"Lost" Thread-part 3

[Miss Mary]

We have 4 hours of TV shows on Thursdays. This move adds an hour. 5 hours - oh who needs sleep anyway? LOL

"The Office" used to be my must-see Thursday show, if we were very, very busy.

Guess which show will be my must-see Thursday show? he he

I'll be happy to lose sleep for Lost......LOL

But I liked it on Wednesdays.

[Tstormwatcher]

There is only one show I watch on Thursday and its on at 9:00.
It's Supernatural. I guess that I will have to record it for 6 weeks.

The Office won't be on anyway(at least new episodes because of the strike, repeats may air at 8pm or 8:30)... the horrible Celebrity Apprentice will air against Lost.

New 2-minute Lost trailer

New 2-minute Lost trailer

I've watched the ABC 8 minute recap so far but this 2 minute trailer gave me chills! Of what is to come, more uncertainty, more questions, more doubts.....

that only Lost can deliver!

Hurry up January 31st! I am programming both the VCR and DVR, having a battery operated Sony TV/Radio/Wxband at the ready in case we have a power outage. And the Sony Watchman with fresh batteries too (the audio isn't good though, that's why I like the radio with TV channels available).

And I am not answering the phone......LOL

So no one call, okay? he he

I cannot wait!

Yeah, I know, I'm a little crazy about Lost......God I love this show!

[southerngale]

OMGosh... I can't wait for LOST to start! That trailer gave me chills too. I want more than 8 episodes though. ARRRRRRRRGHHHHH.

[Tstormwatcher]

Know the way LOST is, I bet in those 6 episodes, we learn nothing.

[Tstormwatcher]

Just heard on TV that the Jan. 31st show will be a 2 hour event. Now will that be 2 hour premier or 1 hour catchup and 1 hour new?
I guess we will have to wait.

First hour is a recap.

[Miss Mary]

I didn't know that!

But we'll watch the recap......you know we will!

[southerngale]

I just ordered season 3 on DVD from Amazon... it will be here Friday. I'm going to watch all of last season again before Jan. 31st.

I love the never-before-seen glimpses into the characters' past lives, etc. that you get on the DVD's. It will give me a nice fix until then as well. The season finale was the best show I've ever watched on TV.

[southerngale]

Miss Mary, I'm sure you will enjoy this view.

Kelly - I sure did! Matthew Fox portrays Jack so well.......can't imagine anyone else as Jack now. Did you know that Michael Keaton turned the role down? I bet he's kicking himself....I always find it interesting to learn which major star turned down certain roles (another example, Dana Delany turned down Bree Van DeKamp/Hodge on Desperate Housewives. Now she is a wife, but several seasons into the show.....she's probably regretted that decision too!)....

Thanks for that video......getting so psyched for Lost now....LOL

[Tstormwatcher]

Arrrrgg, our ABC station just put a banner across the screen during a LOST commercial. Because of a Basketball game, we will have to wait until Friday at 7:00pm to see LOST. I hate college basketball.

[southerngale]

I watched Season 3 again over the past few weeks. Wow, just wow.

"We have to go back."

How far in the future is this?
Did everyone get off?
Who is Kate with? ("he will be wondering where I am")
Why isn't she in jail?
Do they somehow get off by the people we see in the ads for this season, Naomi's people? (the ones who say their interest is NOT rescuing people)
Whose funeral/wake did Jack attend that nobody else showed up for? He said it wasn't a friend or family member.

Anyone have the answers? lol

I wonder if we'll see more flash-forwards. It sure is hard to see Jack so messed up.... bad enough to make him want to jump off a bridge!
Grrr at Kate... just walking off and leaving him there distraught. I wonder if it's Sawyer who will be wondering where she is. Maybe she got pregnant and they got married. I hope not though. But how is she even free? Maybe the flash-forward is a flash-forward from the island, but maybe, somehow, the island time didn't really interrupt "real" time, so the flash-forwards are somehow actually before she killed her step-father. lol - ok, I know that doesn't make sense, but what does on this show? Desmond went back in time, only to then "flash-forward" back to real or island time.
I wonder if Desmond will get to everyone to tell them that Naomi wasn't from Penny's boat before the "rescue helicopter" arrives, so they have time to plan something or will they all be thrilled to see what they think is their rescue helicopter landing.

As if a plane crash isn't bad enough... all this!

[Miss Mary]

Kelly - I've watched that finale so many times and never tire of it. I have many, many favorite moments too - when Jack beats Ben to a pulp, when Danielle is introduced to Alex as her mother. When Danielle asks Alex to help tie up Ben. LOL When Jack and Kate are so distraught to think that Sayid, Jin and Bernard are dead only to have Hurley contact the "others", we got you bastards, oh how I loved Kate and Jack's reactions when they learned those 3 survived and Hurley saved the day. Also, when Danielle elbows Ben when he's tied up to the tree, I loved it. The last goose bump moment comes when Jack looks to the sky after contacting Naomi's freighter. And the camera angle spins around. Not one of my favorite scenes is Charlie assuming that death is his fate. How very brave he was and I will miss that boy!

Oh that was the best, very best finale I've ever watched!

Okay, other Lost fans....note how I used that word other. LOL

Here are a few links from TV Guide. Each day they are featuring a recap of one Lost character at a time. Here are three. I'll keep adding these links b/c I think they'll keep doing this until the 31st. Which is really cool - a Lost 101 Guide!

Back to the Future

In our exclusive set visit, we delve into the daringly dark mysteries of the new Lost episodes!
by Shawna Malcom

Lost

This was supposed to be a very different story. Last September, on a hot and sticky Hawaiian morning, Lost's future was primed for takeoff. In a lush jungle clearing, city doc–turned–island leader Jack (Matthew Fox) was helping a grizzled new arrival named Lapidus (Jeff Fahey) load gear into something that, before eight months ago, fans figured they wouldn’t see until the final frame of the series: a freakin' helicopter.
The show's resident psychic, Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick), who predicted late last season that a chopper would whisk people away from the seemingly inescapable island, was suddenly demanding one of its precious few seats. And he was doing it loudly enough to draw attention from another newbie, Faraday (Jeremy Davies), who had until then been preoccupied with performing a mysterious island experiment. But before anybody went anywhere, there was some important business to settle.

"Did the Red Sox really win the Series?" Jack asked.

"Don't get me started," responded Lapidus, who may or may not intend to rescue the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. "I bleed Yankee blue."

And millions of devoted fans bleed Lost, which threw viewers the mother of all curveballs last May when, in the third-season finale, Jack flashed forward to a future when he and Kate (Evangeline Lilly) were off the blasted island. And a future in which Jack has a weird beard, a pill problem and an obsessive new mission: "We have to go back, Kate! We have to go baaack!"

The audacious reveal did precisely what Lost's dizzyingly inventive architects, executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, had hoped: blow our minds and make us forgive the season's uneven start and occasional missteps (Nikki and Paulo, anyone?). It also reenergized the cast of ABC's Emmy-winning drama. "I've not been that excited about the show since the pilot," Lilly said during a break from shooting a tense scene with Josh Holloway (Sawyer). "To be frank, when we did my last flashback in Season 3, I was scared because I felt like there was nothing of Kate's story left to tell. The flash-forwards open up a whole plethora of stories."

Jorge Garcia, who plays Hurley, agrees: "It's very much that Season 1–type thing where you get a script and immediately wanna read it."

The flash-forward device wasn't the only twist the actors were buzzing about. They also talked of the producers' hard-won decision to end Lost for good after 48 more episodes, or three seasons of 16 each. (Lindelof and Cuse declined to be interviewed for this story, due to the writers' strike.) But the consensus among the cast was that a defined end date would focus — and restore faith in — the show.

And then came the strike.

By the time production shut down shortly before Thanksgiving, only eight episodes had been shot. But with the network's stash of scripted programming dwindling by the day, ABC Entertainment president Stephen McPherson made the call to air what there is of Lost's fourth season, starting January 31, in the plum Thursdays-at-9 slot previously occupied by Grey's Anatomy. (McPherson also declined comment.)

Doing so will certainly allow Lost fans a long-awaited fix. But it also runs the risk of frustrating them, once again, if additional episodes can't be produced. (Sources say that, even if the strike should end this month, it would be highly unlikely that all 16 episodes could be completed, and they certainly couldn't air consecutively through May as originally planned.)

Still, there is good news. TV Guide has seen the season's first four episodes, and they're worth the wait. An emotionally satisfying, seamless blend of flash-forwards and flashbacks, the new installments provide gaspworthy plot twists that should whip fans into a theory-spinning tizzy.

How much do you wanna bet that the last 3 will be: Jack, Sawyer and Kate?

ABC will re-air the Lost Season 3 two hour finale, but an enhanced finale with text on the screen (read on) this Wednesday, Jan. 30 @ 9 p.m. (EST).

Will it make the finale even better.....I don't know. It's pretty hard to make that season finale better than it was (the best one I've ever watched, on any show, in any decade, LOL).....but here's the info, from TV Guide. Also today's Lost character profile (this time, Jin).

Season 3's Finale, Enhanced Finale article:

Today's News: Our Take
Feeling Lost? Enhanced Finale Rebroadcast Can Help

On Wednesday at 9 pm/ET, 24 hours before Lost (at long last) launches its Season 4, ABC will present an enhanced rebroadcast of the trippy Season 3 finale in which (Spoiler alert for those with online access under a rock) a flash-forward revealed that Jack, and Kate, both make it off the island.

This special presentation of the "Through the Looking Glass" episode will feature text on the "lower third" (of the screen, as we call it in the biz), offering up backstory, clues and other assorted on-screen facts.

My first thought: Does this mean the middle third of the screen will now get obstructed with some clumsy Eli Stone bug/promo?
