It sounds like one of those old jokes: A vampire, a werewolf and a ghost move into a house...

But it's no joke, it's the premise of "Being Human" (Syfy, 9 tonight), a not original, but still likable series about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost living together.

Based on a British series (that's supposed to pop up on BBC America later this year, making for awkward comparisons), "Being Human" is set in Boston, where the pasty vampire Aiden (Sam Witwer) and werewolf Josh (Sam Huntington) work at a hospital and struggle to fight their monstrous impulses. For Aiden, that makes drinking blood from the blood bank; for Josh, it means going deep into the woods when the full moon rises so, perhaps, only a random deer will get savaged.

There is a candidate. And as much as I want to scream and rail, now knowing who it is, I cannot. We knew it all along.

Sunday cannot come soon enough. I am not sure how much more of this my TV heart can take.

SPOILER ALERT

Two weeks before the series finale, the producers of Lost served us the episodic TV equivalent of sorbet.

I want to say it's OK by me that Lindelcuse gave us yet another backstory episode, this one explaining the genesis of the relationship between Jacob and The Dude in Black Who Isn't Johnny Cash.

It's not OK by me.

SPOILERS AHEAD.

  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

There are a gazillion unanswered questions going into the final season of "Lost" on ABC. I said three seasons ago I'd be happy if Lindelcuse explained 80 percent of it by the end of the series.

Still, let's focus on Season 6. (STOP HERE if you're planning to catch up on all five seasons sometime in the future.)

To countdown to the last season premiere ever (waah!) of "Lost" ... six story lines I think should be addressed by the series finale.

No. 1: Who's coming?
