Back in May, I reviewed the first volume of Win Scott Eckert's massive Timeline of character crossovers. I was excited that Volume 2 would be out so soon, and as expected I plowed through it in short ( Read more... )

As I've mentioned in a previous post or two, I have struggled with this post.  I want to make sure I give it the detail and attention it deserves, and it seems like every time I try to write it, my mind wanders or I get easily distracted.

Came home, watched last night's ( Read more... )

Tuesday night I posted that brief "more later, but tonight's LOST: wow" comment.  I've seen a lot of analysis of the episode over the past few days. Some people feel it was The Most Amazing Episode This Season, and some definitely did not.

I'll write more later / tomorrow ... but LOST tonight. Wow.
