Putting Your Foot In It

Hello. Did you miss me?  I’ve been extraordinarily slack in maintaining this blog over the last month or so, bar the Twitter feed on the right that really just looks after itself. Genuine apologies. Grand plans to write up a series of previews and reviews of the Chistmas TV schedules came to naught (other than the obligatory “End Of Time” review in my most recent post on 1st January). May be I should just stop with the ambitious promises and grandiose plans and simply get my head down with the writing. For those that are interested,

Series Five Lost Review: Who Is This Mystery Man?

When Series Four of Lost ended with its mind-bending vision of the Island blinking out of existance, we all knew that the weirdness dial had been turned up to max but now that we have sat through Series Five, we have found ourselves experiencing that “What? WHAT? WHAT?” moment on an almost weekly basis. Spoilers lie ahead for those of you dear readers who are still playing catch up, so I’d advise that you go off and read something less boring instead if you want to stay all virginal and unspoilt.

Mr Moriarty, I Presume

Lost returned for UK viewers last Sunday (to Sky One and HD) for the slightly delayed, post-Writer’s Strike second half of season four.  Life for Lost fans had certainly picked up after the much improved fourth series had began with a series of great episodes that were up with the best that the show had produced and that, in a very real sense, contained honest to goodness answers to some of those infamous and infuriating

Four new people on the Island… Five new episodes

The strike is over and all the US networks have all announced plans for how they intend to have the curtailed series of their favourite shows produced.  ABC were one of the last to get their proclaimations ready but they delivered the goods as series four of Lost seems to be getting another five doses of island shenanigans, making a respectable 13-episode season and means that only 3 have been, erm, lost.  Over at The Watcher (a great blog I only recently discovered) you can track

Lost Returns… and so do I

Well, it’s a been a while since I’ve been here blogging and I lay the blame solely at the door of my employer: extra hours and a stressfull project are not conducive to my leisurely tapping away at a keyboard of a evening.  Also, the thought of having a job that involves tapping away at a keyboard (albeit in an un-leisurely manner) all day, only to come home and spend my “free” time doing exactly the same thing would seem a little masochistic.  However, the intervening period since the last post has seen a dramatic

Wierdy, Beardy Goings On

“Through The Looking Glass” brought to an end the third series of Lost and we know that there are just three years left to run… half way through. In fact, that’s a bit of a fib because each of the next three series will consist of only 16 episodes each, so in effect we’re 69 episodes down with 48 to go and well over half way to finding out all the secrets of the Island and its inhabitants. I won’t even attempt to summarise where we are at the moment in terms of the storyline as there is simply way too much going on (a quick visit to
