Um...Kate......it's TV.

They are just actors. It is all just pretend to them. They just read what someone puts in front of them.

Or is that Layton and Dion and Gore?

Ahhh but thats part of the mystery, isn't it?

3 years to us but only a few months to them. And thank god it's back.

Only a half-hour to go.

I just checked this out. After the trailer, I tried to close the window and something that has never happened before did:

The "LOST" windows just kept multiplying at a furious rate. I tried to X them out, to no avail. By the time I turned off my computer, a few seconds later, I think I must have had at least 50 windows--and counting--opening up on my screen. It was like a nightmare!

Really. (When I turned on my computer, I felt nervous: is there another LOST window going to jump out at me?!)

Any explanations, tecchies out there?

the fat guy shoulda lost it in the first coupla shows.
then again, cripples walk, dead folk appear...

was it an Air Canada flight?

Why would he lose weight? The Dharma Initiative has been dropping tonnes of food for them every month or so.

You have such a way of putting things Kate. ROFL

I love it.

I don't even need a beer to make this the best pub in the country. (I'll be the DD)

Must be a conspiracy...and a Greek one too.

OPA baby and bring on the Uzo & frwied formage.

(hmm, am I allowed to mix all these ethnic cultures together without a prime time TV slot?)

LOOKOUT, had that happen in my email today, over 40 (exact same one) from a feedback forum of the Montreal Gazette. Almost feel bad for giving them proper shit for spamming me.

lookout... Had the same thing happen a few days ago. It went to 50 copies, as I deleted more would come. Took a while but finally it stopped. I wonder if it is a vista thing?

Top Ten reasons the fat boy is still here.

1)he sat on an airhose?
2)he won the pie eat in Stand By Me?
3)high calorie bamboo?
4)three words- on the take
5)he is entitled to his entitlements(taken in calories)

6)he had bbq at Hedy Frys , hot tongue and cold shoulder.
7)two words. Liberal Trough
8)CBCpravda- Canadian Bacon Corporation
9)he is keeping up with Sheila Copps.
10)he whined for food more than Danny Williams.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. At least I feel I haven't been singled out!

cal2, good laughs. Thanks.

Also, he found beer in season three. That can't have helped.

truthsayer - nope.

Using XP here.

Lookout it is a Vista thing. It happens when I try to close out of a window before it is fully loaded. I find starting task manager and repeatedly clicking end task the IE windows close. Saves re-booting.

More like three seasons on a desserted island.

They say that the camera adds ten pounds. Maybe they have big cameras.

Joe, I don't know if I copy--e.g, process, that-- but many thanks.

Thanks for the heads up, Kate. I would have missed the opener were it not for your post.

I watched Gilligan's Island years ago. Why do they keep rehashing old television premises? I think this theme has been worked over enough.

The guy’s so fat it takes two dogs to bark at him.

If you watched the "catch up" finale of last year, they had a sort of running commentary at the bottom. Based upon the time stamp of the crazy french woman's distress call, they've been on the island for 91 days.

LOST is mysterious, evocative, and enthralling. Easily the best hour on TV these days.

And for those with the annoying "pop-up" problem, there's a simple (and free!) one word solution: Firefox.

Just for the record, I despise "Lost" and incidentally "Cloverfield" as well. J.J. Abrams can kiss my ass.

In the case of Lost, a good mystery leaves clues that allow an astute viewer to figure it out on their own. Lost, on the other hand, consistently leaves one hanging, with absolutely no clue as to what is going on. Big deal.....it bores and annoys me.

Cloverfield....I don't even know where to begin. Let's just leave the warning "may induce vomitting" and leave it at that.

There's only one reason the fat guy is still there.
He tests well in polls of viewers who seem to like the cuddly bunny lard ass.

BTW - this show sucks wormy apple cores!

It is low mark in the devolution of fiction that is entirely aimed at people with short attention spans and NO ability to think critically or actually recognize a plot.

The use of the disconnected plot lines and random references to one freakish fantasy after another in a bad imitation of stream of consciousness style is nothing but the result of writers too stupid and weak to actually develop a plot.

Every last person I've talked to who likes the show actually thinks that this is a sign of Great and Imaginatively creative writers..... and NONE of them EVER read actual books.

And so .... It sells.

OMMAG - what network television shows currently being broadcast do you feel is superior?

Me, I pick that crap that doesn't stink as bad. Too bad it's all crap. In other words, Lost is the best of the worst.

Too bad they cancelled Firefly.

The only prejudice still acceptible to our society now is making fun of fat people, It affects our ability to get jobs,and people percieve us as easy targets for ridicule based on nothing more than our outward appearance. AND its increasing with the medical community pushing body image and fitness. Well, its just not quite that simple for a lot of us that are fat, quite a few of us having an eating compulsion,(if youre an alcoholic you can go to AA and totally quit drinking and not have another, but the last time I checked most of us just cant turn off eating totally), or have a physical disability that prevents us from doing activities to help us with weight control.
It is time to stop the weight and size discrimination and the belittleing of every fat person by making sterotypical statements about fat people

Shane --- CSI the original set in Las Vegas.
Nice tight writing ... solid character development and creative plots and plot development.
Although it's getting a little tiresome watching all the flagrant technical miscues....
Weeds!
Dead Like Me!
Without a Trace!

Oh, Brian stop! I wasn't making fun of him, I was making fun of the series.

Had the same thing happen a few days ago. It went to 50 copies, as I deleted more would come. Took a while but finally it stopped. I wonder if it is a vista thing?

Use Firefox, problem gone.

Good TV?

Dexter.

Apparently it's going to start showing this month on CTV.

The show's concept made me uncomfortable but it was compelling. Watch it and you'll see what I mean.

No fair looking for the spoilers on the web.
