Tonight’s episode on the hit ABC series LOST was called Meet Kevin Johnson and is a Michael centric episode.

This is a continuation of our series on the hit ABC series LOST. If you missed the previous installments, check here. If the whole LOST thing isn’t making much sense to you, you can get caught up on previous seasons of LOST here.

AS the ep opens, we get a review of who Michael is, what he did and how he got off the island…reminding us of all the reasons those left on the island have to dislike him. And if there were any question about whether they like him or not, we’re reminded by Sawyer (Josh Holloway) during a lostie meeting held in one of the barrack houses. During the meeting Ben reveals Michael is “his man” on the freighter and Locke tells the group they now have to protect Ben because the freighters will kill our losties after they retrieve Ben.

Back on the freighter Sayid (Naveen Andrews) and Desmond witness the Captain of the freighter beating the snot out of some guy on the deck. He claims he’s doing so to remind everyone what happened the last time someone tried to leave without his permission (uh, hello… bring us up to speed will ya!)

Sayid then finds a quick and quiet moment to question Michael about how he came to be on the island…again, and prompting our first flash of the evening. During the flash Michael appears to be driving around New York in a crappy green car in an attempt to kill himself? He only managed to land in the hospital. Then we see him trying to get past his mom to see Walt, clearly after the plane crash based on the dialog. They made it back but can’t tell anyone…hhhmmm.

Things don’t seem to be all that great with Michaeld and Walt as him mom wouldn’t let him pass. Michael catches a glimpse of Walt in the window and Walt hides. Next he goes to a pawn shop, gets a gun, and goes to an alley to kill himself…only to be interrupted by Tom (or Mr. Friendly, which ever you prefer). So it looks like this is between Michael and Walt leaving the island and before Tom gets killed on the beach. It also means Tom could come and go from the island as well. Was he keeping an eye on Michael?

In a strange conversation between Michael and Tom, Tom tells him that that the Island won’t let him kill himself. Michael goes to Tom’s hotel suite (where we find our that Tom is GAY (remember he said Kate wasn’t his type!)) where Tom reveals to him Widmore did in fact stage the wreckage of Flight 815. Widmore did so to keep the island to himself! Because the “Others” don’t want that, Tom was sent to push Michael into an undercover job on the freighter with the ultimate objective of killing everyone on the freighter!

(BTW, we’ve just been through what I think is the longest flash of the series)

When Michael arrives at the freighter in Fiji he finds a care package from Tom, presumably with guns to kill the crew…but he won’t open it now that he’s met some of them. When he finally does open it, inside is a black case that he opens to find a big ole booming bomb! Just as he’s about to start the detonation sequence we get a creepy visit from Libby warning him off…but he does it anyway and after the countdown… a note saying “NOT YET”… what the crap?

Still in the flash, Michael get a “phone call” via the radio room from Ben where Ben tells Michael he is to compile a list of people on the freighter, then disable the radio room, then the engines.

Michael agrees and we’re suddenly beck to present on the freighter and Sayid promptly snatches Michael up and rats him out to the ship’s captain.

Back on the island, Karl, Alex and Russo have been slipped secret directions to the Temple by Ben where he believes they will be safe. On the way, Karl and Russo are shot dead…so much for being safe, huh! To this Alex jumps up, throws up her hands and proclaims she is Ben’s daughter…and the episode ends there!

We get a little bit of a mid-season break here. The next new episode won’t be on till April 24th at a new time 10e/9c. Hope I can wait that long…

I’m moving all my LOST recaps and information to a new website called What Happened On LOST. Thanks for visiting and please bookmark the new site!

At the risk of turning this into a TV show blog, I just HAVE to make a few comments on last night’s episode of Dancing With the Stars on ABC.

If you know me at all you know I don’t watch much TV so to be writing about two shows is a pretty big deal. I was flippin through the channels last night looking for WebMoney ideas and came across Dancing With the Stars season six. Now I didn’t see Monday night’s show where the men danced but last night it was just the Women of Dancing With the Stars…and they were pretty good.

First up was Shannon Elizabeth on Dancing With the Stars. She actually did a pretty good job and the crowd sure seemed to like her.

Next was Monica Seles on Dancing With the Stars. The former tennis player didn’t do quite as well on the dance floor as she did on the tennis courts. She was stiff and obviously nervous. I’d look for her to be the first woman eleminated from Dancing With the Stars Season 6.

We also say Kristi Yamaguchi on Dancing With the Stars. The world champion and olympic gold medalist skater performed up to her expectations…very well. An early favorite because of her skating background Kristi Yamaguchi proved she would glide around the dance floor just as well as the ice. (Please…pardon the puns…i’m on a roll today!)

The last dancer of the evening was Marlee Matlin on Dancing With the Stars. The award winning actress is totally deaf and Marlee and her partner put on a stellar performance! She could go a long way on Dancing With the Stars season 6.

Far and away however was the performance of Priscilla Presely on Dancing With the Stars. I was shocked. Despite Priscilla Presley age and being the poster child for how to NOT have plastic surgery done, her performance was awesome! New leader in the race to win Dancing With the Stars for sure!

After posting my earlier article on Making WebMoney with Money Magnet, I looked it over and thought… I can do better than that. So here goes.

After a bit of my daily web surfing yesterday I stumbled across a new little gem of a WebMoney widget called Money Magnet. It is so simple that it only took a few minutes for me to see how easy it would be to make some extra cash with this Money Magnet thing.

Making money online is the brass ring of the Internet and the Money Magnet guys have found a cool way to do it. Very simply you purchase a Money Magnet widget with PayPal from a site or blog that is displaying one (like THIS BLOG, hint, hint) for as little as $10. After you pay, you are taken directly to the page with the HTML code you need to put the Money Magnet widget on your site.

The cool thing is as soon as your PayPal payment clears, the owner of the site you bought from gets paid IMMEDIATELY! No waiting for minimum payouts, you don’t even have to wait for the end of the month. Your commission is deposited to your PayPal account INSTANTLY!

Another interesting thing about the Money Magnet widget is that you can buy widgets in different monetary amounts! I bought the cheapest at $10. The higher the dollar amount you purchase, the more you earn. For instance, with the $10 Money Magnet widget I will earn $5 for every sale originated through my site, even if the sale is for a $100 widget. Bummer right? Well, not exactly because with the $10 widget I can sell ANY Money Magnet widget ($10, $20, $30, $40, $50, and $100). If I bought the $100 widget I’d earn $50 per sale but I could ONLY sell the $100 widget.

So go ahead and add the 125×125 Money Magnet widget to your blog and see what kind of cash you can receive. All that’s left is to get the traffic! Check out more information and buy your own Money Magnet to start earning at www.GetMoneyMagnet.com.

Enjoy!
