LOST has officially replaced ALIAS as my favorite TV show.
Last night's episode clinched it. One scene in particular was especially good. If you watched it, you probably know which one I'm talking about, and if you taped it I won't ruin it for you. But DAMN that was good television.

Now if only they can write an episode where Kate gets off the island and joins the CIA and teams up with Sydney to go undercover to take down a ring of pillow-fighting lesbian terrorist cheerleaders...

1. I always do this!!!!
I didn't get into Lost when it started and I HATE jumping in during the middle. I did this with Alias and 24 and then spent a week each with the DVD's trying to catch up before the next season started. I guess I'll have to do the same thing in this case.

8. They're starting the whole series over again starting next week.
They'll be re-airing all the episodes for the next five weeks. No new episodes until Jan. 19th.

4. I know, that's why I'm hoping for the Kate/Sydney team-up.
They crossed over two Chris Carter shows once, so why not two JJ Abrams shows?

6. It's ok, I saw only parts of the episode...
I know how he was hanging in the tree, and then they tried to revive him. Did they find the girl?

9. No, Ethan still has her someplace. He probably wants her baby.
But the real cliffhanger was Locke and Boone (the bratty girl's brother) discovering something big and metal in the ground in the jungle. The show won't be on for a couple weeks, so what would normally be a regular ol' cliffhanger will be unbearable.

12. LOL...I think redqueen and I...
are going to have to have our own Sawyer Appreciation (read: Lust) Group.

btw, did you see the interview with Josh Holloway on Jimmy Kimmel Live last Friday night?

16. Too bad. He cleans up nicely.
Plus, you could tell he was nervous (his first talk show appearance ever), which made him even cuter.

He also used a couple of expletives that had to be bleeped and absolutely shocked the hell out of one old lady in the audience.

Mainly talked about how people on the street who recognize him give him dirty looks or avoid walking near him, and how one old geezer was giving him threatening looks in the elevator.

Jimmy Kimmel kept talking about how good-looking he was. Hmmmm.

Oh, and sadly enough, Josh just got married a few months ago.

Sawyer, Boone, Locke, Hurley? :wtf: Unless these are the last names.

20. I think MAYBE the survivors on lost are really dead and don't know it
There are a few things that have happened that make me think that. Like the old guy that was in Australia to go on a tour but they wouldn't let him because he was in a wheelchair. When the place crashed, he looked over at his wheelchair and realized he didn't need it anymore - that he could walk. Everybody seems to be getting back some bad karma ... like lessons they have to learn before they move on and realize they are actually dead. Just a theory.

22. You should put a *SPOILERS* thing in your subject line
for those that are wanting to watch from the beginning...

If that's it I'll be right pissed. That's such a tired idea.

29. Yah, but that was episode 2 or 3 when that happened
I guess it's a spoiler if you've never seen any episodes, but if that were the case, why would someone even click on this thread?

35. Um, what?
I was simply stating that people who haven't seen all the episodes might appreciate a warning.

I have no idea what you're talking about re: chasing people off and you not being able to make comments.

Asking you to insert a spoiler warning is not quite the same thing as saying SHUT THE FUCK UP, now, is it?

:hi:

23. Darnit. I missed the second episode of Lost so I didn't pick it up.
Guess I watch it on DVD like Alias. I'm almost done with season three.

28. Anyone know of any...
websites devoted to the show that I could go into my deep dork mode about?

I absolutely adore this show, and no one I know in the real world watches it but me! Where are the intelligent people out there? 'Course I do live in the red south...maybe there's a rodeo on somewhere I don't know about.

32. Here's the official ABC website for the show.
http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/

There appear to be many fan sites; this show is just the kind to inspire that sort of thing. Google it!
