The latest recap from our "Lost" blogger, Luci Chavez.

If there's a cure for this, I don't want it. And by "it" I mean my super-sized obsession with Desmond Hume episodes on Lost. What's not to love when I'm guaranteed to hear the lonely, achingly lovely cello that unhinges me every single time?

This one also featured — because, apparently, I have been a very good girl — my beloved Charlie, that silver fox Charles Widmore, and the lovely Penny.

In this case, love has got a lot to do with it. And by "it" I mean the convoluted mess we know as Lost mythology.  SPOILER ALERT! 

If you're a proud "early adapter" and lucky enough to get yourself an iPad today, the first thing you'll probably want to do is watch some TV on it. (Right?)

Here are your options.

ABC has already released a video player for the iPad. The app is free but the streaming full episodes are advertiser-supported. You just need a WiFi connection. You can also watch Disney shows with the Disney app, and sports content with the ESPN app (although the ESPN app so far isn't getting great reviews). ABC and ESPN are owned by Disney.

  Luci Chavez gives us her thoughts on this week's episode of "Lost."

Still choosing sides in this Jin & Sun special.

SPOILER ALERT

Island via night vision goggles. Black Locke (Terry O'Quinn) chitchats with Jin (Daniel Dae Kim), wanting to know if Jin knows about the cave with the names and his possible "candidacy." Jin does but wants to know, "Kwon? If it's me or Sun?" Black Locke doesn't know but knows he has to gather all the people with names still uncrossed off on the wall and take them to Hydra island. (Now if Black Locke gets them all to go, that means the island is no more. No one to protect? No powerful, spooky island.)

  The latest recap from Luci Chavez:

I was so hoping this episode about Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell, a.k.a. Papi Chulo) would be at least 75 percent as interesting as the title "Ab Aeterno."

That's Latin for "from the eternal." Loosely, according to Wikipedia, it means from some time in the past, something created outside of time. Love that, especially since Papi has been Jacob's consigliere for a long time. Papi defies time. And looks fabulous doing it.

Turns out I loved this episode. It was the best telenovela I've ever seen.

SPOILER ALERT

Each week, Brooke's mom used to give us the rundown on "Dancing With the Stars."

But she retired and now we're looking for mom's to help out. Or dad.

Or someone who wants to be a mom or dad.

Anyway, last night, my mom agreed to watch and comment.

Here's what she had to say about the premiere night:

The latest from our "Lost" junkie, Luci Chavez...

Emmy-winner Michael Emerson does an exceptional job playing the character of Ben Linus. To the extent, I possess an undying hatred of the character.

Or do I?

Characters continue to choose sides for the final showdown. Nine episodes left before the two-hour series finale.

SPOILER ALERT

There's nearly 20 hours of original Oscar programming on television today. And as much as we love the Academy Awards Show, we admit that's ridiculous.

Ridiculously awesome.

Here's a brief guide to the countdown specials, the Red Carpet beat downs, and the brutal (we hope) after party coverage.

The latest from our "Lost" junkie, Luci Chavez...

Sayid lost mano a mano.

I don't know what to do about it. It's one thing to be unemployed; quite another to see your TV hero get beat down. I hope Claire gets her real hair back soon. That wig is killing me.

Ten kinds of crazy in this episode. It took me two days to just let it sink in. Then I realized: OMG, I'm scurred!

SPOILER ALERT!

  Our "Lost" junkie Luci Chavez reports on this week's episode:

I'm late on this one. So should I warn you not to read it unless you've seen the episode?

Yeah. SPOILER ALERT.

Great episode including real information about how long the "candidates" have been "candidates for island presidency." I appreciate real information. But I appreciate Dr. Feelgood episodes even more.

Our "Lost" junkie Luci Chavez reports on last night's episode:

Oooooh! So that's what that's all about.

DO NOT READ ON IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE EPISODE. SERIOUSLY. I WON'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.

I'm going to argue that the BIG THING revealed in this episode is not so big.
