LOST week; Day 5

Kate Austen

Kate seems to have a lot of sway with the men on the Island. In a sort of reverse gendered 'Archie' situation, she's torn between the 'good guy hero doctor' and the 'follows-his-own-way bad boy'. It's tough to guess what will happen after the season finale we just saw, but hopefully the guys won't kill eachother over Kate when it's all said and done.

Plus, Kate's extra cool because she's played by fellow Canadian (and fellow Albertan) Evangeline Lilly.

LOST week; Day 4

John Locke

Definately one of my favorite characters on LOST, Locke just seems to have this 'guess what I'm thinking' thing going on all the time, not to mention his flirts with madness here and there.

After this recent season finale though, I'm not sure what's going on with Locke, will we ever see the real Locke again?

Update - Alrighty, here's the 'orange peel' version of Locke -

LOST week; Day 3

Benjamin Linus

Here's Ben Linus, the shifty former leader of the 'Others'. He's expertly portrayed by Michael Emerson who makes you believe that Ben could suddenly stab you in the back at any moment, despite his generally non-imposing appearance.

I always find myself looking into his unmistakable eyes and listening intently to everything he says, always looking for double meanings, trying to figure out Ben's true intentions.

At any rate, it's pretty clear that Ben can take a punch. That guy repeatedly takes a licking and just keeps on ticking...

Update: Okay, after getting the suggestion, I tried my hand at beating up Ben myself and I gotta say, it feels kinda good ;)

LOST week; Day 2

Charlie Pace

Ok, If you're just watching LOST season 3 for the first time on dvd or re-runs or something, stop reading now.

Well, we don't see much of Charlie (or "Chaaalay" as Claire would say) on the show these days except for his occasional posthumous conversation with Hurley. What's up with that, by the way? At any rate, I really like how his character has progressed and grown, and I think Charlie has probably had the greatest death in the show thus far. If I had to go out, I'd hope it was some way like that.

Anyway, I doubt Hurley is done with the 'visions', so I'm betting we'll see more of Charlie.

Update: As per some some suggestions, here's another variation of Charlie -

LOST week; Day 1

Hurley



Hey all! If you ask me, Lost is one of the best shows ever to grace the small screen. I'm pulled in as much as ever right now, but I guess it'll be a very long wait till we see the story continue next February.

At any rate, to celebrate the show will be a new LOST character each day this week, starting today with the ever-lovable Hurley.

I get a kick out of the way he calls people 'dude', and his hoarding of Dharma food :) And I'm still wondering how he's seeing people that are dead. And what will ultimately become of all his lottery money?

What a show :)

See ya tomorrow!!

Say 'Hey'!

Craig Ferguson, with puppets!


Hey, I had a request for a 'puppet inclusive' redux of my Craig Ferguson post - lately Craig has been doing some really creative and funny puppet routines on his show. I know, it sounds odd, and a little counter-intuitive for a late-night show, but he makes it work. Check out this example -

Riddle Me This...

Suited Frank Gorshin Riddler, John Astin Riddler, Jim Carrey Riddler

I had a request for a couple variations on the Riddler, topped off by the incredible Frank Gorshin in the suited Riddler look.

It was sure perplexing for me as a kid watching the reruns of the old Batman show and suddenly for some reason Riddler is sporting a mustache! Later I learned it was in fact John Astin (of Adams Family fame) taking on Gorshin's role.

Anyway I also wanted to throw a Jim Carrey 'Batman Forever' Riddler in here as well. I think that performance of his is basically the visual definition of 'over the top'. Very... colorful :)
