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!

Tonight’s episode on the hit ABC series LOST was called Ji Yeon and is a Sun & Jin 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.

We open this episode by rejoining our losties on the freighter. Desmond awakes locked in the sickbay of the Kahana with Sayid (Naveen Andrews). Sayid is already working on his breakfast from a can as they see a note being tossed into the room (Ben’s man on the boat?). The note reads, “Don’t trust the Captain”.

When Desmond and Sayid (Naveen Andrews) do meet Captain Gault, they start to get a pretty good idea of the freighter’s mission. The Captain shows them the flight data recorder (the black box) from flight 815 (obviously fake because the real one is on the island with the actual wreckage) and tells them it was “obtained” by charles Widmore (Penny’s dad). He goes on to repeat the story told to the rest of the world about the wreckage being found in the Sunda Trench with 324 dead bodies aboard. Even the captain seems a bit awestruck by someone who would have the power to fake such a thing.

Remember, we learned last week in The Other Woman that the freighter controlled by Mr. Widmore who also bought the First Mate’s diary from the Black Rock and who, according to Ben, has been looking for the island for years. Apparently he knows a lot more about this island that we think. He also sponsored the boat race that got Desmond lost…was he doing so hoping one of the entries would find the island?

We see Sun and Jin sitting by the fire where Jin wants to talk about names for the baby. If it’s a girl he wants to name her “Ji Yeon”. Sun doesn’t want to think about (perhaps because she has been told by Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) that she will not carry the baby to term and will die). Sun says it’s a beautiful name and doesn’t want to jinx the baby. They make a deal to get of the Island first, before discussing it further.

Kate (Evangeline Lilly) tells Sun and Jin about Charlotte hitting her on the head. She explains that Charlotte and Daniel have turned of the poison gas factory and deactivated the gas, gaining some brownie points. She also says that Juliet lied about the Tempest being a power station, “probably out of habit”. Finally she reveals that the freighter-people have talked about a lot of things, but that none involved rescuing them.

We find Jin making breakfast and Jack (Matthew Fox)compliments him on how his English has improved. Jin tells Jack that Sun and Sawyer (Josh Holloway) have been teaching him…but Sun is the better teacher. Sun comes running up and pauses at the sight of Jack. Jack asks her about how she is doing and Sun says that the morning sickness has stopped. When Jack leaves them, Sun tells Jin to pack food for two days…they are moving to Locke’s group.

Kate (Evangeline Lilly) draws a map for Jin and Sun to Locke’s barracks and tells them that after giving them a good head start, she will have to tell Jack (Matthew Fox) that they have left. Sun and Kate agree that Jack wouldn’t understand why they are leaving. As they are saying goodbye, they are interrupted by Juliet who tries to stop Sun from leaving. She tells Jin that Sun is very sick and will die within three weeks if she doesn’t leave the island. Sun has made up her mind though and Jin says: “Where Sun go, I go”. In a last ditch effort to stop her, Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) tells Jin that Sun had an affair…well, that tactic worked, but Sun did get a good slap in on Juliet.

After a little calming time Jin comes back around settles down…and makes dinner for Sun. He forgives her and they make up. During Jin’s absence Juliet successfully convinces Sun to stay and protect the baby.

We also see a new “flash” device this week…not flash backs…not flash forward…but BOTH! Ultimately we find out that Sun is flashing forward and Jin is flashing back. In one of Sun’s flashes forward we find out that she is one of the Oceanic 6 (joining Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sayid). We also see in one of her flashes that she has a little girl.

Back on the freighter after Sayid and Desmond talk with the Captain, they are taken to new digs…digs that are still soiled by the apparent suicide shot to the head of its previous occupant. The doc who showed them the way calls over Kevin Johnson to clean it up and as he emerges out of the shadows we see that Kevin Johnson is none other than Michael!

And the at the very end Another Shoe Drops! Hurley visits Sun after the baby is born in Korea and they go to visit Jin…in the cemetery! JIN IS DEAD! It seems Jin’s flashbacks predate their flight on Oceanic 815. What we don’t know is how or when he died! CRAP!

And according to the trailer for next week…someone else is going to die!

Tonight’s episode on the hit ABC series LOST was called The Other Woman and is a Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) centric episode.

This is a continuation of our series on the hit ABC series LOST. If you missed the previous installments, check here. You can get caught up on previous seasons of LOST here.

We’ve come to have an uneasy trust of Dr. Burke in the recent past even coming up to speed a little on how she came to be on the island, her distrust & dislike for Ben, and how badly she wants off the island. In this weeks installment of the hit ABC series LOST, we find out even more about Juliet Burke (Elizabeth Mitchell), especially some of the more romantic details of her stay on the island.

We know from previous back story that Juliet was recruited to come to the island to study the difficulty women were having giving birth. Juliet was initially promised that she could “try out” her engagement on the island for only 6 months, making it possible for her to be back for the birth of her sister’s child. Well, that 6 month trial period passed the three year mark on the day of the crash, and not because she didn’t want to leave! We also found out last season that Juliet and Godwin were lovers. Well…

As the episode opens Juliet is meeting with Harper, the “Others” therapist. She’s been on the island for about a week and is having a bit of trouble adjusting. Their session is interrupted so that Ben can present Juliet with her new home, a 2 bedroom / 2 bath cottage with washer and dryer.

We cut to the beach where Juliet is putting together her shelter for the evening when Jack realizes that Daniel and Charlotte are missing. As Jack, Juliet and the other losties head off into the jungle to find them Juliet in confronted by Harper who tells her that Ben wants her to go to the Tempest station, find them, and kill them… then… Harper disappears.

We cut to Juliet meeting Goodwin in some sort of clinic where he’s seeking first aid for some sort of chemical burn on his arm. It’s there that we find out that Goodwin and Harper are actually married!

Flash back to the jungle and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Jack (Matthew Fox) are marching on a mission toward the Tempest to intercept Daniel and Charlotte. Flash to Daniel and Charlotte as they are discovered by Kate (Evangeline Lilly). Charlotte draws down on Kate but Daniel vouches for her. They chat for a bit and as Kate starts to put two and two together, Charlotte whacks Kate on the head to unconsciousness.

We’re back to Harper and Juliet talking and Harper asks Juliet how long she’s been sleeping with her husband, Goodwin. Juliet apologizes and Harper tells Juliet that if she continues her relationship with Goodwin that Ben will get hurt!?! (Maybe Juliet was brought to the island for Ben?)

Cut to Locke and Claire discussing the best way to get info from Miles. She’s frustrated and Locke continues to resist… then he goes to see Ben. And of course Ben starts in with the mental assault against Locke, suggesting that the people will be angry when they figure our John doesn’t have a plan. John blows him off and hits the road just as Ben dangles tidbits about their common enemy in front of Locke’s nose.

Flash to a beach scene with Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Goodwin sharing a picnic and a bottle of wine. They are obviously intimate in the way they talk and touch. They acknowledge that Ben has a crush on her and agree to keep their relationship a secret.

We see flight 815 falling and Ben’s instructions to Ethan and Goodwin…and his nod to Juliet as he runs off to join the tailies.

Jack and Juliet find Kate tossed in the high grass in the jungle where she tells them what happened. Under the pretense of getting water for Kate, Juliet leaves Kate and Jack to head toward the Tempest station.

Back at the barracks, Ben is working a deal with Locke to affect his release. Ben leads Locke to a hidden safe in the house that contains a video tape. As they watch the tape we see Charles Widmore (Penny’s dad) on some surveillance tape. Ben tells Locke that Widmore has been looking for the island for years and that he is the power behind the freighter. He states further that he believes Widmore wants to exploit the island, obviously playing to John’s desire to protect the island. When Locke demands to know who Ben’s man on the boat is…we go to commercial.

Returning to Kate and Jack hot on Juliet’s trail. As Juliet arrives at the Tempest station we cut back to Ben’s house as Juliet is arriving for dinner. As they eat Ben is frustrated by Juliet’s mention of Goodwin’s return from the tailies. Back at the Tempest Juliet comes upon Daniel and Charlotte, dressed in protective gear, working on a computer. She draws down on Daniel and he pauses (duh…).

As Daniel assures Juliet that he’s trying to make the poison gas inert and safe, Charlotte attacks her and they struggle. The alarm system shuts down and all seems safe with just 2 seconds left…talk about drama!

In a flashback Ben comes to see Juliet and they discuss having Jack operate on Ben’s spinal tumor. Ben seems down and as it turns out its because…Goodwin is dead. He takes Juliet to see Goodwin’s body and tells her part of the story. Ben sees her distress and appears to be resolved now that Juliet will not be his. She becomes angry with Ben for leaving Goodwin with the tailies so he could die and she ask him why. That’s when he tells her that she is his then he leaves her there in the jungle with Goodwin’s impaled body.

Back at the Tempest Kate and Jack catch up with Juliet, Charlotte, and Daniel. Jack and Juliet are left alone outside as the others go inside for a few minutes. She tells him she has feelings for Jack and Jack plants one on her…a good one!

At the barracks Hugo and Sawyer are playing horse shoes when they see Ben strolling through the compound and into a house.

And that’s it for this week.
