Lost is changing timeslots again

ABC moves 'Lost' out of 'Idol's' way - CNN.com

This seems like a bad sign. I can't imagine that ABC would want to move one of it's biggest shows to a late timeslot if they thought it was doing well.
I'm just worried because they've started such a complicated story and I don't want them to rush through explaining everything.
I also heard that Matthew Fox (Jack) might not be on the show much longer because apparently he wants to concentrate on movies or some crap.

In all honesty, Lost can't compete with American Idol. There just too many pop culture whores out there.

p.s. I have never seen a single episode of Lost or CIS. Anyone else in this camp?

I'm close. I actually saw one episode of Lost, during the second season, and all I could say was: WTF? I was thoroughly confused. I guess it's the type of show where you need to start from the beginning.

I've never seen a single episode of any of the CSI or Law and Order series. I'm megahooked on Lost though.

Same here. But, if you like shows like CSI I think you would also like my new favorite guilty pleasure TV show, Dexter.
It's on Showtime so they can obviously get away with A WHOLE LOT more than any network show, and that's important because it's a show about a serial killer who also happens to be a blood splatter expert for the Miami police department's forensic unit. The show is great but it's been giving me trippy nightmares because I usually watch it right before bed.

Dexter is the shizz... I seriously love the premise of a serial killer as the protagonist.

Ok, so who saw this week's episode? What's the deal, are Locke and Jacob the same person?

I was actually more struck by the similarities between Locke and Ben.

Both men killed their father on the island. Both seem to be the only two people that Jacob (whoever or whatever he is) was willing to communicate with. After Ben saw that John had killed his father, and he realized that Locke could hear Jacob, Ben probably realized that Locke was meant to take over the camp just as Ben had once done.

I think Ben shot Locke because he was protecting himself.

But if Locke healed from paralysis while on the island, is it possible he'll heal from the gunshot wound? Will he heal and be the key that destroys Ben and his camp?

Who the hell knows, all I know is that episode blew my mind, and Lost is back in a big way.

3 eps ago he appeared in th "magic box ' episode right at the end. This was the episode right after Locke blew up the sub.

Then 2 eps ago it was half way explained that somehow he had been involved in a traffic accident and then woke up on the island.

And yeah, Locke's dad thinks the island is hell.

Yeah, it's eerie how Ben and Locke are similar, and I do think Ben is protecting his power by leaving Locke for dead. However, for some reason, I never saw it coming...

I see the upcoming "war" as similar to the one Ben started to rid himself of his father and the Dharma Initiative. It'll be interesting if we see anymore other flashbacks bringing some closure between that point and the "present". I do think Locke will recover, but now I'm not sure where his loyalties will be. He's more familiar with the Losties, however he has no intentions of leaving the island now...

Yeah I think the parallels bewteen the Dharma Initiative/Hostiles fight and the Others/Losties fight is going to be a main arc.

The main question, beyond what the hell is going on and how it ends, is why?

Why were the Others so aggressive with the Losties from the start? To me that is the root question more so than all the mysteries of the island. They immediately assumed the worst and went directly into battle with a bunch of plane crashed people with whom they had no basis for problems.

why the old non relavent thread??

[hesscl34]

The same person? ... No. Jacob is a spirit..probably the old leader.
