The Tube is Relevant Again
It seems in the fall, I hardly have a TV life, what with only Smallville on to entertain me.
Thank goodness for January, which heralds the return of American Idol and Lost.
The former is still running through the opening auditions right now. Stops have included New York, San Francisco, and Lexington. We've seen the kind of stuff that's become old hat by now, at least by Idol standards. Mostly fluff. A few gems. Some real nutties.
The new dynamic of Kara DiGuardi joining the judging ranks of Randy, Paula, and Simon might be what keeps me tuned in some nights. If nothing else, she's showing she too can deliver the cutting remark in a cold, bloodthirsty fashion that would give even Simon pause. He's enjoying messing with her head right now, and I don't think she's the type to put up with it for an entire season. Randy's just trying his darnedest to make himself heard.
The latter just had its fifth season premiere last night. Lots of new mysteries to spin through our heads.
So we now know the big mystery surrounding the island involves its ability to travel through time. And the cliffhanger hints at big trouble that will brew if Jack and his fellow companions of the Oceanic Six aren't able to return to the island. Will those left behind eventually perish if all the survivors aren't reunited? How will they manage to find the island since Ben moved it? And what does the whole 70 hours thing mean?
I'm really feeling for Hurley. He's now wanted for a triple murder, with witnesses having seen him holding a gun at the scene, though in reality it was Sayid. I wonder what made him dive for the gun lying on the balcony floor, in plain view of the witnesses? Was he intentionally trying to cover for Sayid?
Should be an interesting next few weeks.
