This week on the podcast, we look at the Fringe season 2 finale and reflect on the show’s second season in general. And on the topic of TV, we also reflect on the recent Lost series finale. We also take a look at two new games on the Xbox 360, Alan Wake from Remedy and RockStar Games’ Red Dead Redemption.
In preparation for the final season of Lost, I went back and gave a second (or third or fourth) viewing to the previous 5 seasons. And with the season 6 premiere just a few hours away, I have a number of items that I’m curious to see the show address over the final episodes. So I’ve made my own list (a common show theme) of a few of the mysteries that I would like to see concluded properly.
So here’s our final episode for 2009. In this episode we take a look back at the past year and discuss our favorite video games, movies, TV shows and other things that came across our path. We also save a special section to reflect on those other offerings that made us made us a little crazy; the worst of the past year. We also glance ahead to some things we’re looking forward to in 2010.

I just finished watching the Lost Season 5 finale so I decided to jump on quickly and provide some quick thoughts on the show. I also have a special guest. Melissa from the Televixen stopped by to share her thoughts as well.
Quick apology for the quality of the recording which seems to hiccup now and again.
There are plenty of spoilers as well so stay away if you haven’t watched it yet. But if you have seen it, feel free to leave your theories in the comments.
I really enjoyed Bionic Commando Rearmed from last year and the thoughts of the same game play now in a 3D environment have me all tingly inside. This trailer gives a good look at said game play and what the wide variety of environments will look like. I’m personally not sold on the dreadlocks but the game itself looks cool. If you head over to Game Trailers they have a video that takes a further in depth look at the game play.
Green Lantern: First Flight
There have been a slew of direct to DVD movies for both DC and Marvel properties as of late. And now its Green Lantern’s turn. This looks to be an origin story which would be good for people like me who haven’t read a Green Lantern book in years and barely remember all the history. This may be a good preface to the Green Lantern film that’s rumored to be in production.
Rampage
Known also as “Turkish Rambo”, this film was originally released back in 1986. And this week it finally sees its DVD release. There’s not much more for me to say, it kinda speaks for itself.
Interview with Michael Emerson
With a few spare hours and a willing audience, I’d gladly wax poetic on why Lost is the best TV show in the history of ever. And one of the reason’s for its success is the character of Benjamin Linus, who in my opinion is one of the more unique and captivating charters in TV or film. So when Michael Emerson, the actor behind Mr. Linus, stopped by Jimmy Fallon the other night, Jimmy had him do what only seemed natural for a guy who plays a creepy insane sociopath – read nursery rhymes.
