Great Donkey Show
Both in life and as The OC visits Mexico. Anyway, now THAT was a night of TV. Killer Lost cliffhanger, another The Nine out of 10 and a special “Welcome to Wednesday, bitch,” to The OC. Here’s the Mile-a-Minute Commentary; 60 words per show:
The OC: Aside from the unfortunate Steve-O cameo, great stuff. Full-on Ryan-style vengeance. Mini Cooper mischief. Taylor spills the French-cut green beans. Summer might stray, Seth saves the day. Lots of talk about The OC declining since Season 1, but once we get done brooding over Marissa, it looks like California here we come, right back where we started from.
Lost: Will they, won't they? Wonder no more about Kate/Sawyer – they did. Crackerjack of an episode; action, revelations, hostage surgery… and caged heat! If Lost was gone, it’s definitely back. Except now it’s gone again. Gonna be a long wait until February 7th, but the no-rerun strategy should help. Did wonders for 24 – all TV should go repeat-free.
The Nine: Keeps getting better. We’re starting to deal with personal demons as well as the ones that held the cast hostage in the bank – like Nick getting poker fever. Was kind of a big commitment episode, although it’ll be interesting to see whether Kathryn and Ed or Jeremy and Franny make it for more than a few episodes. Bets, anyone?

My only problem with Lost last night was the Kate backstory. To predictable and not nearly as compeling as the island action going on. The island ideas have been great, the backstories alittle weak so far.
Phil- Gotta disagree. Anytime Kate is on the screen, I'm a happy guy. She could be scrubbing toilets and I'd be riveted..
I gave the backstory bonus points for having a Buffy alum in it, I guess. But I hear you – the backstories have kind of been reinforcers so far. Yes, Sawyer's a con man. Yes, Kate's on the run...
Chris - I agree, she is most hot, and a fine actress.
Geo - It took me till the scene when she drugs him to recognize him. It would be cool if he ended up on the island. Breakin' necks and shit.
