No new episode next week. The season finale isn't until May.

You sure? I thought it was next week. Then again, I refuse to watch the "coming next week" previews, so I probably missed something.

According to TiVo, "Lost" has the following upcoming episodes:

4/13 "Special" - Michael and Locke clash over Walt's upbringing, which leads to violence and a reappearance of the mysterious island beast.

4/20 "Outlaws" - Kate and Sawyer bond as they search for a wild boar that Sawyer swears is harrassing him; Hurley and Sayid worry that Charlie is losing it after his brush with death; a shocking prior connection between Sawyer and Jack is revealed.

It could be wrong, but it usually isn't.

According to Futon Critic's calendar, the last "Lost" is set to air May 25, with the two hour finale.

Those "Lost" episodes in the next two weeks are reruns. Or, that is, the episode descriptions sound like reruns.

Okay, I just watched episode 2 (thank god they're doing a summer repeat of this, cuz I totally missed the boat before). The show was pretty intriguing, until they recieved that mysterious transmission.

Now this thing has got me by the fucking BALLS

I always was a sucker for "mysterious transmissions" Very Happy

Dude - just wait till the fouth (I think) episode - the one that focuses on mysterious John Locke.

The kung fu nutgrip will be unavoidable.

NEW EPISODE TOMORROW NIGHT!

well, new to me, anyway.

I read somewhere else that the Lost DVDs will have deleted scenes. Greg Grunberg (the pilot) is supposed to be in at least one. I wonder if they will film any with Michelle Rodriguez? (I think that is the new cast member's name)

The DVD set will include a new short thingy filmed directly for the DVD, in which we see what happened in the plane right before the crash. Should be fun.

Ah, it's so cute to see people all excited about how great this show is before it develops X-Files syndrome.

Well, McKay's only seen the pilot so far. At that point, it certainly seemed like a smart, well-plotted show whose mysteries had rational explanations that would be revealed at the appropriate time. And it may very well have been that when it first started. It took a month or so to really start to evolve into a well-acted but otherwise ridiculous mess.

I watched it dutifully every week, and I'll continue to do so next season, but -- -show's a fucking cheater. And a blue-baller. In a big way.

I feel silly asking this...

I know what blue balls mean in the conventional slang, but how do you apply it to a TV show? Is it supposed to mean it gets you all worked up and excited about something with no quick pay off? I can kind of understand that, I guess, considering all the dangling threads after the finale.

y2mckay · Posted: Fri Jun 17, 2005 9:07 am Post subject:

That's exactly what it means.

Is there a female equivalent of Blue balls? Very Happy

I thought Men were always the ones complaining that the sex stops when the marriage begins.

Only in sitcoms, my friend. The only show to ever get it right was "Married With Children."

But anyway, about "Lost," maybe I'm being too naive, but I actually trust the guys running this show. Not Abrahms, but the actuall guys running it, like Lindehoff (sp?) and Fury, who, according to every interview out there, are very aware of "X-files" syndrome, and as fans themselves, will do what they can to avoid it.

I can't deny that it's been a "blue ball" fest so far, but it's only been one season, and I have a feeling we'll get some nice payoffs next year. Or maybe I'm just a sucker.

And EVERYONE should be catching up with "Veronica Mars" this summer. Not only is Kristin Bell the hottest piece of ass on TV, but that show is an absolute blast.

I sure did.

Made me laugh (uh-lot.)

About 10 minutes later I was flipping through the channels and AMC was running Office Space.
