Ha! LOST! WOW. Happy Anniversary to the show, my best friend showed me the first episode since he was OBSESSED w/ Lost, and I thought I would never watch the show (Well I did I just didn't know when!) and BAM, LOVED IT.

24 and Alias -- ONE OF MY TOP 2 All Time Favorites - I was like 6 or 7, these shows were starting their third seasons around 2003-2004ish and I LOVED action movies at the time! I always knew about it since my mom was in love with these 2 hot shows! I was a kid so I didn't know what to think of it other than I found it cute my mom had a bond with a show as I had w/ Spongebob and mostly Nickelodeon/Disney in general! Also I would record the episodes in case she missed it b/c I was an awesome technical son smile.pngsmile.png But when I was 8, It only took me to see Jack Bauer shoot a terrorist in the leg in the Season 4 premiere? That's when I got hooked EVER SINCE! And have watched week in, week out, including the A&E re-runs that re-ran Season 1-3 smile.png and later bought the first season on DVD later that year. LOL 24 was my childhood!

Followed by, I always saw Alias re-runs, thought Jennifer Garner was a cutie, saw Alias in the DVD store, so I started probably tuning into it around 8 or 9. Don't really remember much. But I just always had a love for it! I re-watched it all earlier this year and OMG. I still miss it, so sad watching the series finale! (I still need JJ Abrams to answer what was RAMBALDI'S ENDGAME MYSTERY!) and re-watch it! SPYFAM, THOSE INSANE PLOT TWISTS!, Sydney/Vaughn!, SARK! BRADLEY COOPER--WILL! Their Cliffhangers most importantly the Season 2 ENDER still BLOWS ME AWAY! I'm still like WTF!?! TV just doesn't get better that that!

AHH. 24 and Alias just BLOWS your brains out! and for its TIME!?! You can't say there was many shows packing incredible twisty moments into their story! I still hope one day, my Jennifer Garner and Michael Vartan will team up and Alias 2.0 will be born!

SCANDAL - Another ALL-TIME FAVORITE! 2012 had a lot of Great Shows, which taught me to be tv-savvy, be a super (geek) fan, and keep a really open-mind while being entertained by characters and plots for 42 minutes. I was really into Ringer. REVENGE, Missing (Spy series w/ Ashley Judd) that year and GH had a resurgence so I was really starting to like ABC lineup of shows. However I think I didn't understand the Scandal promos as it was like a 30 second of whiplash its why I'm like oh great a show set in D.C w/ sex scandal not tuning into that, however it was JUST THAT. Power, Control. Scandalous Acts, Manipulations. You got the powerful lead that's almost like Superwoman, the villains, the quirky team-squad, and the broken people that need saving and Politics. And your Olivia Pope, Political Drama/Thriller was born! I saw ABC put up the episodes earlier and I LOVED the first 2 episodes, it was fresh, exciting, something new, had an incredible vibe, and based on a real person's career. So the idea of Olivia being this powerful fixer w/ her past haunting her was incredible. Its like D.C in the political arena w/ hungry bloody monsters/tyrants/gladiators who will tear each other to the bone. The show was better than I thought when viewing week after week! I was shocked when Amanda Tanner got killed off! Wasn't surprised by Cyrus going all villan-y because the show needed that and to embrace that! And that I loved, and Have been the ultimate fan of this show since the beginning and week after week! GLADIATOR HERE! I still embrace that this show values storytelling, (Season 3 saw a slight slip in the development of the characters but I'll let that one slip as I still loved it) and values some mind-boggling, masterful scenes, twists, story points, character development, cliffhangers, and more. While some shows try to top itself, or others or goes through identity crisis, Scandal just goes with the flow.

The show would suffer whenever they got away from Locke. Whenever it was a Locke episode you knew major story was happening. When they decided to do a Kate episode, nothing of importance would happen. The thing that was disappointing was how they immediately wrote Walt out. I remember them saying it was because the kid grew in height way too much way too soon and there was no way to deal with it, but it seems clear from the first season they had plans for Walt and for whatshername's baby that just never materialized.

    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.
    • Jordana Brewster is making a new movie. https://deadline.com/2025/06/rob-riggle-jordana-brewster-the-pirate-king-1236426287/ Kelly Rutherford posing for a magazine cover with her son. Kelly Rutherford Photographed with Model Son Hermés, 18, Years After Custody Battle  
    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.
