I have stopped watching this show. It used to be my favourite, and now I am usually bored, but, mostly, I just stopped caring.

Well I didn't think Hurley's flashback had a point, other than showing us that Cheech Marin was his dad, but I enjoyed the present day Island storyline. I like the weird Friendship between Jin and Sawyer.

Me either. There was no plot movement, but this episode was a breath of fresh air. Thank GOD for Hurley. This has to be a major appeasement for the fans. I'd take Hurley over The Others and Jack any day. Hurley is such an engaging, sweet character, and I love that Cheech is his dad.

I hope they 'broke' the curse so Charlie stays alive!!

That was a boring episode, but next weeks episode looks like it could be good.

The only segment that moved the story along was the very end when Danielle Rousseau, aka The French Chick, emerged from her hiding place. So... one minute's worth of good story wrapped in an hour's worth of sh1t.

Boring episode, this show has been way too much filler crap this season...they really need to kick it up a notch in the coming episodes..

Though there was absolutely no progress this episode I still say it is probably one of the best ones this season. Finally there was true to form LOST character interaction, this show is an ensemble, it is that that has made it succesful not 3 Main characters. But still the show has not answered any questions and the line in the previews "if you miss this episode you won't know what people are talking about in the morning" was such crap considering there was nothing for people to talk about!!

I didn't think this episode was too bad...miles better than the crap we saw on 2/14. Some of it did seem a bit "filler", but then again it is good to see the characters develop. I'm still excited to see what is coming next.

I did like this episode seeing Hurley, Charlie, Sawyer, Jin, etc together. At least it wasn't as confusing as last week. I just don't know what to say anymore about Lost, maybe it's suppose to be confusing like this.

ITA. Her appearance is what makes next weeks episode look interesting.

Wow. This show has come roaring back this year. It has been amazing since Ecko's death!

It does. I know I sounded awfully negative, and I intended to be about most of Wednesday's show, but the anticipation is there again, for me - just from that last minute with Rousseau. Just when I'm about to give up, they pull something out of their bag of tricks.

Wow. This show has come roaring back this year. It has been amazing since Ecko's death!

Don't know if I'd go that far, but the potential is there. It'll have to roar a little harder for me to give it that kind of praise. Let's hope it does. We all know how good it can be.

This season has been excellent. It really has made up for last season's messiness for me.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
