Saw the trailer for it on Channel 4 soon - they are going to be showing it. Interested in watching but the trailer makes it look a little, hmmm, weird!!!!!! Is it good, what do you think?

I saw my first trailer for it last night as well :thumbsup: It's due to start on 10th August :D If you check out the US Drama board, there's quite a few Lost threads with info and opinions etc :thumbsup:

Proceed with caution though, there's an awful lot of spoilers for a Lost newbie ;)

It is good, it's created by J J Abrams of Alias fame, and has a good solid cast. It's weird in parts, think more thriller than supernatural, but I'd definitely recommend it :thumbsup:

Yep, as Lisa said be aware of spoilers.

However, I will very soon be making a C4 specific forum over on US Drama Boards so not spoil newbies to the show, including myself! :)

Can't wait for this to start, been looking forward to it for ages :thumbsup:

I saw the trailer too - it looks great, very intriguing. Can't wait for it to start :thumbsup:

It's about time they decided to show this show over here, i'm well excited.

I saw the E4 advert tonight and I don't know what to think of it personally. I'm just glad that because E4 is now on Freeview that I can see what it is like.

:yahoo: finally ... great news :thumbsup:

Finally saw the trailer last night. Now I can see why people are thinking it's a bit weird. :lol: :lol:

:lol: I must saw this is the weirdest trailer i have ever seen. :fear:

I quite agree. It's like that segment in Matrix: Reloaded where they are all dancing randomly for five minutes. I still can't see the point of it :ponder:

I really like the trailer, yes it will put a few people off, but I'm sure you can all see it's just an arty trailer for an unknown show, that if nothing else, will get people talking about it :lol: :lol:

I really like the trailer too. Even if I hadn't already heard rave reviews for the show I'd probably tune in anyway because I think the trailer's really strange and I'd want to see what it was all about. I just hope it lives up to the hype.

Newsnight Review reviewed it tonight and they were all impressed by it, so it does look like it will be good :)

I caught a newer version of the trailer earlier today on E4 - it's basically the same (people dancing and the Portishead song) but there's a voice over of the various actors and actresses saying things like "one of us is a hero, one of us is a saint, one of us is a murderer" and so on, and ends on "all of us are lost" OSLT. All very intriguing. I actually like this approach to advertising the show - first grabbing the attention of potential viewers with a, quite frankly, weird advert and then slowly revealing more info about the show as it comes closer to the premiere (if that is what they're doing). It certainly got my attention! :thumbsup:

Snap, Paula! I've posted the same thing on the USD board :lmao: I agree it's very clever to start advertising early with a very ambiguous trailer and then gradually update it as it gets closer to the start of the show :thumbsup:

:lmao: I got a wee bit excited when I saw that they'd changed it :blush: (I really should get out more :lol: ). Only 3 weeks to go 'til it starts! Can't wait :thumbsup:

I obviously need to get out more as well cos I got excited when I realised it was a new version :ph43r: :lmao: Ooooooooh, spooky, it's just shown :lmao:

Anyone know how C4 are showing it ? I mean will E4 be an episode ahead or will they show the next episode on E4 straight after the C4 episode like they did with WAT and Shameless ?

Also anyone know what time its on ?

The channel 4 website hasn't put up a start time for the show, but if it's definitely starting on 10 August, which is a Wednesday, then it'll likely be taking over the Desperate Housewives timeslot at 10pm (as Big Brother will be finished by then). Not sure about E4, but maybe they'll run Lost the way they ran DH with the next ep on E4 after the channel 4 showing. But I'm just guessing, maybe someone else knows :shrug: :)

The pilot ep should be double length, so it might be the week after, that they would start showing the next ep on E4, at least that's what I'm presuming :ermm:

Thanks Endgame and Lisa. :)

The 10:00pm slots sounds right although I'm shocked to hear that Big Brother will actually end ! I thought this season was gonna keep going forever ... or does it just feel like that. ;) 10:00pm on wednesday does mean it will clash with The Wire which starts this week and which I was hoping to encourage people to watch but I have a feeling in the rush to watch Lost it will get ... ahem ... Lost. Sorry. :rolleyes:

At the moment, it's scheduled to show at 10pm on C4 with the next episode straight after on E4 :thumbsup:

Oooh, the excitement is building ! :lmao:

It certainly is :thumbsup: Especially as I've had C4 on a bit more recently so have caught quite a few of the trailers now, both the long versions and the little teasers, and each time I still get a little thrill :ph43r: :blush: :lmao:

:lmao: Yep, I think it was on during every ad-break in Big Brother :thumbsup:

Is it wrong to be so excited about a show that I know absolutely nothing about? I guess I really should get out more :blush: :lol:

I quite like the trailer, i saw it in the cinema. It doesn't give anything away but leaves intrigue. I shall be watching it again, i impatiently downloaded it as i couldn't be bothered to wait! But its always good to watch these things again. :)

I like the trailer too :thumbsup:

I saw the version with the voiceover at the cinema and it worked really well, with the voices coming from all directions :thumbsup:

:lol: I hadn't realised that C4 had shown the trailer without the voices :blush:
I was wondering why no-one had mentioned them :lol:

Caught the end of Big Brother, then hung around for the whole ad break to see if I'd see the trailer, and sure enough, it was on. :D

I starting to feel a little left out here as I haven't seen the trailer on C4 once. :( I think I did see it at the cinema but to be honest I wasn't really paying attention. :rolleyes:

If you're really desperate to see the trailer, it's usually on before, during, or after the 10pm Big Brother show on channel 4 :) (or you can download it from the Channel 4 website, although it wouldn't w0rk on my stupid pc :tear: )

Okay, managed to find an ABC trailer for Lost, which shows a bit more about what the shows about, for people who may be a little put off by the C4 trailers. It's about a minute and a half long, but could be construed as a little spoilery, so only click if you're sure

Yay, we get to see the double episode in one fell swoop. First episode on channel 4 at 8.30, second one at 10 and third straight after on E4 :thumbsup: From then on it'll be 10pm weekly on C4 with the next one straight after on E4. There'll be repeats on both channels as well in case you miss it :D

Yay :thumbsup:

I don't know why I'm so excited, I already downloaded and watched the whole series :lol: :lol:

I think it's cos now everyone gets to see what we've been gushing on about and maybe will cease to think of us as slightly insane :lol:

:ponder:

Oi! :lol:

Might be time for Josh Holloway/Michael Fox World Karen :thumbsup: :lol: :lol:
