Lost Is Back, With Character


article (beware of the spoilers)

Does anyone keep up with the US episodes here or do you all just wait for channel 4 to air it?

I watch 'em live on US (well Canadian) TV :)

And it was well worth the wait :)

I know a few of us here have already watched 3x01, myself included. It was fantastic!

I cannot wait for next weeks episode :thumbsup:

Just finished watching S3 ep1 and all I can say is WOW!!! Well worth the summer break. Roll on the next episode cos If they are anything like this one the S3 is going to be bloody awesome!!!

It was a similar(ish) opening scene to last season's. The rest of the premiere last year though was fairly weak after that opening scene, not so this time around. You actually get the impression that we're on the brink of a few key answers to what's going on. I'm sure that will lead to even more questions but still, progress is progress :thumbsup:

i wait until its on c4 as i dont have sky :tear:
does anyone know when they will be showing s3 on c4? :)

I can't be bothered to wait for channel 4 to air them (I don't have Sky either), I aquire them... :whistling:

It will be whenever season three of desperate housewives finishes to be shown on C4. Then they'll put lost on, so probably late 2007. :shrug: maybe/maybe not (depend if they think that they only have one spot available for two shows :rolleyes: )

:unsure:

They didn't do that last year though, did they? From what I remember Season 1 of Lost followed on from Season 1 of DH, but Season 2 of Lost was started long before DH finishes (in fact, S2 of Lost begun before S2 of DH finished in the US! :))

More Lost season three future episodes spoilers

The series will return in October for 6 episodes and then go in hiatus for 12 weeks and come back for 17 straight episodes, for a total of 23 episodes. Some reports say that the season will have 24 episodes. :shrug:

Possibly a double-length finale again.

if the season starts on 11th october then why does it start at episode 2? :ermm:


also, is this going to be on sky or c4?

It started last week, cunningly with the episode number 3.01 ;)

I'd assume Lost will return to C4 sometime in 2007. This thread is referring to the US airdates.

Lost has been lost by C4 to Sky One :)

Channel 4 will replace Lost with the hit US comedy Ugly Betty (according the BBC)

Ugly Betty is quite good, if my American friends are anything to go by. Can't believe another great show has been lost to the world dominating Sky tho, is nothing sacred anymore? As somebody who does not have the financial resources to have Sky or Sky Plus I'm getting a bit pissed off with it all. Its great being able to see the shows at US pace but as I dont have a DVD writer then I'm squinting at a tiny PC screen to watch em (yes yes, I'm bitching again - sorry :) )

Lost Producers Explain spoiler for 3.5

Comparing the ratings between a terrestrial and non-terrestrial channel is always likely to throw up results in the terrestrial channel's favour, simply because their cachement is that much larger. Looking at those numbers realistically, the Sky figures are better. I'm sure as a % of available audience things work out in Sky's favour.

Another point to make is that it was unlikely to break any existing Sky viewing records as season premiere's rarely do.

i might be a bit slow here but does this mean that lost will NOT be shown on C4 again :( only on sky

I'm afraid so :shrug: If you have freeview you'll have the chance to watch it on Sky 3 at some point in the future :)

I watched the first 2 episodes of season 3 last night and I have to say they were amazing :thumbsup: Season 2 had started to wane a bit for me but I am completely hooked again now :D

yay, i have freeview, but it probably wont be shown on sky 3 until some time next year :ermm:

It'll be a fair while I think. I doubt they'll show it before it ends on Sky One and we have a hiatus between Xmas and February so it's going to be summer before it ends :shrug:

Lost will move to 10 p.m. on Wednesdays when it returns in February. That will take it out of the line of fire from Fox's megahit American Idol, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Taking Lost's old 9 p.m. timeslot will be two new sitcoms: The Knights of Prosperity at 9, followed by In Case of Emergency at 9:30 :shrug:

As for those of you hoping that Lost will show up on Sky Three on Freeview, don't hold your breath. Sky currently has plans to yank their programming from Freeview and launch with their own set-top, one-off payment box. (They seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that people are prepared to pay for their services.)

This is subject to review by Oftel who are currently investigating monopolies on digital and satellite transmissions, but, if it goes ahead, expect to lose Sky Three, Sky News and Sky Sports News off the Freeview platform sometime in the summer.

(With that in mind, I've started downloading Lost S3 off the net and it's as frustrating/ mesmerising as ever.)

tvguide reveal season finale episodes spoilers

sci fi wire

The third-season finale of ABC's Lost saw its ratings down from a year ago, but it came in a strong second in its Wednesday-night time period, Variety reported.

According to preliminary nationals from Nielsen, the two-hour Lost finale averaged a 5.8 rating among adults aged 18-49 and 13.7 million viewers overall, peaking with a 6.6 rating in the demographic and 15.5 million viewers overall in its final half-hour. This was the show's best performance since Feb. 7, when it premiered in a new Wednesday 10 p.m. timeslot, although its total program average was down more than 20 percent vs. last year, the trade paper reported.

Lost returns in January with a fourth season.

February :)

:)

there is time until january or february, you never know, they still have time to change their mind <_<

Not going to happen - there are 16 episodes and they've confirmed the season will run uninterrupted. If they start in January then it will end in April, and they will lose out on the May sweeps. Thus starting in February means they have the première for the February sweeps, and the finale for the May sweeps :)

sound logic :)

Only got to see the finale last night :blink: :thumbsup: Have to say, they've really pulled their thumbs out their arses with this third season, for the most part, and that finale was pretty damn amazing. Never saw the twist at the end at all :o :shrug:

I wonder who was dead in the coffin :ponder:

Does this mean that the rest of the seasons will continue in the future or was that merely a flash forward? :unsure: :shrug:

I saw the finale a couple of days ago - I was going to give up on Lost after this season, but now I`m intrigued with how it ended and wonder if I should stick with it - if they`re only doing 16 eps per season, perhaps the standards will be higher. :unsure:

It took me ages to realise that the woman playing Bonnie in the Looking Glass underwater bit was also in S2 of Alias playing Elsa Caplan, the double agent who was married to Christian Slater. :)

I can't remember that far back :lol:

How can you not keep watching now? :blink: I'm dying to know what's going on :unsure:

I`ve seen too many poor episodes - I`ll probably keep watching, unless it clashes with something good. :)
