Lucasfilm released a sneak peek today of Star Wars Clone Wars CGI animated series. It looks great , and I can’t wait for its official release. There is another CGI animated series trailer that also hit the Star Wars scene this week, Tales of the New Republic. The animation in these too series look similar, but Tales is not officially done by Lucasfilm, its a fan film.

I would love to see Tales actually come to fruition, but that might not be likely. But Clone Wars looks great and hopefully we don’t have to wait long for its release.

You can check out Clone Wars here and you can check out Tales of the New Republic here.

In today’s time consuming country many Americans are finding it harder and harder to sit in front of the TV at a designated time. So the DVR (TiVo) comes into play to help many Americans time-shift their TV and catch their favorite shows when they want.

This causes a problem though. It becomes harder to judge the rating of a show due to these devices. Nielsen is the rating system that we use in the U.S.. They have developed away to monitor these devices, but not thoroughly successful. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia, “In 2005, Nielsen began measuring the usage of digital video recordings (TiVo, for example) and initial results indicate that time-shifted viewing will have a significant impact on television ratings. The networks are not yet figuring these new results into their ad rates at the resistance of advertisers.” Because of this many shows that have huge DVR fan bases such as Jericho for example are being cancelled, but that’s not due to the lack of viewers.

Well tonight’s season finale of Lost was a doozie. Instead of the typical flashbacks, we had a flash-forward. Now as far as anyone cares, I called it.

It had to do with Jacks beard at first. Something about the beard made me think it was the the future. But what put the thought to rest was the phone Jack was using. It was a MOTOKRZR, its a new phone. All other flashbacks in lost had older cellphones. With that said I expected it to be revealed at the end, but I did not expect Jack to want to go back to the island.

Now the next issue is Who’s in the Coffin? Some say its Locke because he has no family and no friends. And Jack new he was right. Some say its Juliet based on Jack’s and Kate’s distinct reactions to the news. Others say it is either Michael or Walt, based on the funeral home’s surrounding area, black neighborhood black priest. Or could it be Ben, Kate as far as I know has only showed Ben extreme hate, and based on her reaction it might be.

This show is the most addicting and makes me the most angry out of anyone other show on television. We are given answers and kept in the dark at the same time. Leave your speculations in the comments, and any thoughts on my questions and the future of Lost are most gladly appreciated.
