Lost returned, with the best line being Sawyer’s homage to Star Wars: “Don’t be mad just because you got fooled by the old Wookie prisoner trick” as he knocks out one of the others guarding someone they were trying to rescue. (For anyone who might not be familiar, the old Wookie prisoner trick is used when you need to break into a jail to get someone else out. You need one person the guard might trust to bring in others appearing to be prisoners so all can get get close enough to knock out the unsuspecting guard.) Also of interest on this week’s Lost was seeing Juliet’s back story and learning that she, presumably along with the rest of the others, are also on the island against their will. Juliet, and presumably others, is also a relatively recent recruit.
George Takai, now playing Hiro’s father on Heroes, is still navigating NCC-1701. As Mr. Sulu it was the Enterprise. Now its the car in this homage to Star Trek:
This week’s remastered episode of Star Trek is The Doomesday Machine with over one hundred new digital effects.
Variety reports that Dino De Laurentiis is planning to do a remake of Barbarella. The original made a star of Jane Fonda. Will the remake create a new star and war protester?
Perhaps the new Barbarella will be Giada De Laurentiis?
