"In other words, he's Biff from Back to the Future 2."

Heartbreaking. Simply brilliant. Last night's ep. was great. Less Kate, more Desmond! I want more of Kierst--er, Penny's--dad, too. What's up with the Black Rock ledger? Why did Mr. Widmore want it? Will it help him locate the ship, which presumably is on the island, even tho it's 1996? Did he send Desmond there? What about Faraday? Is Desmond his constant b/c his visit in 1996 meant so much to Faraday? Ben!--what is that guy's story?!?! And where it hell is Michael? For a peek at some theories, check out Doc Jensen's column.

Girlicious--the new Destiny's Child? The new PCD? The new Go-Go's? The new Eden's Crush?

Before I start, let me preface this with a thanks....THANK Everything that is good that the strike is OVER. No more reality!!!! I can't handle it!

Ahem. And now onto today's topic. So as many of you know I have been entertaining myself with Quantum Leap on DVD. (Seriously, Knight Rider can get remade, but Sam and Al can't come back? How injust!)

But last night I crawled into bed, and found that the only show on at 9PM without any dead bodies was Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious on the CW. So I watched. Bad idea. The premise is so not original: Robin Antin (her of PCD and way too many collagen injections fame) and her team are choosing 3 girls to become Girlicious!: the next all girl pop band. I'm sorry? You actually think I will listen to a band called Girlicious? It was cute when Fergie sang "Fergalicious", but please.

Show highlights include Natalie, the Queen Bee and all around b**ch, but of course she happens to be the most talented of the group- she can sing and dance and walk in a straight line and chew gum! She also is very pretty. But she's not a collaborator-oh no. When Charlotte asked if she could borrow Natalie's boots, she said no, and cited the fact that they were in competition with each other. Yes, Natalie, Charlotte will be made a member b/c she was wearing your boots. Did I mention that most of these girls are 18-20 years old? All pert and full of attitude.
Last night's ep featured the girls singing karoke of Sugar Ray's Fly and Nelly Furtado's I'm Like a Bird--all while Sugar Ray frontman and host Mark McGrath and Nelly were in the audience!?!? Is that fair? Wait...this whole show is unfair! Oh and the BIG CRISIS of the night-Jenna was taken to the hospital with a ruptured cyst-and she still put on a great show!
Still, there were some highlights: Jenna is the daughter of personal trainers, and she's a big girl, and I mean that in a good way! And Ilisa, the redhead, has a great and very different voice (plus, um, red hair!)

Bad, dumb show. If I had to say now, they'd be the next Eden's Crush. Remember them? The band from the VERY similar WB show, Popstars? There was one breakout star from that group. Her name? Nicole Scherzinger, the lead (and only) singer of the Pussycat Dolls. Huh.

Best ad of the night goes to Pepsi! For not one,but two great ads. But the best was the first. Chris Kattan was indeed the best cameo of the night. Better than all those "celebs" they kept showing at the game.

She went for a really BIG pile of firewood!

Beware--SPOILERS follow!!!!

O.M.W.

Was it worth the eight month wait? HELL, YES it was! Lost S.4 kicked off with a bang, a boom, and a lot of yelling last night. The new ep. seemed to go on for hours, but really was its usual 60 minute length. And why do they always answer some of our questions but leave us with new ones? So we find out that 6 people make it off the island, and three of them are Jack, Hurley, and Kate. But what about the rest of them?

And let's discuss Charlie, who looks cuter dead than alive: with less scruff and all spiffy. And those SHADES...what a ROCK STAR!

And we finally catch a glimpse of Jacob...or do we? Was it actually Jack's dead (or not dead) father in the rocking chair? (I admit, I watched this scene with closed eyes and peeked through my fingers---hey, it scares me--but I have on good authourity that Hurley saw Jack's dad in the rocker---or maybe it was Charlie. Thanks, Jeff Jenson of EW).

We also get another Oceanic connections...the detective that questions Hurley was Ana Lucia's ex-partner! And--you heard it hear first---The guy who says he is from Oceanic Air that comes to visit Hurley IS THE BLACK SMOKE IN HUMAN FORM! Well, that's my theory.

The acting/writing/and general layout of this ep actually made me forget it had been 8 months since we left the island. It felt like no time had passed at all, a true testament of these people's storytelling talents. I CANNOT wait for next week! So many answers...so many more questions...and yet even more theories! TV is back, people! Get on board!
