• Good news for LOST-ies. Everyone's favorite time travel show will have a two-hour season finale. This almost makes up for the skipped week last week. Almost. And damn, it's better than ever. Of course, if you haven't been following the show, good luck with that.
• Damon Lindeloff of LOST fame takes some time out (which he should be using to write more kick @$$ episodes for the last season) of his busy schedule to critique Watchmen. He also has some much needed common sense things to say about the squid.
• One of the cool things Fox has been doing for Fringe and Dollhouse was to introduce shorter commercial breaks. This gives us, the viewers, more show for our time. Sadly, Fox is doing away with the short breaks, citing financial reasons. In other words, they weren't making enough money. Of course, if the shows had been monster hits, the finances would have taken care of themselves.
• Even though NBC is in the tank ratings-wise, they are still trying. With Kings debuting this past weekend they have another SF-ish show on the schedule which will soon be joined by The Listener. The Listener is about a paramedic with telepathic abilities. Hmmm, I don't know. Doesn't grab me.
• Ah yes, one of Stephen King's many novels, It has already been on the small screen, starring Tim Curry as the world's most unfunniest clown. Now, It has been optioned for the big screen, probably sans Curry. I kinda liked the mini-series, and the book is pretty good too.
