The week ahead:

"Lost" is going to have to lift its game and have at least a reference
to the mysterious creature more than every six or so episodes if it is
going to remain being mentioned here. Does anyone else think that
there should be a law against showing and mentioning stuff in previews
that doesn't actually occur for two, three or more episodes ahead of
the preview?  Yes we are talking about "Lost" here.

A new six part British show "Afterlife" starts on Tuesday night on Channel 9.

Channel 7 should be congratulated for (finally) scheduling the
Stargate SG-1 episode "Prometheus Unbound" which was pulled from the
schedule because the last shown season of Stargate SG-1 should have
been shown concurrently with Stargate Atlantis.  Hopefully next week
we will be back to Startgate Atlantis.
