Now what could be the most devastating blow arrives with the news that co-creator and showrunner David Goyer is stepping down ...

Lost’s Flight 815 Crash in Real Time
This is a pretty fascinating watch for anyone who is a fan of Lost. With so much bouncing around from character to character and within different timelines it is nearly impossible to piece everything together and recognize how things fit with each other. However this video mash-up, presented in 24 style, does a terrific job of presenting the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 in real time. Most will remember the scenes that are included but probably not how they all developed during the moments su...

Conan O’Brien Goes Out On Top
The ratings for the final The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien were huge as it drew a 4.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic. To put that in perspective it was the highest rated program on all of TV Friday, though that isn't completely surprising given that Friday is generally weak in primetime and the Haiti telethon took over all the networks. However that 4.8 is by far higher than anything NBC has put on the air in primetime lately other than The Biggest Loser which came close with a 4.7 earlier...

Picks for the Golden Globes
The Golden Globes are generally entertaining due to the laid back party atmosphere. Taking advantage of that will be the host Ricky Gervais as it airs on Sunday night at 8ET/5PT on NBC. Outside of the hilarity he is sure to deliver there is some genuine intrigue in the categories this year. While the Globes are voted on by the Hollywood Foreign Press they are still seen as an indicator of the upcoming nominations and potential winners at the Academy Awards as well. I went through each categ...

Jimmy Kimmel Crushes Jay Leno
For some reason Jimmy Kimmel was booked onto The Jay Leno Show to take part in the "10 at 10" segment last night. This was an odd decision for two reasons. The first is that he works for a competing network in late night (ABC). The second is that just earlier this week on his show Kimmel took shots at Leno by doing an impression of him. Kimmel is obviously in the corner of Conan O'Brien so whether NBC thought this would create buzz or if Leno is just that naive either way it was a bizarre deci...
