Thursdays at 8 p.m. on ABCThe premise—everyone on earth blacks out for two minutes and 17 seconds, experiencing a vision of their lives six months in the future—sounds more clever than compelling, but the plot delivers the kind of brain-stretching drama that made Lost famous. And in a fall lineup packed with new procedural cop/doctor/lawyer shows, we'll give it bonus points for originality.... read more

Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. on ABCSeinfeld won’t be the only Must-See reunion this fall, as the Friends cast will be dropping by Courteney Cox’s new sitcom. We were initially worried that this was a reality show inspired by 30 Rock’s “MILF Island,” but it’s actually pretty funny thanks to creator Bill Lawrence (Scrubs, Spin City). Cox plays a 40-year-old divorced mom re-entering the dating world. Her son Travis (Dan Byrd) sums it up best: "I wish she didn’t have to say exactly what she’s thinking the second she thinks it."... read more

Found in: Movies, NewsLost Review: "The Incident" (Episodes 5.16-17)
The faceless Jacob appeared in Lost's season finale, "The Incident," last night. In fact, he appeared again and again; he opened, and nearly closed the episode, and his dark annunciations to all of the Lostites before they returned on the plane wove a tight tapestry throughout the episode. As the various groups of characters scurried around like frenzied mad hatters and white rabbits (Jack to detonate the bomb, Sawyer to stop him, Locke to kill Jacob, the beach dwellers to find the statue), Jacob's presence became as certain and quiet and sure as the future every character was bolting away from.... read more
