I don't care if he can see the future, if he's already lived it, or if he's just nuts, I love Desmond like The Others love kidnapping. Like Sawyer loves nicknames. Like Charlie loves being a whiny baby.

But sadly, we're back with Jack and Sawyer and Kate this week. So probably no Desmond. And Charlie probably doesn't die. YET.

And there are a bunch of shows I don't watch: American Idol, ugh, again, FOREVER; Jericho, some sort of a "hit" now, even though the pilot was predictable and silly; Friday Night Lights, which is gets this year's Veronica Mars Award For Best Show No One Watches; and Top Design, which I hear from some very reputable sources is terrible. Apparently Wednesdays without Desmond make me very negative.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming: OMG. OMG. Gross. This is the description of a TLC show called That's Gotta Hurt: "A BASE jumper's botched landing into a shallow river drives his femur through his flesh; a seven-month pregnant woman learns that her baby is growing in her abdominal cavity, not her womb." EEEE!!! Followed by Menopause at 22, which is pretty much self-explanatory, and probably a relief after that whole abdominal womb thing.

Once again, my old pal George Takei has done some astonishing work.  When he's not hanging out in Vermont, getting roasted just as much as William Shatner or doing guest spots on Heroes, he's doing segments for Jimmy Kimmel.  Just watch.

A croissant sounds lovely right now. 

• Spike TV is planning a reality show where crime scenes are recreated and contestants have to guess who did it.  This was actually done a long-ass time ago on FOX as the show Murder in Small Town X where people had to live in a house and solve a murder mystery.  The whole town was brought to life by actors — just like Colonial Williamsburg only crappier and with murder.
• A Top Design judge used to be a pin-up. 
• Lesbian Commenter Mini-Mafia take heart!  Rumor has it that there might be a Grey's Anatomy spin-off starring none other than Kate Walsh.
