    • It is hard to believe that Lost is now ready to air its one hundredth episode this week. This is something that isn’t too surprising. The series premiered in 2004, and it became an instant hit. Not only a hit, but a true phenomenon that dragged people in. They wanted to know just what the series was all about. They tried to join their heads together to figure out all the answers to every question the series brought up.

      We know when it comes to Lost there is a lot of questions. Too many to keep count of. What is the island? How does the island travel through time as it does? These are recent questions with this new season, but there have been so many more questions that have come up since the series premiered. The black cloud monster, the significance of the numbers and their sequence. How no one really seems to age on the island. How the dead seem to walk again when they arrive on the island.

      As a fan of this series, I have been there since the series first premiered. I had heard about it, and I knew it would be something to watch. Oddly enough, I think I was one of those in a test group for the series a year or so before the series even premiered, with a very rough cut put together. I knew the series was something even with that rough cut, and now we’re almost at the end. One more season before Lost comes to an end. Will all the questions that have come from the series will be answered before things come to an end?

    • Spotlight: Time Travel Hits Lost

    • If you are a fan of Lost, you might have been trying to keep up with the changes on the series this season. I am trying to keep up with the changes this season, and there have been a lot. The start of this season has been focusing on getting most of those that left the island back on it. Everyone other than Baby Aaron has come back to the island that appears to be traveling on some loop through time, which has been caused by those leaving the island.

      We have seen the return of some faces from Lost’s past because those that have died live again with this time distortion. That is the only word for it. We have also seen that some didn’t die at all as first thought. One of these faces that we thought died is Jin. Sun had left the island thinking her husband died when the freighter blew up. Now we know he is far from dead, and he is another one traveling through this time loop.

      Lost really has changed the entire ball game when it comes to this series. This week, the group did make it back to the island, and now we have to wonder if this will stop the island’s trip through time. The next episode will focus on John Locke and his adventure on the island and leaving it. Something tells me Lost has a lot more in store for us before the final episode airs in 2010. What do you think of Lost’s fifth season so far?

    • Lost Set To Return

    • ABC has finally announced the date for the return of its hit series Lost. Fans have been waiting for this one since the island disappeared back in May. The series will now return on Wednesday January 21st, and it will remain a part of ABC’s Wednesday night line-up. Many had thought the series would come back on Thursday night following Grey’s Anatomy. However, it seems ABC had other ideas.

      Lost will take over the time slot owned by Private Practice, which was just given a full season order for its second season. No word on where Private Practice will move to yet, but I’m pondering this right now. Could ABC have some method to its madness? Could they be planning to move Private Practice to Thursday nights following Grey’s Anatomy? Life on Mars is currently in that time slot, but that series is in jeopardy of cancellation.

      Private Practice and Grey’s Anatomy are connected, and there is even word of a crossover episode to air sometime this spring. There is no word on whether or not this is happening, but it would make sense. Lost will return though, and we will have all the answers to the questions we were left back in May answered, or we’ll just have more questions. That second one is more likely. I think we may even have questions when the series does come to an end. Lost has never done anything easy. When Lost returns, there will be full weekly recaps at Celebrity Today.

    • Let’s Do The Time Warp Again

    • Time is often played with when it comes to television shows, especially ones that go on for a great deal of time. You see more of this on the daytime dramas when characters disappear and then reappear months or years later looking much older than before they left. This is mostly done with children because it is far more interesting to write for teenagers with all their angst than it is for kids.

      One Tree Hill jumped in time for the end of the high school years to past the college years just this season. Lost goes back and forth in time each and every week, displaying the past, present and the future in one episode. Now another series has decided to play with time, Fox’s 24. It is being said that when the series returns this season, we will have jumped in time four years. In fact, since the beginning of the series, there has been a seventeen year time span dealt with. Jack Bauer will now be a man in his fifties. Kiefer Sutherland is actually 41 years old.

      I think a jump in time isn’t a bad thing. Series show snippets of the lives that would make interesting television. Not every moment is going to be television worthy. Playing with time allows things to happen. However, I do think some instances go so far. As I mentioned before, this happens mostly when it comes to daytime drama. Having a child leave as a toddler one year, and come back as a sixteen year old the next is stretching it!

      I actually think Lost has dealt with time quite interesting. It was confusing at first, but it became easily to follow as the season moved on. I’m excited to see where the next season of Lost takes us. However, we will have to wait until 2009 to find out.

    • More Lost, Ugly Betty Bites Big Apple

    • There is a lot brewing over on ABC lately. Shows are getting ready to end their seasons, as one did last night - Brothers & Sisters. Lost will air its season finale on May 29th, after asking for and receiving an extra hour extension to finish out their year. ABC has also given Lost two more hours over their final two seasons. Yes, the story does have come to an end sometime. Two more seasons, and the story will hopefully told satisfactorily for its fans.

      The additional hour added to each season will make up for the hours lost this season when the show was cut short during the writer’s strike. This means instead of sixteen episodes next season and the following one, we will see seventeen episodes. The story just gets more complicated each week. This week, we will more than likely see the Oceanic Six go home. What does this mean for the rest of the survivors left? I’m sure we will know all about what happens to him as the next two seasons unfold. In my opinion, this has been the best season for the series yet, even with the long hiatus before and the break in between.

      In other ABC news, Boston Legal has been renewed for one more season to air next year. David E. Kelley is the man behind this one, and it looks like he has another show already waiting in the wings when Boston Legal goes off the air. Ugly Bettyis getting ready to start its next season, and it looks like they are making another drastic change. They are plans in motion to move the production of the series from Los Angeles to New York. The governor of California is trying to stop this move, but it looks like it will move forward. This is another in a long list of changes that have happened to the behind the scenes making of the series in the past six months. Too many changes are never good. We can only hope the series survives all these changes.
