Lost/Family Guy Subconscious Joke?


Could there be a subconscious inside joke with calling a newscaster in a flashback Tricia Tanaka in Hurley's episode on 'Lost'. She is Asian and sounds suspiciously like Tricia Takanawa, newscaster from 'Family Guy.'

Addison spin-offs well deserved but stirs jealously

Kate Walsh, who portrays Dr. Addison Montgomery is getting spinned off on a own series. Congrats to her. When news broke, "The rest of the cast seemed instantly resentful of [Walsh]," says a source, because they all thought they were going to get their own show. Dr. Grey herself, Ellen Pompeo, was especially unhappy, as she thought she should've been consulted. - AOL article here. I think they should have spinned her off earlier. I've grown to like her and believe she is integral to the series now. Other characters that are worthy to be spin-off are Callie and Joe the gay bartender. Most likely, Addison will be moving away because sources says the series won't be based in Seattle like the original.

Good news is that series creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes brought it up and will be completely behind me. It surprises me because it sounds sort of flimsy and would have liked that the spin-off series would not be like medical. But some critics believe it would be like a 'Law & Order' or 'C.S.I.' franchise. Anyhoo, I think Kate is worthy of heading her own series.
Hopefully Dr. Steamy or Callie will make guest spots. While the drama behind the series has caused more gossip than the actual series, I hope that brickering dies out soon. One of my favorite critics, Matt Roush talks about his reactions on TVGuide.com.

Orlando Jones

Kudos to Orlando Jones who did deverse roles in February. He played a strict 'drill sergeant'-like teacher in 'Everybody Hates Chris' and a gay estranged son in 'Men in Trees.'

Nathan Fillion in "Drive"

This might be old news but I just found out that super-talented Nathan Fillion ('Firefly') will be in the upcoming FOX show "Drive" along with Whedonversie Amy Acker ('Angel'). Unfortuantely because it is FOX and shows don't last that long, I don't think it will last. Check out the official website, still up as of August 2007.

Justin Timberlake's What Goes Around

Justin Timberlake's new video "What Goes Around Comes Around" features Scarlett Johansson (Home Alone 3) and Shawn Hatosy (In & Out) and the 'plot' was written by Nick Cassavetes (Alpha Dog). I like the song even though uses a cliche in the title which like everyone else I believe is about Britney. (Apparently a lot of people are visiting my blog for that little post I made about her, thanks for visiting! Hope you stick around) But the funniest thing is that the video's story almost has nothing to do with the song (sort of) and ends with a grim ending. Where the ending tries to be poignant and does a slow-mo, it comes off as trite. Now, there are rumors that JT is with Scarlett, if that is true, this is a rocky way to start out a relationship. Her playing a cheating and slightly suicidal girlfriend that meets her end. The whole thing comes out predictable. I still say his best video yet is "Cry Me a River."

Here is the link to the video on YouTube, I didn't embed it here because most times the video is pulled off and I get complaints when it isn't around anymore after five months or a year after I posted it.
