point of no return, so yeah...though this episode was completely pointless and crap.

nothing else on though...that donelly show is weird...Riches ain't to bad, and that cop show with whats his face ain't to bad either...

a few new shows coming up, the comedy with the bird up the duff looks amusing, and drivers, well that looks shite, but it's on early when nothing else is on, so I'll give it a go if we get home early :lol:

I'm living in hope that the ABC remake of Life On Mars isn't a complete waste of space, as The Office proved that the US can do quite a good version of a British show if they try.

This American Life, a show I have been a fan of on NPR for years and banging on about on this site for a while is now a TV show on Showtime;

Almost works better on radio, but the quirky tales and soundtrack are brilliant IMHO

Watch episode 1 now;

I love lost but you sound like my DH he can't stand Jack.

I never can guess what way it's going to turn, like having John's father on the island or last nights very technically clever weaving in of characters into old stories and her not being dead at all but buried alive..luv it!

There was a very tounge in cheek article I read earlier this week where they were suggesting that he should be dragged over here to redo the role:ohmy:

That would be ace! He plays a fantastic part! Love that show, I would be too scared to watch it in case they ruined it though. Didn't think much of The Office. Just my opinion though! ;)

I thought last nights episode was a waste of time. The much heralded new characters served no purpose other than to have a new way of having a recap episode to remind us of past events. There was no relevance to them and they offered nothing to the overall story. I am getting frustrated with it. I don't undertsand why the survivors don't kill the others at every opportunity. They have had countless opportunities to kill Henry. The other night they could have shot and killed the fat guy from the Capital One commercials when they saw him with Jack but as ever they try and sneak up and get captured and lose their weapons before being released only to come back with some more guns they keep handily finding in the jungle.

Does anybody know when the new "Doctor Who" series will be on here ?
It's fairly bad but better than nothing. Obviously it's not as good as in the old days with William Hartnell but it's better than "Most Haunted" which I have grown tired of.

It was a stand alone episode. I just have nightmares about being buried alive so just appreciated it for that and the technical weaving in of stories.

I don't like this whole series so much as it concentrates too much on the others (interesting if it was dealt with quickly not dragging it out) I just like it when its on the beach doing flashbacks with the normal characters.
