Tonight will be the beginning of the end for the GREATEST show on television – LOST! It is a bittersweet feeling to know that we will finally get closure and answers to this amazing story. At the same time I really don’t want it to end. If you don’t watch it then I highly recommend renting or even buying season 1, carving out about 6 hours on a Friday night, and by Sunday you’ll be ready for season 2 and beyond. It’s that good!
I am super excited about the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie coming out May 1, 2009. The preview looks stinkin’ cool! I am also excited that Gambit will be played by Taylor Kitsch from Friday Night Lights. Check out the trailer below and if you are interested I found a good blog site about the movie – http://wolverine-trailer.blogspot.com/
For my birthday, I received the first season of Quantum Leap from a friend. As a kid I always loved watching Quantum Leap because you would never know whose body Sam Beckett would leap into next. Sam is a scientist who, through a botched experiment, leaps into the the bodies of different people all throughout history. His purpose in every leap is to find out what has gone wrong and set it right. He believes that God is in control of his leaps, sending him to different times and places to fix bad situations. Each shows starts off with Sam explaining how it all began:
“It all started when a time travel experiment I was conducting went… “a little caca”. In the blink of a cosmic clock, I went from quantum physicist to Air force test-pilot. Which could have been fun… if I knew how to fly. Fortunately, I had help – an observer from the project named Al. Unfortunately Al’s a hologram, so all he can lend is moral support. Anyway, here I am, bouncing around in time, putting things right that once went wrong, a sort of time traveling Lone Ranger, with Al as my Tonto. And I don’t even need a mask…”
I like the show because Sam travels in throughout history, having to creatively solve problems so he can leap. Sam is not alone though. He does have a little help from Al, his holographic friend.
Sam leaps as a pilot, a college professor, a doctor, a hitman, a 15 year old high schooler, and even a woman 
. But Sam’s real hope is that his next leap will be the leap back home.
