    Here's an interesting article about Naveen Andrews:

    http://film.guardian.co.uk/features/featurepages/0,,2252597,00.html

    I had no idea he was dating Barbra Hershey. In fact I haven't even really thought of her much since Hoosiers and the Natural.

    Damn she looks really good for almost being 60! Tap dat ass Naveen!

    ANYWAY.. I'm having great difficulties remembering who Kelvin was.

    Also someone earlier made a reference to a name meaning "candle". The Asian guy, on the Dharma initiation films, the one that explained what the bunkers are for, is named Dr. Candle.

    I know they didn't give Miles (the Asian ghost hunter) last name, but someone else's translated to candle (is it Lapidus?). Either way, could be yet another clue.

    I thought Miles last name was Strong or Strom?? Did I make that up?

    Ah nice, I forgot about when Ben listed their names.. Nice catch!

    What about this Kelvin person? I'm totally "lost" as to who he was..

    Kelvin was the guy in the hatch before Desmond showed up.

  • I would have to think "Charlotte" is bens man on the boat. couple things the losties missed ... why was she wearing a bullet proof vest? you want to know why? because like sawyer told locke, ben has the whole thing planned out already.
    I don't want to be hostile. I don't want to be dismal. But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.

    From what I've been reading on the internet, it looks like we might get 6 more episodes of Lost this season. It also looks like Lost won't change time slots for now. As we may only get 4 or 5 new Grey's episodes and ABC is thinking of running them after Lost is down their 8 episode run and then bringing back the rest of Lost to close the tv season.

    GOOD TO BE BACK

    Hi everyone-

    It's been a while and I just wanted to say a quick hi. I'm sure most of you are as happy as I am that the show is back on the air. I didn't realize how much I missed it! Actually I just got back from a trip to Sydney, Australia and was amazed to find so many LOST fans there. I have to say, it was nice to see the REAL airport where our fake flight was to have originated. :)
    I had a great time though, and to my new Aussie friends, thanks for making me feel so welcome.

    I have a question for all of you as well:
    When you look at my profile page, does it look the way it used to? I clicked on it the other day, and on my computer the main image and logo are gone, leaving just this weird blue space. Is it just me or are you seeing it, too? Can you let me know?
    And if so, do you have any suggestions on where I can go to re-design my profile? My original designer seems to have disappeared, so I'm open to suggestions.

    Well, that's it for now. Look for a Jin and Sun-centric episode coming up in March, and until then, see you here!

    nice.

    so does anyone know...
    with the writer's strike ending, can we still get our other 8 episodes for a full season? or is that no longer a possibility...

    on gma saturday they said shows like grey's *might* get a season finale but most would be lucky to be returning in the fall ontime...

    Check my post I made a little while ago. Nothing official yet, but from what I read this is the way ABC is leaning.

    I just read that they were hoping for a total of 13 episodes for this season....that's better than nothing. The same article mentioned that some shows' first run episodes might extend beyond the customary end of May= the end of the TV season.

    If we get less episodes this season does it mean that they'll condense the season into 13 episodes or will they just cut the season short as is and pick up where they left off last time?

    If that makes any sense at all...

    i'm all for as many episodes as they can crank out this season, but my only question is - how will that screw up the 16 episode per season story arc? if we got 13 out of 16 planned episodes, that would be about 80% of the planned story for season 4. what i am trying to say is that the writers/producers had a 16 episode season planned out with the season 4 finale (cliffhanger) for episode 16...what happens now? do we get the last episode that they can film (#13?) and then just wait for the next one (#14?) next february? that would kind of suck. it would be like ben talking about taking locke to jacob's cabin and then waiting 8 months instead of a week for them to get there. or charlie's greatest hits and then waiting 8 months to have him dive down to the looking glass.

    i know what you are trying to say. i guess i was thinking my post out a little too long and you beat me too it.

    i would have to think that as detailed as the writers/producers are they won't condense or take any short cuts.

    I'm pretty sure since they signed on to do 48 episodes starting with the premiere this year - that any episode that is lost this year do to the strike will be added on to a future season.

    So let's say they do 13 episodes this season, then next season would have 19.

    At least that's what I think will happen.

    Either that or they'll be split over the next two seasons (18 next and 17 the final season or vice versa). And I think even with a shortened season this year, they would find some point at which to create a sensible ending/ starting point for next season.

  • ....or what if we get up thru episode 13 to conclude the tv season, and then they release epis 14-16 altogether as a movie this summer! ;)

    I really don't care how they split it up cause nothing will ever be good enough. If we get all 16 episodes in a row, I'll still want more.
