Lost (ABC) — I actually almost forgot about “Lost” — that’s how little I cared about last week’s episode. I mean, not that 
“Lost” has ever been beholden to Newtonian physics, but if a hole gets blown in a submerged submarine, you can’t just swim out the hole. There’s the little issue of thousands of gallons of (very heavy) water flowing in through the hole that prevent that from happening. Anyway, there are spoofs about the end of the series at Atom and Babelgum. [GIF via]
30 for 30: Straight Outta L.A. (ESPN) — Ice Cube directed this documentary about the Raiders’ 1982 move to Los Angeles and how the nascent gangsta rap culture adopted the Silver & Black as its own. More at FilmDrunk.
The Biggest Loser (NBC) — Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo makes an appearance to motivate the disgusting lardbuckets. “Please, guys,” he pleads with the contestants, “you need to take better care of your body than Jessica Simpson did after I dumped her.”
NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS) — It’s like “NCIS,” but Los Angeles-ier.
American Idol (Fox) — Jamie Foxx serves as the mentor the final four, not that anyone in America cares. “Naw, see, you’re tryin’ too hard. Here, listen to this –” *cranks ‘Blame it on the Alcohol’* — “See? You just let Auto-Tune do the work.”
Glee (Fox) — Ever since “Community” took a potshot at “Glee” last week, people have been pointing out a growing backlash against “Glee.” I’m okay with that.
Little Chocolatiers (TLC) — Preceded by “19 Kids and Counting,” thereby checking TLC’s required minimum of predictably exploitative shows.

Yep, the submarine scene totally ruined the ultra-realism that Lost has been going for all along
Evangeline, your GIF’s are inferior to Alison Brie’s!!!
How did Jamie Foxx, Ice Cube, and the Oakland Raiders not make it on “Biggest Loser” with Romo?
@Dirty – Because Jamie Foxx is dead?
/He is isn’t he? I haven’t seen him in a year or two anyway.
Before the submarine even happened, did Lost ever address how the fuck they planned on flying that airplane off of the island?
@Dat dude: By switching the engines on and letting the pilot at it?
Community didn’t just take a potshot, it took a killshot. That might have been the best episode of any network show this season. I love both Community and Modern Family, but Community has been unstoppable.
Question: does anyone remember Acceptable.TV- a VH1 show from a few years ago, from the creators of The Sarah Silverman Program and Community?
What about “Justified”.
so not trying to be all contrarian and lost apologist, but once the sub filled up with water, you could swim out, the way you can open a car door once the car is completely filled with water but not until.
We’ve read 90% of this LOST shit, feeling that ole Ufford’s just got his contrarian pannies in a bunch. We thought the show was cool, we fell in to the “walk among you” category. But tonight’s episode was the most unmitigated dogshit payoff in the history of television. A fucking mystery light(?), a dimestore cain & abel story, a flash back that doesn’t even include evangeline lily’s tits? And this is how you wrap up 40% of the entire fucking nonsense part of the show? Battlestar Galactica horseshit? People who watch this shitty shitty manipulative show read books, and are douchebags about it, we’ll take a lot of license, a drunk scotsman and some ewoks would have probably sufficed. BUT noooo, you give us heaven is storm drain. Kindly go fuck yourself LOST, after 2 seasons and a pre-finals bender that lead to watching all the past episodes online, never before or since have we lamented such a monumental time suck (Okay in fairness we’ve been to some KC Royal’s games) but a giant fuck you to LOST, from the universe.
Oh, and…
FUCK YO SUBMARINE!
I am intrigued by your views and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Also, “Heaven is a Storm Drain” will be the title of my first album.
This recent 30 for 30 cant hold a candle to “The U”.
Ha, I for one can’t wait to see if Matt loved or hated this episode. On one hand, the internet is about to have an epic civil war between :
a) people who hated this episode and think the show is total bullshit now because there were no clear cut answers about island Mother’s past, what the fuck the Light really is, and how everything seems to be magic, and
b) those who think it was actually a pretty cool episode and helped show that Lost is one big post-modern mythological story, where no one really knows what’s objectively going on and no one is clear cut good or bad. And yet our characters are still making due with the limited knowledge they have and fight on the hope that they can make up for their shitty upbringings and pasts.
But it’s all quite a big jump from being pissed that big ol’ Hurley could swim out of a submerged submarine that only kinda exploded 4 minutes below the top of the sea.
Well, I liked it. It didn’t answer all of our questions, but it’s Lost. What do you expect? And, honestly, I don’t think they need to explain everything, so long as we get the big picture at the end.
One complaint, though. Did they really have to show a flashback to Jack and Kate finding the skeletons? That was a big moment; we remember that. No need to remind us.
@Patty
A legitimate gripe about the flashback. I think they did that for the casual fan though.
I’m a huge Lost fan and I hated it. It didn’t suck, it was just really frustrating and not satisfying at all.
@ryan: Yeah, I remember, though Acceptable.TV had more to do with Channel 101 as a whole than just the creators of those two shows. Also, Homeless James Bond might be the best thing I’ve ever seen.
