Lost is scheduled to end in two more seasons, fulfilling Binkle’s desire to have a television show know where it is going and end on its own terms.

Thanks a lot Binkle. :P

You’ve killed Lost. You’ve killed it.

They’ve announced that we will see who is in charge of the Others, as well as the nature of Walt’s powers and whether Penny Widmore searching for Desmond will result in the rescue of all of the Flight 815 survivors.

But the wierdest thing is that a woman has recently parachuted onto the island, only to inform the survivors two things:

1. She was only looking for Desmond.
2. The remains of Flight 815 were found off the coast of Bali. And everyone was dead.

Lost keeps getting better…and now Binkle had to go and ruin it. It seems all of my friends have mystical sway over television. Andrew couldn’t see an episode of 24? Don’t worry. Fox postponed it. Binkle wants shows to wrap it up in a timely manner, and Battlestar Galactica and Lost claim that the end is near.

How about one of you guys insists on the creation of a game show called Endurance, where we all get sent to an island of beautiful women and whoever “lasts the longest” wins. :P

A fantastic film. You must see it. I nabbed it off of DC++, and watched the whole thing and was amazed. It was such a good action film, but it was not over-the-top, meaningless action. There was actually a compelling story behind it all, and a lot of good acting throughout.

It was truly a delicious film. A film so savoury that not watching it could be detrimental to your health.

Who is Kiele Sanchez? None other than the universally despised character Nikki from Lost. Her character was added at the start of Season Three to flesh out the cast a bit more, along with Rodrigo Santoro (‘300’) playing her boy-toy Paulo. However, the two characters were loathed so much by fans that the producers quickly had them removed from the show. In their soul flashback episode, it is revealed that Nikki and Paulo were con artists, and had stolen several million dollars worth of diamonds before crashing on the island. While everyone else was trying to survive, these two were searching for the diamonds.

Paulo found them, but decided to hide them for fear of being abandoned by Nikki. After she found out that he had them, she unleashed one of Dr. Artz medusa spiders on him, inducing a nasty eight hour paralysis. Unfortunately for her, the pheromones of a dead medusa spider attract all the males in the area, and she was bitten by several as well. When they were discovered by the other survivors, they were presumed dead. In a ceremony at the end of the episode, the two lovers were buried alive with the diamonds that they had fought for so long over.

Frankly, I do not know why she was so despised. At the very least, she was nice to look at. Take a gander for yourself.

I’ve been watching the first few episodes of Drive and they are pretty good. So, I check out Wikipedia to see where this thing is going, and I find out that Fox cancelled it after four episodes. Four episodes. The first episode had 6 million viewers, which is decent I guess. Lost debuted with 18.6 million viewers, but it had such a unique premise. Also, it was probably the best thing on ABC in ages, and there was nothing else competing in its time slot.

But, let’s consider FOX shows. 24, for example, had an average of 8.6 million viewers for its first season. So, why the hell does Drive get the shaft? It is a reasonably interesting show, and it has similar pacing to 24.

Meh…I don’t know what the hell Fox is doing. They seem to have shitty plans for programming. “Hey, let’s put a quasi-interesting, untested show next to one of the hottest game shows on television.” Yeah. They put it in the same time slot as Deal or No Deal. Brilliant. You don’t put something against Deal or No Deal (the new Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, in a way) unless it is life-changing.

It is upon us. I’ve packed up most of my stuff, save my Nintendo Wii, my monitor, my laptop, and a few other pieces of my life (toiletries, my toilet trees, my towels, my blankets, etc, etc). Still, there is much more that I am leaving behind: most of my books, Andreas’ Playstation (which I still have and will give back to him the next time he is in the country), and my massive collection of Scarlett Johansson erotica.

Tomorrow, as the first rays of the sunlight singe the bleached flesh of those who thrive on the darkness, I will be en route to the University of Waterloo campus with the goal of picking up my key and moving everything into the room (although not unpacking) before I have to work. I will then prepare taxes for the last time this year, and at nine o’clock, I will return to my room at UW to pass out, so that I can be up for my 8:30 class the next day. And there is no chance of missing it. The professor takes attendance…a practice which astounds me. Looks like there is no chance of me pulling a Foxall and missing this class.

Anyway, we should do some pre-emptive planning for a get-together of some kind in a few weeks. I know that the Spider-man 3 thing is happening on the 4th, so that is cool. But I’m talking gaming. Gaming shenanigans.
