[The Nth Doctor]

I've seen the guest list for this episode from ABC's press release and based on that alone, this episode is going to be grand!

[The Nth Doctor]

I pity the fool who tries to find the Island!

 

[Agent Richard07]

Just a reminder, there's no episode next week.

Two weeks from now on the 29th, we'll get a repeat of this episode followed by the two-hour finale.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Ah, yeah. Next week is going to suck. No Lost AND no Doctor Who.

 

[label]

Yeah, and you know they're going to end tonights episode on some sort of cliffhanger that will make the extra week's wait even worse..........

 

[Gertch]

Ah, yeah. Next week is going to suck. No Lost AND no Doctor Who.

What??? Just put me in the rubber room now. Wait, Saturday, after this episode and WHO on Friday.

Not Sci-Fi's airing. BBC's airing.

 

[Gertch]

Mr T

Oy! Poll thread spoilers are my job! It's not my fault i was on a two hour lunch this afternoon and got a tad sozzled and then forgot to post my customary spoiler!

Anyway, enough of these shenanigans.

Spoiler: You know the drill

The Frozen Donkey wheel is finally revealed. The Island is actually the same island that Picard and co were going to escape to in First Contact. We are in an alternate universe where that actually happened. The island somehow went back in time via borg nanoprobes and the others are actually the descendants of the Enterprise E crew. The only crewmember still alive is Geordi's Visor which now lives on in Juliette's Hair.

 

[Aragorn]

So what's the deal with...

Spoiler

Jack joining the racing circuit when he retuns to the States, driving car No. 9 under the name Racer X? It's almost as strange as Son and Jin's child coming back in time as an adult to take over Wolfram and Hart.

 

[that1guy]

No Lost next week? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[sidious618]

Ah, yeah. Next week is going to suck. No Lost AND no Doctor Who.

And no BSG.

 

[diefledermaus]

very excited for tonight and the 29th, not excited to wait until next year for new LOST. f'in abc.

 

[auntiehill]

Sweeeeeeeet. I can't wait to see tonight's episode.

Sigh.

Next YEAR for the new season? Crumbs.

 

[diefledermaus]

i'm not entirely sure when it's returning, or how many episodes we get, what with the strike and all. i do know that the season 4 dvd doesnt come out til december, which probably pushes back season 5

 

[The Evil Dead]

Jesus, that was all setup, and I loved every minute of it.

It's going to be a long two weeks.

 

[PsychoPere]

Going with a good ol' "Above Average" for this one. Can't wait to see how everything plays out that was started in this episode.

 

[Mr Light]

3.25/4

Setup, setup, setup. Nothing happened. Exciting enough I suppose, mainly for the flashfowards. But what happened in the present? Just people learning stuff we already knew. Didn't even see the damn Orchid. Not any new information revealed really...

I'm guessing it's Sayid in the coffin. Nadia is dead, the O6 learn he's a Ben Assassin so Kate hates him. Either that or Hurley but why would Kate hate him?
