Doc Jensen—'Lost': Grading the Season So Far

(  This is one of the best articles theorizing LOST's time travel that I have ever read.... )

 

Interview with Mr. Keillor

 I am a great fan of Garrison Keillor. I became his fan in 1984 when I went to the library and took out the first book he has ever written: Happy to Be Here.  It was a book of essays that he wrote, and I feel in love with his writing. (I practically own everybook he ever wrote.) Also, later on, I found out that he has a radio show named "A Prairie Home Companion." I became an avid listener from that moment on.

I listened to the show faithfully every Saturday evening, exchanging tapes with other listeners for those episodes that I missed. I heard nothing but nice things about him. There was an incident when a person, who later became a friend of mine, went to see him live, and wanted to repurchase a certain album of 4 tapes that GK had put out. Apparently, one of the tapes was eaten by his tape player. He was told to contact us (the forum of tape exchangers) and have one of us tape it for him. GK's policy was  was not to make money off of people who already bought his stuff. He didn't mind the bootlegging of recorded material that was going on on the Internet. We were shocked to know that he knew of our existence.

Later on, Keillor did some online chat with us. I was one of the chosen ones to correspond with him. He was so nice and polite to all of us. His Web site was a result of many of our inputs. 

So, anyway, I am posting here an interview that was done in 2007. It is a bit old, but not outdated. I am putting it here, because stuff like this tends to disappear off of the Internet. I want to preserve it. You are welcome to read it if you'd like to.

Samantha Who?

Finally, the new season is starting. This writer's strike was awful.

Well, anyway, I saw my first new episode of Samantha Who? And true to form, I loved it. An added attraction was Kiele Sanchez (Nikki of LOST). She played Chloe, Samantha's ex's new girlfriend. It was refreshing to see Kiele and not hate her.

Samantha is still in love with Todd. But Todd seems to be in love with Chloe. Samantha is no longer evil and she tries to tolerate Chloe. Chloe, however, is just like Samantha was in the past: Mean. 

This episode is one of the first episodes to touch upon Samantha's attempt to gain Todd's love back.
