Well, here is the first of my television ramblings here. I only watch 2 shows on TV every week, and they are Lost and Survivor. (I used to watch Enterprise, until those jerks at UPN canceled it.) I know both shows are not for everybody, but hopefully at least someone out there who reads this watches one of the shows, otherwise I suppose I’ll be talking to myself. So anyways, on with my (brief) ramblings.

Lost: So yesterday was the season premiere of Lost. As you may or may not know, Lost is the best show currently on television, though it’s something you have to commit to in order to get anything out of it. The basic premise is that more than 40 passengers of a jetliner bound from Australia to LA crashed on a mysterious island in the south pacific (assumedly) which is inhabited by a ginormous beast, several polar bears, a crazy French woman who has been stranded for 16 years, the “Others” who like to kidnap people, and, as we found out this week, a Scottish guy named Desmond who lives surrounded by outdated technology (except for his washing machine) dozens of feet down a hatch found in the jungle floor with “Quarantine” marked on the INSIDE of the door. (Wow what a long sentence). Anyways, Desmond has met Jack before apparently, and advised him to “lift it up”, which refers more to his troubles than his injured ankle. And lo and behold, a miracle happened. I really love the direction that the show has taken in that Locke (my favorite) and Jack embody the faith vs. logic battle, and we all know that neither one will be the sole victor. Only a balance of the two ideologies and the two men will allow the survivors to continue surviving, and the mysteries to be slowly solved.

Survivor: So, lazy Morgan was voted off tonight. I think she deserved to go, since she apparently did no work around camp. Lydia, who was one of the options to go, is not as young as Morgan, but is probably no less strong, and is certainly smarter and more determined to work. I also think that ex-QB Gary should have owned up to who he is, since it is obvious he’s been called out on it. He’s only going to make things worse by lying. And it’s also only a matter of time before Jeff Probst brings it up at tribal council, which will happen when the producers think it will be the most entertaining. Ahh yes, reality TV. I don’t watch survivor for the reality, it’s just like a game show. Everything is still controlled, it’s just a tougher game than Hollywood Squares or Wheel of Fortune. But it’s still just a game show. And I love it.

Ok, so I imagine that was pretty painful to read, and if you’re still reading, then thank you, and let me know so I’ll feel better about myself ;). I promise I’m not just going to just this to talk about TV. I, of course, will be writing movie reviews every time I see one. Haha, but really, I’ll also talk about things that are more important. Such as my E-theory test that I have tomorrow that I’m going to start studying for now. So let me know what you think of my meager blogging skills, and I’ll see you soon.

P.S. I’m going to Richmond this weekend for the state fair. My sweetheart is showing a couple cows in the dairy show, so wish her luck and maybe she’ll get another blue ribbon. Plus it’s her 21st birthday on Sunday. So we’ll go ride rides and eat cake and such. Feel free to be jealous of the fun we’ll be having. 🙂
