The other night, while The Eponymous Neaner and I were watching an episode of The Event– Okay, okay. To be honest, I was settling in to watch an episode of The Event. She was bundled into a sea of blankets and pillows on the futon next to me, preparing to drift off into Super Happy Slumber Land. After the opening teaser and credits rolled by, though, she glanced at the screen and noticed something. Well, two things, actually.

First, was Željko Ivanek, the go-to actor of late for TV shows that want a vaguely evil, yet bureaucratically so, governmental figure. She remembered seeing him on the first season of 24. We’ve seen him in a number of other shows of late (Heroes, Lost, House, etc.), but his work in 24 left an impression. I was very impressed.

And then she pointed at the credits going by. “Hey, aren’t those in the same font as 24?”

I love this woman so much.

First off (ahem), I VOW THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS FOR THE END OF LOST HERE. A friend of mine just started watching the last season, so I don’t want to kill his momentum.

There have been arguments about whether or not it was a good finale. Whether enough questions were answered. Whether the right questions were answered.

I didn’t care about that.

What kept me coming back to Lost was the characters, and watching them attempt to relate to each other and come to terms with themselves. Every character was alone and flawed in some way, and my fascination was in watching them work their ways out of that. It was, ultimately, a story about the fundamental nature of humanity and how we must   attempt to find connection with each other, and the emotions involved in doing such a thing.

In my opinion, the finale succeeded brilliantly in bringing that story to a close.

Your mileage may vary.

P.S. Oh, and speaking of absolutely nothing related to that, come back Thursday for an ASTOUNDING ANNOUNCEMENT OF AWESOMENESS! Exclamation point!

Finally got it up. Sorry for the delay. Photoshop was refusing to do…well, much of anything, really. That kinda crimps my style of, y’know, completely doing the strip in Photoshop.

In related news, Time Machine for Mac OS X is teh awesome!

At last! Again, my most sincere apologies to all for the long drought between comics, here. Between massive bouts of sicknesses and technological mishaps, it’s been a long month. And not in a good way, I assure you. Anyway, here’s to hoping that I can get back on schedule. Wish me luck, and have a happy 2009!

…and don’t even get her started about Battlestar Galactica returning from hiatus on the 16th…

Some minor cosmetic tweaks this week. Still trying to figure out what all I wanna do with a total redesign, but I know that there are some things I can do in the meantime. If you have any suggestions for the big’un, let me know at the link below!
