This week's Lost was less a series of wild cards than the whirlwind season premier. Having established that the survivors on the island have come loose from time, and are spinning back and forth between decades, "Jughead" zoomed into the former lives of physicist Daniel Faraday, and the notorious Mr. Widmore.... read more

If you watched the back-to-back episodes of Lost last night, you know this will not be a recap. It's simply not possible. When Ben worked loose the frozen wheel in Season Four's finale, he scattered the house of cards that was any semblance of order to Lost's storyline. Now, hapless fans don't just have to follow a double plot of flash-backs and flash-forwards, but a "present" completely unglued from chronological time.... read more

Found in: TV, ReviewsPushing Daisies Review: "The Legend of Merle McQuoddy" (Episode 209) and "The Norwegians" (Episode 210)
With precious few episodes left, Pushing Daisies is really picking up momentum in its story arcs. In "The Legend of Merle McQuoddy," Olive proved her investigating worth to Emerson, which could lead to a world outside of the pie hole, for good. And Chuck's dad (understandably) proved to be so protective of his daughter he advocated for her to remove the biggest threat to her safety: Ned.... read more

Found in: TV, ReviewsPushing Daisies Review: "Robbing Hood" (Episode 207) and "Comfort Food" (Episode 208)
Forgive me for being a little late to the game, but I suppose I'm still in mourning over Pushing Daisies' inevitable but hopelessly disappointing cancellation. With the news creator Bryan Fuller is headed back to NBC's Heroes, the chances of Daisies being brought back to life is slim to none, despite the best efforts from fans. Alas, we can only take solace in the few episodes the series has left. Still, the cancellation really stings because the show seems to be really hitting its stride.... read more

Found in: TV, ReviewsSamantha Who? Review: "The Park" and "The Family Vacation" (Episodes 208 & 211)
Last night, ABC served up two back-to-back episodes of Samantha Who? Weirdly (or perhaps normally, in the case of 30-minute sitcoms) the two episodes didn't really tie together, though that didn't stop them from moving the Owen-Sam relationship along to its final resting place. Thank the heavens.... read more
