Hi all.

I have avoided this thread like the PLAGUE for the past 12 months. The reason: I got married last year and missed the last 5 episodes of series three while on honeymoon.

Anyway, when I got back I never got around to downloading the episodes I missed and ended up avoiding series 4 and started watching Heroes instead.

Anyway, I Skyplussed all of season 4 to date and last weekend I downloaded the second half of season three.

In the last couple of days the missus and me have been watching 4 episodes a night and now I'm about half way through season 4 and will probably be fully up to date by the time the season finale is aired.

Have to say, I'm absolutely LOVIN IT! The best, repeat best, way to watch Lost is back to back. It used to annoy the hell out of me having to wait another week to catch the next episode but watching them back to back means that it makes a hell of a lot more sense.

Anyway, last night I watched the episode where Michael returns and it turns out that Tom is a closet fruit....who the hell would have thought that! I nearly fell off the couch laughing when I saw Tom with the Hispanic gigolo!

As an aside, who here watches Heroes? I got the box set at Xmas and watched it back to back over a few nights. Series One was EXCELLENT, much like Lost in many ways, although series 2 is struggling to get going.

i think series 4 of lost is the best by a long way. i've got them all burnt to dvd and one day will find the time to see them all back to back - probably when i'm about 65. i watched the first series of heroes but have seen nothing of the second. i really enjoyed it at first but once a missed an episode and was playing catch up i began to lose interest.

The second one is not great so far andy but apparently gets better.

Season One was a belter.

[woof woof !]

Welcome back to the TV stuff JB, guess the honeymoon is finally over ?

I watched Heroes but can take it or leave it TBH. Agree with your comment about watching Lost "back to back" , although that could apply to quite a few series it's particularly pertinent to a series like Lost which (especially now) drags you all over the place in time and place.

In case you missed it, another series worth watching is "Jericho" , the USA is Nuked, no ones sure who did it, first series is fairly standard fare, survivors start to sort out their act etc, but the second series gets really interesting as various self proclaimed republics and governments/corporations vye for power.

Yeah JBG got absolutely hooked on Heroes first season and cant believe how totally, I lost interest with the second series. Completely underwhelmed by first part of series 2, hopefully it will pick up again.

Haven't they been found yet?

[JBG]

Haven't they been found yet?

Yes! 

[GOAT]

Brilliant series finale.

Best series yet methinks

[jonnymac1979]

Took the afternoon off work today to get home and watch this.  By far the best programme I've ever seen on telly, even beating The X-Files and 24 (Season 6 of 24 was shat...)

[Bad Bob]

How many regular cast members has this showed managed to kill off in four years?  Keeps everything interesting because no one is safe.  Oh the humanity!

[jonnymac1979]

One for JBG...

Very first episode of Lost, the Oceanic 815 Pilot who the smoke monster wastes in the pilot episode is the same actor who plays the FBI agent that can read minds in Heroes who's wife cheated on him.

Aye, Greg Grunberg.  Was on Alias as well.  Started off as the schlub spy until he scored some tasty totty in the form of Mia Maestro:

THE OPENING ACT
FROM THE ORIGINAL,
UNUSED TELEPLAY
OF LOST'S PILOT
EPISODE.
BY ANDREW BRIDGMAN
- - - -

JACK: OK, everyone, gather round. I'm Jack. We crashed on this island. I'm kind of an alcoholic, and I had a really complicated relationship with my father, Christian, who was also an alcoholic.

CLAIRE: Christian Shepherd? That's my dad, too!

JACK: No way!

SAWYER: Oh, yeah, I know that guy, too. I met him at a bar. He's proud of you.

JACK: You met my dad?

SAWYER: Yeah, I met him right before I killed this guy I thought had ruined my life as a child. He was a con man who went by "Sawyer" and had an affair with my mother and then my dad found out and killed her and himself. It was ugly.

LOCKE: No way! That sounds just like my dad! He stole my kidney and then paralyzed me.

KATE: Paralyzed people can't walk.

LOCKE: Don't tell me what I can't do! I can walk now, obviously. I think this island is magic or something crazy like that.

KATE: Know what else is crazy? I killed my stepdad, who was actually my dad, by blowing up the house he was in. Then I went on the run for a long time. That marshall guy that's dying there was taking me to the U.S. to put me in jail.

(The "monster noise" is heard in the jungle.)

CHARLIE: What was that, mates?

HURLEY: I think it was a monster made of smoke that's floating around for some reason.

CHARLIE: That's bloody weird. Almost as bloody weird as me being a heroin addict due to my rock band, DriveShaft, and my brother, Liam.

HURLEY: Oh, yeah, you guys were popular right around the time I won the lottery thanks to some cursed, mysterious, omnipresent numbers. You guys suck.

SUN: Ha! They totally do.

SHANNON: You speak English?

SUN: Yeah, I do. Hey, Jin.

JIN: (Something in Korean.)

SUN: I speak English. I also had an affair with a bald guy, who taught it to me, then he killed himself, or maybe I killed him. But you can't blame me, right? You used to be a really nice guy before we got married and I paid off a blackmail debt to your prostitute mother by taking a loan from my father, which led him to make you his guy who beat the out of people, which destroyed your soul. I hope we reconcile and you gradually learn English. Wanna go in that tent and see if we can get me knocked up?

JIN: ... Boat?

(JIN and SUN go into their tent.)

SAYID: While they're doing that, we should try to figure out how to get off this island. I need to get back to Nadia, this chick I used to like and who I sorta tortured once. I'm from Iraq. Did I mention that?

MICHAEL: No. Hey, where'd Walt go?

SAYID: Oh, some grungy-lookin' pirates took him.

MICHAEL: WAAAAAAALT! WAAAAAAALT! I wanted to be there for him, but his mom was a bitch and took him away from me. I'm trying to get to know him now. Sucks that he got kidnapped.

LOCKE: Hey, while you guys were talking, I found some door in the jungle.

JACK: Did you open it?

LOCKE: Yeah, there was a Scottish guy in there, and I made him stop pressing some button. It just exploded and released a bunch of electromagnetic energy, so the island is visible to the outside world again.

DESMOND: Hi, bruthas. I'm Desmond. I can kinda see the future. Charlie, you're gonna die.

CHARLIE: OK, I'll go swim to an underwater station so we can all get rescued.

DESMOND: Sounds good. Then I can reunite with this chick I liked but got separated from due to her father's meddling. It was kinda like The Notebook.

ROUSSEAU: I found this guy in the jungle.

BEN: My name is Henry Gale!

SAYID: Really?

BEN: No, it's Benjamin Linus. I'm an Other, which means I'm part of this group of people who were on the island before you guys. I was initially part of the DHARMA Initiative, but it was purged by me and other people who have been on the island a long time and may or may not be immortal. It's complicated.

ROUSSEAU: They whisper.

BEN: Right. I'm really manipulative. If you help me escape, Michael, I'll give you back Walt. He makes birds run into doors. I don't like that and neither does Jacob, the cabin-ghost guy who runs this island.

MICHAEL: OK. (Shoots off into the distance.) I just killed Libby and Ana Lucia. Trust me, they're on the other side of the island. Tail section.

BEN: OK, here's Walt back. Get on this boat and then go sneak onto the freighter that's coming to kill us.

MICHAEL: OK.

(MICHAEL and WALT get on the boat and sail off.)

ALEX: Hey, Dad, what're you doing here?

BEN: Hi, Alex, this is your mother.

ROUSSEAU: Hey, I've been looking for you for 16 years.

ALEX: Weirdo.

JACK: Hey, Kate.

KATE: Yeah?

JACK: Pick me or Sawyer.

KATE: Who's Sawyer?

SAWYER: Me.

KATE: Oh, OK. I dunno. Sawyer, I guess.

SAWYER: Thanks, Freckles.

BOONE: I'm gonna go die now.

LOCKE: Yeah, the island's been saying it demands a sacrifice. Go for it, kid.

(First commercial break.)
