    I dunno, maybe I'm pedantic, but... are these shows all on today? Next week? Every day? Next year? You've given a time for each, but no dates anywhere.

    ok I have a suggestion, you cover other sci-fi cartoons here like Clone Wars, and even cover Batman B&B. So why no coverage of the new Iron Man animated series?

    The Halloweentown movies are kinda fun for what they are- tweener stuff.

    But since Halloween is my favorite holiday, I'm rather biased.

    I just got through watching "Zombie Strippers" last week and it is actually really good. Believe it or not, the script is a lot more intellectual than you would expect and Robert Englund is awesome as the club's owner. TiVo it if you can't watch, or there is always Netflix.

    Damn it I love the "The Black Hole." Especially the end, where the writers and director figured SURELY nobody was still watching this thing at this point, what with being chased by flying meatballs / asteroids, and telepathic robots, and the touching scene with Robot Slim Pickens.

    The smoke monster is what corrupts all The Others.

    It's been around a bit before The Black Rock. Why?

    Because Richard Alpert is a pirate who arrived with The Black Rock. No going around it, the eye liner is a dead giveaway. Also the fact that anywhen the Oceanic survivors time-travelled, anywhere in time, Richard was already there for a long time. It's why he doesn't answer to anyone else from the others.

    Now back to the Smoke Monster.

    It's a defence mechanism. It resides within the temple. It takes people in, and it either kills them or turns them into others. At first The Others are savage as hell, but if they survive long enough they become more refined, enough to communicate and resolve matters through other means than violence.

    What sort of defence mechanism? From a crashed U.F.O. residing within the temple. The civilisation that discovered it built the temple around it, and probably also built the freak big-ass Statue.

    Something happened to that civilisation and they were wiped out.

    Then Richard Alpert crashed with The Black Rock on the island.

    What's probably also possible is that the smoke monster also takes the form of Jack's father when it suits its purposes.

    Not that I'd be opposed to seeing him in pirate garb, though... in fact, I'll be disappointed if that doesn't ever happen. woof.


    But Richard might even be older than that. Egyptian, maybe. Or a Cylon.

    The worst Kevin Costner movie of them all, Waterworld, will come jet skiing your way on Encore at 8 PM.

    This is hurting me twice over. First, ABC cuts Pushing Daisies, a show I loved. Then they're replacing it with rehashed episodes of Cupid...a show I loved that they also cancelled.


    If they cancel Scrubs, I may just remove ABC from my tv channel listings altogether. Too much heartache, too many shattered dreams.

    Wait wait wait wait. The new Cupid is based on the 90s Cupid?!? Why did no one tell me this? I LOVED the 90s Cupid! I haven't watched it since then, because generally rewatching the shows I remember fondly from the 90s just results in spoiling my memories [I'm looking at you, Lois & Clark and Not Insignificant Chunks Of The Part Of The X-Files That I Thought I Actually Liked]. But I loooved it at the time.
