The X-Files #1.17: E.B.E.

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

This was so far the highpoint of the Mythology episodes. As a standalone story, it was kind of blah. Mulder and Scully were after some truck, and follow it across the country to get it. Mulder believes it has some alien craft in it. It also had something to do with [...]

Vradio #52: G

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

This one was difficult to get in order, and feels like it ended up really odd. And you should’ve seen the weird stuff I left off!
1. Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet “Golden Gate Gospel Train”
2. Goldfrapp “Gone To Earth”
3. Gorillaz “Ghost Train”
4. Geoff Reacher “Girls Don’t Like It”

Lost #4.12/13: There’s No Place Like Home pts. 2/3

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Done!  All finished!  All the stories did converge, past present and future.  Nowhere else to go!  The FlashForwards are now the Present.  I don’t need to recap, but I’ll try to figure out what is left.  It appears that the Oceanic 6 are lying in the future, in order to protect those left on The [...]

Lost #4.12: There’s No Place Like Home pt.1

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Part One of the season finale… I really liked it. Basically all the Survivors get split up, which is especially intriguing because of the FlashForwards and knowing which 6 get off The Island. Hurley is off with Locke and Ben. Jack and Kate go off the beach, only to run into Sawyer. [...]

Lost #4.11: Cabin Fever

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

Errr I have no idea what was going on in this episode. I have only a couple episodes left before I’m all caught up, and had some internets trouble the last little while and wanted to resume but maybe I just wasn’t in the right mood or something. Because I have no idea [...]

Vradio #51: Theme Time Rip-Off Hour #6: Jail

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

I gotta add, making a nice, diverse mix of songs about jail was not easy. In the end, it is not that diverse, unfortunately: mostly blues and old songs and some rap tossed in. There’s only one woman on here, and I tried to find songs that were actually about jail and not [...]

Lost #4.10: Something Nice Back Home

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Back at the end of Season 3, FutureJack was a mess. Then they showed FutureJack telling FutureKate he loved her, but he did not want to see Aaron, who FutureKate was raising. This episode showed FutureFutureJack, who apparently changed his mind, and was living happily ever after, raising Aaron with Kate, who never [...]

Vradio #50: Owl

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

I had a couple of theme things for this I was putting together, but wasn’t motivated to finish them. So I’ll just hit shuffle and post everything that comes up. Oh the excitement! Sorry if some 30-minute avant-garde noise thing pops up.
1. Prince “The Beautiful Ones” (awesome)
2. Low “Long, Long, Long” (slow)
3. [...]
