Homecoming

Show #15 was a second show about our favorite recovering heroin addict, Charlie. In the off island flashback he was in full user mode and it wasn’t pretty, but that story is used to set up the reason for what he does on island. When the survivors plot to capture the “other”, Ethan, who had kidnapped Claire, Charlie goes postal and fills Ethan’s chest full of hot lead.

I’m thinking we are going to be 0 for 2 in pre-House Hugh Laurie shows. Earlier this year we tried one of his forays into TV, a sketch comedy show called A Bit of Fry and Laurie and couldn’t get past 15 minutes of it. The other day we received a disc of Fortysomething a newer (2003) situation comedy. He plays a doctor who is nothing like the House character, he is married with three grown sons, seems like he is downtrodden and befuddled (and there is this sort of mind reading thing where he occasionally hears what people are thinking that is out in left field.) There are two more episodes on the disc and we will watch at least one more of them…

I’m not sure what is stupider, the Tampa Bay Rays and mohawk haircuts (both up and down) or the fact that the only place in baseball that fans still do the Wave is Fenway Park in Boston.
