The 1981 party is over for Alex Drake. Well, not really. Since there is a season two on the way for Ashes to Ashes, not everything was cleared up during Saturday night’s season finale. At least the creators didn’t spring a Lost-esque maddening cliffhanger that we have to ponder for 16 months until the new […]

A little warning for you: this post is a rant. Sigh. This week we were “treated” to a new clip show instead of a new episode of Lost. I don’t understand who the target audience is for these clip shows, which ABC seems to be in love with. Are they targeted to serious fans of […]
