wow. that's pretty big news. they're moving it to Thursdays... I guess there won't be much original planning as competition but I don't think it's a good idea. Maybe they just don't want to mess their Wednesday 8-10pm schedule.

I'm kind of curious to see where this goes. I'm actually expecting Lost to break out again in the ratings if not really because it will be one of the only scripted shows. An average of less than 14-15 million for season 4 will be a disappointment in my book.

Oh yess!!!

Hmm. I would hate that time slot normally, but it's not like Grey's will be on (obviously, tear) and CSI will be in repeats.

Plus, it won't compete with Survivor.

So...yay.

Works for me. I actually think it's a great night for the show.

Boo, I have class on Thursday night. Boooooo.....

A new season 4 promo.

I'm always surprised at no comments about these promos, considering a lot of people here watch Lost.

daaang. Now that was a promo, I almost feel spoiled. The first one was too jumbled and cut up to comment on, but that gives an actual look on what this season's gonna be. WHAT ARE THESE RESCUERS DOING???

hmm taking over GA's spot. I guess I'll watch it finally. although I have never seen more than 5 minutes of the show before...

Trust me. Lost is not a "casual viewing" kind of show.

Hmm, they used the music from the Cold Mountain trailer.

In any case, it looks truly terrific.

A bit too spoilery, but it looks great.

when can we end the whole kate/jack/sawyer thing. can't she just nail jack and move on.

So I can't just start watching now?

No, you need to see from the very beginning if anything.

It's probably the most serialized show on television at the moment. There have been storylines that have been continuing since the very first season, and the plot is so complex and intricate that I can't imagine just starting in the middle of a random season. It's a phenomenal show - my favorite that is currently on the air - but I highly recommend starting from the beginning.

Yeah, I kind of wish I hadn't watched that promo. It pretty much just told me all the answers to the season finale.

i only saw bits of seasons 1 and 2, but all of season 3. it's hard to catch up, but definitely worthwhile

can't wait for season 4

The long TV spot that was on a minute before midnight was killer - I think if they could ever get more people onboard it's by showing the new direction this show is moving. With so little competition I think it could have the biggest numbers since the beginning of Season Two.

I love Lost. Next chapter in 21 hours.

Wow, it's really tomorrow??
