Who's getting Lost tonight?

Not me.

I think I saw maybe 15 minutes of the first episode - too much for me.

I will.

So, the real new episode starts at 9, right? And that's some kind of recap/overview show they're showing at 8? I don't like that they've moved to Thursday night, but at least this won't interfere with 5th Grader! :P

So will I.

My TV guide gives this description of the first hour tonight:

Past, Present & Future
The mysteries of the island and its inhabitants; secrets that have been revealed and secrets that remain unanswered.


Last night's "popped-up" rerun of the last episode was kinda funny.

I will be. In too deep now, having seen every episode from the start. Besides, if I can watch Kid Nation through to the bitter end I can watch anything.

Well, almost anything. No interest in AI (or Big Brother which apparently makes an early return thanks to the strike). Would rather watch reruns of L&O. Survivor isn't far off so that will help.

And I have 15-20 Actors Studios on tape and a half dozen CSI: Miami's on the Tivo I can watch if I get desperate.

And CSI: Miami is pretty bad...

Started watching Torchwood recently, a spin off from Doctor Who. It is better, and less campy, than Dr Who if you can get past the rough and tumble lead hero, "Cap'n Jack", planting a big wet one on all the guys on a regular basis.

NTTIAWWT...


Missed the first few episodes though so I hope they show them again at some point.

I noticed that when I watched the first few minutes of it. Looked kind of amusing although they have a way on that show of saying a lot without really telling you anything. So I will have to watch it again for the pop ups I guess.

I'm in. Although it will be delayed until I get home from rehearsal. It'll be another late night. I was up late last night watching the Republican Debate and then reading online articles and blogs about it.

Signs that Lost is like an abusive boyfriend

Let's just say you had an exciting, seductive, thrilling lover who mysteriously and secretively disappeared, leaving you with hundreds of unanswered questions. Eight months later, he's back. Do you give him an hour of your time? You do if he is a TV show, and if that TV show is Lost.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Tivoing it. I'll catch up this weekend.

The only episode I've ever watched is the pilot -- and only because I use it in my class. I have my students compare/contrast the episode with the first four chapters of Lord of the Flies.

I think it is one of the better shows on TV, and I am not normally into science fiction. I also have discovered Heroes on DVD and love that show too.
