Early buzz: 'Mars' reunion, INXS, banjos and more
Good morning! Still thinking about last night's Lost? Our episode discussion is underway, and it already contains some great observations that I didn't catch when I saw the ep. Check it out when you get a chance.
Also, this morning I have to go tape a cable countdown special, so I'll be gone for a few hours. I'll resume blogging this afternoon.
