Obama is holding a one-hour press conference before Lost. It may run overtime or it may not. Last time he did this, he managed to finish on time.

 

[Brent]

Uh Oh, if it runs over think they will hold Lost and not cut part of it off?

Uh Oh, if it runs over think they will hold Lost and not cut part of it off?

For primetime network stuff, they never cut part of it off. They'll just delay the start time.

So, regarding this episode, are we actually going to get some solid answers about the Island? Is this going to be Lost's version of BSG's "No Exit"? Because the press release sounds somewhat promising.

 

[Trippy]

I thinks we'll get solid answers about Faraday and the time travel...I hope anyway

T-3 hours!

 

[Brent]

I hope we get to see what Faraday was doing off island

 

[Agent Richard07]

He's done on schedule.

 

[Capn Flukie]

Here we go!

What a long couple of Lost-less weeks it's been. This is awesome. Also, Sonya Walger's hot even in extreme distress.

 

[Hober Mallow]

Okay, East Coasters, spoil away. How's the teaser?

 

[Gertch]

I didn't realize how much I missed this show after one week.


Whoa, she was wrong.

What a cut to the Star Trek teaser.

 

[cubbie]

It was my density...

ooh star trek!

 

[Jaron]

That's not very encouraging.

 

[Hober Mallow]

I didn't realize how much I missed this show after one week.

Hell, a week between episodes is torture.

 

[Capn Flukie]

Holy crap, a Trek XI clip to boot!

 

[DeafPoet]

Teaser's good, but Daniel's cryptic shit is getting old. I have a feeling my complaint's about to be rendered moot.

 

[cubbie]

run... kirk... run!

 

[cubbie]

A new trek clip too! Excellent!

 

[DeafPoet]

Ah you American bastards! No Trek XI goodness here in the Great White.

 

[Gertch]

Nice Trek teaser. But the lens flares. What's up with that?
