I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO THINK I'M CRAZY

VS.

I know this may sound strange, but I have to admit it. And you may say, "tvgrrrl, you're crazy", to which I would say to kiss my butt, this is my blog and I'm going to tell you how I feel. Anyway, here I go, are you ready? I think Jericho is better then Lost. Okay, I said it.

I've told you guys about Jericho a few times, and I don't know if it's made a difference in your viewing, but so far this season of Lost, I'm not excited. Yeah, yeah, it was cool to see the plane crash from the side of the "Others" and Juliet's back story was pretty good, but I'm tired.

I'm tired of wanting more and not getting it. Oh, we found out what Jack's tattoos mean (one of them at least) and Desmond can see the future. Charlie's set to die, whoopee. That's great and all, but the Desmond thing, even after he explained it to Charlie, didn't make any sense. If he went back in time when he turned the key in the hatch, then how does he know about things that are going on, after the hatch? If he time traveled back, wouldn't it be from that point and before. How does he know about Charlie? Can he see the future too? He didn't express that to Charlie. So which one is it? Did he time travel or can he see the future or both. I mean, I know it's supposed to still be weird, and bizarre, and Lords of Kobol help me, but it's just not enough. I feel like a blasphemer. Forever Lost was my favorite show because with all the questions, I felt like there was an end, and that I would get satisfaction. Yeah, there'd be new questions, but that was the fun of it.

And then, this past week, the episode was advertised as "shocking" and that we had to watch it because everyone would be talking about it on Thursday morning. SIDE NOTE: Did anyone notice that the name of the episode was "Tricia Tanaka is Dead"? Isn't Tricia Tanaka the "Asian Reporter" from Family Guy? That's funny. So anyway, the whole episode I was waiting for the big reveal. You know, the one that I'd be talking about for days. Hurley rebuilt a car with Sawyer, Jin and Charlie. Charlie's still marked for death, and Cheech Marin plays Hurley's dad. Okay, so is one of them going to die? Is Charlie's time finally up? No.

Sawyer and Kate's return to camp was alright, but hello, why haven't they had a real conversation about what happened between them. They start to, but they use too much innuendo, and I got confused. Yes, me, who can decode anything, especially Sawyer speak. I think Kate gave Sawyer an out, but then it seemed Sawyer said he didn't want an out, but maybe that meant he did. Dear Lord, I have no idea. And where the hell are Michael and Walt? And what's up with Desmond's girl, Penny, who discovered the electromagnetic blip, AT THE END OF LAST SEASON?????

And then, Kate goes back into the jungle to find a way to go back and get Jack. Sayid and Locke follow her to help her out and we realize she's looking for Rousseau. She finds her and tells her that she needs to help her because she thinks the girl, Alex, who helped them escape is her daughter. That's the big reveal? Are you serious?!?! That's what we'd be talking about the next day? I figured that crap out last season when Claire was kidnapped. I am so irritated with them because of that. So ridiculous. Now, this coming week's episode looks like it might be good, but that's what it seemed like last week. When the show works, it works, very well. But when it doesn't work, it blows.

You know what is working? Jericho. I've always liked this show. The first show wasn't perfect, but I stuck with it because seriously, have you seen Skeet Ulrich? Anyway, it's just been getting better and better. This weekend I watched the latest episode, the second of the second half of the season (you still with me?) and it was so good!

I've always talked about how much I like the idea of what would people do if there was a Apocalypse type event. Well, this show delivers on so many levels. First, two weeks ago, we saw what happened the 48 hours before the bombs were dropped, which was perfect. Hawkins was driving one of the trucks that had a bomb in it (!!!), but didn't deliver the "package" because he saved his family instead. His girlfriend disappeared and he was threatened about something by the people who took her and they threatened to kill her and he left regardless. Jake was living in Mexico or something with a friend of his that he was in Iraq with, he can fly a plane, and those Ravenwood people who were after them before hiatus, Jake has a history with them. And not some weak history, they were after HIM!

And then in the one I just watched, Hawkin's girlfriend's back and she has plans,. Roger, Emily's fiance's back too, and he saw some crazy things while he wondered for two months. And Heather figures out that she can fix the power problem by building windmills. She goes off with a friend from another town they ran into at a trading post. I'm not sure if this is a good thing, and Jake might have to go rescue her, but that's what I'm talking about. Also, at the trading post we learned that news is coming in, there are six people claiming their the President, so there's probably going to be some type of war. Also, the packages dropped on Jericho from China weren't the only packages dropped, and they were dropped from all over the world. Jake asked the question, if the world is helping, then who exactly is behind this? Hawkins knows.

Seriously. This show is so good! We get real questions, with real answers, we're finding out bits and pieces and it's satisfying. Now, I'm not saying Lost won't redeem itself, I mean, Sawyer may take his shirt off and I may change my mind, but I'm not sure. Stay tuned.
