Community Blabber: What Got You Talking This Week

When it comes to the entertainment stuff you love and hate, you're never afraid to sound off.

When it comes to the entertainment stuff you love and hate, you're never afraid to sound off. This week I asked you about new show Pretty Little Liars, which is already causing a heated debate regarding its portrayal of teen sex. I pulled a few of my favorite comments, so check them out — and then continue reading for the other big, dividing discussions of the week!

    Is Pretty Little Liars too scandalous?

    • "I'm kinda creeped out by the relationships between the cop + Hanna's mom, Aria + Ezra, and Spencer + Wren . . . first pairing is just gross because the cop is really pervy. Ezra & Wren are hott but seriously — making out with 16 yo girls?? Am I just getting old or does the age difference make it just not right?" — flowergirl
    • "I'm no prude, but this show was waaaay trashy. Everything was about sex in the creepiest way possible (from the parents to the students and teachers). These girls are supposed to be 16! Too bad, because I thought the show was fun otherwise." — ameliajc
    • "I don't know why everybody is so shocked at the scandalousness of 16-year-olds. Gossip Girl (well not really anymore), 90210. . . high schoolers. I was pretty scandalous when I was 16 . . . in fact, it seems like 16-year-olds I meet now are even more scandalous than what they show in these TV shows." — kea718

Lost Logic: Reader Thoughts and Theories on the Finale!

Sniff, sniff. I'm going to miss our regular Lost brainstorming sessions, aren't you?

Sniff, sniff. I'm going to miss our regular Lost brainstorming sessions, aren't you?

When the Lost finale had me a bit frustrated, several of you came to the rescue with smart observations about the episode — and I've got to admit that many of your theories make a ton of sense. While we may never know for sure which suppositions are right (and which may be a little off), I now feel like I have a better grasp on what went down. Just look at these reader-submitted comments. Oh, and thanks for helping me see the light (get it?).

  • "My take is that the sideways did not actually happen, but was more of the 'waiting room' for all of them to come together and move on to the after life. Each person was protected by Jacob until that had found the meaning or purpose to their life that they needed to 'Move on and Let Go'." — TJ V
  • "After the end scene where Jack's eyes closed, it flashed back to the beach and showed airplane wreckage. What does everyone make of that? It didn't look like it was supposed to be the original flight, because there wasn't as much wreckage and no people around. One thing I thought of is that it could be the flight that Kate and everyone left on — maybe it crashed and that's when they all died." — chloe bella

Community Blabber: TV Topics That Got You Talking

This week we took our first step towards May finale season, which means TV is juicier than ever.

This week we took our first step towards May finale season, which means TV is juicier than ever. There were quite a few debates this week, and you all feel pretty passionate about important questions like whether Serena is more annoying than Blair, or who Lexie should date on Grey's Anatomy. Check out some of this week's hot topics in TV, and what the community was saying about them!

The Vampire Diaries: did Damon know that Elena was actually Katherine?

  • "I almost feel like Damon knew it was Katherine all along and that kiss at the end was just a test to see because after when he looks back at her while touching his lips you can see the disbelief all over his face. I can't wait for next season!" — Glamgal
  • "I agree with Glamgal that Damon had to have known that wasn't Elena... I mean, vampires are supposed to have super senses, couldn't he tell that it wasn't a human he was kissing!? I'm guessing Damon didn't really leave afterall and he's hiding out waiting for Elena so he can protect her from the wrath that is Katherine." — postmodernsleaze
  • "Glamgal — I think you're right! When Damon leaned in to give a peck on the cheek, there was already uncertainty in his eyes. Like someone else said, it must've been familiar to him, and I'm sure Damon knows." — popculture whore

Lost Logic: Reader Thoughts and Theories

With only one episode left before the finale, this week's Lost really brought out the emotion.

With only one episode left before the finale, this week's Lost really brought out the emotion. Whether you loved it or hated it, the story of Jacob and the MIB left much to be debated and dissected. Here are a few theories so be sure to chime in with any new revelations of your own — and when you're done, be sure to head over to my Lost bracket to vote for the best character of all time!

  • Entering the spring caused the light inside MIB (there's some in every person, according to Mother) to go out. When the light goes out inside a person, that person turns into a disembodied cloud of smoke, thus the Smoke Monster. If the monster escapes to the outside world, everyone's light will go out, and all people will turn into Smoke Monsters (or something like that). This is why stopping MIB is so important now. This would also shed some light on why Desmond is so important. It should be pretty obvious that the glowing light and the pockets of electromagnetic energy are one in the same. Desmond may be the only person who can enter the spring of light without becoming a Smoke Monster. — mstrauss
  • Why does the light (I thought of it as a fountain of youth, Rose no cancer, Locke healed, Richard doesn't age, etc) turn people into smoke monsters? — Anonymous
  • I think Jacob died at some point too, b/c only certain people can see him, same as with MIB. — 356UIK

Buzz Community Reviews: Iron Man 2

And we're off: In its opening weekend, Iron Man 2 made history with its box office success, and like that, Summer blockbuster season has begun (play my game to get in the spirit)!

And we're off: In its opening weekend, Iron Man 2 made history with its box office success, and like that, Summer blockbuster season has begun (play my game to get in the spirit)! The Robert Downey Jr.-led sequel also won over audiences with flair, and you guys sounded off in the comments of my regular and video reviews about how much you enjoyed the film. Check them out!

  • "I adored this movie! Even if there was quite a bit going on, like you said RDJ is just so charming. Moreover, this is what a summer blockbuster ought to be like: funny, exciting and full of eye candy!" — sweetumms33
  • "Just watched it IMAX today. RDJ was magnificent as usual. I agree that it was a solid sequel. And I remembered to stay after the credits this time." — reesiecup
  • "Saw this on opening day for my birthday and it was AMAZING!!! I thought it was as good as the first one, and my friend thought it was better. A must see for everyone who liked the first one." — CJade98

Lost Logic: Reader Thoughts and Theories

I'm still not over the loss of our beloved Sun, Jin, and Sayid, but this week's episode of Lost also opens up a whole new can of worms regarding Flocke's motives, Jack's candidacy and beyond.

I'm still not over the loss of our beloved Sun, Jin, and Sayid, but this week's episode of Lost also opens up a whole new can of worms regarding Flocke's motives, Jack's candidacy and beyond. Let's review some of your own insightful comments, and don't forget to vote for your favorite all-time character.

  • re: the mirrors, Sun also looked into the mirror for a while in a previous episode before she answered the door in the hotel room, as if she were recalling something. — kismekate
  • I'm wondering what happened to Richard, Ben, and Miles who were going to destroy the Ajira plane. — Anonymous
  • And what about the tables being turned regarding Jack and Sawyer? Juliet died because Jack didn't listen to Sawyer and now Jin, Sun and Sayid (and Lapidus?) are dead because Sawyer didn't listen to Jack! — clara91
  • I think the show is definitely setting us up to believe that Jack is the new Jacob, Sawyer is the new MiB, and Hurley might be the new Richard? There are so many parallels now...Sawyer is angry at Jack for killing Juliet and he wants to kill him, just as the MiB wanted to kill Jacob...and Hurley, like Richard, lost the love of his life. — intensebandgeek

Normally I direct you guys back to my recaps with my Buzz Blabber guide, but this week, you guys had so much to say about this week's TV episodes that I'm letting you do the talking.

Normally I direct you guys back to my recaps with my Buzz Blabber guide, but this week, you guys had so much to say about this week's TV episodes that I'm letting you do the talking. Check out which shows spawned the most chatter!

Glee: Great Episode, or Total Snooze?

  • "I thought the episode was a complete snooze fest from the after school special story lines to the fact that every single song they sang had the same slow tempo." — kimmieb124
  • "I think you may be being a tiny bit too hard. While I do feel the show went from hilarious to depressing so quickly (last weeks ep to this weeks ep), I like that they're touching on serious issues and not constantly mocking the "frivolous" lives of high schoolers." — kismekate

Buzz Battle, Sex and the City 2 Edition: Big vs. Aidan

For this edition of Buzz Battle, the fight over who Carrie Bradshaw belongs with isn't a heated debate between editors; it's among BuzzSugar readers.

For this edition of Buzz Battle, the fight over who Carrie Bradshaw belongs with isn't a heated debate between editors; it's among BuzzSugar readers. The results on this definitive Aidan vs. Big poll are split at almost exactly 50/50, and the division is clear in the comments. Check out the arguments for Mr. Big and those in favor of Aidan for Carrie's love in Sex and the City 2 and beyond!

  • User Khameel: "I love Aidan! Some people say that he's boring or too vanilla, but he's so sweet and kind and really loved her. He even forgave her after she cheated with Big! I'm not saying Big doesn't love her, but he could never commit to her (but had no problem marrying Natasha). Aidan had one of the sweetest proposals I've ever seen, and he even changed that tacky pear shaped ring into one that was more suitable for her. I could go on for days about why I love Aidan!"
  • User redchick152's counterpoint: "Definitely Big. It's always been Big. Carrie and Aidan just didn't have the crazy, passionate, irrational chemistry that she and Big have together."

Lost Logic: Reader Thoughts and Theories

We did get a teeny bit of resolution on this week's Lost — finally, a Jin and Sun reunion!

We did get a teeny bit of resolution on this week's Lost — finally, a Jin and Sun reunion! — but there are still loads of unanswered questions. Per usual, you guys were quick to present hypotheses of your own, so I've culminated a few favorites. Check them out!

  • Why do they keep saying "you let him talk to you" or "once he speaks it will be too late" - I am wondering does that mean that MIB and even Jacob have crazy powers of persuasion or is it like a magical thing, literally, if they speak to you, you are under their spell - but it didn't work on Sawyer or Kate or Sun (neither the persuasion or the magical persuasion if it that). — zeze
  • I think that Sayid absolutely did not shoot Desmond. And I actually think that maybe Sayid has only been in 'zombie' mood because he shut off his feelings to get through until he is reunited with the woman he loves. (Why won't he just say Nadia? Could it be Shannon instead?) — myfairlady93

Why Life Unexpected Should Be Renewed: Buzz Fans Speak

The CW scored with midseason family drama Life Unexpected, and Buzz readers in particular have championed the show throughout its run.

The CW scored with midseason family drama Life Unexpected, and Buzz readers in particular have championed the show throughout its run. Now that the season finale has aired, I asked you to tell me why you thought Life Unexpected deserved a second season, and boy, did you guys have a lot to say! Check out some great arguments from Buzz readers:

  • "LUX inspires us to be real and honest and accept life. I was especially moved by episode 1.12; this show reminds us that life isn't glamorous sometimes, that it can be hard and hurtful, but that the unexpected goodness makes it all worthwhile. I personally find that repeated concept to be a message of great merit and therefore deserving of an hour of my time." — fineapple13
  • "Life Unexpected is the only show of its kind that airs right now. It's fresh, funny and genuinely awesome. The cast is very talented and it's obvious that they get on well. This show is really different for the other teenage shows, like Gossip Girl or 90210 with rich kids getting in trouble, it explores another dimension. It's different, it's great, it's beautiful and it's deserves a second season for us to continue watching Lux, Cate and Baze grow up and make real stupid and funny mistakes." — ohmaryg
  • "Because this show is great on different levels and because I want to see Kate and Baze together." — lilibooh
