My weekend was very relaxing and included some great tv and movies that I had to share. Before I begin, I must qualify by explaining I am a complete geek. My weekend entertainment included two greats, Joss Whedon and JJ Abrams.
I began by watching the 2nd to last episode of Lost for this season. It was phenomonal. If you are not a Lost fan, all I can say is you are missing out on great tv. Catch up so you can watch the final season next year. I'm upset I'll be missing the final episode this week, but it is the first thing on my list when I return from the conference.
This was followed by watching Dollhouse. I beg and plead with Fox executives to please keep this show on the air. Please don't throw it away like you did Firefly (another fantastic Whedon production). If you enjoy actors from the Whedon verse, you'll see them pop up on this great show. I won't deny the first few episodes annoyed me, but there were hints. My hubby came out of the other room because I was so vocal in my reactions to the season finale. Sorry, I didn't see that twist coming. Freak'n good tv!
We ended our weekend with Star Trek. Everything you love about Lost: heroic death scenes, crescendo music (Abrams likes using orchestras), "easter eggs" for die hard fans, humorous moments, character development, great storytelling, revealing twists. I could go on. I think Abrams did a fantastic job with this movie, which features two great actors, Zachary Quinto (Heroes) and Karl Urban (LOTR). It is one of the better movies I've seen in a long time.
Boy, if that doesn't reveal what a geek I can be. Take a look at these shows and movies. Comment on what you thought.

I thought STAR TREK was really good, too. The casting was wonderful. However, the purist in me mourns the loss of the original timeline. Leaves me to wonder what the back story of the Enterprise crew really was before Nero screwed it all up. Abrams clearly likes time paradoxes though. I'll have to see it again to catch more easter eggs. I didn't see the tribble (supposed to be one of the scenes), but I caught on that the dog Scotty sent into nowhere was Archer's dog, Porthos.
LOVED STAR TREK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
