Can't wait ... can't wait!!
I think tonights episode of House is a repeat - or as they now call those shows an "encore"
I don't think I'll be able to post while watching Lost. I'm usually too glued to the tv.
I agree about watching and posting. Lost is one of those programs where they have a lot of hidden clues and unfortunately "red herrings", but you have to watch closely sometimes to try to get pieces of the puzzle that is Lost.
Boone in flashbacks?! Yea!!!!!!!

Okay, for anyone who likes America’s Funniest Videos - my favorite clips on that show are people walking into glass doors. We sit there and rewind them and watch them over and over.
So last night Jack walking into the glass twice - I’m laughing about it now as I type.
I’m sure there will be mixed reviews about the episode. I will officially say - I lurved it. Thought the opening sequence was brilliant, although in answering questions (eg, where did The Others live) it left us with a bunch more questions.
Like most Lost fans, I like to dig deeper into the meanings of the episode. So, some points worth discussing:
1) Very much got the feeling I was watching The Village, if anyone has seen that movie
2) Hello Skinner Box (cage)
3) Ben (aka Henry Gales) is “him”
4) Sara and Christian - must be a red herring
5) What was the Stephen King book they were reading?
6) Moonlight Serenade
7) “Let it Go”
8) Carl is a plant (probably)
definitely a skinner box
clearly the 'hydra' underwater station will be an intersting part of this season
I'm also interested in what the animal research station is/was up to
Im guessing the Dharma 'commune' is some type of a forced scientific community. There is an attempt at normalcy (book club, baking muffins), but clearly Natalie was falling apart trying to pretend he was living a normal life in the opening scene.
It was CARRIE.

They REALLY get into the indepth nuts-and-bolts of each episode with screen caps and all that. There's some pretty cool stuff over there, and some really far out stuff too.
Anyone know why ABC is offering the episode online for free? Not that I am complaining, I missed the first 20 minutes of S3E01 last night. Personaly, I think it's a good move on ABC's part.
Interesting article (from E!) about the decline in popularity of Lost. It was inevitable really. Even if viewers weren't increasingly annoyed with the lack of resolution in some of the story lines, viewership tends to decline over the years anyway.

Going down a hatch is one thing. Climbing out of one, as Lost is learning, is another.
Based on Wednesday night's ratings, the ABC adventure-thriller-mystery hybrid remains in recovery mode after an unpopular resolution to the series' first-season cliffhanger.
Lost's third-season opener was watched by 18.8 million, ABC said. And while that was more than enough to make it the night's most-watched show, and should be more than enough to make it one of the week's most-watched shows, it wasn't near enough to match its own second-season premiere.
Last fall, 23.5 million checked out the Lost launch party. The big premiere was driven by interest in the big cliffhanger from the show's first-season finale. In that episode, aired in May 2005, the plane-wrecked castaways looked down one long, mysterious hatch.
What were they looking at? What was in the hatch? The questions simmered during that summer; the answers fizzled the following fall. As revealed during the 2005-06 season, the hatch led to a tunnel that led to a bunker which basically housed a 1980s home computer set-up, dot-matrix printer and all.
Oh.
The letdown seemed to take down the show's ratings--from 23.5 million viewers for the second-season premiere to 17.8 million for the second-season finale. (Airing opposite American Idol in the spring didn't help, either.) In the end, Lost's audience actually shrunk about 3 percent from its first season to its second.
That Wednesday's numbers were actually up 5 percent from last spring's finale could be a sign that the new "The Others"-kidnapped-Jack storyline is working.
Or, it could be a sign that American Idol isn't on yet.
I would like to be pinged for Lost. However, I have no access except for DVD's or videos, therefore I cannot (CANNOT!) read anything about episodes I haven't seen yet. I am currently on the lookout for bootleg copies of same...
ABC showed the last one on-line immediately after it aired. They may do that in the future.
Got a URL for that?

On the right hand side. Most of the networks are doing this now, so I suspect that you'll be able to view the show immediately after it airs.
Well, actually, don't know if they wait until it airs of the west coast first.
Nice looking numbers. I'm playing these for tonight's Wisconsin Megabucks game! I'm rich!
Thousands of people have played those numbers and lost, so you might as well join them.
They actually almost won in Ireland once. The winning number there was 4 8 15 16 23 24
Grab a bit torrent client and install it. Following that, surf on over to torrentz.com, Season 3 episode(s) should be out there.
