The Last Lost at Long Last
by Ronald A. Rowe on June 2nd, 2010Drama
Lost is over. After five incredible seasons and one meandering, ill-conceived season, the finale was absolutely incredible. The last two episodes, all three and a half hours, had everything that I had come to love about Lost.
The revelation that the ‘flash-sideways’ was a creation of the group’s collective consciousness even erased some of my qualms about the lack of coherent logic over the last season. Rather than trying to establish a logical framework, the writers cleverly eliminated the need for it. Applying what I know now retroactively to season 6, I have to take back...
Gossip Girl
by Jenn McD. on May 7th, 2010WMG
This past Monday’s episode of Gossip Girl was very…interesting. In the beginning of the season Lily was gone for quite a few episodes. The reason they gave was that that Cece, Lily’s mother, was sick and needed treatment by a special doctor. Well, well, well, after last week’s episode, we saw that it wasn’t Cece who was sick; it was Lily herself, or so we’re told.
In addition to this revelation, Dr. William Van Der Woodson, Serena and Erik’s father, comes back to check on Lily since her cancer has been in remission, and he was her attending physician. This...
Worst House Ever
by Ronald A. Rowe on April 19th, 2010Drama
Are there any House fans out there? I honestly can say that while not every episode is a masterpiece, I've never come away disappointed. Until this week.
Did you watch it? The missing baby episode? What we had were five separate stories, none of which were very interesting. It seemed more like a daytime soap opera than an episode of the best drama on TV.
Story #1 - A baby is missing. The hospital goes on lockdown, setting up the other four stories. As the police, the baby's family, and the hospital staff make a desperate search,...
Why We Love House
by Ronald A. Rowe on March 15th, 2010Drama
One of my favorite shows is House. My DVR starts humming with delight every Monday, knowing that the exploits of the irascible Dr. House and his entourage are soon to begin. I mean, what's not to love about House?
If you're talking about Gregory House, the character, then there's a whole lot not to love. He watches porn, frequents prostitutes, lies, cheats, and steals. He badgers, belittles, and berates colleagues and patients alike.
For most of the show's run, he was an unrepentant drug addict willing to do just about anything for his next fix. Then again, he'd do just about...
