Which airs from noon to 2:00 PM PST, and on continuous loop thereafter until I start channeling Iggy Pop. If you like a longshot, Tater Tot (Basset hound mix) might be the dog to ...

1. Goodman’s Spoiled Bastard: Lost S6/E1 is up. I pretty much agree with his take on where they’re going with the parallel timelines (including the speculation that the non-crashed survivors may end up on the island anyway) and also with this: The reason I’m still watching into this sixth season is because the writers have ...

Taveras is a salary dump (he’s making $4M), who will either get released or replace Rajai if Rajai is traded ...

Hot Links: All FKers should read this article. That is all. I would estimate the chances that the last season of lost sucks at 60%. I’m still going to watch.
