Lost inside Information? Moi?
A few commentators have sent up a red flag in the loyalty region of my brain, so I want to clarify one thing right now:
No inside information is EVER published on TheTailsection unless I am specifically asked to do so, and unfortunately that has not happened yet. I got pinched by a few of my contemporaries in the pro media side of the world for dropping a Carlton quote. So I think it’s time to put that in perspective.
By day, I am mild mannered entertainment reporter Jon Lachonis of BuddyTV.com. At night, I don my Dharma issue jumpsuit, and descend the rusty, decrepit ladder into the abandoned Dharma facility I found in my back yard, to tap messages to my fellow lost fans around the globe.
There are lines I don’t cross, and one is definitely abusing the press credentials of BuddyTV to polish up this mildewed old berg. The Apple II is just fine for blog posting, and as long as the needle holds out on my turn-table, I’m happy just being mr. fanboy while I’m in this subterranean wonderland.
The dropping of the Carlton quote was unfortunate, in that it would have been better for me to cite myself since the quote was made for the purpose of clarifying an article written during my day job, and not made to pass on to the readers of TheTailsection.
So to be clear, spoiler posts here are not derived from, clarified by, or sanctioned in any way by the press contact afforded me as a BuddyTV reporter. I leave that hat at the door.
I, for one, have no idea what you’re talking about but I like the way it sounded.
keep up your good work. please. lol

Is this in reference to the Cuse comment about 1080p for Season 3 DVDs?

where’s your season 4 predictions? I think it was about that 1080p thing. I, for one, don’t care if you use stuff that you got from your buddytv gig, they need better editors there anyway. It seems like every article I read, other than the ones you write, has some sort of glaring grammatical or factual error. Its very annoying. I mean, hire me as a flipping editor if they’re that desperate. It would take all of 5 minutes to email an article to someone who actually knows how to write, have them look it over, and then email it back or post it with corrections.
(please don’t make me editor, I couldn’t handle the pressure.)

It’s actually, ‘It’s very annoying,’ as in, ‘it is’
