RECAP: Lost - "The Package"

God I'm getting really sick of this show. I don't know why I bother writing these recaps, other than to vent my frustration. This week's episode was one of the more useless this season; infuriating because they only have like 6 episodes left to wrap up their storylines. These damned side-flashes are going nowhere fast, and I have no idea how they're going to resolve the problems they've created without pissing everyone off (oh wait, I forgot, it's Lost. They don't care whether they piss everyone off or not. Sigh). Anyway, read on for the full recap.

Internet Goodness: Batman Predicts Bioshock

There are certain things in this world that I feel like it would be hard to improve upon. Batman: The Animated Series is one of those things. The show was damn near perfect, and now I've discovered that it apparently had the ability to see the future. In a 1994 episode titled "Deep Freeze," Batman and Robin are forced to go to an underwater city built by a billionaire capitalist...you know, almost EXACTLY the same plot as Bioshock.

This page has a pretty awesome analysis of the similarities between the episode and the video game. Check it out. Or don't. What am I, your mother? Do what you want.

RECAP: The Amazing Race - "Anonymous?"

I don't want to jinx it, but it seems like this season of The Amazing Race is gradually getting better. The challenges are creating a lot more drama, and appear to be slightly more difficult (or perhaps just more frustrating), thus causing more shuffling in the order of team check-ins (i.e., the teams aren't arriving in the same order every leg of the race; the challenges are allowing some teams to catch up, while putting others at the back of the pack). After the jump, I've got the full recap (spoilers).

Internet Goodness: 1960's Lost Credits


Another way Lost could be way better would be if it started with these opening credits:

RECAP: Lost - "Ab Aeterno"

Well it only took 6 goddamn seasons, but we finally got the full story on Richard Alpert, the Island's mysterious, never-aging Jacob servant. After the jump I've got the spoiler-filled recap, but for now I'll just say that while it was probably one of the better episodes of the season, my overall reaction was "meh." For something they've been building up for like 3 or 4 seasons, it seemed like a pretty anticlimactic episode. But more on that later. For now, Read More for the full recap.


Internet Goodness: Mocktopus Comics!


I haven't read many of these web comics, but if they're anything like this one, they're probably worth checking out.
