In short... the State of the Union address could delay the Lost premiere.

Interesting. It's good to be on the West coast sometimes. I can't remember the last time a show was delayed for any reason, which doesn't seem to be the case in the rest of the country.

Like we needed another reason... Get 'em Smokey!

Both Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse just posted on Twitter that Obama has backed down and Lost will premiere on schedule on Feb 2nd.

Someone from ABC just asked Gibbs (Press Sec. for Obama Administration) about it and he said it would not conflict with LOST.

Obama should mention the show in his address. "Thank you and God Bless America. Now switch over to ABC for the new season of LOST. I know I'm making a beeline back to my room."

Lost WINS!!!

They say it won't conflict, but that's only because they're re-writing the first part of the premiere to be a flash forward of Jack watching the State of the Union address.

This made my day!

Geez, the ranting this is causing on CNN is pathetic.

Yay! Lost wins!

This quote really captures the absurdity of it all:

"But White House press secretary Robert Gibbs assured viewers Friday he 'doesn’t foresee a scenario in which millions of people that hope to finally get some conclusion in ‘Lost’ are preempted by the president.'"

It's a beautiful world.

Obama or Lost? I think obama should do his speech behind close doors like the Healthcare bill is being fashioned.

Some of those quotes on CNN make me wonder how those idiots actually managed to type in www.CNN.com

Read about this on a LOST board I post at. Good to see that LOST won.

I have zero plans to watch Obama anyway.

Obama caved! Why isn't Fox taking advantage of this? "Typical liberal wimp," etc.

Obama could get revenge by spoiling the ending of Lost during the State of the Union. Surely the CIA could find out...

This is fucking awesome! This really made my day!

There were very verbal "YAYs" at work yesterday as an email made it's rounds.

"Madam Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: I know that we are all anxious to see the season premiere of Lost. So I will keep it short today…"
