Don’t Miss PARTY DOWN On STARZ

Posted by: Ducky in Ducky Does TV, Party Down

If you’ve got Starz, then there is no reason for you to not watch their newest original series PARTY DOWN. Veronica Mars mastermind Rob Thomas directs, Mars’ Exec. Prod. Dan Etheridge writes and cutie patootie Paul Rudd produces the show so it can’t be that bad right?

The first episode is pretty damn funny. We’re introduced to the unfortunate cast of characters that make up the Party Down crew and their ridiculous and desperate personal lives.

Ken Marino (The State, Veronica Mars’ Vinnie Van Lowe) is the wound up so tight his ass might explode leader. Adam Scott (Party of Five, Tell Me You Love Me) is the returning vet after a failed attempt at showbiz. Lizzie Caplan (Cloverfield, The Class, True Blood) is the bad girl, always on the verge of being fired. Jane Lynch is the over-zealous lesbian that wants to put a party guest in her pocket. Ryan Hansen (Rockville,CA and Veronica Mars) is the dumb gullible aspiring actor that just wants to be party guests and Martin Starr (Bill Haverchuck from Freaks and Geeks) is the vindictive DJ.

It’s a darkly comic single camera show that thrives on inappropriate comments, situations and sight gags. In other words, just my style!

Plus, how can you fault a show that has Enrico Colantoni (Veronica Mars, Flashpoint) skinny dipping, full frontal and all?

Party Down premieres after Head Case (another hilarious show), Fridays at 10pm on Starz.

Quick Thoughts: LOST “Namaste”

Posted by: Ducky in Ducky Does TV, Lost

I know LOST was only gone for a week but damn it feels like forever since we’ve seen Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley and the rest of the gang. Obviously this sad feeling of abandonment means I’m way too obsessed with this show. Oh well…

Why does LOST have to have the most sensory overload plane crash sequences? Seriously, it’s enough to make me never want to fly again. Back in ‘93 when ALIVE was released, I thought I’d never witness another plane crash more terrifying but I was wrong. Oceanic 815 and Ajira 316 blow that cannibalistic mountain hike away. Frank Lapudis, glad to have you back in my life old buddy! Now let’s get everyone back in the same place and same time shall we?

  • I love how Sawyer started right back in with the nicknames! He called Hurley “Kong”, Jack the usual “Doc” but with Kate he simply called her by name… and she referred to him as “James” – very telling… of what, I have no idea.
  • Hands down the best line of the night belongs to Hurley after hearing that they’re stuck in 1977. “Ooooh, what?”
  • Watching Sawyer tell Juliet that they’re back was heartbreaking. I truly thought she was smarter than that but maybe she really did fall for Sawyer and never think the rest of the gang would ever return. Interesting.
  • Watching the survivors of Flight 316 get all testy with Frank shows that this group isn’t as willing as our old 815′ers to sit back and see what happens. That Caesar is going to be t-r-o-u-b-l-e!
  • So Ben told Sun that he went into the Jungle to find “their” island. Does that mean that the plane landed on the other Other’s island while Kate, Jack and Sawyer ended up on the main island? That’s kinda cool.
  • OMG! Horace and Amy are naming their baby son Ethan!!! Juliet does a double take almost. She’s softened in the 3 years with the Dharma Initiative because he bluffing skills need a little work. Get it together girl! Ethan… frak that’s awesome!
  • I love the new dynamic between Jack and Sawyer, the shift of trust and power is very very interesting. This show just gets deeper and deeper and these characters get more twisted and twisted.
  • Sun with and ore on the beach FTW!
  • Yes, Dr. Candle aka Peter Chang is Jack’s check-in guy. Jack’s got a little smirk and smile at seeing him in the flesh. I’m surprised that when Candle said a woman gave birth on the island, that he didn’t even bat an eyelash.
  • Anyone else have a feeling that Jimmy Barrett is going to be trouble for Kate, Jack and Hurley. He was quick to call Kate out for not being on the sub manifest. Juliet to the rescue! Later though when Jack asks for James LaFluer, Phil tells Jack that Jim hates being called that. Ugh. Kill Phil now!
  • Watching Jin and Sawyer pretend to not know Sayid is humorous and thank heavens these people are used to lying all the time.
  • Okay, what the hell? Sun and Lapidus make it to the island, find the processing center which is now all rundown and abandoned AND are greeted by Christian Shephard who claims to know where Jin is. Christian shows Sun a group photo of new recruits from 1977 and tells her that she has a long journey ahead of her. Wha-wha-what? *Update: did you see the door open, the wind blow and the smoke come through then behind Sun is a blurry blonde head? Could that have been Claire?
  • Can I just tell you how amazing it is that they’ve woven so much history and so much pain into these characters that a simple hug at the door, a look aside or a wave can have to much meaning? Ack, it’s killing me!!!
  • Oh and hey Sayid… I don’t know if I’d eat that sandwhich from little Ben Linus. *ding ding ding – score!*

    • I pray that people didn’t give up on LOST this season. I know its been all over the place with space and time but look how masterfully they’ve pulled it off! Patience is the key this season and it’s paying off in ways I could never have expected. Hot damn is LOST the best show on television.
