Parenting Tips from “Lost” S1 E15, “Homecoming”

Parenting Roundabout ·

2024/10/15

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week's episode was rather violent, with a death toll of two on the island and some crime and vomiting in the flashbacks. But at least Claire's back (and conveniently has no memory of the past month).Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 16, "Outlaws." Tomorrow, it's season 4, episode 8 of Only Murders in the Building.

2024/10/10

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a lighthearted, yet not overly fluffy novel with a reality-TV hook. It's called Big in Sweden, and author Sally Franson really did compete on a TV show in Sweden. Mentioned: Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver.Terri's random recommendation is on hiatus for the moment as we return to the DWTS ballroom for two nights of ridiculous wigs and ridiculous scoring. However, we can say that the appropriate stars

On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. Terri felt personally attacked by this episode, as it flaunted the plot holes of her beloved season 1 right in her face. We also identified some from season 2 having to do with Charles's parents and much younger sister, played by Melissa McCarthy with the Long Island-O-Meter turned up to 11.Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E8 of Only Murders in the Building, “Lifeboat.” We'll be back

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week's episode gave us more of Michael and Walt's story, so now we know that while Michael isn't the greatest dad around, he did make a big sacrifice for his son. (Plus, we have another candidate for the Bad Dad Hall of Fame.)Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 15, "Homecoming." Tomorrow, it's season 4, episode 7 of Only Murders in the Building.

Now, we have dinosaurs doing the wordplay, in Triceratopposite and Stegothesaurus from author Bridget Heos. Also mentioned: Little Pea and its sequels, Little Hoot, and Little Oink. Catherine also has a bonus pick: Clio Greek Yogurt Bars..Terri's random recommendation is back this week, since Dancing with the Stars took a break. She suggests

On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. While this episode wasn't as novel and creative as season 1's "The Boy From 6B," it did offer a new take by relying a lot on found footage from hidden cameras. As parents who want to keep abreast of what our kids are up to, we can relate.Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E7 of Only Murders in the Building, “Valley of the Dolls.” We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week's episode was a Boone/Shannon flashback, where we found out more about their... unusual sibling relationship. And on the island, we're wondering where the urgency is on finding Claire, who's been missing for quite some time now.Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 14, "Special." Tomorrow, it's season 4, episode 6 of Only Murders in the Building.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is another nonfiction, memoir-ish pick called All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me by Patrick Bringley, which chronicles the author's ten-year stint as a guard at the museum. Mentioned: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, also set at the Met.Terri's random recommendation is on hiatus for the moment as we return to the DWTS ballroom, where Dwight and Daniella

On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. This season isn't hitting as well as past ones have, except when Detective Williams comes in to be the mom and lay down the law. We'd like more of that and less of Hollywood making fun of itself.Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E6 of Only Murders in the Building, “Blow-Up.” We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup (which will include a chat about the September 24 episode

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode's punny title is a sign that it's a pretty lightweight one, despite the presence of three dead and decomposing bodies. It's a Kate flashback episode, and she flashes a lot of her backside, too.Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 13, "Hearts and Minds." Tomorrow, it's season 4, episode 5 of Only Murders in the Building.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find grabbed her attention with its dramatic subtitle. It's a memoir by Megan Nix called Remedies for Sorrow: An Extraordinary Child, A Secret Kept from Pregnant Women, and a Mother's Pursuit of the Truth, which is a compelling mix of family tale and investigative journalism.Terri's random recommendation is on hiatus for the moment as we return to the Dancing with the Stars ballroom.

On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. This episode continued its focus on the Westie side of the building, but also gave us a look at Sazz's stuntman life. Mentioned: Stuntman movie The Fall Guy and its star Ryan Gosling in Barbie (at the Oscars and on SNL) and Crazy Stupid Love (warning, 13-year-old spoilers await at that link); the upcoming movie His Three Daughters.

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode has "daddy issues" right in the title, so you know it's going to be a doozy. And it was, with lots of flashbacks to Jack's Bad Dad and some pretty bad stuff happening on mystery island, too.Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 12, "Whatever the Case May Be."

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find caught her eye thanks to our recent watch of A Gentleman in Moscow. It's a children's book called The Apartment: A Century of Russian History by Alexandra Litvina, illustrated by Anna Desnitskaya and translated by Antonina W. Bouis. It covers six generations of a family and their life in the titular apartment.Terri's random recommendation is a new way to get your morning dose of pumpkin spice: Special K

On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. And while this week's episode was indeed set in The Building, it had a Hollywood flavor that we didn't love. We're hoping the three actors hightail it back to LA very soon. Mentioned: "Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?" (from OMITB season 3) gets an Emmy; the Perfect Strangers theme song on The Leftovers.Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E4 of Only Murders in the Building, “The
