Episode Review: LOST:"Dr. Linus" (Season 6, Episode 7)

Tonight, Ben gets the spotlight.  Last week, someone predicted that Mr. Linus (or in this case Dr. Linus) would end his path of redemption in martyrdom.  Did Ben go to his final resting place in ignominy, as did Nikky and Paulo before him?  Or was he redeemed in the end of tonight's episode?

Well, for that, you'll need to either have watched tonight.... or read the convenient spoiler-filled recap below the jump

Make that leap of faith...

BREAKING NEWS: "Smallville" picks up season 10!

Variety is reporting that Smallville has been picked up for season ten.  Although technically the show was 'on the bubble' it is the timeslot's winner with the hard-to-reach 18-49 male demographic.  

Personally, I credit Zatanna.

So, it looks like I have a job for another year. 

 And maybe they'll finally let the poor guy fly.

EPISODE REVIEW: Smallville: "Conspiracy" (Season 9, Episode 14)

Tonight, a chilling tale of Alien Abduction.  Aliens aren't abducting the citizens of Metropolis, a Metropolitan is abducting aliens and cutting  them into itty bitty pieces.  

Clever concept, especially since the abductor is also a reanimated (mad) scientist...  but a clever concept does not necessarily mean a clever outing on a Friday night.

UPDATE: Andrew Koenig Missing, but Believed Alive

 Andrew Koenig, MissingUPDATE:  

According to RadarOnline , Andrew Koenig is believed alive by the Vancouver police.  They claim that there is 'electronic activity' that supports their theory, and that he may just be 'laying low'.  We at Republibot hope that this is the case and that he is reunited with his family soon.

 

Original Post:

Actor Andrew Koenig, 41, has been listed as missing by the Vancouver police.   He has not been seen since Valentine's day.  Police are asking for help in finding him.

Koenig's most famous role is probably that of "Boner" on the sitcom Family Ties, however he has a couple of strong ties to geek culture as well.  He is the son of genre actor Walter Koenig and he played the Joker in the fan-film favorite Batman:Dead End.

Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family during this trying time.
