Now that we have survived the five hour marathon of Idol Gives Back can we please just announce Crystal Bowersox as the winner?. PLEEEEAAASE?
As much as each new season pains me, I still have high hopes for the show. How could I ignore the reality show competition that has given us star-making performances? Season 4 [...]

It was great to see everyone back in the rehearsal hall at McKinley High: Rachel, Mercedes, Kurt, Tina, Puck, Finn, Quinn, Brittany, Mike, Santana, Artie, Matt, Emma, Mr. Schuester, Principal Figgins and, of course, the tongue lashing Sue.

This week’s episode of Lost titled, “Happily Ever After” was packed with “kind-of” answers, WTF moments, the mystical walking dead lady from The Others and a ton of “bruthas” courtesy of Desmond – it definitely was cut from the same cloth as “The Constant”.

Jin and Sun get their chance to flash sideways in “The Package”
Last night’s episode of Lost (titled “The Package”) was a big ol’ cock tease. Everyone was waiting for a tear-jerking reunion of Sun and Jin. Instead, Sun gets hit in the head and can only speak Korean and Jin showed us that it’s okay [...]

Thank God I took two years of Spanish in high school because tonight’s episode was “en Espanol” (that means “in Spanish” for those of you who didn’t know).
