Apparently there’s some “severe weather” in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, so I guess I’ll probably miss most of the 7 o’clock show (Destination: Lost, not sure what that’s all about… recap?) and maybe even some of the 8 o’clock premiere.

I hope not, for the good of the community. :mad:

Dude … I’m TiVo’ing “Invasion,” too. 😃 I don’t want to miss a second of it, and after two hours of “Lost,” I’m going to need a cigarette. Oh, and if your Mondays are free, you want to check out “Prison Break.” Not bad. And Wentworth Miller is _totally_ a candidate for Boyfriend.

In my excitement over seeing “Lost,” I’ve got something that’s about 7 inches.

Pizza’s coming out of the oven, got my seat on the couch, a can of Dr. K in front of me, and a group of roommates eager to see what I’m so excited about - and there is a stick in front of me to beat roommates for stupid questions… life is good.

25 minutes to go. Thunderstorms to the north. Weather geeks all over ABC. Very, very nervous.

Can I count on you for bail? Sounds like **SilverFire** may need some assistance too.

I’m a college student so I’ll chip in my share of food money for a week or so, but otherwise you’re on your own.

Is anybody else watching the recap on the NYC market? Because they just broke into programming to tell us about a plane in danger of crashing.

That’s damn creepy.

I really, really, really hope everything turns out alright for the plane, but if they’re going to pre-empt _Lost_ …

Well, that was a hell of a way to open the season. Until the blast I thought they had gone straight into a flashback, and was trying to figure out who that could be.
