Re: "Lost" Thread-part 3
I hate this strike too. This season is a wash.
Here's the next TV Guide Lost character profile:
Sayid
http://www.tvguide.com/news/lost-sayid-jarrah/080126-01
If something, God forbid, ever happened to Jack, Sayid would be the one I'd follow on that island. Not Locke! Sayid always keeps a cool head and is in sinc with Jack or at least thinks as Jack does - protecting the plane crash survivors. I love that about Sayid! (and well Jack, but that's a given.....LOL)
Near the end this week, I'll go back and list all these Lost characters' profiles, in case anyone wants to read just one. It's pretty cool how TV Guide is doing this! I've always thought there should be a Lost handbook or something.....to keep it all straight.

Fingers & toes, lurker.
I read all of those character profiles, Miss Mary... thanks. I'm SO ready for LOST! After watching my season 3 DVD's, I started over with Season 1 again... watching an episode or two here and there, when I can. It's amazing how much little stuff I missed or just forgot. I have recruited quite a few people, who have started watching from my DVD sets. lol They love it too!

Kelly - we rented the finale from Season 3 recently just so we could have the extras. We kept that rental the full 5 days! So like you, we enjoyed rewatching an old episode. I keep thinking my hubby will eventually get on board with this Lost stuff, since my daughter Laura and I slip into Lost lingo at dinner, while watching other shows, and we speak of Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Charlie as if they are real people. Hubby just puts up with it but just yesterday when I announced - yet again, I should add - that I"ll believe Charlie is dead when I see that he's dead, hubby went off on a Charlie tangent - "oh Charlie, Charlie, Charlie"..... Laura and I shut up. You see Charlie's her favorite character so she gets all upset that he "died".......and I keep saying, just wait, maybe he survived? Dinner conversations right now in our family are interesting. We've already claimed the basement TV Thursday night and joke we're posting a Lost sign, do not disturb.....LOL I think I'd cave at this point, I'd just watch the darn show with the rest of the family but my husband keeps saying - polar bears on a tropical island? LOL
As if we've seen that polar bear recently.....he he
Anyway, haven't been able to recruit any new Lost fans lately. Although at a party over the weekend a friend said she's lost and forgets so much about Lost. I just absolutely stared at her! So I said well you know Jack and Kate get off the island don't you? She got so upset with me - saying, now why did you tell me that? Don't tell me what's gonna happen. I stared again - as if to say and you call yourself a Lost fan........sooooooo, I had to remind her of how Season 3 ended. Oh yeah she said - well duh! I think I had to walk away from her and get another drink. I couldn't take it! Everyone on the planet knows they flash forwarded, don't they? he he
Okay back to more TV Guide Lost character profiles, this one I predicted - Kate!

Re: "Lost" Thread-part 3
Hey everyone - just a friendly reminder that Lost episodes go over by 3 or so minutes. TV Guide lists tomorrow night's Season 4 one hour premiere as 62 minutes. I always pad my recording by 5 minutes.
So don't forget to set your DVR's, Tivo's, VDR's according........

As I predicted, TV Guide saved the best for last, here's Jack's profile - oh heart be still!
http://www.tvguide.com/news/lost-jack-s ... /080131-02
*Edit* I want to go on record as saying I will believe Charlie died in the finale until I see it for myself tonight. I could be way off base but something tells me he may have survived. Anyway, if he does survive I've already forgiven the writers for throwing that plot twist at us (we've had quite the number haven't we? LOL).....

Great Season 4 Premiere. I'm so sad that Charlie is dead though. I thought for sure he'd swim out of the ocean, right after Desmond told everyone what happened to Charlie. I'm going to go way out on a limb here and say I still don't believe Charlie's dead. Lost has been known to throw us off course and we can't always trust Hurley's imagination! I hadn't forgotten about Hurley's psychiatric stay in a mental hospital but I hadn't thought much about his mental state in a long time. Poor Hurley, he appears to want mental clarity so much! He's still that big, loveable teddy bear to me.
The Oceanic Six......rolls off the tongue so easily doesn't it? In the flash forward last night, Jack is the Jack we know now. In a good place. I wish he could stay that way! I would have to guess Jack was in denial at that point and Hurley wasn't handling whatever traumatic secret they're ordered to keep to themselves very well.....
I know TV Guide will have a review of the episode, I'll provide a link in a moment.
All I have to leave you all with is this - RIP Charlie (if you're dead).....and Poor Hurley......
Mary

Lost
Episode Recap: The Beginning of the End
“Are they still alive?”
That prophetic question, posed to Hurley by the (presumably) bogus Oceanic representative (Lance Reddick, who seems to come by creepy characters very naturally), sets the tone for the mini-season to come. Eight episodes don’t seem like much, but after tonight’s satisfying, emotionally resonant, fourth-season premiere, I am supremely grateful for them.
As expected, we didn’t get many answers. (Heck, who wants them anyway.) But here is what we now know (Or, at least, what we think we know.) The buzzed-about “Oceanic Six” appear to be the survivors who made it off the island. We knew about Jack and Kate going in and now we can add Hurley to the list. Sadly, Hurley’s post-island life has not panned out very well, and our first glimpse of him is as a fugitive taking police on a wild, televised chase – a scene that is witnessed by a vodka and orange juice-swilling Jack. The joy with which Hurley spoke of his imagined, cannonball-inducing freedom on the beach has apparently dissipated into the same melancholic guilt that will soon overtake Jack. I use the future tense in regard to Jack’s breakdown because it appears that tonight’s flash forward can be mapped on the timeline prior to the total disintegration we witnessed in the season finale. (A hint is offered to confirm this – “I’m thinking about growing a beard.")
I have to say, as I was warned by a few people who had screened this episode ahead of time, Jorge Garcia’s work tonight simply blew me away. His Hurley has always been one of my favorite island-dwellers, mostly because his humor and vulnerability often provide a much-needed anecdote to all the chaotic drama. I waited with dread to see Hurley’s reaction when he learned about Charlie’s sacrifice, but nothing could have prepared me for the moment when he gently broke the news to Claire that their friend was gone. Jorge Garcia says so much with his eyes and watching him share that moment with the other person who really cared deeply about Charlie had me crying buckets. (On an unrelated note, I have to mention here that the musical score for this show always strikes exactly the right chord for me. I am one of those people who is very easily manipulated by a stirring musical moment, but I find that the familiar score that frequently accompanies these emotional moments always seems perfectly understated.)
Knowing that Charlie’s fate would have been challenging to overcome, how pleasantly shocking it was to see Dominic Monaghan turn up at the mental hospital where Hurley was convalescing. It was a vision of Charlie at the convenience store that had triggered Hurley’s Camaro incident. Whether Charlie really did find a way to visit his friend from beyond (“I am dead, but I’m also here,”) or whether Hurley was simply summoning his own doubts and remorse, the message was clear—“They need you.”
We were reunited with Locke again tonight as well, though questions about his loyalty and mental status still remain wide open. As Hurley struggled to clear his mind of the vision of the cabin in the woods (complete with a quick flash of the seemingly indestructible Mikhail and—I think—the elusive Jacob) he happened upon Locke who quickly leveraged his emotions over Charlie’s death to regain his trust. Meanwhile, Kate followed her instincts despite Jack’s best efforts and quickly located the mortally-wounded Naomi, convincing her to lie about her condition as she made contact with the alleged rescue team.
As the survivors were once again united, two camps were quickly formed, setting the stage for what's to come. Locke, believing that the rescue was a lethal trap, urged the survivors to follow him to safety at the Other’s abandoned campground and was joined by Hurley, Sawyer, Rousseau and Ben. Jack, however, held fast to the hope that rescue was imminent and legitimate and Kate maintained her allegiance to him.
Like I said earlier, we are left, once again, with a dizzying array of unanswered questions. What will be the repercussions of this split? What are the true motives of the rescue team? Which three people round out the Oceanic Six, how do they get off the island and what the heck is haunting them? Are they still alive? Why wouldn’t they be? If you are like me, the questions are what keep you coming back for more. Let the games begin.
Need to get a little more Lost? Visit the Online Video Guide for clips and full episodes. Also, check out Matt Mitovich's conversation with Sayid himself, Naveen Andrews.

Re: "Lost" Thread-part 3
The fourth-season premiere of ABC’s “Lost” delivered the best numbers in more than a year for the hit mystery drama last night, lifting the network to an easy first-place finish on the first night of sweeps.
“Lost” averaged a 6.7 adults 18-49 rating, according to Nielsen overnights, the show’s best rating since its November 2006 fall finale. It also drew 16.1 million total viewers, its best number since November 2006.
The show was 16 percent above last May’s 5.9 18-49 season finale average and 14 percent above its full-season average of 5.9. Last spring it aired at 10 p.m. Wednesday.
“Lost” also knocked out its toughest competition, NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice,” which posted a season-low 2.8 rating at 9 p.m., down 24 percent from last week’s 3.7. The second hour of “Apprentice” did perk up to a 3.6.
“Lost” gave the series premiere of “Eli Stone” a nice boost at 10 p.m. as well. The show averaged a 4.2 rating, holding only 63 percent of “Lost’s” audience but easily winning the timeslot.
That helped ABC to a dominant victory last night, marking just the second time since 1991 that the network won the opening night of February sweeps.
