LOST Preview
Episode 5.03: Jughead
Airdate: January 28 at 9 p.m.
I'll tell you that the mystery [of which female may note make it through the season] will be solved in the closing seconds of the Jan. 28 episode. Source: The Ausiello Files
Desmond goes in search of a woman who could be the key to helping Faraday stop the island's erratic movements through time, and Locke discovers the identity of the unknown forces who have been attacking the survivors. Guest starring are Nestor Carbonell as Richard Alpert, Sonya Walger as Penelope "Penny" Widmore, Alan Dale as Charles Widmore, Rebecca Mader as Charlotte Lewis, Tom Connolly as Jones, Alexandra Krosney as Ellie, Imelda Corcoran as Abigail, Matthew Alan as Cunningham, Dan Hildebrand as custodian, Mary Ann Taheny as Moira, Raymond Ma as Efren Salonga, Sarah Farooqui as Theresa and Tuli Roy-Kirwan as secretary.
From TVGuide:
Will Ben's childhood girlfriend, Annie, be showing up on Lost this season? And any word on Rousseau?
I'd give my Dharma-brand nuts to have the castaways time-trip to the Others' very early days and spy on nerdy Ben and his pubescent crush. And who knows, maybe that territory will be plumbed when we get a Ben-centric episode in mid-March? As for "the French woman," I'm holding firm to my belief that we see Danielle in this week's episode.
And lastly.... A Doc Jensen Theory to read before tonight's episode.
Enjoy!

Duggarpalooza!
First of all, I'd like to remind everyone that "I Left My Duggar in San Francisco" and "Duggars on Safari" air tonight on TLC. The San Francisco episode should be particularly interesting as Jim Bob and Michelle visit a head shop where they comment on the "funky glassware."
Now, on to the wedding! "Once a Bride, Always a Duggar" and "A Very Duggar Wedding" aired on Sunday night on TLC.
The first was a half-hour show featuring Josh and Anna's wedding preparations, including a trip to Florida for Josh and his sisters.
The good:

The first was a half-hour show featuring Josh and Anna's wedding preparations, including a trip to Florida for Josh and his sisters.
The good:
- The older Duggar girls got to travel sans-parents!
- The older Duggar girls, plus Anna, were bossed around by Josh as they prepared for the wedding.
- Anna obviously only married Josh to get out of the trailer she was living in with her parents and 8 siblings.
- A "fancy restaurant" to the Duggars is one with silverware and glassware.
- The photo pillow Anna made for Josh with a giant picture of them together. (Did he use it to practice for his first kiss?!)
- Josh called the restaurant they went to "Eye-talian" and couldn't pronounce the names of any of the foreign foods like lasagna or fettuccini.
- The waiter at the restaurant was crazy! (And yes folks, he's for real.)
- The Duggar girls set some sort of trap to spray Josh with soda when he opened his car door..?
The good:
- Anna and the Duggar sisters ended up making some beautiful bridesmaid dresses.
- Erin Bates played the piano wonderfully.
- John-David speaks! And is funny! (Is Erin Bates lined up for him?)
- Jim Bob's "talk" with Josh, which mostly consisted of giving him a Christian book on wedding-night prep, and telling him to listen to whatever his silly wife wants to blather on about.
- Pa Keller's pick-and-choose translation of the bible. "Jesus changed the water to wine at the wedding. That word really means grape juice. He changed the water to grape juice."
- The hair!
- The "transfer of authority" from Pa Keller to Josh. Poor Anna will never be under her own authority, I guess.
- Josh's "serenade." I guess he has an okay voice, I just hate when people sing like that.
- Josh went into their wedding night hotel room first, leaving Anna to drag the suitcases behind her.
- The engagement re-enactment skit. They got every detail down to the half-hug! And I loved the lines, "It's her birthday, give her some lemon in her water," and "It's a half-carrot [crunch]."
- Jim Bob equates sex to Legos.
- John-David wiring the car brakes to the horn!
- There was rampant pickle-eating!
- The first kiss, which I highly doubt was worthy of the sound effects they played for it (including church bells, choirs, and fireworks).

Kinda Creepy In A Big Brother Sort Of Way
Photos From Space
Not sure how I feel about this. Kinda cool but yet really creepy. Is it legal? Should I be wearing clean underwear?

Predicament of Massive Proportions
It's not often I find myself faced with having to choose between so many QUALITY television shows, but tonight I am in quite the predicament.
First off the OSU Buckeyes are playing (stop right now... I already know that if they run it back for a touchdown on the kickoff we are assured of a loss, but enough about that).
Then, the second episode of Superstars of Dance will air and we'll learn what country gets the boot. I also suggest the show would be far more interesting if Michael Flatley tippity-tapped his dance routine as he goes back & forth between Miss Vapid USA and the panel of Utterly Boring Judges. C'mon.... give a us little something. Saying shit like, "I sat on the edge of my seat the entire time" is just not enough to keep this viewers attention. The dancing was interesting but I don't understand how you can judge native African dancing against some dude doing contorted hip-hop. But I digress.
Next up we have the Bachelor. I swore off the last installment but know enough about it to know that this is the dude the last chick blew off. He's truly an idiot. Was experiencing the train wreck once not enough? He's gonna put himself through it again? Idiot. But yet I will probably watch. With one eye.
If you're into stuff like this, you'll want to watch Bromance (Sarah... you reading this?) Tonight on MTV, the guys compete in a "broathlon," featuring a blow-up doll-raft race and a downhill La-Z-Boy slalom. Later, each contestant gets some one-on-one time with Brody.
Also on deck for this evening is a riveting episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8. Actual episode description: "Kate attempts to make soup to freeze for the winter season, with unexpected results." I don't think I need to say anymore about that.
And finally, if you need even more crap to watch, tune into True Beauty. Beginning an eight-episode elimination contest in which 10 gorgeous people face challenges to determine the most beautiful---and inner beauty counts as much as physical attractiveness.
