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.

WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

You may ask. Or you don't ask, and in that case, screw you! Since I decided for a few weeks there to actually work, I haven't been able to update my page in a long time. And there are so many good shows on. 24 is of course spectacular, LOST finally started back up again. Can't say I'm too thrilled with it lately, but it's gaining my trust again, and the last three episodes of Grey's have been the best in a long long time, which is saying a lot because all of the shows are always good.

This is about 7 seconds after my heart broke

I think my need to take a break from this is because of Curtis. If you haven't watched the first few episodes of the 6th season fo 24 then you should stop reading now and skip to the next paragraph. Of course, if you're like me you're going to want to read this next sentence, because when someone tells you not to look, you just can't help it. But hopefully I buried this sentence enough that it won't make a difference if you don't have any self control and want to know what I'm going to say. Anyway, when Jack killed Curtis, I just shut down inside. I tried to write the recap for that and just didn't feel it. Ever since then I've been avoiding writing about it. In fact, I avoided watching the show for a few weeks. I know, what's wrong with me? Jack is my soulmate, how could I not spend every moment I have with him? Right. Then, this past weekend, I sat down and committed to four hours of Jack Bauer. I can't think of any better way of spending my Saturday afternoon.

Yeah, what was I saying?

Although, I spent my Sunday afternoon with Sam and Dean Winchester. I've started watching Supernatural. I watched the first few episodes last year when it premiered but because me and the programmers of the broadcast networks don't get along, they scheduled it at 8pm on Thursdays. Or 9pm, something like that. Anyway, it was up against two other things and because I have a roommate, I couldn't make her miss CSI or whatever it was, just for this show. So a few weeks ago I bought the Season 1 DVD and with left over Christmas iTunes gift certificates, got the Season Pass for Season 2. I always knew I liked this show, I mean really, what straight, red blooded woman wouldn't like to watch these two? I mean, come on, seriously. Who do I need to talk to to get these guys to jump in a pool or something? Now that would be hot. And HELLO, Denny from Grey's plays their Daddy. Hot Daddy for sure. I'm a few episodes away from the Season 1 finale, and can't wait. I still have about 15 or so more episodes to go to catch up, I think, and look forward to spending more time with my boys. Especially Dean. Oh Jensen, I remember you when you were Eric Brady on Days and was in love with that ho Nicole, until she married Lucas so he'd get custody of Will. Damn you Nicole!

I rest my case

Men in Trees keeps getting better and better, with great songs, great acting, and Marin's best friend Jane steals every scene she's in. And she totally loves Plow Guy, they need to be together. And Marin finally read Jack the riot act after he didn't tell her he and Lynn were engaged. And what's up with Jack and Lynn? I don't get it, she is so not right for him and he's only with her because she's pregnant. With another man's kid too. What the hell? And that new guy that's now living with Jack (hahaha, I accidently wrote Jack here, but thought I'd keep it in since it's funny as hell. hahahah. I meant Marin). Holy Hotstuff Batman!

Teamwork

The Amazing Race: All Stars started, and I love Rob and Amber. I know it's a crazy thing to say, because most people hate them, but I love them for some reason. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the fact that I think Rob is just about the cutest thing with the cutest accent ever, but I just like their story. And freakin' Mirna and Schmirna. Hahah. Last week when the little one had the big one on her shoulders? Priceless.

Will somebody get the fat guy out of the way please?

Survivor's back and with a much more diverse cast. The sad thing to think about though is all these people are the rejects from the racial one last season. I mean good for them and all, but still. There are some good characters, like Rocky and Yao Man (not sure if that's how you spell it, I'm too lazy to go to cbs.com). Hopefully it'll be a good season.

America's Next Top Model starts today (Wednesday, Feb. 28th) and I think my Tivo may be rejecting it. I love this show though, I think my roommie and I may need to give up taping The Bad Girl's Club. Have you been watching this? Good Lord, if you think The Real World is crazy, then this is just nuts. Basically they get 7 crazy bitches who have drinking and sexaholic problems and put them in a house together. Two girls have already been kicked out for fighting. They were beating some of the other girls in house.

Can I not talk about American Idol? Ok.

Seriously? No, seriously?

And finally, Jericho is back. If you guys aren't watching this, you really need to. The first episode back, although not very highly publicized, was so good. It followed our group for the 48 hours before the bombings and you found out a lot. You know, like how Hawkins was supposed to drive one of the nuclear bombs to a city and blow it up, but chose to save his estranged family instead and now the people who wanted him to blow up the city are after him. Oh yeah, that. That show continues to amaze me. Truly.

Well, hopefully I'll get the will to live again after the 24 fiasco and write up a few recaps. Thanks for being patient (Mom).
