(Season 21, Episode 3 – “The BFF-O-Meter”) Things are beginning to heat-up inside Brooklyn manor. Relationships are forming, flirtations are flying and Chet is still a virgin. I have to admit, despite my past reservations, I am beginning to like this cast of eight strangers. Yeah, they’re still whiny and preachy, but they do have […]
Maybe I’m being too protective of my favorite bunch o’ geeks. This is the second time that a character I don’t care for has all of a sudden been thrust into the limelight without rhyme or reason.

(Season 5, Episode 2 – “The Lie”) Well, the blazing start that we saw in the premiere seems to be slowing back down a bit to a more normal Lost pace. Well, Lost season four pace, anyway. With so much left to do before the end of the series, I don’t think we’re ever going […]
