Are you, Lost?

I find television has little to offer me as of late. I don't understand "reality TV." If I find myself talking to someone and they say they like reality tv, I consider it a flaw in there personality.

Most of the shows I watch are off the radar. Except the one I think almost everyone is watching, Lost. This past week Lost aired what is being considered by most fans and fellow geeks as "the best episode of the season." Not only did the episode focus a lot on John Locke but after a slow start this season helping explain what the hell is going on, the show was taken up a notch by reviling more details about the island. This link here is just the greatest thing ever! Go geek out on it! Thanks to The Drow for the link.

For me inparticular I've enjoyed the show because of the work done by Terry O'Quinn. He has been a part of so many great shows on TV under the chicgeek lexicon. X-Files, Earth 2, Tales From The Crypt and my all time favorite ST:TNG as William T. Riker's old C.O. Admiral Eric Pressman. Mr. O'Quinn brings so much intensity without ever over doing the intimacey he has with the camera. You can never tell if you should trust him or if he is going MAD! The DM has always said in all the games we've played that the scariest "badguy" is "the one who is calm and invites you to dinner." I agree. I don't think Locke is going to be reveiled as a antaganist or anything but he does make Jack crazy sometimes. Making him perfect for this particular show.

What I also find intresting is the fact that he seems to work alot in genre material. I wonder if he seeks it out or they seek him? I would guess that at his level he is getting asked to work.

Well, here's to you Mr. O'Quinn, a true chicgeek!

I have to add that as I catch up on Battlestar Galactica and begin season II, I really like Aaron Douglas as Chief Petty Officer Galen Tyrol. He has a great presence on camera. I look forward to his work with every episode.
