That was one of the most unexpected and emotionally shocking deaths of a character I've ever seen in a television show. That whole episode was superior television writing. I am stunned --- is gone.
Bravo to the "Lost" writers for knocking one out of the park. Fans online are going nuts all over the place right now. I wonder if "Heroes" being so good is raising the "Lost" writers' quality and vice versa. Both shows are so good and the writing gets better every week!
And not only did we get the surprise death, we also got awesome machete killings, the return of the "creature", the mysterious eye-patch man, and some fucking awesome byzantine mind-games from "the others".
That's hot damn good tv!

I don't believe it! (SPOILERS)
Oh my god! I know I've been raving about "Heroes" like a lunatic for a few weeks, but "Lost" has also quietly been kicking ass all month.
Tonight's episode - oh my god - I can't believe it. "Lost" friggin rocks! That ending was so fucking awesome. Greta was crying. I'm sitting there in stunned, pissed off silence. I am outraged and yet so thoroughly entertained.
I can't believe what just happened on that show. Can't believe it!

"Heroes"
Best new show of the season. Bar none. Y'all better be watching. (Marc, I am talking specifically to you!)
Watch the episodes you missed for free on NBC.com. Tonight's ending kicked unholy ass - but only if you've watched the episodes in order.

I will always consider Season One a classic. The show totally imploded after that though. Similar thing happened to "Friday Night Lights". Good thing both first seasons tell stand alone stories with a beginning, middle, and end.

Ground Zero
NBC’s The Biggest Loser isn’t the only show in the new Fall line-up to diss DC. CBS’ new show Jericho, about surviving nuclear holocaust, has giving DC the rub as well. (Although considering the circumstances maybe that’s a good thing).
In a dramatic scene from last night’s episode a character marks, with red pins in a map, all the U.S. cities to be nuked in the attack. Somehow Washington DC doesn’t get a pin! That doesn’t make any sense at all. We get Atlanta and Denver nuked but not DC – what? The character’s hand even sweeps passed DC on the map – but no pin.
Granted a few pins get placed off-screen, and DC might be one of them, but if you were directing this scene – the big reveal that the US just got massively nuked – wouldn’t DC be one of the first cities to really ram it home to the audience that the U.S. is wiped out?

Top 25 Fictional DC Resident: #17 Josh Lyman
Name: Josh Lyman
Occupation: White House Chief of Staff
Josh Lyman is the quintessential DC-transplant, politico success story. After Harvard and Yale law school, Josh moved to Washington D.C. where he served several years in various positions with both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
In 1998 Josh left Capitol Hill to work on John Hoynes’ presidential campaign. However after hearing Jed Bartlet, Hoynes’ competitor, speak at an engagement Josh was so inspired that he immediately resigned from Hoynes’ campaign to work for Bartlett. After Bartlett’s presidential victory Josh was hired as Deputy White House Chief of Staff.
After seven years with the Bartlett Administration, Josh resigned to run dark-horse Matt Santos’ presidential campaign. Josh’s masterful campaign strategies secured the presidency for Santos. The new President rewarded Josh’s dedication and drive with the position of White House Chief of Staff.
Josh is considered by many to be a cocky know-it-all, but no one has ever accused him of laying down on the job. In fact Josh’s passion for achieving great things for his country is so consuming that his only real friends are those who work around him, most notably Donna Moss, Toby Ziegler, and C.J. Craig.
