St. Elmo's Fire to Become ABC Series

By Jeffrey Bloomer at 9:30 AM on August 19, 2009

Sometimes, you just hope things turn out better than they sound. ABC has plans to bring the 1985 post-grad flick St. Elmo’s Fire to the small screen, with an updated spin on the story of a group of Georgetown grads who hang around their alma mater and (grudgingly, in some cases) enter the rest of their lives. ...  read more

Lost Review: "The Incident" (Episodes 5.16-17)

By Rachel Dovey at 11:56 AM on May 14, 2009

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

Lost Review: "The Variable" (Episode 5.14)

By Rachel Dovey at 11:15 AM on April 30, 2009

This week's episode of Lost revealed a whole different side of Daniel Faraday. We've oscillated before about the true nature of the physicist to no avail. We decided he's mostly a decent guy, barring the whole experimenting-on-his-girlfriend-then-running-away-when-her-brain-turned-to-mush thing. In the past, he's just seemed lost and confused, and since he has those big, earnest puppy eyes we decided to forgive him. ...  read more
