A Little Ditty, About Jack and Sayid, and Sun, and...

Okay, so I'm still hooked on Lost. Granted, it's only the second show of the season, but there's no way I'll stop watching it, unless they kill of all of the people I just mentioned. What is it with this show? Do I enjoy the punishment of having questions raised with Every. Single. Show? I guess so. I mean, why is Ben going to set Jack free, if he does what he says? Why are they having Kate and Sawyer do chain-gang work? Why did Sayid think the Others would go to the fire he built, rather than the boat tethered to their dock (and in clear view of the fire)? Why, why why? *sigh* Guess I'll just have to tune in and see...for more torture. Again, damn you J.J. Abrams!

Grey's Anatomy

Oh, how I love Grey's Anatomy. The writing is fantastic, the actors are perfect for their roles...and like Lost, there's so much eye candy, what's not to like?

Granted, I'm not that harsh of a critic, like some of the folks on the Television Without Pity forums, but still. I keep reading posts that people don't actually talk like the characters do (snarky, sarcastic, clever). Huh? Not that I'm all that clever, but I am sarcastic and snarky. My friends and I all are. I wonder if it's because of how they look that people say this? I wonder. I mean, take a look at the cast photo to the right. Yeah, doctors can be hot, but I have yet to be in a hospital where the entire surgical staff could all be models. Okay, well...not all of them, but you have to admit that most of them could.

Anyway, I loved the episode last night. The speech Meredith gave to Finn and Derek was priceless. They've turned dating her into some sort of pissing contest, and she totally called them on it. Granted, she did sort of ask for it by telling them she'd be dating both of them. But still. It just goes to show that humans are not that far removed from our basic instincts. When two males are vying for the attention of one female, competition of some sort will ensue, heh. It's just that when it's humans doing the competing, it's fun to see one guy bring coffee, and the other guy bring coffee cake. Love it!

Now, who am I vying for? I have a soft spot in my heart for Derek, even though he is for all intents and purposes a pompous ass. But there's something about him that I just can't put my finger on. Perhaps it's because if I were Meredith, I'd go for the relationship that wasn't one-sided. We know she still loves Derek, and now we know after last week's episode, he loves her. Yes, he's still married...but not for much longer, I think. She likes Finn, but I don't see him holding her attention for that long...and that spells doom for that relationship.

As for Addison and McSteamy (Mark, the man she cheated on Derek with...his best friend), she should totally go for it with him. He loves her. It's more than just sex, and I think if she's willing to let go of Derek, she'll find she loves him too. Although, letting go of a marriage is hard, I think having someone like Mark waiting in the wings would make it just a tad bit easier. Of course, I've never been married, so maybe not.

Anyway, I am officially hooked on this show...and it's a show that I know won't frustrate me beyond belief like Lost. Yay for Grey's Anatomy! Don't let me down by becoming anymore of a soap opera than you already are!

Lost about Lost

Okay, so I got hooked on quite possibly the most frustrating show on TV right now starting with Season 1. Why do I think it's so frustrating? Because for every answer you get, they bring up 500 more questions, some of which will be answered, most of which will be ignored. And last night was no exception to that rule.

I mean, the Others live in a white picket fence community on this island? WTF? It's been hinted they are left-overs from the whole Dharma thing, but somehow I doubt that's the whole truth. Why do I doubt that? Because usually when I think something's true on this show, it turns out not to be, or it's only partially true, yadda yadda yadda. But, although I am already frustrated, I will continue to watch because, dammit, they sucked me in yet again! Damn you J.J. Abrams!

Anyway, aside from all the frustration with it, I do like the scenery. Yes, Jack is a bit of an ass...but I've always liked Matthew Fox. (And what is it with ABC and doctors named Shepherd?) Sawyer's not so bad either, for a bad boy. I want some more Sayid and Jin, to be honest. And if I were either a lesbian or a guy, I don't think I could choose amongst all the women for my favorite. They are all stunning. Between this and my other favorite ABC show Grey's Anatomy, I think that this network has cornered the market on good-looking actors.

So, we shall see if Lost frustrates me to the point of not wanting to watch it anymore, or if it will somehow manage to keep me interested enough to see the season through. With all of the TV I watch, I could manage to drop a show...
