A year ago, starting on May 1 and continuing into May 2, Nashville was assaulted with unrelenting rain. The result was too many inches of water in too little time. The rivers swelled, unable to hold it, and spilled over. Land,…

The Lost Finale sparked as much talk as its sensational first season series opener. Heaven knows Lost sparked more questions than just about any other show in the history of TV ever has. That’s why the finale was so controversial.…
