*So, did you guys watch LOST last night? Is The Very Next Morning too early to talk about it, what with all of the DVRd episodes hanging around out there? I'll have you know that LOST is one of two shows that I almost always watch the night it airs. The other one is The Office. Otherwise I get all squirrelly and pouty when I can't get in on the Talk. What if someone makes an inappropriate Michael-Scott-type joke and I DON'T GET IT? Actually, this is moot because no one I work with makes inappropriate jokes based on The Office. EXCEPT FOR ME. And again, I ask the universe WHY I do not work with ALL OF YOU. WHERE ARE THE TUUURRRTTLES? Sigh. Nevermind. I'm emotionally defeated with this thing. Let me know what you thought of LOST, just like they used to do in the OLDEN DAYS.
*I am SO OVER the writer's strike. I support the writers, I do, until it is no longer convenient for me, and that time is NOW. Also, information whore that I am, I want to know what is going on with the strike. Isn't there some kind of STRIKE BLOG that I can consult? This is how it is for me now. I want there to be a blog for everything so I can just subscribe to the pertinent facts in every area of my life.
*So, the SuperBowl is on Sunday. And guess who is playing? A TEAM FROM NEW ENGLAND, that's who! I keep hearing people talk about how This is New England's Year, and I ask you: is EVERY year in recent memory not New England's year? Are we still doing that persecuted underdog thing? Can I subscribe to a blog that tells me when it's NOT New England's year? I'm not sure how long BR can keep his blood pressure appropriately elevated. Something's bound to burst, and I hope it's the RABID BOSTON SUPAHFAN-oblongata. Or whatev.

I LOVED it! I almost gave up on Lost last year but stuck it out and I am glad it did not disappoint. Hurley is one of my favs so I love an episode where he's the focus (even though I thought they did a good job involving everyone else too). My favorite line was when he was talking to Charlie and he said how it freaked him out to see him next to the HoHos.
I read ew.com's review and the writer said he thought it was Jack's dad in Jacob's rocking chair. I will have to review that again on DVR.
Who do you think are the "Oceanic 6?" I'm guessing Kate, Jack, Hurley (obviously) Rose, Bernard, and Sawyer.
I've been DYING to know what's going on with the strike. So if you find a blog about it, let me know.
Lost is one of the great shows that I somehow managed to completely miss. I'll have to get the DVDs.
Aggie99-Welcome, even to the Aggies (I GUESS)! That is my guess on the Oceanic 6 also. And one of my friends (okay, it's Darla), agrees about Jack's dad in the rocking chair. I think she paused it and everything. I didn't go that far, but if that's two votes I'll take your word for it.
*cough*googleisyourfriend*cough*
Also, since I'm in kind of a bad mood this morning: I don't really watch any TV anymore and it is great. nyah
Anon-Thank you! Yay! See, that is what I was HOPING would happen, that the blog in question would magically appear in my inbox without having to use any of my own questionable Google Skills. Since I'm in kind of a GOOD mood, you are excused from the TV talk. I GUESS.
i've never actually watched lost. i missed season 1, and by then everyone was salivating uncontrollably about how awesome it was, and it just seemed like so much effort to get caught up. so i just... didn't. oops.
I LOVED Lost! Now that aggie99 mentioned it, that did look like Jack's dad. Sort of. Maybe.
I think the Oceanic 6 are: Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, John Lock (who I think is the one that died) and Syid (sp?).
Also, I am ready, ready, ready for the f-ing writers strike to be over. Rumor is that an announcement will be made today. Fingers crossed.
Texxie, you are nice to snarky people. I love ya. I thought Lost was FRUSTRATING I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON GODDAMNIT AUGH. That said, I think Michael's in the coffin, that would explain Kate's remark about, "why would *I* go to *his* funeral?" because she's mad at him about when he ran off and left them last season (two seasons ago, WHO KNOWS). I think that Jack's dad IS alive because they've changed the space/time continuum somehow. I think the Oceanic 6 are Kate, Hurley, Jack, Bernard, Rose and LOCKE. OH YES I DID. The guy in the rocking chair can't be Jack's dad..I think it's Jack HIMSELF in the future, all "HELP ME!!" Jacob=Jack, get it. I think about this too much. kbye
Sorry, that deleted comment was me.
You could read Pamie's blog (www.pamie.com). She's a writer for Samantha Who? and updates frequently on the strike situation.
Also, don't tell BR, but while I rooted for NE to go 16-0, I'm rooting against them going 19-0. Because I love an underdog...until they win a few times. Then I root against them. Is that wrong?
Also,she does a pretty god recap every Friday.

Jane-Ooo, Jacob=Jack. GOOD ONE. I like it. I'm over Locke though. They're trying to hard with him, or something. It's on my nerves.
P&D-No, that is NOT wrong! What's WRONG is pretending like Boston/NE is some kind of PATETHIC UNDERDOG when they've been washing the floor with professional sports for SOME TIME NOW. ARGG!
I watched Lost for the first time ever last night. Now granted, that makes me just a bit behind, but seriously? This show is just awful DO NOT GET. All the jumping around in time. Whatever.
I'm with you on the writer's strike. I mean, come on. You can only do this shit for so long until people are going to get over your cause and just get pissed. That time is upon us.
And I am so glad husband does not care about NFL football. He thought it was funny when the Cowboys lost, which pleases me greatly.
Long Lost Lost. My most favorite show on earth yet we get so little over such a long time. Did you all see the freaky airline commercial on during Eli Stone (which is pretty good actually)? Hurley and his seeing shit is just WEIRD. I need to go check out the Lost Easter eggs site and the forums so I can hear all the kooky theories! I live for this stuff!!
I agree on the strike - be done with it so I can be entertain DAMMIT! Flip side: I am getting a lot of reading done these days!
No comment on NE (said from Colts country ;)
I miss The Office. It's so much easier to tell my husband stories about stupid people at work when I can use the characters as reference points.
I don't watch Lost but am so glad to be catching up on The Office while it's in reruns! YAY.
I am excited for Jericho's return on 2/13 though, even though it is not going to be at all the same as it was last season, but in your words, whatev.
(I actually said "whatev" outloud to Hub last night and he asked if I was trying to sound like a cool teenager....um, no.)
I was so glad to see something new and good on TV last night that I didn't really mind that Lost was a little on the mediocre side. I mean, it just wasn't one of those BLOW YOU AWAY episodes like they sometimes do(in my opinion, anyway). I do love Lost though, regardless. Did you watch Eli Stone afterwards? I thought...meh.
I have Eli Stone on the DVR! I sincerely HOPE that it's good. I could use a break from the shitty reality programming. The previews kind of remind me of Ally McBeal.
Have not watched Lost yet because my husband was out and made me swear I would wait for him. I did watch Eli Stone though. It was pretty interesting, although not great.
I heard that it was a show all the networks passed on, and now that the writers' strike is dragging on and everyone is pissed about no new shows, they're all, okay, just kidding, we'll take that show after all because it's already written.
I also am excited about Jericho coming back, as someone above mentioned, and also still pissed that Journeyman was cancelled.
C11-JOURNEYMAN WAS CANCELLED? Nooooo! How did this escape my attention?
I never watch either of those shows. Can we still be friends?
Well, TV Thing The Third is the SuperBowl, people! Are you not watching THAT? There's something for everybody here!
I've noticed that there are only two opinions on both LOST and The Office:
1)LOVE IT LOVE IT
2)Don't get it SLASH hate it with every fiber of being
No worries if you're the second type!
I am over the strike, too. So over. We blogger-types should be BEHIND writers, and yet- I want my Office! I want more Pam and Jim drama to feast on!
I have no idea, but I think the other 3 in the "6" are Jin, Sun and Claire.
Jane's comment gave me chills...Jack is Jacob...that is totally the kind of twist they would do on the show.
I can't believe I was thinking the same thing as EW!!!! I rock! haha
Now that I have caught up and am COMPLETELY obsessed with the Office I miss it so much.
Favorite Michael Scott quote from the Casino Night episode: "I consider myself to be a great philanderer"
Oh my Lost, how I have missssssseeeddd you! So first, go to losteastereggs.blogspot.com and you can find all of the things that everyone is talking about and the guy there posts things that have been proven, also theories and rumors and spoilers. All under tabs so you can choose what you want to see. Secondly, Jacob is definitely played by the actor who plays Christian Shepherd (IMBD confirms) and there is a screenshot up at losteastereggs.
Lastly.....seriously....to the person that said "I watched Lost for the first time last night and hated...blah blah blah.." I can totally understand if someone tried to watch the first season and didn't like it...fine..not your bag, whatever. But you cannot watch one episode in Season 4 and expect to "GET" what is going on with all of the flashing around, ya know? Its a highly stylized show, unlike anything else...and regulars know that without those Jumpy Flashes, Lost would be NOTHING!
End rant...ahem....sorry....its really okay not to like something...but first you must understand it, right?
TV Guide has a Strike Watch Blog, too:

I just miss 30 Rock. More than any other show. Sigh.
SIGH.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOST. It's the one show I stop everything for and record.
I live "The Office" every day too.
Hey, I'm a RABID BOSTON SUPAHFAN-oblongata. Although my support for the Patriots probably has less to do with football and MUCH MUCH more to do with Tom Brady's incredibly FOXY face, body, everything. I swear, every time the camera zooms in on his face I get flutters. And have you seen the new Stetson commercial? Picture me with unseemly drool all over my stupid face.
godDAMN that writers strike! I hate it. Can't we all just get along? For the sake of TELEVISION? I mean, if we can't come together over prime time entertainment, then I feel rather pessimistic about the future of humanity in general.
Dude. I'm so blown away by the whole Jacob/Jack's dad business.
All I know is that Ben, all slimy and bloody, COMPLETELY creeps me out.
