jon - kate+8?

unless you live in a hole (a hole that doesn't have wi-fi or cable or a People magazine subscription), by now you know something about the Jon & Kate Plus 8 debocle. as a long-time watcher of the show, i'm quite sad, though not too too surprised by the recent turn of events. the season 5 premier episode was pretty sad, with jon and kate barely looking at or talking to each other (even at the sextuplets' birthday party), and only appearing in intereviews together briefly. they both seemed sad and at a loss for what to do next. i came upon this interview with kate's brother and sister-in-law (both have frequently appeared on the show) that seemed really interesting. instead of coming to their aid and defending them, the relatives tearfully say that the kids are being exploited (duh) and hate being on camera. it's pretty interesting stuff if you're at all interested in this story. i know i am.

that's a weird way to tell us.

so in my usual morning scour of the internet for more lost goodies, i noticed that doc jensen had a post on ew.com. his full, final recap will be out later this week. also - the recap of the finale on LLL is up! hoorah!

according to doc, the folks over at lost headquarters have quietly let us in on a big mystery - the four-toed statue is definitely taweret. according to wikipedia, very early in Egyptian history, taweret was seen as a deity of protection in pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnant women wore amulets with her name or likeness to protect their pregnancies. but if this statue had been up since jacob-y olden times, then maybe the "pregnancy problem" wasn't something that the Others caused, or was not soley affecting those women or in that time period. seems like it might be something that has been a problem on the island for a looooong time, if they felt the need to erect this huge statue to guard the island.

a while ago, doc asked what were our top 3 lost mysteries that we MUST know the answers too. (i think this is the main thesis of his next post). anyhow, here are some good ones that he has shared so far:

• Where did Claire go?

• Where are Cindy and the kids?

• What's Libby's backstory

• What's Richard Alpert's backstory?

• Why could Walt do the weird things he could do?

maybe my parents want to move...

...to a different house in Highland Park? if so, they should check this one out.

don't tell me what i can't rue.

i don't know about you, but i have been in serious lost withdrawl. thank goodness tvgasm came to my rescue today with the recap of the second half of the lost finale. i know some of you aren't too keen on the funny-style recaps, but this one is gold. and honestly, what else do you have to live for at this point?

we're still waiting on more doc jensen and the LLL recap. stay tuned. in the meantime, you can ponder this question from e:

"yo, so when locke's douchebag father appeared on the island, you think that was also anti-jacob/smoke monster guy?"
and if it wasn't really anthony cooper, then that dude is still alive! and - who the hell did sawyer really kill?!

one more thing about this new imposter-locke. i am really liking his new names, including flocke (fake+locke) and mocke (mock+locke). any other good ones out there?

meet rebecca.
