The LOST thread

[AMightyCaporal]

I just finished season 4... 17 episodes of season 5 then a few in season six... i'm totally going to be caught up for the finale!

oh, I came up with a little something:

[el_chode]

Welp, there goes my LOST experience. Thanks ABC

[Ghosts_on_TV]

Welp, there goes my LOST experience. Thanks ABC

Why?

[AMightyCaporal]

abc and cablevision are greedy and so now they have a beef... the end result being that cablevision is no longer airing any abc channels

[el_chode]

yeah, well depends on the angle you take on it.

legally, cablevision has to air ABC, but ABC doesn't have to air on cablevision.

Based on my general distaste and distrust for anything Disney, I find myself taking cablevision's side in the debacle. Also, since I've also had Comcast and Cablevision hasn't fucked me nearly as hard as Comcast (or TimeWarner for that matter), I still take their side.

Though I'm skeptical...first it was FoodNetwork and HGTV, now ABC with literally the same dispute? Is it the NYC market that makes the stations greedy? Or is it a failure to keep pace with market rates that makes Cablevision cheap.

Thank goodness for Hulu and bit torrent sites.

Serious answer: That doesn't help me at the time of airing!

Super-serious cynic's answer: ABC deserves to have their programming pirated for pulling this crap. It just sounds like Mickey Mouse is grubbing for money

Follow-up-super-serious-I'm-not-kidding-post-related-to-the-cynical-post: They're considering opening a LOST theme park.

No, but epi's usually appear on btjunkie almost immediatly after the East/Central feed.

Lost theme park? Uhhhh can I ride on Charlotte?

[el_chode]

Charlotte!? I do not like her! Juliet, please. Then Claire. Kate is just too freaking annoying.

Anyway, I was thinking while running today, I'm going to torrent. I've never really done that for TV shows, and its because the industry generally reacts to demand much better than music.

But I really hate Disney. And this'll teach 'em good. Plus I figure as a Cablevision subscriber, they're not gonna play ball easily for a DMCA request

[mjkoehler]

Charlotte!? I do not like her! Juliet, please.

Charlotte has the triple threat- Freckles, amazing accent, and RED HAIR. Juliet would be the second choice.

I've done a few shows via torrent since they are not available in Region 1 DVD.

But her head is shaped like a peanut!

Anyway, ABC caved. We're good to go. Unfortunately, this means I have to endure the Oscars tonite

[dcdub]

I'm with chode on this one, she is weird looking. Juliet all the way. Naomi was hot, too bad she's dead

[kydiddle]

I don't think fake Locke (or my favorite nickname for him: "Flocke") is 100% evil. I think there are varying degrees of evil between him and Jacob. He is out to destroy Jacob/the island more than he wants to ruin peoples' lives and mess with fate, all that jazz.

I read a theory online where someone speculated that Sawyer killed himself in his house and when Flocke found him and asked him to go with him, he was dead. Meh. Not sure if I buy it.

Great show.

Naomi is beautiful. Juliet got on my nerves sometimes, but is MUCH better looking than Charlotte. Yikes.

[mjkoehler]

Y'all can hate Charlotte all you want. More for me to love then.

I don't think we know who is "evil" and who is good yet. We are all getting played.

[AMightyCaporal]

I found a picture of charlotte...

Oh, and I, uh, I was abducted by aliens last night and I have a pet unicorn.
