> [@middleman](#): > > 1. Over- A few lookie-loos will pop in for the water cooler effect. Not many more though. Wouldn’t be surprised to be wrong on this one. I won’t be watching the show but I’ll be reading the thread. I didn’t watch after season three but I’ve enjoyed reading about it, here and elsewhere. I’m kicking myself for not sticking with it, but I lost faith. What’d really be cool for us lookie-loos – and I know it’s a lot to ask – is if someone would post a brief recap early in the thread. That’d be awesome. ---

A good recap thread can be found the next morning on the Lost page of Entertainment weekly. Even if someone provides it here, you’ll probably enjoy that one too. ---

Nothing to say, except LOST wouldn’t have been the same without all of you these last six years. It was always my first destination after each episode. Let’s all sit back and have fun as the rubber meets the road… ---

In for a penny, in for a pound. I’ve become increasingly pissed off with this show over the past season or two, but I’m still going to be oddly sad to see it end. And I’ll add my voice to those thanking **Trion** and **John Mace** for the threads, which I think I’ll miss a lot more than I miss the actual show. ---

I forget who it was, but I believe “Defcon Penguin” to be one of the best phrases to come out of this forum. And yes, thanks **Trion** and **John Mace**! ---

> [@fusoya](#): > > One of my friends just started watching the show, and he was complaining about how Locke is on the cover of TV guide, so he knows that he’s still alive until the last episode. I just had to laugh and tell him “with any other show, that would be a good assumption to make. But I can assure you that Locke does not make it to the last season without dying. You’ll understand when you catch up” Tell him that he’s playing a twin…but not John Locke’s twin. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > 2 hour recap. > 2 1/2 hour episode. > JK Live. You are correct. 4 1/2 hours blocked off for it not including Jimmy Kimmel. So, a serious block of network time taken up for this. I see why Sunday makes sense. ---

Thanks for six years of discussion on LOST! I stopped watching somewhere in season three, but ducked into the threads now and then to see what was happening. 🙂 Started back up this season to see how it all ends. I hope they end it well. _crosses fingers_ Also: more thanks to **Trion** and **John Mace**! The indexes have been especially helpful and awesome. ---

Another one checking and thanking \*\*John Mace \*\*and **Trion** for starting these threads each week. I’ve never participated much in them but I’ve been a big fan of the show and I’ve loved reading all the reactions and speculation from fellow Dopers. You’ve all made the show immeasurably more entertaining. Random thought: I’ve been watching the interview/recap show and it occurs to me that I’ve never heard Naveen Andrews speaking in his real voice before. I knew he was actually British but he sounds _nothing_ like Sayid to me. ---

Hey guys. In it with y’all tonight. On my parents’ 24" mono audio RF connected TV. Ah, what I do to come visit family. ---

“Why don’t you come down off the mountaintop and tell us what the burning bush had to say for itself?” Sawyer gets such great lines. ---

Sawyer: “Doesn’t sound like Jacob said anything about anything.” Hurley: “That’s kind of true, dude. He’s worse than Yoda.” 🙂 ---

I’m so glad someone finally openly mocked the ridiculousness of the name “Christian Shephard.” ---
