New "LOST" thread

[Canelaw99]

I am SOOO glad y'all bumped this up. I had lost track over whether tonight was the new one or not, but that answered my question. I, too, was concerned about the next posts after that spoiler post - I am resisting the urge.....

grrrr - 3 hours left to fight the temptation to look....

[JQ Public]

WOOOHOO! What a good episode so far!!! My gf just bought me the complete set! I'm so excited!

[Canelaw99]

Very good episode so far. But, who the heck is Cindy?

[Wnghs2007]

Bye Shannon

[JQ Public]

She was the dark haired lady w/ the back-half group. She had an Aussie accent!


OMG SHANNON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Canelaw99]

Wow...ok...so, the person that I figured died is the one who did. Not a big surprise there, but the surprise, for me, came with the way the person died! Wasn't expecting that....that will definitely cause some issues in the future episodes.

And how cool is that? Extended episode next week where we get to find out about the Others...yay

[O Town]

OMG. What the heck was that? Well I am not fond of Shannon either, but seeing Ana shoot her made me feel really bad, ecspecially after the whole Siade thing they had going. What a dumb b!t(h, that Ana, why was she the one with the gun anyway. That whole episode raises so many more questions. The whole Walt thing is pretty creepy. And those wispers give me the chills as well. Got to let the episode set in a little more. I will post later. That was deffinatley good, and really has me thinking again.

[JQ Public]

Yeh you just knew smthg was gonna happen b/c of the way they shot Sayid and Shannon's last scene through the tree branches. YOu knew they were being watched or stalked. I felt bad for Shannon after hearing her story though. Poor little rich girl

[Miss Mary]

I need to let this episode sink too, lots happened. Leading to more stories. Had to laugh when Claire said she didn't remember marrying Charlie! He is acting just like a fussy husband/dad. So cute. That Locke - is there anything that man does not know about (swadling babies)? As I was watching the tailie group carry Sawyer up the steep hill, I said to my daughter Laura - he'd better be nicer to people after this! And we both joked, watch him wake up and ask what the heck are you doing to me here man? They went to such lengths to keep him alive. We were meant to think it was going to be Sawyer and I admit, I read the spoiler. I knew it was probably Shannon, although I will also admit I didn't trust that spoiler site 100%. I was just starting to like her character too. So is Walt really alive? Sure looked Sayid saw him too. Also, if that biotch Ana found Sayid and Shannon, they couldn't have gone that far from camp. So all will be reunited next week? Or are they stringing this reunion along longer, giving us the backstory on when the tail section people landed? I need to remember to tape longer next week....extended, what does that mean? Lost seems to start at 9:02 or 9:03 anyway, the times are all messed up!

We didn't see Jack, Sun or Kate tonight. Except for that flashback of Jack, guess they had the week off? LOL

FYI: I have no idea what's going on next week. Invasion is slated to begin RIGHT AT 10:00:00pm and the 8pm comedies don't end til right at 9:00:00pm, so I have no clue. Maybe it's a last minute change, but it must be some kind of recap deal since next week's episode was filmed over a month ago and when the press release came out two weeks ago, it was just for a 1-hour episode, nothing else.

OK... I checked the listings and as of when they were updated at Noon, it still has Lost as being only one hour.

Maybe not many commercials

I don't know, but I loved tonight's episode.

[Brent]

Maybe not many commercials

That's the only thing that makes sense. If that's not the case, then the ABC hype machine has gone off the deep end.

[jkt21787]

They will probably do one of those stupid things where they extend the show to 10:02/9:02c, so its two minutes longer, which in actuality, is an extended episode

I hate that with Desperate Housewives. It was fun at first, but now it's annoying. All it is MORE commericals. The show length is the exact same as it would be without it.

Here's the press release snip, it doesn't mention extra minutes:

"The Other 48 Days" - The harrowing first 48 days in the lives of the tail section survivors are revealed, on "Lost," WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Extra minute.....
They can't possibly mean that to be an extended show. It used to be last season it would run till 9:05. It started at 8 last season, and I always wondered about that. Don't know what the have planned but an extra minute is not extended. So hopefully it means less commercials.

[Miss Mary]

Didn't Friends start this craze? I remember it going longer than 30 minutes, but not 60. It would run about 10-12 minutes longer. I would just program it to tape for an hour, just in case. I often wondered how they would deal with this issue in reruns, later on. Which could be airing right now, in 30 minute timeslots. They probably cropped each episode to fit that 22 or 23 minute airtime.

That said, I'm going to change our Lost programming to go until 10:30 now. Heck with it, might even make it 11.

That said yet again, what I wish they'd give us is one really meaty episode, 90 to 120 minutes long. I'll take the commercials, just give us more than snipets of each story going on. We haven't even seen the bunker in weeks either!

Question - did anyone see the extra scene on the morning news show today? I forgot to record it and just went downstairs at 8:07, they were plugging next week's show so I missed the whole thing - probably 1 minute long but I wonder now what it was! If anyone saw it, fill me in. Thanks!

I feel so bad for Syiad! I think he will give Ana hell for shooting Shannon. But hey, no Jake or Kate last night

[Miss Mary]

He was rising up with sheer hatred in his eyes, aimed at Ana. You could see it. Shannon did go off running wildly in the jungle, many times, and wouldn't listen to Sayid. That part fit her personality, throw caution to the wind. But I never expected Ana would be the one that maybe pulled the trigger. They want us to think she did. What is everyone's opinion on that? Did Ana shoot her or not? She had her gun out already in a previous scene.

I don't know Mary. Do you think it might have been "the others"?

Hey, what is the thought on Walt and the weird way he looked? Kind of spooky!
