Bearonce!

I was fairly boring for Halloween.  I had to work.  But that’s ok, my good buddy Joe made up for everyone else’s boring Halloween by doing this:

(Two angles so you can see all the fab moves)

Amazing, right?   You’re welcome.   Extra points because his “cover” costume that he took off to morph into “Bearonce” was a Dharma Initiative Jumpsuit.  Love it.

h/t to Joe and Ben D. for the videos.

I Rest My Case.

In my earlier post, I expressed doubts at my original gut reaction, that it was Kate’s eye in the promo.   I was frustrated because I couldn’t find a good picture of Evangeline Lily doing that big wide-eyed shocked or scared Kate face that she does.  At the very least, I wanted a good shot without makeup to see the shape of her eye.

…Or is it Jack’s Eye or Ben’s Eye?

I received responses from many people who thought it was Jack’s or Ben’s eye.  I remain unconvinced.

My official theory is that the eye in the promo is meant to be a direct parallel to the times we’ve seen Jack’s eye and it specifically was made to closely resemble Jack’s but is not actually his.

But just for the sake of being thorough, let’s discuss and examine. Continue Reading…

on that mysterious eye in the LOST 2010 promo

So, I thought that someone would have done this already, but I couldn’t find it anywhere.   We need a photo comparison to investigate whose eye that is on the LOST final season 2 second promo teaser!

The way eye see it… (what, you didn’t really expect me to get through this without a bad pun, did you?) there are only two possibilities:

Hope for Dollhouse?

I feel like I really shouldn’t be getting my hopes up, but…

The other day Eliza Dushku’s twitter indicated that they are “in talks” with fox… which sounded like good news.   Next thing I read was that this Monday was the absolute latest they would have an answer about “Dollhouse”  (and other shows, like my fav. Terminator).  And now I came across this, on the tv industry blog The Live Feed:

Sources say Dollhouse fans shouldn’t lose hope; that despite the show’s recent ratings, the show is still alive. Whedon pitched the network on his vision for season two late last week. Discussions have commenced between Fox and the studio about how to make the show work financially.

I’m afraid to count on that, but that does actually sound like good news.  Or at least, Fox is giving it more consideration then I thought they were likely to.

Fingers still crossed.

And now that all three of my favorite-favorite shows this year have finished their seasons, I’m working on some “favorite moment” recap lists.   The “Dollhouse” and “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” posts should be up soon.    After last night’s finale, the “LOST” post might take a while, because my brain needs to stop processing those two hours and actually remember the rest of the season.

ListCaps: LOST 5×05 “This Place is Death”

This was a couple of weeks ago, now.  I’m super duper late and frankly, don’t care much about this episode, because last week’s episode (5×06) was SO amazing that I can barely remember what happened before it.  I’m really excited to recap that one.

So um… I’m going to skip ahead.

I know, I know, I’m awesome at this recapping thing.  Four fucking episodes and I can’t even keep up.   I promise to be better at this from here on out.  REALLY.  But in the meantime, here is a brief overview of the major bullet points of this episode.  And then also some handy links to some actual better recaps.

So this is my really basic, no-frills, nutshell-cliche kind of bullet-listed recap:

• Sun, and her gun, interrupts Ben’s little rendezvous with everyone at the dock.  He tells her Jin is still alive and she could kill him now and never know or give him a chance to prove it, but he needs to take her somewhere in order to do it.   Kate takes Aaron and leaves.  Sun and Jack go with Ben.  In the best scene of the episode, he pulls over the van and screams at them about how underappreciated he is, when he has been apparently struggling and working hard to protect them and all they do is complain, threaten and distrust him.
• Jin travels with Danielle’s party through the jungle.  They find mysterious ruins that we have never seen, being guarded by the smoke monster, which attacks their crew. They survive but become “sick” and later Jin flashes into another time to find Danielle on the beach shooting Alex’s father, who pleads with her at first but then indeed, does try to kill her.
• Jin (in another flash) is reunited with Sawyer and the group of survivors on the island.  He and Sawyer hug and it’s adorable and makes me go “Awwww”.   They continue on to the Orchid.   He gives Locke his wedding ring and makes him promise to  lie to Sun, tell her he is dead and never bring her back to the island.
• Charlotte becomes weak and ill and Daniel stays behind with her while the rest of the group continues on to the Orchid.  She confesses she was raised on the island with her mother.   She says there was a crazy man who kind of scared her as a child.  This man warned her never to return to the island or she would die.  She believes this man was Daniel.   She tells him all this and then quite predictably dies.
• They arrive at the Orchid and the station is not there.  Charlotte had muttered something about a well, so John finds the well and drops down into it.   Christian finds him there, reprimands him for ignoring his previous instructions and allowing Ben to move the island, instead of John himself.  The wheel apparently is off the axis and must be moved again to stop it, and for John to get off the island.  He does this and there is another flash.
• Ben brings Jack and Sun to the church where Mrs. Hawking is.  Just before they go in, he gives Jin’s wedding ring to Sun as proof that he is still alive.  She continues on with him (either because she believes him or has to go with him to find out for sure if Jin is still alive).   Desmond arrives (looking for Mrs. Hawking because of Daniel’s message) and they all go in.  She is disappointed that Ben was not able to get all of the Oceanic Six, but says that this will have to do.

The End.

The Ack Attack (OK, so this one is less comprehensive if you didn’t watch and really want to know all the details of what actually happened.  But it’s freakin’ hilarious.  Highly recommended.

And I will be back with my 5×06 recap tomorrow!  And some Dollhouse recaps soon too, if you are into that.

Cheers!
