Brandi's Week In TV Review Vol. 4 (Updated)

It was a so-so week in TV land.

Lost: Still getting better week by week, although I feel like the writers are spending so much time on the action and trying to get all the questions answered that they're ignoring the dialogue between characters. Ben used to have the best lines and monologues. Now? They've reduced him to saying pithy little cliches. Although I did see a glimpse of the Ben I love this week--Jack: "What's going to happen to all these other people?" (referring to the fact that the plane will crash). Ben: "Who cares?"
So, here are the questions/theories I'm left with this week.
1. Where is Aaron? I think Kate is being typical Kate. I think she wants a life with Sawyer. I think she gave Aaron to Claire's mom (how convenient she was in town), and has decided to go back for Sawyer (breaking Jack's heart, once again, along the way).
2. How did Hurley know to be there? I say Charlie came and told him. And I think the guitar was the sub for Charlie, since things had to be as close to the first crash as possible.
3. Sayid. Why was he there? Why Guam? I have no theories, but it was as though he and Kate had switched situations. On the first flight, Kate was the fugitive with the marshal and Sayid was the one going to find his true love. Now, Sayid is the fugitive with the marshal and Kate is the one going to find her true love.
4. Dharma Jin!! So, all I can think is that the island finally stopped skipping at a point in the past (60's, maybe 70's), and Jin joined the DI (probably for survival).
5. Sun left her daughter behind! No theory there, just surprised.
**6. How could I have forgotten to talk about the Narnia reference? The Lamp Post. The way to find yourself in another place and time.

Top Chef: New York: Totally and completely unfair. Shame on you, producers! The top 4 earned their places in the finals and it's not fair to throw in a 5th finalist to compete against. I was pretty upset at that twist. This isn't Survivor. These are people with careers--people for whom a win will change their career forever.

Battlestar Galactica: Eh. Not so great this week. Ellen was back to her old ways, which is why I disliked her in the first place and was angry that she was the 5th. I felt bad for Caprica 6.
I was kind of excited that they were going to name the pop-tart Liam, though.
I wish they'd just let the Baltar storyline peter out. I like his character a lot, but the whole cult storyline isn't going anywhere. Unless, of course, he's Daniel 7. I was completely shocked that Tirol wanted to leave the fleet. I really thought he would want to stay. His decision makes little sense to me. In general: No cliff hanger, not enough Starbuck and Lee, nothing really answered.

By the way, if you really love me you'll buy me this. (ordering info found HERE.)

Celebrity Rehab: Sobriety House: I'm officially in love with Rodney King. Not in a romantic way, but just as a fellow human being. I don't know, there's just something about watching someone truly work at being a better person and seeing them succeed with flying colors that makes me happy. And I think Andy Dick is following in his footsteps. To see him realize that what Seth was doing to the group was what he had done to people in the past was pretty great. Speaking of Seth, I was so sick of his whole "catch me if you can" attention getting game. I think Steven Adler summed it up best when they were in group. The conversation was all about Seth (who wasn't even there) and Steven finally said what I was thinking: "F*** Seth." Amen to that. And as a side note, I have Crazy Town's "Butterfly" on my MP3 player for working out. Whenever it comes on now, I feel guilty. Like I'm somehow supporting his crack habit or something.
