Topic: LOST

Ida - wash your mouth out with soap!  ;-D  "Lost" is still very popular and has a large audience, if not as large as the first couple of seasons.  And they dare not end "Lost" before the writers give us that long-promised resolution to the story (which is supposedly going to answer "most" of our questions though not every single one), and I understand they will make a big production out of it.  It could end next year, which will be their 6th season (presumably based on ratings), or at the end of the 7th.  It's currently scheduled to start airing in January.  One episode is in the can, one's in production.

Anyone else notice how similar "FlashForward" is to "Lost"?  Even going so far as including Dominic Monahan in the cast, starting next week!

Here's a link to a 4.25-minute video ad for that first episode, called "Mysteries of the Universe, Part 5," which I found thru links from the IMDb website.  Predictably, it's as mysterious as the series itself.  (In case the link doesn't work, I see "hulu" at the bottom so I'm sure you could find it at hulu.com by searching for that title.)

P.S. I'm kind of pissed that the Syfy Channel has stopped showing reruns of *Lost* every night at 1:00 AM, in chron order, which they were doing for a few months up until the last few weeks. Now I'm finding it only at 1 AM (I think?) Sunday nights on a local NBC affiliate, and at some point on Saturday afternoon or evening I think, maybe overnight. Plus Syfy isn't showing *The X-Files* at 2:00 AM every night as they had been either, only sporadically now. Aarrggh. Tough on us late-nighters, who need some well-written shows during those hours instead of all the infomercials and other crap that's on. -Spell

Yeah, I have been lost with my nightly dose of LOST. I loved watching the reruns because they take on new meaning when you know what is going to happen later. I get my LOST fix at www.televisionwithoutpity.com. /regina

EXACTLY - it makes a lot more sense & is more enjoyable to watch, for me anyway, when you kind of have your bearings as you watch the repeats. Makes you appreciate it purely for the quality of the production, IMO; it's a great show. -Spell

Spell - No seventh. The sixth season will be the last one, and yeah, will start in late Jan or early Feb.. Flashforward - right, Monaghan, and Sonya Walger, too (Desmond's lady, Penny) and that we USED the word 'flashforward' to describe the non-island parts of the story during most of Season 4, with the Oceanic Six...

If it's like last year we probably won't see it again until early 2010.
