One of our theories: apparently vindicated. Discuss! ---

Which theory? I haven’t seen the previews - please spill! Yay - Lost is back soon! ---

Locke, apparently in a panic and seeming to be off his feet, declares (paraphrased), “The island gave me something and now it’s trying to take it back!” I will now be working on perfecting that time machine, as waiting until next week has become a physical impossibility. ---

I won’t read the spoilers, but I just want to say that the way they’ve chopped this season up, I’ve completely lost interest in “Lost.” Ditto for Desperate Housewives. The programmers at ABC need to smacked repeatedly with a half-thawed herring. ---

Wow. I thought we had at least 2 more weeks of repeats, but you’re right-- it’s a new episode next week. I can’t wait! ---

Isn’t that sort of schedule the standard way that shows are presented? There are 22 episodes per season, so even ignoring 13 weeks during the summer, you can’t have new episodes 17 weeks out of the year. And because of the system of sweeps periods, the networks save the new episodes for certain months. This is the way things have been for as long as I can remember. ---

You know what was really interesting about the preview? Locke was looking up at something as he lay on the ground, and from the angle I think it was The Monster. ---

I wondered if anyone would post about the preview. Yeah, it looked good and it’s a Locke episode! I can’t wait!
