Lost

Slainte Mhath:

I was a little ticked off at the repeat since I don’t remember them saying “In two weeks” after the last episode, but maybe I just missed it. It does make perfect sense to repeat the Sawyer-centric episode with pop-up video though as they’ve been repeating the previous week’s episode with pop-ups at 8:00pm anyway for several weeks. Ah well, at the very least it got me to watch most of Scrubs, which was funny.

I was kind of sad at the rerun as well.

Next week has two new episodes. Then they will again skip a week before resuming with two new episodes again on April 1. After that, it will be one new show each of the remaining two weeks.

Whenever they mess with the schedule it’s always about sweeps.

Tracy_Baker · 2009-03-12T10:29:48.000Z

We can blame the FCC, because sweeps were supposed to be in February but got pushed to March because of the DTV transition that was scheduled but never actually took place.

Russ · 2009-03-18T06:49:18.000Z

Well, they’ve changed up the schedule again. According to IMDB, it looks like there will only be one new episode tonight and only one remaining week without a new show this season. That single gap will be the week prior to the season finale.

Dammit all to puss gutted blood spewing hell. Would somebody please take the markers and schedule sheets away from those morons? Now I have to check and make sure that my latest schedule build reflects this.

It’s odd because when they announced the 16 episode seasons they were promising that they wouldn’t miss weeks.

That was mostly because it played hell with the ratings. But I guess they can’t help tinkering.

I had read somewhere that the reason for scheduling changes happened because sweeps periods were changed this year due to the planned digital switchover.

Wow, I had no idea Feb sweeps were pushed back this year.

Reminded me of The Shining when he showed them the 1977 photo.

Ethan as the baby took me by surprise.

jerri_blank · 2009-03-18T20:36:24.000Z

Is there ANY explanation for why Sun didn’t time-jump to 1977 with the rest of the O6?
And yeah, Ethan surprised me too.

dwinn · 2009-03-18T20:49:32.000Z

Sweet! Now I know the source is reputable!

She may not have replicated her original journey accurately enough. They were supposed to replicate the circumstances of the first doomed flight as closely as possible. Maybe without Jin she could not accomplish this. Or maybe she just sat in a window seat instead of on the aisle or something.

zengonzo · 2009-03-19T07:56:40.000Z

Man, that replicating the journey stuff … There were so many factors that would have mucked that up. It really strikes me as fluff. What was the point, even? I mean, allegorically.

Juliet told her that she got pregnant on the island, correct? Because my first thought was that if not, could the difference be that she was not pregnant this time?

Or was Juliet lying to her for God knows what reason, so she was pregnant on the first flight?

Or I could be thinking too hard about this.
