The Morning After: Comic Drama

I actually thought the Lost panel was very revealing. *****Possible spoilers ahead*****

There were two videos that were shown, one with Hurley as CEO of the chicken place talking about his great luck since visiting Australia, and one with America's Most Wanted where Kate didn't kill her father, but instead a plumber that was working for him. The first one could have been made just to be funny, but the second one makes me think that these are both clues and that we will be dealing with an alternate reality for S6.

Nester (Richard) is joining the main cast and will have his story revealed (I guess we saw that coming). There were also some other casting notes, and some clarifications on who is really dead that I won't post.

The BBC had a place where explosions took place - an old quarry I think. It appeared in all sorts of programs across genres. TV shows like Doctor Who, at least the versions I watched 30 and more years ago, were similarly thrifty with the scenery. So it was strangely gratifying to see the Torchwood: Children Of Earth rely on a cloud of smoke and a spongeful of yellow dye to represent their latest alien being.

For me this was "jolly hockeysticks" television, ruddy cheeked resilience to dire danger. It was prime Saturday Morning Cinema fare, viewed best sitting with 150 noisy others in the front rows of the Odeon; but hardly worth adult attention in prime time despite the homoerotic kiss and the futile family murder/suicide.
