Unanswered Questions from Lost 4.5

Normally this show leaves me with my head perpetually tilted to the side like Nipper.

This week's installment was no different. Sure, Desmond's jumps between 1996 and 2004 were confusing at best. And yes, one can't help but ponder a connection between Daniel "Unfrozen Oxford Caveman" Faraday's machine being tuned to 2.342 and Penny's old man bidding on lot 2342 (the Black Rock painting).

But this week my relief outweighs the questions.

Until tonight I thought we were in for Fisher Stevens as this season's Big Bad. And if you've been reading the Block for the past few months you know there's not much I like about that dude. I recognized "Minkowski's" irritating voice from those first phone calls from the freighter, and I thought, Shit, Fisher Stevens is now a character on my favorite drama.

But by the end of this episode I was thinking, Yay! He appeared briefly and died like a rat!

I'm celebrating with no questions.

Unanswered Questions from Lost 4.2

Before they had an end date in sight, the old Lost would've stretched the events of tonight's episode out over three weeks. But in a short 48 minutes we got the backstories of four new interesting characters, a Colonel Kurtz joke, pet polar bear bones, a cowbell, a shooting, a fresh round of Whose Turn Is It To Kick Ben's Ass?, and proof that Mr. Abbadon wasn't a figment of Hurley's imagination.

That's not to say questions weren't left hanging in the air like the bitter stench of sadness wafting off a soundly whipped Mormon presidential candidate.

• Was Jeff Fahey added to the cast to refuel the old theories that events on the island are happening in a virtual reality?
• How were the rover operators so sure of the flight number of the sunken plane? Is Oceanic like Qantas and rarely has accidents?
  
• How much longer will it be until Jennifer Love Hewitt is featured as Miles Straume's lover in a Very Special Crossover Episode with The Ghost Whisperer?
• When we finally see Fisher Stevens as George Minkowski, will the producers furnish him with a thick prosthetic for his pencil-neck so he doesn't look like the male equivalent of Giada De Laurentiis? Because a huge head on a thin body is just so distracting...and I miss enough Easter eggs on this show already.
  

The Only Reason I Need to Not See Awake

So I'm watching the trailer for Awake, a movie directed by a dude named "Joby" (!) which stars Hayden Christensen (!) and Jessica Alba (!)...and even with all three of those things counting against it, I'm not entirely convinced it won't be at least semi-watchable.*

And then Fisher Stevens, as a surgeon, offends the writer in me by saying the line, "Just inject the heart. In an hour he'll be dead and we'll be rich."

Really?

No. Come on. Really?

* On TNT next year 'cuz they know drama. Kyra Sedgwick says so.
