‘Lost’ is closer to answers

0

Brace yourself for the onslaught of talk about: “Lost”

Just one season left, and there are still so many questions! What’s Ben’s endgame? Who’s walking and talking like Locke if Locke’s really dead? Did Juliet reset time when she detonated that bomb? (Tuesday)

But for questions that don’t need answers, we can talk about: “The Sarah Silverman Program”

The official third season set-up of the Comedy
Central show: “Laura wants Sarah to ‘man-up’ and start taking
responsibilities for her life, so she falsely informs her that she was
born a hermaphrodite. Sarah accepts her manhood and decides to move
into the woods and live off of the land. Meanwhile, Brian and Steve are
haunted by Mr. Jenkins and must dig up his grave and replace the remote
that killed him in his corpse’s chest.” Dig in. (Thursday)

Before “Valentine’s Day,” women will want to talk about: “Dear John”

Why? Because Nicholas Sparks has powers. Consider yourselves warned, guys. And don’t forget the tissues for this film. (Friday)

Really? Will we really get to talk about: Lil Wayne’s “Rebirth”?

The rapper’s “rock album” has been pushed back again
and again. Hasn’t it been an entire year since we heard its first
single, “Prom Queen”? If all stays on track, we’ll get it this week,
right before Weezy goes to jail for attempted criminal possession of a
weapon. But given the leak online and mixed reviews, he won’t be headed
there with a bang. (Tuesday)

At least, we can still talk about: “Finian’s Rainbow”

Despite raves, last year’s revival of the curious 1947 Broadway
show — famously about a pot of gold, one leprechaun, a mute, a racist
politician and some heroic tobacco sharecroppers — closed after just 92
performances. Fortunately, that “Old Devil Moon” as sung by stars Cheyenne Jackson and Kate Baldwin lives on in the cast album. (Tuesday)

Will anyone talk about: “The Michael Vick Project”?

Oh, famous people. Why do they insist that reality
TV is the best place to tell their side of the story? After spending 18
months in prison for operating an illegal dog-fighting ring, NFL
quarterback Michael Vick is hoping that his new BET series
will show viewers that he’s learned from his mistakes. Couldn’t playing
well for the Philadelphia Eagles accomplish the same thing? (Tuesday)
