FX's Justified
I’m a big fan of FX’s new cop-drama/western Justified. It’s a seriously high-quality show, with really good regular actors and guest stars, great dialogue, and a kind of old-fashioned lawman + Southern Gothic nouveau vibe that I think is super cool. It also stars Timothy Olyphant, who is one of those actors that is immediately…

Everybody Loves Hugo
Let me start by saying that I wasn’t particularly excited about this episode. While Hurley seems to have become a fan favorite, he’s never been one of mine, and I thought that the Libby/Hurley romance was deadweight in season two, much less when it’s come back. I don’t particularly care about his function as audience…

"Recon"
So, I’ve finally got my episode. This was a completely solid episode where the mythology moved forward (more on this in a bit) and the alternate timeline scenes did not feel like dead weight. This is perhaps the first episode of this season that I might rank as one of the best of the series.

New LOST link on the blogroll
A LOST blog that’s new to me is The Dharma Blog, a two-person blog with both a pre-cap (speculation on what the next episode might contain, with minor spoilers from released guest star lists and the episode title) and a recap. I think that the online experience of speculation and dissection is half of the…

"Dr. Linus"
This is what I wrote before the episode aired: This is the make it or break it (use it or lose it?) moment for the show. It’s frustrating to me that I am so firmly in the show’s pocket that even if every single remaining episode is really bad. At the same time, I’m really…

The Good, The Bad, and the Meh: Three New Shows
I’ve been down with a nasty cold this weekend, so I’ve had some time to devour large amounts of television. In the past, The Office and LOST have been my weekly television mainstays, but LOST is in it’s final season, and I’ve completely stopped caring about The Office, so I’ve been looking for things to…

"Sundown"
Thoughts about this week’s LOST off the top of my head after the jump:

"The Lighthouse"
I’m writing this a couple days after the episode aired, so most of the online conversation has covered anything I might say about the episode, however I do want to say two things: 1. I’m still running a little cold on this season. It hasn’t been bad, per se, but there hasn’t been an episode…
