Tonight I watched new episodes of two regular TV shows I used to watch before the strike - CSI New York and Criminal Minds. They were both a little lack luster, but hey, I can’t complain too much.

As I wait for new episodes of my favorite shows, here’s some TV gossip.

Question: What’s this I’m hearing about a major kiss in Lost’s season finale? — David

Ausiello: More like a “spectacular kiss” — Damon Lindelof’s words, not mine. In the new issue of Lost magazine, DL teased, “Romance is always blooming on and off the island. And I hereby promise you one of the most spectacular kisses you’ve ever seen on the show in this year’s finale.” Naturally, I pressed DL’s partner in crime, Carlton Cuse, for further details on the earth-shattering smooch, to which he replied, “I can disclose no more details other than to say it’s one of my favorite moments of the whole series so far. And contrary to some speculation, it is a male/female kiss.” OK, so it’s not Mr. Friendly and his little Rent Boy. Who does that leave? Oh, right: Pretty much every other couple on the frakkin’ show! Damn you, Team Darlton!

 

Oh no! Guess what was my first thought was after reading this: “Romance is always blooming on and off the island.” I read it as Sun and Hurley getting it on! Remember when Hurley met Sun to visit Jin’s grave? He asked her if anyone else was coming, in which she replied, “No.” Hurley then said, “Good.” That coupling has an ick factor doesn’t it? Like dating your cousin, or something. Right now, I’m waiting for my co-workers to catch up to this season’s Lost and when it returns, hopefully Ras and I will host a Lost viewing night. So far, the people I know who watch it are Dave, Peter, Bart, Thomas, Melissa, and Nathan. Thomas just finished Season 2 and now thinks Rousseau is the key to the island and there’s no way she would die. Bhahahahaa! (You’d know why I’m laughing if you’ve watched the latest episode.)

If you’ve ever wondered what the big deal was with Battlestar Galactica, here’s a recap of the entire series in eight and a half minutes.  Pretty funny stuff if you’ve ever watched an episode or two.  The last season returns in the beginning of April.

I’m pretty excited that Taylor Kitsch is set to play Gambit for all three Wolverine movies.  Taylor plays my and Allison’s favorite character on Friday Night Lights: Riggins.  Josh Halloway of Lost was in talks to play Gambit, but he declined, saying it was too similar to Sawyer, his character on Lost.  Plus, I’m pretty sure he’s busy filming Lost.  Finally, Gambit is in an X-Men movie.

 

The best part of the article are all the comments at the bottom.  Comic book fans have some pretty strong feelings about who plays the characters they’ve grown up with.  The following made me laugh.  So, what are your thoughts?  Who’s your favorite X-Men character?

I’m sick of all the complaining where Gambit is going to fit in to this story. First, you all complain that Gambit isn’t in any of the movies. And now, he is in this movie, and you’re still complaining! You should be thankful he’s even in this film. You ever think the writer and director did this for you guys? It’s either this or no Gambit. So stop complaining and be thankful for this.

Allison and I have been trying to coordinate a Skype chat for the last week, and finally managed to do so today. Among many things, we talked about school, Korea, plans for the future, moving, mutual friends, the Flicker in Seoul group, Heath Ledger’s death, wigs, dakalbi, The Grammys, and our mutual love for Friday Night Lights. We both agree that Riggins and Lyla should be together, and I divulged that upon first seeing Landry on that show, I referred to him as Matt Damon’s ugly brother. Oh, stop it. He has definitely grown on me since! For those in the States, stream full episodes of TV shows (including FNL) at Fancast.

We also talked about our love of Juno’s soundtrack. Here are some songs from the album.

The Moldy Peaches - Anyone Else But You
