The juicer it gets

No longer is it enough for ABC to drag out Lost ever longer by skipping weeks with no warning. And it's obviously not enough to spend the first five minutes of the show with "previously on Lost...", but now they're offering up "special episodes" which turn out to be nothing more than a load of old clips stuck together with a creepy voice-over and a spooky name like "Revelation" or "Reckoning".

And it's not just Lost. They did the same on Desperate Housewives this week too. Is this national memory-loss week or something? Do they really think the American public are forgetful enough to be interested in a program summarising the current plot of a show that really isn't all that complicated in the first place? No, they don't. They're just money-grabbing bastards.

While you're far away, Claire, perhaps the gap in our lives could be filled by a downloadable version of you called RealClaire.
