

Last note of speculation... I think that in the alternate universe Fairaday will have never stopped playing piano and will meet Jack through his son's piano playing. His son is playing the same piece Fairaday plays as a little boy in season 4, just when his mother tells him he can't play anymore. I don't think this is a coincidence.

Jim and Pam's unbelievable relationship

Ok so I lied. I said last week we were going to talk about the latest episode to tide us over until the Olympics are over, but then I got to thinking... So we are going to talk about Jim and Pam's relationship in preparation of The new baby. I know it is a little lengthy but it's necessary to explain it all, so let me do my best to summarize quickly:

• Jim and Pam first met in, obviously, the 1st season. Pam was married to Roy (warehouse worker) but you could see that there was some feelings going on between the two of them. Knowing that Pam was taken, Jim started dating the purse-sales lady that, Katy, that came into the office one day and they hit it off.

• In the 2nd season, they continue in their respective relationships. In the episode, "The Booze Cruise", Jim plans on telling Pam how he feels and the awkward 20 second silence says it all. But, later Roy finally decides to set the date for their wedding and Jim is crushed. Jim then proceeds to break up with Katy on the boat and later slips the secret to Michael, of all people, that he likes/liked Pam. Later on at the season finale, Dunder Mifflin holds a casino night and Roy leaves early. Jim and Pam find themselves alone and Jim professes his love to Pam and they kiss. She feels the same way but insists on marrying Roy still.

• Season 3 starts and Jim has transferred to the Stamford branch because he can't be around Pam anymore. Meanwhile back in Scranton, Pam breaks up with Roy soon after the Jim situation occurred. While in Stamford, Jim meets a fellow worker named Karen and they soon begin dating. Scranton soon merges with Stamford and both continue production in Scranton. Pam in a fit of jealousy decides to get back with Roy but tells him about Jim kissing her while they were still engaged. Roy tries to attack Jim but Dwight steps in and hits him with pepper spray. Roy is soon fired and out of the picture. Jim and Karen decide to interview to be Michael's boss at Corporate in New York, formerly held by Jan (Michael's girlfriend), and Jim finds a medal from the Olympics episode and a memo that says, "Don't forget us when you're famous! Pam". He then leaves New York, Karen, and the interview and goes back to Scranton and asks Pam out on a date to end the season.

• As season 4 opens, Jim and Pam have finally decided to date but are keeping it a secret from the rest of the office, for obvious reasons. But soon after word finally leaks and everyone knows. The season continues with few hitches but they are finally happy. In the finale, Jim prepares to propose to Pam at the office carnival but is overshadowed by Andy proposing to Angela.

• Season 5 has Jim and Pam working through a sort of long distance relationship but they are making due. Finally, Jim meets Pam at their truck stop and he proposes in the rain to her. They continue on, engaged, and in the finale, Pam is taken to the hospital after being injured in a company softball game, only to realize she is pregnant. The season ends.

• The 6th season has the couple announcing their pregnancy unwillingly and that they are planning to get married in Niagara Falls. The wedding episode is probably one of the best episodes to date and is hilarious throughout. The wedding doesn't go exactly how they wanted but in the end they get married privately on the Maid Marian under the Falls and then go back, late to their ceremony. And now, they are finally expecting the baby.

WHEWWW... that was a mouthful. But now that the baby is coming what do you think will happen next with the show? What will happen to Jim and Pam? Give me your feedback and I look forward to hearing from you.
Next week, we will discuss "The Delivery" episode and what happened. So stay tuned and stay posted.

Entourage Season 1

Before we start the recap of season 1 lets meet the cast:

Vince- An up and comming movie star
Johnny Drama- Vince's brother and "actor"
Eric- Vince's best friend and manager
Turtle- Vince and the guys friend
Ari- Vince's agent

Entourage is about 4 guys from Queens New York (Vince, Drama, Turtle, Eric) living the life of the rich and the famous in L.A. as Vinces stock as an actor rises.

Season 1 begins with the opening of Vince's movie "Head On". Despite poor reviews the movie turns out to be very successful. Throughout the season Vince appears on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, the crew crashes a night out with Eric and his new love interest, Turtle breaks a sculpture made by Gary Busey, and Eric and Vince must decide to do a movie that will have Vince doing some questionable scenes. At the end of the season Vince decides to do the movie after finding out the scenes were put in the movie as a joke from the high strung director. The season was filled with hilarious comments, amazing women, and luxuries that would leave most people jealous.

Quote of the Season
"$ 2,500 a month his brother (Drama) spends on vitamin supplements. Nobody, could take that many supplements, and still fucking live." - Marvin ( Vince's accountant)

Trivia Question

Top Five South Park Episodes

After 13 seasons and 195 episodes, South Park has had countless classics. In this post, I have narrowed it down to what are my five favorite episodes of the entire series. This was a difficult task and I'm sure many of you will disagree with my picks but here they are:

5.  Red Hot Catholic Love

This episode revolves around the controversial topic of child molestation by priests. The South Park priest, Father Maxi, travels to the Vatican to try to solve the problem and people start to poop out of their mouth. There are several classic moments in this episode including: anytime people poop out of their mouth, Father Maxi at the Vatican, the Gelgameks, and the Queen Spider.  This episode featured the classic satire that South Park is known for.

4.  Woodland Critter Christmas

Stan agrees to help a group of adorable woodland critters build a manger in anticipation of the birth of their lord and savior, only to find it is the antichrist. I love this episode for so many reasons. The lion cubs learning to perform abortions is hilarious and the corny names of the critters, like Beary the bear, are funny small aditions. Also, the twist that these cute woodland critters are actually followers of satan is hilarious.

3.  Night of the Living Homeless

The homeless come to South Park in this "Dawn of the Dead" parody. The episodes hilarious parodies of countless zombie films makes this episode an instant classic. Some of my favorite moments are: the suicide attempt by the homeless expert, Cartman jumping the homeless, and when the boys lead the homeless to the California by singing a modified version of "California Love."

2.  Miss Teacher Bangs A Boy

In this episode, Cartman is appointed hall monitor and Kyle finds out that his little brother is sleeping with his Kindergarten teacher. Cartman acting like Dog the Bounty Hunter is the highlight of the episode, especially when he assembles his team to find Ike. Just seeing Beth, or Dawg's Bitch, with breasts so large you can only see above her forehead, makes me crack up every time. Also, it's great when Kyle tries to turn the kindergarten teacher into the police only to have the police respond to the complaint with "Nice!"

1.  Scott Tenorman Must Die

After being tricked into buying Scott Tenorman's pubic hairs, Cartman sets off on a quest of revenge, resulting in one of the darkest and funniest episodes of all time. Each plot for revenge Cartman comes up with is worse than the last, ending with cartman feeding Scott his parents at the Chili Con Carnival cookoff. The end when Cartman reveals his plot to everyone at the cookoff is the funniest moment of the entire series, and the part when Cartman is licking the tears off of Scott's face is icing on the cake.  

Well, that's my list of top five South Park episodes. For anyone reading this article, I encourage you to post your own list, crap all over my list, or praise it. See you next week with my top Cartman Moments.

LOST SEASON 6 (Episode 4-The Substitute)

This is my first post of a weekly recap of LOST. I'll also post some theories for discussion. This weeks episode, "The Substitute" got Lost back on track after last weeks extremely slow episode. I'm still a bit disappointed. They say "the questions are over" but they unleashed all sorts of new ones this week. The good news is they are questions we want to ask. Who is the new blonde boy? Why does he seem to hold so much power over someone who is able to turn into a pillar of black smoke? Also, are the names written in the cave actually there for the reasons "Locke" says they are. It's my opinion that he is lying about everything to get Sawyer to join his team. It may not even be Jacobs place. For someone who was able to be killed it seems like an unlikely place for Jacob to set up his home. (Not so much for Smokey) I also feel that he is going to recruit many of our other Lost friends leading to the ultimate battle where friends become enemies and enemies become friends. Next weeks episode is called the lighthouse and from the looks of the preview we will find out more about Claire and hopefully how she was "claimed." It also looks as if Jacob will make an appearance! Look for a recap next week. The trailer is embedded below.
