ABC has apparently announced that the final season of LOST will begin airing on February 2, 2010, with a one hour catch-up / clip show at 8pm, followed by a two-hour season premier at 9pm.
Okay, so it means we have more than two months to wait, but with only seventeen hours of NEW programming left, I think the wait will be okay.
Can I hear a collective YAAAA-HOOOO?!

Carlton is tweeting! There's a potential spoiler at this link, so beware:

Cool. SpoilerISH, yes. But since I trust that Carlton won't truly spoil me, I am happy to know it. I know of several other past cast members who've been to Hawaii. Knowing it doesn't bother me, since I can't possibly figure out how they factor in!
: ) P
Just stoppen in to say I'm still alive. And Lost starts back on my birthday. Happy birthday to me!!!
So excited to have an official date to look forward to! I wish it would air on a different night of the week since I always have to watch it on DVR and stay up late, but oh well, it's worth it!! I need to watch last season's finale a few more times to freshen up!!
Finally watched last week's FlashForward. I really do like this show, even with some of the outlandish things we are expect to accept.
What a FANTASTIC birthday present CM! I love the idea of not waiting until Wednesdays, or Thursdays, but I am not sure I like the idea of Tuesdays. Yes, it is hard to please me *G*.
: ) P
"Believe"
Interesting FF episode. It turns out that Bryce's vision in his Flash of Kieko is at a restaurant in Los Angeles. Kieko knows that, but I don't think it's clear whether Bryce knows that, yet. Nice little touch that they both get to L.A. on the same plane but that he never sees her. The timing of the Flashes continues to get me. If Kieko's flash includes all that time running, how long was Bryce sitting at the restaurant to not know what city (heck, country!) he's in?
Awesome! Great to have a date!
JiG - I actually thought it was a bit silly that they wouldn't have seen each other at all on that 12ish hour flight. You tend to do a lot of strolling around the plane on that flight and I have a feeling they would've noticed.
Btw, this is probably tmi, but I'm basically in the early stages of labor right now and trying to distract myself. Glad to know you guys are here!
Congrats flgr!!!! Hope everything goes smoothly and quickly!!

Good point; it's been a very long time since I crossed the Pacific. Iguess not seeing each other "adds dramatic tension" or something like that.
Btw, are "flgrl" and flgr;" the same handle?

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !
Flgrl, please let us know when you have all the details! I am so excited for you!
: ) P
Yes...congrats.
Okay. FF...is it me, or are we getting the WHH scenario going here. It seems to me that the FF 'always' happened and that Bryce and Keiko will meet in April BECAUSE OF the FF. Mark is creating the mosaic board in his FF BECAUSE OF the FF. Make sense?
Oh..and I am renewing my predicition that Mark is Dimitri's 'killer'.

Yes, Flgrl! My congrats as well.
WHH: I dunno. I know I've used the "great" Rafalski (the guy drowning in a urinal) as an example before, but if I were him I'd do anything, including embarrassing myself, to avoid standing in front of that enamel receptacle at 11:00 pm. We haven't seen Rafalski; I don't know if Stan was successful. It just occurred to me that Rafalski may have been one of the agents who resigned. ("If I don't work there, I can't drown there.")
Mark is Demitri's killer: Possibly, but is it intentional (maybe premeditated is better)? Is Mark sober when he pulls the trigger?
My own: Vreede's the mole. When he left the Field Office through the security door, he waited long enough for the "triple-star guys" to enter. Unless he was over-powered, these things don't happen by accident. One of the first things people who use security doors are taught is to wait until the door closes and audibly latches and (sometimes) to pull on the handle to test the door.
Bryce's Flash in episode 9 lasted about 1:20. One of the longest so far.
No FF or Fringe this week. *sob*
8) Jim
I guess I assumed that if Mark really does kill Dem, that that will be what drives him to drink again. Of course, even if he doesn't kill him, Dem's death alone could drive him to drink simply because it came true. The suspense is killing me :) Also, March 15 (that's the day he's supposed to be murdered, right?) is a Monday night...I guess I assumed it would be a Thursday, not sure if that's relevant or not :)

Good point. I was also looking at Mark and Aaron standing under the eave of Aaron's roof talking about needing a friend (but not a sponsor) and wondering if/how soon the two of them are going to go tie one on together. If they go to the bar where Kate works, what position would she take?
Meanwhile, scifiscoop.com says Lost on Feb 2 will be three hours, a clip show to bring us up to speed and a two-hour season premier. Do we start watching at 8:00 (for us easterners) or kick in the DVRs and join at about 8:30(?) so we can avoid the commercials? Decisions, decisions...
8) Jim

Well for me, that is a no-brainer. My TiVo only records regular television, so if I want to see LOST in all its high-def glory, I have to suffer through the invariably frequent, long and boring commercials!
As for V and FF shutting down, MAYBE it is because Sonya, Dominic and Elizabeth are required in HAWAII!? It could have been written into their contracts after all.
One can dream.
: ) P
Hi all! I'm back (and yes it was me with a typo) and all is well with me and our little girl. Thanks for the well wishes.
I've been excited to see the Lost promos starting to show up and glad that I will actually have something to watch on Tuesdays now. My husband is watching 'V' and not me so I can't comment on that one, but am enjoying FF and will miss it while it's gone. I still have a problem with the accents though. Maybe it's because I'm married to a Brit, but for some reason it really irritates me when they do American accents, even if they are relatively good. I finally realized who Mark has modeled his on - Clint Eastwood. Seriously, take a listen next time and see if you don't agree!

We may not have to worry much about missing FF. They were supposedly only taking a week off and spoilers are already up on the Web for Ep 11. I both love it and hate it when British actors mess up pronounciation. Mark said, "Jericho is headQUARTERED in..." That's "HEADquartered," Joe! Why don't they catch and fix these things in post-production? There's a chance Fiennes was somewhere in the area. I know, I'm nagging. On about my fifth time through "Band of Brothers," I began to notice more Americanism/Britishism curiosities, but I'll watch it again.
Clint? Hmm, maybe. Clint's characters seem so imperturbable ("Unforgiven," "Absolute Power")

I was wondering if Vreede sent the text message to Olivia. We've only seen a few seconds of his Flash. We know he's technologically savvy because he stripped the recording of Demetri's phone call down to the background noise.
Scenario: Vreede was lurking in the background while Mark was staring at the Mosaic wall. Then he left the office through the security door, admitting the shooters. (See my earlier insufferable ramble!) Finally, to sow disaffection between Mark and Olivia, he sends the text message using the same technology Nadia (do they know each other?) used to block her call trail to block his.
8) Jim
Sounds plausible Jim. All these folks 'making' things happen because of the FF...and some trying to stop things...hmmmm.
Tarzan join holiday festivus and say he have thankful year too.
Tarzan glad he finally learn difference between ''Jane'' and ''Jayne''. One is crazy eye woman - other is not. One is friend to Tarzan soul... other is hot for Tarzan loin cloth. Tarzan wish Tarzan remember which is witch in new year.
Tarzan make thankful for having yellow hair goddess name Juliet on island for so long. Tarzan make smart happy thought to bring her back alive after fall in deep dry well. Tarzan have same happy thought for Alex and Danielle too - make alive again.
Tarzan not sure what thanks to give for crazy year on island - big and small. See many good science persons do good and bad. See many ancient native islanders do same. Not ask start Tarzan thinking on crazy people come to island on shiny metal bird - Ajirans make all peoples crazy.
Tarzan make thanks for new airport on small island. Tarzan now have chance for visit not island places. Tarzan see one landing new airport... when does Tarzan see departure by shiny metal bird?
Tarzan not know turkey-bird, but Tarzan make thankful island meal with sea-bird. Tarzan roast bird well, but find writing message on sea-bird leg from tiny, fat from baby, woman named Claire. Tarzan somehow feel Tarzan do wrong by eat sea-bird... even if sea-bird gravy tastes goodest.
Tarzan sense that all island peoples get busy soonest. Tarzan make plan to hide and avoid the seeking. Hope that bug-eye man and bug-eye boy make good in their time. Tarzan feel bug-eye person key to fixing all that wrong with island - not island god name Jacob.

ABC says on their home page:
Top 5 LOST Episodes
1.The Incident, Part 1
2.The Variable
3.Theres No Place Like Home, Part 1
4.Exodus, Part 1
5.Pilot, Part 1
I'm not sure what "Top" means. Ratings? How could anyone not watch all of "The Incident?"
(I've set up a new email account; I'll look like my old self as soon as I get everything tweaked.)
8) Jim (in Georgia)
I have finally seen the first two episodes of V. So far, so good.
: ) P
Watched the third episode of V. Hints of LOST, hints of Fringe, hints of FlashForward. Yup, I'm liking it. It doesn't hurt that Bizzy Mitchell is a great actress and the priest (haven't got all the names yes) could be the next Richard Chamberlain (hot priest, untouchable LOL).
How's the baby, flgrl?
: ) P
The big island has three VERY unspoilery final season sneak peeks if anyone cares.
Episode 10 of FF has already aired in the UK and in Australia. I'm annoyed, really, really, really annoyed. It had something to do with the stations there not having to decide not to attempt a Thanksgiving broadcast. None of my whining is gonna do me any good, of course, but it feels good to get it off my chest. Someone dumped some spoilers onto the wiki page but I undid the post. You never know whether to believe spoilers, anyway.
PJ, I didn't sign your/the petition on Facebook about the spell checker. Maybe I should have, but I figured that if Facebook wanted to fix the problem, they would have the first time they heard about it. I just sat there and shook my head, not at the petition but at Facebook. C'est la vie.

NP, Jim. It isn't really a petition - more like a silly little group. Join, don't join - makes no difference to me. Facebook isn't going to change anything because of that group! I think it is just hilarious that an application that has millions of users hasn't adapted spell check to recognize its own name!
: ) P
Facebook has 350 million users!

I suddenly had this strange memory (from Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS) of WP's dictionary not recognizing "Wordperfect." At least that one we could fix locally.
Fringe and FF tomorrow night!
8) Jim
WP's dictionary not recognizing "Wordperfect."
Oh mylanta, yes! I remember that. Maybe that is why the facebook thing bugs me so much! LOL
Fringe and FF tomorrow night!
And GLEE tonight!
Still haven't caught up on Fringe, but I think we will have time over the winter hiatus. It is getting some good press - not sure if it is warranted, or a PR firm doing a GREAT job!
: ) P
I was surprised by a couple of things in Ep 10 of FF. I went into the episode knowing more than I wanted to know because some ill-advised people put some spoilers on the wiki and I was the one who got to do the cleanup.
I expected there to be a little wiggle room about who shoots Demetri. Something like, "Your weapon was found at the scene of the crime."
Is Simon a good guy?
I kinda smelled something when the "ambulance drivers" showed up. (Who ratted, btw?) I expected them to grab little Dylan so whoever would have a hostage to control Lloyd. Were they acutally supposed to grab both? What's all this angst on Lloyd's part over his wife's death; weren't they separated?
Dropping the other-world concept into the picture was kind of interesting. Did everyone see what would happen to themselves in some other version of the future? Maybe all the "blue-handers" are pulling the pin for nothing?
8) Jim
Jim...I'm with you on the 'wiggle' room. The women saw the case file, not the crime, and we've misdirection on this show (leg in the wrong casket).
I guess they don't need the boy if have Lloyd himself.
Alternate universes coming?
I told my wife that Dim's wife was at a beach funeral a few weeks ago but I don't think I ever brought it up here...I was thinking of connections to LOST and remembered the 'burial at sea'. Turned out to be a memorial, (white at funeral? How tacky?).
Okay so, there have black outs before (Simon's technology swipers), so what were they stealing this time that took 2:17?
Oh duh...the wiggle room is the fact that Mark ALREADY gave up his gun. Since I believe that things are happening BECAUSE of the FF, it may stand to reason the murderer gets the gun BECAUSE Mark gave it up, BECAUSE of his actions, because of the woman, etc, etc. Hmmm?
Hey guys!!!
Long time no see. Sorry.. as PJ can attest, my life has been a little more than crazy.
So, anyhow... up late, can't sleep, wanted to stop in and see how everyone was/is doing.
Welcome back to the Little Island, Julie. Yes, your life has been VERY busy. Got some time on your hands now, though, eh?
FF continues to keep me entranced and irritated all at once. I feel a bit like they're being too stingy with the hints. I don't want to be told exactly what has happened all at once, but I would like to be able to put things together a bit more cohesively. I hope that makes sense. Some stuff is really obvious (ambulance, Benford's gun) and I think they are red herrings so we don't notice other hints they are leaving. My fear is that if we more specifically I, am confused, as someone who loves this genre, then the general population are going to give up.
Finally watched the most recent (though not very recent) episode of V. Getting interesting for sure. I think the casting has been great. I called the pregnancy pretty much right away. Question is - do the V know that the baby is a cross breed?
Haven't got to Fringe yet. 8 episodes on the TiVo - enough to keep me busy until February 2nd.
Less than two months!
: ) P
I'm interested in the purpose of Nhadra's Mosaic Wall. I think it was put out there as her version of the investigation. Suppose it's really a kind of story board? A graphical representation of the OPLAN for what her group -- whatever that is -- is intending to release to manipulate the rest of the world.
8) Jim
So LOST University Classes start today. Looks like you really DO have to be able to watch on Blu-Ray with BD-Live feature to participate. Can I say that sucks the big one?
If any of you have the ability to participate, I would love for you to share what you learn as you go, please? Maybe if there are questions you don't know, you can ask for help here?
: ) P
Yep...you can say that sucks the big one.
Lost U is clearly a wast of time; If I had bought the BR disks, I think I still would had bailed. The Lost 101 video didn't have all the facts straight (can't think of what was wrong at the moment).
I can last two months. I can last two months. I can last...
Arrrgh!

awww kewl my lovelies! i knew you'd be talking about flashforward too. just a few mroe weeks to lost.
No FF to talk about, of course, but last night we got a Fringe worthy of the concept. WOW!

Oh Jim, you big teaser! I have 8 or 9 Fringes on my TiVo... guess I will have to catch up quickly. But in the meantime, feel free to talk about it because it won't bother me to be spoiled with Fringe.

LOST was SHUT OUT of the Golden Globes.
Fringe was SHUT OUT of the Golden Globes.
V and FlashForward were as well, but they might are probably too new to be considered.

Snubbed.
Awesome, DocH. I don't have DirecTV, but I am happy for any that do. Other than "LOST: A Journey in Time" I think I have seen the rest. Hopefully, ABC will air that one - maybe that is the 8pm hour on February 2?

Great article. The last full paragraph and the last five lines, PARTICULARLY the last line, have me worried. How many times have D&C outright LIED to us? I WANT to believe them but... Yikes!

Your grammar and punctuation were flawless. It was the humorous turn that was similar to Tarzan's.

I have Direct TV...thanks for the heads up Doc.
Stars won...then the 'hawks pounded the Wings too.
@ GQ...someone from the show finally said something about the whispers. That topic has been ignored in podcasts and interviews. Now that the final season is set it got some mention. I wonder which episode lets us know what they are.
Someone one the LP posted a comment that the statement "Only fools are enslaved by time and space." from the room 23 video can be anagrammed into "Bones of Nadlers may lay lost deep in cave."
I'm always suspicious of these things because the anagrammers have a tendency to include letters that aren't available or leave out the ones they don't need, but this one works!
However, that doesn't mean it's actually a real clue. It just means things are slow around here today!

Merry Christmas to all!
I am now the proud owner of season five on blue-ray. Do I go back to Lost U? I doubt it.
Hope all are well. We had wind and some rain in north Georgia, but no serious problems.
8) Jim
It rained pretty much all day here. My dreams of a White Christmas went out the window in the middle of the night Christmas Eve when the temperatures climbed 25 degrees! By mid day we were about 30° too warm for snow!
Great article, Doc, thanks for sharing. Favorite (or should I say favourite) line: Banging on about how the Americans make the best TV drama has become a cliche, but while it's true that American TV also creates acres of unspeakable dross that mercifully never cross the Atlantic, there's not really much of an argument about this.
"Unspeakable dross" I will have to remember that phrase.
: ) P
ABC has posted some teasing "previews" on its site, but it's all snippets from previous seasons except for an eye the opens. Jack's? Come to think of it, that might not be new, either.
Don't look for any hints there.

Tall buildings on a left a lush vegetation on the right. The wallpaper on ABC's Lost page is intriguing, although it doesn't really tell us all that much.
I watched "Jughead," which includes the scene in which Desmond finds out about Theresa, last night.
I've always felt that we've been left in the lurch about her. She appears to be unstuck in time, but without the cerebral hemorage. I can't help but feel that this is one of those things we'll never get an answer about, unless it's in Lost - the novel. Is it already being written? By whom (Stephen King?)?
I'm on the waiting list for King's Under the Dome. Carlton tweeted that they are two refs to Lost in the new book. If you haven't seen it, it's about three inches thick!
8) Jim
I have DVR'd the LOST 101 on Direct TV but haven't watched yet.
Southeastern MI and the 'thumb' got nuttin' but rain on xmas too. Got a couple of inches over the last few days. It helped with the small game hunting.
Jim, let us know if the King book is a goodie.
A LOST novel would be great, although I'm not a huge King fan (can't stand the profanity)...a LOST movie might be even better! We got nothing in TX for Christmas down where I'm at, just some rain and wind...typical TX Christmas I guess!! Happy (early) New Year!!
TXYorkFamily said...
profanity...
Yeah, I may have written this in another thread, but profanity and vulgarity (p&v) in dialog, within limits, don't bother me because they help define the character. p&v in narrative are simply pointless and sometimes make it hard to get through King's stuff. p&v by characters have been known to get out of hand; think about the uncensored version of "Good Will Hunting!"
8) Jim
Oh Doc, I am so sorry. I remember how dirty/angry/sad I felt after I saw the photos of Matthew and Evangeline in 70's garb by the DHARMA van.
I know it seems a bit over the top, but my heart is breaking for you right now.
P
Thanks for the warning, Doc. I haven't spent much time on that site (when I visited it seemed like a lot of innuendo), but I will definitely stay away.
BTW, I watched "The Little Prince" last evening. In the scene where time-shifting Sawyer is watching Kate help Claire give birth, I could swear that baby had no umbilical cord!

You have to answer some trivia questions and if you get them all right you're entered for a chance to win a sneak peek at the final season premier. The only thing that bugged me was it didn't tell you if you answered them all correctly. Oh well!
The only thing that bugged me was it didn't tell you if you answered them all correctly.
It told me. I got 5 out of 6, and then it let me try the "wrong" one again. The one I got wrong was the last question about who was the first to say, "Whatever happened, happened." I clicked on Eloise Hawking because I thought she said it her first episode with Desmond. They wanted Faraday as the answer.
Thanks for the link, though!

I guess the episode one title isn't "official," since it hasn't appeared in an ABC press release yet but Here goes.
The season six poster has been released:
http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/File:LostSeason6OfficialPoster.jpg
In case you don't want to know, I'll try to be vague. It features 26 people and one dog (and no, I won't tell you which dog! *grin*). One very centric character has his back to the viewer. Everyone's visible, but some are closer to the camera than others; I'd say that about fifteen of them are in the front row. Of those who are further away, two I'd call extemely far away. Some of the characters, including the two far away, are dead (were dead?) as of the end of season five.
So here's the Jim theory: Oceanic 815 is going to fly right past the Island and land at LAX, but all of the people we've come to know and love(?) are supposed to be on the Island. The universe is going to course correct and they're going to end up back there. I don't know how. Do the people who died get to die all over again?
Be patient, Jim . Be patient. BE PATIENT!
The bad news is that the sooner it gets here, the sooner it's over, forever...
8) Jim
The bad news is that the sooner it gets here, the sooner it's over, forever...
You are right, Jim. But, over doesn't have to mean gone. We are slowly watching S5. (Slowly only because we have to wait for the disks from Netflix - we have watched three hours in a night at least once). Even though I KNOW the end result, I am still fully and thoroughly entertained with how the season is unfolding! So, while NEW episodes will be over, to me LOST will not be done for a long time!
I would like to talk about the poster, although it isn't exactly easy to see! Since it is official, and not particularly telling, I am going to say that it is OKAY to talk about the poster. However, let's mark our discussions about the poster at the top of the post, so that any who wish to avoid reading about it, may.
Thanks for sharing the link, JiG.

When you get to the pager scroll down until yopu can see the link to "Full Resolution" and click. On my machine, the image comes up large size, then goes back to small size, but the mouse cursor looks like a circle with a plus sign. Click again the the image should fill your screen.
Amazon wants between $45 and $50 for a season of Lost on blueray. Since I got five for Christmas, that's only another $250 (gulp!) to go to get the whole thing.
8) Jim
***POSTER TALK***
I found that I can right click and enlarge the poster, so it is a fantastic resolution! Before I did that, though, I went online to see if I could find another version - there is one, where the characters are closer together and in a line. Can't find any good closeups of that though.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to where people are standing. Charlotte, Libby, Eko and Shannon are in the back, but Daniel, Boone, Michael, Ana-Lucia, Juliet and Charlie are in the front. Rose, Bernard and Vincent look like an after-thought. Desmond is there, but not Penny. No Christian. No Aaron, Charlie Hume, or Ji Yeon, but I suspect that is about casting.
Interesting.
: ) P
***POSTER TALK***
No Walt, either.
Here is a link to the other poster: http://www.docarzt.com/lost/the-lost-season-6-poster/
Differences: Miles, Charlotte, Shannon, Eko, Kate, Ben, Libby, Sun, Jin, Charlie, and Richard are wearing different clothes; Lapidus is in different clothes and a different spot; Desmond is in different clothes and facial hair; Sayid looks very different; Claire's hair is very different; as is Hurley's; Juliet is in a similar position, but the photos were taken at different times; Vincent is missing from one.
Exactly the same: Michael, Ana-Lucia, Locke (though his shirt is made to look different, his body is in the same position), Rose and Bernard's photo are the exact same.
I think the link that JiG gave us is to the most recent version. Some of the photos in the link I gave seem to be from earlier seasons.

There's much more room at DisneyWorld! It's a neat idea. I would love it, but I fear the Monster might be a little too intense for the younger set. I would like to see that engineered (imagineered?) in real time.
Alas, I think we're a niche group. I don't see Disney making the investment.
8( Jim
Is this for real? Because it was spinning around the web last April Fool's Day. Truth is, it is a great idea, even though the LOST crowd isn't quite as big as, say the Star Wars crowd. It could be a thrilling ride for everyone, but especially great for LOST fans. You don't have to have seen the show or movie that inspired a ride to enjoy it. Right?

Interesting promo for season six:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C56Lgl6DorM
There's an item on one of the LP blogs that suggests that the reason Ben and Charles Widmore can't kill each other is that they are both kings (as in chess) and a king can never move adjacent to another king, let alone one capture it.

Widmore changed the rules.
How true!
I think they've got a lot to fit into eighteen "hours."
There are some things I want to know that I don't think we're ever going to find out:
* Why do pregnant women die in their second trimester?
* Why do the Others bury at sea?
* How does the Island move?
* More that I can't think of right now...

IMO, that Chess "commercial" is fan made - it used at least one scene from Season 1. Perhaps I am wrong, but that's what I'm thinking.

Oops, didn't mean to suggest otherwise. It's good work, though.
There's another one where "in season 6" Jack wakes up fully dressed in a hotel room with a woman whose face we do not see who needs medical help. Trouble is, I don't think it's Jack, although it is Matthew Fox; he looks too young.

NP. When you said promo, I thought you meant it was a Bad Robot sanctioned promo - kind of like the weird ones they did with the cast all dressed up and sort of dancing around the wreckage!

There are a couple of spoilers, but they are from Damon and Carlton, so I consider them sanctioned. Read at your own risk.

Thanks, PJ. Nothing that we wouldn't have seen in Season 6 trailers, if they had made any with new footage! *grin*
I'm surprised at the return of Harold Perrineau, considering that there was some acrimony. But, Michael's on the poster; so's Daniel, and Jeremy Davies wasn't too respectful of the bosses, either.
If they're doing anything with Michael, it has to be without Walt, yes? Malcolm David Kelly is way to old to portray an historical Walt; I don't care what angle you shoot him from.
I watched Eps 5x08 and 5x09 Sunday evening. I'm trying to pace myself.
(The library still hasn't coughed up Under the Dome, but almost at the top of the waiting list.)

We're rewatching S5. It is amazing how much I have forgotten. Dh said to me, "Why did Widmore need to hire Miles?" I honestly couldn't remember. Of course, then Naomi SAYS why, which is probably why I so easily forgot it - we never needed to discuss it!
Less than three weeks, peeps. You ready?!
: ) P
I've been reading through that article that you posted PJ and I thought it was interesting that D&C (can't remember which one) said to re-watch season 1 before this final season...I think I might do a season 1 and season 5 re-watch, not enough time to watch the ones in between :)
Now ABC says Flashforward will return on Mar 18. Woe is me. Didn't we start this thread so we could talk about FF "until Lost came back" (or something like that)? There's nuttin' to talk about.
ARRGH!

I just watched Evie Lilly
I often thought Fox's claims sounded like a bunch of braggadocio. If he had gotten testy about future participation, they could have just killed Jack off. Sawyer could have morphed into the anti-Locke role or Widmore himself could have shown up and been anti-Locke. "I lied to you, John. I really gotta stop doing that...," Widmore smirked.
I hadn't heard about Lily's house burning. I just don't pay ebough attention to the actors.
8) Jim
I just watched Evie Lilly on Jimmy Kimmel's show.
Off to find that on YouTube!
: ) P
Maybe Flashforward does give us something to talk about. Their time slices have been a little fuzzy. Oct 6, Oct 31, and "sometime before Christmas" in Hong Kong were fairly clear. David Goyer said they were going to take advantage of the fact that Apr 29 is a Thursday. Of course, that was before they went into hiatus. Demetri's supposed to be murdered on Mar 15. Will his fate already be known to all when we see them again? Will Mark kill him in self-defense?

Evavgeline Lily is in three parts. Thanks for the lead, Doc. Here's part one:

I can see PJ turning green from envy as I enter today's press release below. Bad news - none of us are going. Good news - they are only showing the first hour of the two hour premiere.
- - - -

There will be red carpet arrivals before the screening, in which you will be able to interview the cast and producers of “LOST.”

WHAT DO YOU MEAN NONE OF US ARE GOING?! SURELY there is some kind of contest SOMEWHERE to win tickets to this blasted thing? Anyone? ANYONE?!
*sigh*
: ) P
I got nothin' PJ....nothin'.
Would I fly round trip from Atlanta to Honolulu to watch one-half of a season premier that I can watch in its entirety three days later? I doubt it. This fan is not quite a fanatic, although my wife would probably disagree.
Episode 6x03, "What Kate Does," is listed on ABC's grid. Since "What Kate Did," way back when was an explanation of Kate's crime, does that mean she's about to do something else and flee to Australia, thereby attracting ther attention of Deputy U. S. Marshall Mars... Well, you get the idea.
If the answer to the above is "yes," does that mean we get to go through another series of trying to get everyone to go back? I kind of hope not.

I was thinking about the convo Ben and Widmore had about 'changing the rules'.
With the TT thing, maybe he meant killing someone in the wrong timeline. Going back to WHH...maybe Widmore didn't actually break the rules. Remember all the hinting around the something was wrong with the island before Ben moved it? Remember the doctor washing up on shore before he died and Dan's rocket and the light reflection issues. Maybe Keamy was able to kill her because they weren't in the timeline Ben thought they were in?

Okay, so I watched "The Incident" and some of the special features on Disk 5 tonight. The Sawyer/Juliet scene is still phenomenal. Clearly, no one submitted that episode for acting awards because they should both have won EVERYTHING.
A couple of things I thought of, which might have been discussed, but I don't remember...
First, when Sawyer, Juliet and Miles are in the 1954 Others camp (with the Korean war tents), there is a flash and the tents disappear. I don't remember when they flash to next, but unless it is less than a year before or after that scene, the trees that remained after the flash SHOULD have changed somewhat - grown or looked smaller. They did not.
The second thing, that I picked up from an "extra" is that Chang / Candle / Wickman had a prosthetic hand in some of the DHARMA movies, right? Well, in when the magnetic hoo-hah starts to happen, Chang's hand gets caught and Miles helps him get it loose. Interesting...
: ) P
PJSander said...
Chang's hand...
I haven't rewatched "The Incident" yet and haven't seen the extras on the last disk at all, but I argued long and hard on the LP that the only thing we actually know about Chang's arm/hand is that he favors it. I think it's possible that his injury caused him to lose the use of his arm. Tendons destroyed, that sort of thing. Time will tell.
I watched "Some Like it Hoth" last night. I'd forgotten what the reference meant -- Hurley writing "The Empire Strikes Back" for George Lucus! Hurley is a pain; the guy never found a secret he didn't want to give away. I can imagine him with a security clearance.
8) Jim
Ben NEVER didn't have a plan.
(apologies for the grammar)
There is a caveat, of course, because he didn't APPEAR to have a plan when he "killed" Jacob, but somehow, really, I think he did.
: ) P
ooh ooh ooh
(hope it is okay to go twice)
Kate NEVER backed away from a challenge.
: ) P
Sawyer never did a good thing in his life. (The Long Con, 2x13)
I still like the redeemed Sawyer.
8) Jim
The Losties never stepped in Vincent's poop piles. ;)
Locke never found happiness.
Hurley NEVER missed an opportunity to say, "Dude."
: ) P
Digression: Three of the LP sysops, including the founder, Kevin, participated in an on-line discussion about what's next. No spoilers:

And now, back to Never Never Land (ouch!)...

Doc...ROTHFLMAO.
Not just Italian, but Brooklyn accented Italian. Hysterical for me coming from an Italian family...but you'll enjoy. It goes from S1 E1 all the way to the bomb detonation in 4:55. Can't really explain it, gotta see it.
Daniel NEVER explained why he named his rat after his mother.
: ) P
"Caprica" starts tonight on SciFi (or SyFy!?). You don't have to know anything about ther show, but it's a prequel to "Battlestar Gallactica." I decided to take that pages survey of people's intentions. So, for a total of two (yes, two) votes, 93% said "Yes" and 45% (me) said "I don't know."
What? Where did these guys take "sadistics?"
8) Jim
Oceanic NEVER explained why Flight 815 was on the wrong side of Australia.
8) Jim
I baking powder?
I finally saw the Italia meets LOST recap. It was funny. I like the kid they got to play Locke.
