''Lost'': Dr. Jack spills secrets | Entertainment Weekly

A very informative interview with Matthew Fox on the fourth season of Lost. Of course, he doesn't tell us anything, but still it's nice to read.

Battlestar Galactica - Bastille Day & Acts of Contrition

This week I've watched episodes 3 and 4 of season 1. I won't go into them in detail, you can read the details in battlestarwiki, but the highlight of episode 3 was Tom Zarek vs. Apollo. Zarek is played by Richard Hatch, who was playing Apollo on the Original Series. We now also have a very interesting election to wait for... Other than that, a very standard prison riot episode, with some political drama (freedom fighter vs terrorist).

Cally was shot in the in the stomach on the prison ship, but it didn't take her long, and she is back up for the next one, although Lee Adama still looks pretty banged up from his prison ordeal. In this one Bill Adama finds out that Starbuck is responsible for Zack's death. That scene is one of the strong ones in this episode, as it looks like he is really holding himself from hitting her (...walk out of this cabin...while you still can... ). So we learn more about Zack's death, we get new cadets (with one, Bodie Olmos, son of Edward James Olmos, a.k.a. Bill Adama), and we get one Starbuck, ejecting to a foreign planet.

Desperate Housewives - 4x09

As episode 10 is coming up this week, I've hurried up to see the last two episodes that were waiting for me. In episode 8, the most memorable moment is the one where Victor grabs Gabby by the throat, and says that he remembers everything. It was very creepy. The funny thing is that my wife said at first that he won't remember anything, and then when he said that he doesn't remember, she said that he probably does.

Episode 9 was a very strong one. At the beginning we are promised that one of the four friends would loose a husband. At the end it turns out to be a good thing, as Victor is killed. That was a very nice twist. However, Carlos's money is lost. At the beginning we are also promised that all of them would loose a friend. It's not clear what they mean there. The end is most shocking, when Lynette sees that Mrs. McCluskey's house is gone. That's a very strong finale. I'm glad I've seen it only today, and I don't have to wait for long for the next episode. I am willing to bet though, that nothing will happen to her family.

Find 815

I saw a few more emails today on the official 815 site, as well as a new site, but the next part is coming in just 4 hours, so I'll have to wait a little longer. I do want to recommend some sites about Find 815:

The Find 815 page in Lostpedia. They have a summary of the progress so far.

A Find 815 blog which is an interesting read.

The new official site is The Maxwell Group. It requires a user and password to log in, which we should receive in the next chapter. BTW, no asterisks for the password? Amateurs!

So, just 4 hours to go. Good hunting!

Lost - Oceanic Air and Find815.com

In preparation for the coming Season 4, ABC is giving us something to play with :-) As I never watched the previous live, I've missed on all of the web additional stuff, so this is quite nice.

The first web site is http://www.flyoceanicair.com/ which leads to http://www.find815.com.

You should register on the find815 site so that your progress is saved.

The only clue I can give you, after spending all evening on this, is wait for the clip on find 815 to end. And then wait more. This is true for the other clips as well. If you have a slow connection, it takes time for the second clip to play.

The game is going to continue until January 31st. I hope the rest isn't so difficult, now that I know the secret is to wait.
