THE STRIKE IS....

OVER. No joke!!

And here's what's coming back with more episodes:

"Lost" will go on a break after the March 13th episode and return April 24th (with what would've been the final 8th episode, but now is the start of the end of the season- though I don't know if we'll get another full 8 epis or not). HOWEVER, Lost will be moving to 10PM when Grey's Anatomy returns (does anyone really still watch that show? even the die-hards fans I know have been giving up on it). Come on ABC....really? 10PM? PUT IT BACK ON WEDNESDAYS. Hell, any day of the week would be good at 9.

"Moonlight" returns April 11th with four new episodes. Sweet.

Monday, Mar. 17 How I Met Your Mother (9 episodes)The Big Bang Theory (9 episodes)Two and a Half Men (9 episodes)

Friday, Apr. 4 Ghost Whisperer (6 episodes)Numb3rs (6 episodes)

And there are some other shows that will be returning, but I don't watch them so I'll leave you to check out the article over at Eonline.


Not returning as of today: "Heroes" (UGH- but may be returning late summer rather than late Sept like usual), "Pushing Daisies", "Chuck", "Gossip Girl",

"Lost"- Revisited

Spoilers below: Ye have been warned.

Despite the fact there are many answers we don't have, I find myself not really caring in light of some of the new mysteries we've been given in last night's episode, "Confirmed Dead". So, we now know that the new characters (whose introductions I really enjoyed, compared to the Nikki and Paolo fiasco- though they went out with a bang) are on the island for Ben. And they most definitely know about Dharma and the "lawyer" from Oceanic that visited Hurley in the institution last week is NOT working with Oceanic and is at least part of the mastermind behind the new group sent to the island.

So new questions- why do they want Ben (my guess is someone found out and is not too happy about the 40 people he killed a few years back...my thoughts? There must be Dharma members on the outside who know that there's been no communication with the island, and they've been searching for it)? And why is Miles so particularly angry?

-how the hell did a Dharma polar bear end up in the middle of a desert in Tunisia, and with a Hydra station collar?

-do you really think Dan didn't know why he was crying about Oceanic 815?

-Ben looked like he was telling the truth when he said he didn't know what the smoke monster was...but do you think he was?

-Will Miles be able to sense or see Jacob?

-Why doesn't Ben just keep his mouth shut? Do you think he secretly feels a need to be punished for his past crimes, or has a death wish? I mean, does he really think that his snarky comments won't get him beat up?


-On rewatching the premiere, "Jacob" was indeed wearing white tennis shoes, and was obviously in the form of Jack's father- but why? He could've appeared to be anyone to Hurley, as he wouldn't know Jack's father, so why that particular form? And who's eye was that? I don't think it was Locke, the face wasn't right. But it did kind of look like Mikhail (even though he's supposedly dead).

And, not really related to last night's episode, but kind of- I had the craziest "Lost" dream last night, in which nearly all of the survivors, with the exception of Kate, Sawyer and a couple of others were dead in the "war" (mentioned in the voiceover for next week's episode), and the bodies had all been put into a Dharma station that they were getting ready to explode so as to bury the bodies in a mass grave. Then I woke up feeling like I hadn't watched last night's episode yet and had to remind myself several times that I hadn't missed an episode, LOL.

Strike Update

It's hard to sort through all the double-talk that goes on surrounding the strike and the media black-out, but here's what it sounds like to me. The studios and writers have come to a verbal agreement, but nothing is on paper yet. The official contract should be forthcoming in the next few days/week at which point it could still be rejected. If it's not, though, and the strike is called to an end in the next week or two, some shows, particularly sitcoms and a few dramas (no, I don't know which ones) may be able to salvage some of the remainder of the TV season.

So there's hope- keep your fingers crossed that things will end quickly and maybe we'll be able to get a couple more episodes of "Lost".

Afterworld News

For those that have been watching on Budtv.com, you've probably seen up through episode 130, and know whether Russ' wife and daughter survived the fall. But, you also know that we were left with something of a cliff-hanger. Don't despair! More episodes are slated to begin in late spring. Check out www.afterworld.tv and there you can read Russ's journal (which, you'll want to keep an eye on for an entry that comes after epi 130- though this won't be up until after all the episodes have aired on youtube and myspace). Then, check out the WordWall to stay up to date on what's happening.
