LOST: I Am The Brotha Electric

While I usually reserve this talk for the various sections, this episode was just too good to segment in such a way (even with a heavy help of Pace). I mean, think about it: Desmond Hume, The Reality Leaper! Sure, Daniel, Charlie and even Eloise knew there was something about their world (aka the X-world) that's off, but Desmond seems to be the only one who can conclusively prove it.

More to the point, it's made both Humes seemingly at peace. Remember how Island Hume was so frantic and X-world Hume was distant-yet-content? After one of them got jolted, they both changed: now Island Hume's in nirvana and X-world Hume is on a mission. And the fans at Slate are pretty on the money in saying that Desmond's character helps make the episode flow better.

DISCOVERIES
  1. As hinted at earlier, there are characters in the X-world who realize that something's wrong.
  2. Widmore knew about Desmond's involvement with "the button."
  3. The Dhrama Initiative built a giant electromagnet on the sister island.
  4. Penny does not use her father's last name, but Daniel does.
OBSERVATIONS
  1. Whatever Sayid's original mission was, it's been changed to include Desmond.
  2. X-Charlie is really suicidal.
  3. Characters with "missed out" relationships -Charlie, Desmond and Daniel- all appear in the same episode.
  4. Even though they both tell Desmond (in their own way) that something is wrong with their world, Daniel and Charlie never meet (they never met in the regular timeline as well).
QUESTIONS
  1. Why did Widmore's people take Jin? They obviously didn't need him for their experiment on Desmond, and it's difficult to believe that any technical/mechanical experience he gained in the late 1970's (while also learning English, mind you) would be that beneficial to people in 2007.
  2. Why does X-Hume feel the need to bring people from the Flight together?
  3. How did Widmore's team power the electromagnet? that thing has to use up a lot of juice.

Five Actresses Who Should Be Considered For A Wonder Woman Movie

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
