Last Tuesday night (sorry! still catching up on work), Glee aired its much-vaunted Madonna episode. (If you haven’t yet seen the highly promoted Sue Sylvester “Vogue” video, above, you probably don’t want to, but here it is anyway.) I told you what I thought in my midseason-premiere walkup post …

“201,” the conclusion to South Park‘s two-part 200th-episode celebration, aired last night, and it was an improvement on an already very entertaining first half. Or at least the parts we were able to see and hear were.

John Cloud has already done an excellent job recapping last night’s Lost, “The Last Recruit,” and I don’t have much to add on the overall architecture of this moving-pieces-into-place episode. But because this is Lost, there are four episodes left, and I can’t shut myself up, I can’t resist …

SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t yet seen Tuesday night’s episode of Lost, “The Last Recruit,” then head over to the nearest Dharma station and watch it before reading this post.
Poniewozik has been drugged and stashed away in a padlocked room on the sub. So I’m your guest blogger for tonight’s frenetic episode…

In James Poniewozik’s temporary absence, I’ve been asked to write tonight’s Idol Watch. There’s just one problem: somehow, even after eight and a half seasons, I’ve never seen a single episode of the nation’s most popular singing competition. Ever. I don’t watch reality TV and I’m terrified of Ryan Seacrest, the magical …

SPOILER ALERT: Actually, I couldn’t spoil much about this week’s Lost, “The Last Recruit,” for you if I wanted to; I haven’t seen it yet and if my schedule holds, I probably won’t until sometime Wednesday at the earliest. (I can only say that based on the advance ABC logline, “Alliances are forged and broken as the Locke and Jack camps …

Those of you watching HBO’s The Pacific have been following the story of John Basilone (Jon Seda), the Marine hero and Medal of Honor winner who was dispatched to tour the States and pitch war bonds to fund the troops. While I’m aware, I thought I’d show you this bit of archival …

If you’re reading this, it means that I’m traveling on assignment right now and didn’t get around to doing a writeup of the second episode of Treme. Instead, you can use this thread to discuss the episode yourselves. (Nutshell: I thought it came together more tightly than the long, impressionistic pilot; Lambreaux’s confrontation with …
“A man provides.”
It is the diabolical wording – brainwashing really – used by one drug kingpin in luring a supplier back into the fray, fishing for any weaknesses in Walt’s decision to leave the business. Walt …

I’m going to be away, and largely away from blog access, through Wednesday-ish. Keep checking Tuned In, though, as I’ll have a couple robo-posts set up, and Techland’s Steve Snyder has again volunteered to do some guest-posting as his schedule permits. Other than the temporary increase in quality, you’ll hardly notice a thing while I’m …

No time for a full review of last night’s Fringe, “White Tulip,” but after having done some earlier grousing about how the show balances mythology and standalone episodes, this one did a much better job reconciling the two. I don’t need Fringe to become a Lost-like serial (whatever my personal preferences). But I found this approach, …
