Anyone else ready for a new _Lost_ episode??? Well, the big question this week has to be: Who will be “lost forever”, and does that mean the person dies? I’m guessing it’ll be one of the minor characters-- either Rose, Bernard, or Blonde Tail-section chick. Could it be WAAAAAAALT!!? I think I’ll institute a new drinking game in my “Lost” group: everyone does a shot every time Michael yells “WAAAAALT!” From the on-screen guide regarding this episode: ”Abandoned”, A wounded Sawyer might not survive a trek through the jungle with Michael, Jin and the tail-section survivors. Some useful links are given below.

When I give up this show, it’s not only going to be due to the screwy schedule, the five minutes of previouslies, and the thirty minutes per episode of commercials are going to weigh in rather heavily as well. ---

> [@BiblioCat](#): > > No frigging kidding. It’s been so long since we had a new episode, I can barely remember who _Waaaaaaalt!!!_ is. I won’t spoiler box this since ABC has been showing comercials about it every 10 minutes… but, you’ll get a reminder of who he is in this epsidoe. Looks like Shannon has another “vision”. I wonder if the tribes will complete the merge this episode, and who will get immunity. Considering the teaser about someone being “lost forever”, it would seem that getting voted off the island has more serious consequences in this season of Survivor! ---

So, this is the episode where Shannon dies I guess. I hope all of the spoilers are wrong and we get a shocking surprise. Why couldn’t it be AL instead? ---

The damn schedule is what I hate most about this show. Apparently they haven’t figured out that the more they mess with it, the more viewers drop out. Of course, the failure to answer 95% of the questions raised so far might have something to do with it, too. Waaaaaaaaaalt! ---
