This week, I was livid about sourpuss Lisa making her way into the final round on Top Chef and then having to nerve to pounce down Richard and Stephanie's throats when they weren't pleased enough for her.

Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation. The highlight of my week? The jaw-dropping and brilliant season ender of Lost (even if my thoughts about who was in that coffin didn't exactly pan out). The low point?

This week, I was all about the network upfronts, from ABC and CBS to FOX and the CW , offering my thoughts on the scheduling announcements for this fall and breaking down each network's primetime lineup. I all stayed up late one night pondering just who the Final Cylon is on Battlestar Galactica and offered up my theory on who the last sleeper agent might be and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the fourth season finale to NBC's The Office , especially given this lackluster past season. Rabbit feet, cursed numbers, and rescue?

This week, I was once again obsessed with Lost , but paused from my island-induced stupor to remember why I love Battlestar Galactica (offering another season of religious, political, moral, and emotional conflict amid amazing special effects and a kick-ass plot), and ponder whether Gossip Girl was burning through too much story too quickly . I also celebrated the far-too-delayed elimination of Dominique on America's Next Top Model AND that a certain cheftestant on Top Chef , and offered a rundown of what series the networks might be announcing next week at the Upfronts. Oh, and I am still saddened that 30 Rock 's second season is already over, especially when faced with a funny if slightly disappointing season ender . Elsewhere in the sophisticated TV-obsessed sect
