Lost

Why won't they play new episodes for two weeks? I don't know how the tv rotation schedule works, but I was disappointed to see in the "next week on Lost..." preview that next week they are playing a rerun.

Most full season shows run from late September/early October through May, but there are only around 22 episodes for a full season. Do the math and you'll see that isn't enough new episodes to last 6-7 months. Obviously the networks always want high ratings, but it's especially important during sweeps months, which determine how much the networks can charge advertisers, so they put on reruns in ordere to save new episodes for those periods (such as February).

Got it. Do you work in television, candygirl? I don't know anything about this kind of stuff! All I know is that channel 4 is Fox where I live...

Hee, no, I don't get paid anything for my television obsession.

Apparently I just watch way too much tv!

Candygirl works in an olfaction lab, thus she is particularly well qualified to judge today's mass media...

Great episode of Lost the other night. Interesting story with Walt and his dad.....that kid is creepy. And Claire's back too! I can't wait to see what happens next!

Yeah definitely! I want to know what the deal is with Walt. After his mom died, Walt's stepdad tells Michael he can't handle the kid, and that things happen when he's around. What is that? I don't really think this is a spoiler... because I don't know what he's talking about!

Brian (Walt's stepdad) is referring to things like the dead bird. It's still happening too - if you recall, the polar bear made its first appearance in the same episode when we saw Walt reading the comic book that had pictures of a polar bear.

Everyone has their own way of defining spoilers. Here in the MSCL tv forum, we define it as "any information (plot, casting, or otherwise) regarding an episode that has not yet aired," so your post definitely didn't include any spoilers!

But what about one of the first episodes (2nd maybe? can't remember...) where Kate and Sawyer and a couple other people saw a polar bear? Sawyer shot it, I believe...

Yes, that's the episode I'm talking about. Shortly before Sawyer shoots the polar bear during his little nature walk with Kate, Shannon, Sayid, Charlie, and Boone, we see Walt reading a comic book with a picture of a polar bear.

Hmm. I don't remember. I'm sure you're right, though, candygirl. Shows you how much I pay attention. Perhaps I should only have one glass of wine while watching Lost?

Post by **Natasha (candygirl)** » Jan 22nd 2005, 10:46 pm

No way, have a few more! I would love to hear what you think happened after a whole bottle of wine.

"Did you see the part where Charlie got naked and went for a moonlight swim?"

"Jin not only secretly speaks English, but French and Iraqi! He only knows Australian English, so he couldn't understand a damn thing all the Americans have been saying! He was speaking directly to me tonight!"

"Dude, didn't you love when Hurley and Sawyer gave each other haircuts and then became more than just friends?"

Wait wait wait..... are you telling me those things didn't happen???

Josh Holloway (Sawyer) played the first vamp dusted on AtS, and he also played the guy who stole Alicia Silverstone's bag in the Aerosmith video "Cryin'"!

In other "before they were stars" roles, I saw a commercial for Livelinks, one of those chatlines. It featured a smiley girl talking about how excited she was about meeting new people at Livelinks. She looked just like Evangeline Lilly (Kate) except I am so brainwashed by Lost that at first I didn't believe it could possibly be here since Kate never smiles.
