Lost Primer

There is a great website recapping past episodes and trying to set the record straight on theories and clues. That website is called Long Live Locke and I implore you to check it out before tonight's episode. There is also a great, and very spoiler-free interview with Michael Emerson (Ben Linus) here.

I miss 'Fringe' already and it has only been a week. Meanwhile, it seems that February Sweeps is not as fun as it used to be - CBS has already benched HIMYM and Big Bang for the next two weeks in favor of re-runs, so I guess they know something I don't about the value of sweeps.

Speaking of which, little known fact....'Sweeps' months are really only for the local affiliates these days to get their ratings measured for the 10 O'Clock news. Did you know that? All your fave network shows are metered nightly and weekly, but the news ratings in your town, which set advertising rates, are only judged in November, February, and May. The networks recognize the need to help out their local carriers, so they put out their best material during these months so that the eyeballs stayed glued to their stations. During the promos, when your news anchor tells you that there are three restaurants in your town serving spoiled foods, or find out which bus drivers in your district are drunk, you will be sure to tune in at 10. And that my friends, is one to grow on.
