Fresh LOST Returns
To ABC Next Month!!

Ending on a quasi-cliffhanger by AlwaysThere	Dec 14th, 2007 05:35:38 PM
Is going to suck

Good luck to them.

ABC Eats Ass for this... by phaedrus007	Dec 14th, 2007 05:39:50 PM
Now they can piss off their writers and their viewers as the same time. Seriously, more than any other show on television, LOST is a show that builds towards its season ending. To leave a season hanging on a non-ending is unforgivable. Fuck ABC and their mothers.
People want their Lost by Jor-El23	Dec 14th, 2007 05:51:12 PM
and will take it how they can get it. The reality is that all shows are going to suffer from backlash, not just Lost. Any second or third season shows still struggling a bit to find an audience (How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock, Jericho etc...) are going to suffer because of this strike too. The whole thing is an f'ing nightmare but right now, I'll take any new TV I can get.
I'm Lost without you... by Zardoz	Dec 14th, 2007 06:00:29 PM
Sweet! I can't wait to see the first episode! So excited I may pee myself!
Herc you dumbass, there's a LOST trailer online by JimCurry	Dec 14th, 2007 06:11:24 PM
go find it.
Lost by conspirateur79	Dec 14th, 2007 06:11:36 PM
They have to put that show on and soon. All I know is.. they have to reach a compromise. Lets face it... online content is a tricky business. How much royalties should the writers get? I mean do they even have a system for such a thing?? So come on guys! Dont you care about LOST? Dont you care about your creations and your creators? FIGURE IT OUT
Charlie! by TheMcflyFarm	Dec 14th, 2007 06:12:52 PM
in the season 4 trailer!
Wow, do you have any idea by Turd Furgeson	Dec 14th, 2007 06:13:15 PM
How huge the ratings are going to be for this? The only fresh returning show on TV that has a proven formula and is not reality.. This is a stroke of genius by ABC.. They are going to cash is with ratings and ad revenue big time for sure. Even the people who stopped watching LOST in season 2 are going to come back because there will be no returning big time shows like Heroes, Journeyman, Life, Grey's, Housewives, Bionic, ER, The Office, 30 Rock, Simpsons, etc... Jeez fellas!
JimCurry by Turd Furgeson	Dec 14th, 2007 06:15:39 PM
dude you crack me up all the time... hahaha..
Could work on Thursdays - ABC is the only one with new content by TallBoy66	Dec 14th, 2007 06:16:49 PM
NBC is going all Must See TV Reruns on Thursday, CBS is Survivor (which I dunno if it'll be a new season by then) and everything is all reruns / reality cause of the strike. Aside from Lost. Maybe.

Exactly, Turd... by TrumpyEatsPotatoes	Dec 14th, 2007 06:24:02 PM
ABC's well aware that they have the potential of royally pissing off viewers and creators alike by running half a season--but having a Thursday night timeslot, with the only competition being Trump and the Surreal Apprentice, is too tempting to give up.
I don't know man by Turd Furgeson	Dec 14th, 2007 06:29:13 PM
I am a huge lost fan, even season 2, and I just got real excited.. I watch Journeyman, Life, LOST and 24, i'm pretty siked to at least have one of them, even if it's only for 8-10 episodes. Does anyone know how many eps are finished?
gonna suck in march when it ends... by LUZER	Dec 14th, 2007 06:30:29 PM
...but it's gonna be pretty great in january to have something to look forward to.
Eight episodes in the can... by TrumpyEatsPotatoes	Dec 14th, 2007 06:33:16 PM
Half a season.
Ok so 2 months worth by Turd Furgeson	Dec 14th, 2007 06:38:57 PM
Then we can sit and wait for Deadliest Catch to start around May.. I can handle that. People will understand they are not just fucking over the fans and that the strike is the reason there's no more than 8 eps. Wonder what that does for the remainder of the 3 shortened seasons they are planning....
Nice by Bono09	Dec 14th, 2007 06:40:10 PM
I want all 16 episodes too, but this is better than waiting any more. It was already going to be a long wait. I like how they make it appear than only 8 episodes will leave you hanging... What the hell do you call the first 3 seasons? It's would be torture after 16 episodes too... Give us what you've got. What else can we ask for besides ending this damn strike.
this will be the biggest blow from the stike so far by hamster_factor	Dec 14th, 2007 06:48:46 PM
The very reason they made us wait so long for season 4 was to avoid breaks and delays... now the question is: when will we ever get to see the conclusion of season 4? NEXT February?? then what about season 5? this has the potential for fucking the whole series IMO. One glimmer of hope in all of this: I heard the actors are contracted to follow through to the end of the series, regardless of how many more seasons it takes - if it takes an extra year they still have to stick around.
Damn straight by CherryValance	Dec 14th, 2007 06:52:01 PM
All that talk of pushing it back was giving me indigestion. I saw the "trailer" for LOST before ATONEMENT today and it only said "2008" and I actually audibly grumbled thinking that was meant to be indefinite just in case. Phew! Glad that crisis is over.
Lesser of two evils by TrumpyEatsPotatoes	Dec 14th, 2007 06:55:54 PM
I'm still happy that we get half a "Lost" season in January instead of a full season at some indefinite point in the future. Inability to defer gratification? Absolutely. I wants flashforwards, dammit.
Maybe ABC knows something about the strike we don't? by snowpuff	Dec 14th, 2007 07:10:44 PM
After all, doesn't the island have the power to see into the future or somethin'?

"No one watches Supernatural." by Shermdawg	Dec 14th, 2007 07:20:55 PM
Then you don't know what your missing. Season Three has been fucking outstanding.
Supernatural is a great show. by wahwah	Dec 14th, 2007 07:39:08 PM
But they'll probably run out of episodes by then, they can't have more than 12 or 13 filmed. As far as Lost goes, we've been waiting since May, so 8 episodes now is better than waiting until 2009 I guess.
That Six feet Under poster looks like it could by GQtaste	Dec 14th, 2007 07:49:02 PM

Perhaps a blessing... by Nairb The Movie	Dec 14th, 2007 08:24:33 PM
Maybe we'll get the eight. Then the writers will get what is owed to them. Then the other eight will get made. Then we'll get eight more in the fall. Then the another 16 in January 2009? Then again I have been wrong now and then.
Fox will probably announce something similar for 24. by CatVutt	Dec 14th, 2007 08:36:12 PM

I finally got around to watching Lost... by I Hope You Die	Dec 14th, 2007 09:37:48 PM
I'd avoided it because it sounds kind of stupid on paper. But you Lost fans are so goddamned annoying, always popping up in other Talkbacks and going on and on and on about how great Lost is and how everything else sucks. It was at times some of the best television I've ever watched. Okay! Happy now? At other times it was just good. The only time it sucked was when Michelle Rodriguez showed up and every time they focused on Charlie. I guess that won't be a problem anymore. So thank you annoying Lost fans. I'm glad it only has two more short seasons though. The first three took a lot of watching to get through.
can't wait for angry "fans" by INWOsuxRED	Dec 14th, 2007 09:48:20 PM
to blame the show runners for a bland "ending" and unfinished storylines. Nice that the Lost creatives fought to keep ABC from messing things up, won, and will still wind up with ABC messing things up. You gotta feel for other show runners who don't have clout with a proven cash-cow show and can't prevent networks from fucking their shows in the ass.
24 had 7-8 episodes done as well by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Dec 14th, 2007 09:50:41 PM
They just wouldn't air them now like Lost is doing because it wouldn't make any sense. 24 is a hell of a lot harder to film, they filmed this year in DC, who the fuck knows what the weather will be like or whats changed by the time they can start filming again, on 24 everything has to look like it's happening in the same day, they might have to just start over from scratch when the strikes over.
I'm still watching by offput	Dec 14th, 2007 10:21:15 PM
The show fucking rocks and as much as I'd like to respect the wishes of the writers and wait until the whole season is done, I need my fucking Lost fix and a mini, not-really-uber cliffhanger will still be intense and more awesome than most shows hope for from a real deal cliffhanger.

Listen by rockness	Dec 15th, 2007 12:03:37 AM
I have bed bugs. My life is a f*cking mess. Getting Lost like 5 days earlier than expected is the only good news I've had in a very long time. BED BUGS ARE THE PITS.
Guy...Headache...Saves...World.. . by Cheif Brody	Dec 15th, 2007 12:19:51 AM
Um...have to disagree with you on the whole "24 is harder to film" thing. Lost has way more locations (factoring the flashback/flash forward scenes), a bigger ensemble cast, lots more special effects in every episode...shoots in Hawaii (mostly outdoors in the elements)...with post production in LA. Shooting 24 would be a cake walk for the Lost guys. Hopefully, we'll get 8 new episodes running Jan 31st thru March...and 8 more next fall pending how the strike shakes down. I'm in the hatch where people want ANY new Lost NOW...instead of NO Lost til next fall. Yeah...it sucks they won't be ending in March with a kick ass cliff hanger...But it's likely we'll get a great "mid-season" opener next September. We can only hope.
YESSSSS by BurgerKing	Dec 15th, 2007 12:20:37 AM
I'm down with Thursday night, not an exciting night for me, especially with nothing else on at all. The Office then Lost? Hmm. But when Grey's comes back, they should move it to Mondays so when people are pissed at how shitty Heroes is, they can have Lost before or after to make it look that much better....flawless. 8 episodes is better than no episodes, so in my books, it rocks and I'm pumped.
holy the s4 trailer rocks by BurgerKing	Dec 15th, 2007 12:40:00 AM
The one with sound that is. Jesus, and being the Lost nerd I am I found screencaps from it and they are unusual to say the least, well atleast we know it's going to be the same Lost full of WTF moments within those first episodes. I'm so fucking excited, first Dark Knight teaser/posters now this? Could this be the greatest day on AICN ever?
The Mobisodes by topaz4206	Dec 15th, 2007 01:10:36 AM
Are they worth watching?
re: the mobisodes by hamster_factor	Dec 15th, 2007 01:22:36 AM
the first couple of them were pretty lame. but the last three were pretty damn cool IMO (one features Michael) - see for yourself, they're only a few minutes long
who cares if it's only the first 8... by Executor	Dec 15th, 2007 01:45:52 AM
That will take us through March. Hopefully the strike will be done by then, in which case they'll probably bring back Grey's to the time slot through June, then air the final 8 s4 Lost eps in summer/early fall.
BOOOOO! by PirateEmery	Dec 15th, 2007 02:58:20 AM
Lost-o-day is WEDNESDAY! It's been Wednesday for the entirety of its run! THIS IS BLASPHEMY to put it on Thursday.
This show can suck my chocolate coated balls, thanks by Pipple	Dec 15th, 2007 04:17:19 AM
And Supernatural is the most worthless waste of film or whatever they use for tv these days that I've seen recently besides everything on nbc outside the office.
Executor...Not a chance... by Cheif Brody	Dec 15th, 2007 04:44:53 AM
No WAY will ABC air any "new" Lost episodes in the summer. The first Thursday in October would be the absolute earliest the show would resume...as the final 8 eps of Season Four have to make it thru the all important Nov. sweeps period. And...if we're lucky (the strike settles soon)...we may see it return in May 09 for Season Five.
Good trailer - bad move. by Yeti	Dec 15th, 2007 06:25:44 AM
Both moving to Thursdays @ 9pm (Supernatural) and starting the season with the strike currently having no end in sight.

actually... by AllieJamison	Dec 15th, 2007 06:55:35 AM
...the time went by pretty fast I must say. catching up on Battlestar Galactica and revisiting Six Feet Under probably helped. And...ohmyogd...there's a fucking trailer? I completely forgot about this theater-release... Thanks for the heads up.
uh...the trailer... by AllieJamison	Dec 15th, 2007 07:01:57 AM
crazy shit. as usual.
Of course they're moving it. by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Dec 15th, 2007 10:50:34 AM
Wednesday night is now a powerhouse: Criminal Minds, Pushing Daisies, Life, etc. When Lost started it had no competition, now it needs to regroup. Still, do they think it has a chance against CSI?
Cleric Binks... by Cheif Brody	Dec 15th, 2007 11:01:43 AM
What else has ABC got to battle Thursdays with? I think ABC sees this 8 ep Lost mini-season as a way to "test the waters" to see if the CSI juggernaut has any chinks in the armour....especially with all the turnabout and changes CSI is having to endure cast/story-wise. The only other thing ABC has in their back pocket is Dancing/Stars & Grey's...Although I would have liked to have seen a Pushing Daisies lead in to Lost on Wednesdays. Desperate Houswives is definetly showing it's age (no pun intended)...I think Lost is the only card ABC has to play on Thursdays...and this new "strike schedule" is a great opportunity to see what happens.

GIVE US LESS AND LESS EPISODES, ABC!! by Pizza The Hut	Dec 15th, 2007 11:31:09 AM
...and make sure that you put an extremely annoying great big giant-size 1/4-screen logo/promo for some other lame show in the bottom left hand corner of the screen though the entirety of the shows, along with about 10 great big pop-ups after commercial breaks, like NBC has been doing as of late. That's the way to make your viewers happy, right? As for NBC, if I never watch that network again, it will be too soon. Will you be next, ABC??
Looks like A by JeffManSixtyFo	Dec 15th, 2007 11:46:33 AM

Looks like a pricktease to me by JeffManSixtyFo	Dec 15th, 2007 12:02:26 PM
Basically Feb.sweeps is one of times when the networks can make basis for charging airtime to advertisers.With this strike,fewer new episodes to hold back for Febuary except in the case of LOST where ABC will be the prettiest girl at the prom in the sluttiest attire and she be knowin' it.After the Oceanic 8 are shown,they can charge more money to advertise on McStoopid etc,and LOST can be moved around the primetime schedule to cockblock whomever ABC chooses.
How would "showing it's age"... by Bob Loblaw Law Blog	Dec 15th, 2007 12:43:29 PM
be a "pun" for Desperate Housewives? Do you know what a "pun" is? Now, if the show was called "Elderly Housewives," then to say the show was "showing it's age" would be... somewhat closer to being a pun. If the show were "Aged Housewives," you'd be right on target. Or... just say that the show is "desperate for ratings." PUN!!
CAN'T WAIT!!! by ccchhhrrriiisssm	Dec 15th, 2007 12:51:02 PM
LOST is the best show on television. It seems like it will be one of the ONLY shows on television come this Spring. Ahhhh...saving the best for last, errr, LOST.
Bob Blah Blah... by Cheif Brody	Dec 15th, 2007 01:24:00 PM
Yes...I know what a "pun" is...and if you take Eva Longoria out of the equation...you're left with 4 "old"...as in..."aged" Desperate Housewives. As Stewie & Brian Griffin so eloquently sang at this years Emmy's..."Brian: With hits like Desperate Housewives continuing to thrive/Stewie: Those ladies look senstional for being 65!"...Funny stuff. Look it up...it's on the YouTube. Hope now you "get" my "pun".
This is pretty good news for a number of reasons by Freakemovie	Dec 15th, 2007 02:59:45 PM
Moving it to Thursday moves it away from the American Idol juggernaut and also out of the tricky 10pm spot. Ending it after 8 episodes is a necessary evil; if viewers understand the situation with the strike and everything, I think they'll be inclined to be a lot more forgiving than they were last year during the hiatus. Yeah, it'll suck stopping halfway through the season, but at least it's not the writers fault.

What about English TV? by proton45	Dec 15th, 2007 04:50:26 PM
I'm really looking forward to the new season of "Lost"...I thought that the last one was brilliant (its hard to believe it wasn't canceled...LOL) I WONDER if their is going to be any good English (BBC or SkyTV)tv shows worth watching??? I have a "friend" who sends me video tapes (from england) sometimes...Is their a new season of "Peep Show"? or "Wire in the Blood" coming up? Anyone from England???
What? Are people complaining about this? by Dapper Swindler	Dec 15th, 2007 04:53:44 PM
Huh? You're upset because Lost will only be 8 episodes and you'd rather wait and see the full 16 straight? Psh, nuts to that! So episode 8 ends on a cliffhanger? And that bothers you? Have you even seen Lost before? Every episode ends on a cliffhanger! And think about this. You want to watch this while you still can. Because by next fall, or 2009, you could be dead. Think about it. I'm not exactly sure how many people read these talkbacks. But at least one of you reading this sentence right now will be dead by next fall. So, how about we enjoy the show as much as we can while we're still breathing?
Don't get me wrong chief brody by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Dec 15th, 2007 04:56:24 PM
I'm not trying to say some bullshit about 24 being any better because it's "harder" to film, 24 is a worthless piece of shit in my eyes right now that has to prove itself when it comes back, and yeah Lost I'm sure is hard as hell to film in the jungle and everything, but I think on account of all the continuity and shit in 24, having to make the old shit they filmed MONTHS ago look like it took place just minutes before what they have to film now? I gotta say that sounds harder. A jungle isn't going to change dramatically on anyone. One thing I'm not clear on is were they actual shooting in D.C. or shooting in L.A. and saying it was D.C. It sure looked like D.C. from the pictures, less yellowish and smogish definitely.
YYYEESSSS!!! by SlickyVonBoner	Dec 15th, 2007 05:18:42 PM
I needs me some Lost. God, I love this show. I don't know what I'll do in a couple years when its over. I was hoping they'd at least show the ones they made before the strike.
No Prob...Guy...Headache...Saves... World... by Cheif Brody	Dec 15th, 2007 05:58:02 PM
Yeah...24 may have been shooting some "establishing" scenes in DC just to get the Washington Monument, White House etc, in the background...then shoot the rest of the DC scenes on an LA soundstage. I just hate when there's only 3 hours left in the 24 hr day...and someone decides to hop on a plane and travel from LA to DC...and somehow they make it in 3 hours. I hope the President's ass is firmly planted in the Oval Office this season...and not in some underground bunker conveinently located in LA. The President (or one of his underlings) turning out to be "the bad guy" every season is seriously wearing thin. Just give me Jack...the Sack...and some bad ass terrorists for him to smack around, and leave the policy makers/evil bureaucrats out of it. Lost has some similar continuity problems of it own...as one episode generally constitutes one "day" on the island...so clothing, make up and scenery have to be watched carefully. I know I've spotted drastic slip ups in the fake wounds, scratches and scrapes the cast has to have applied from scene to scene. Not to mention, everytime a Lost flashback jumps from London, to Korea, to Iraq, to Tallahasse, to Sydney...the location scouts have to find an acceptable "double location" on the island...then the set dressers have to apply fake newspaper boxes, taxi/police car logos...and the CGI guys have to add in recognizable buildings in the background...erase mountains, etc. Which seems harder to me to film.
Great, but DAMM ABC! by MrFloppy	Dec 15th, 2007 06:24:24 PM
I want to see the 16 episodes as Damon & Carlton want us to see, not just 8! I like the new timeslot, but I don't want LOST to be replaced (and missing without a slot?) when Grey returns...
Dapper Swindler... by Cheif Brody	Dec 15th, 2007 06:38:07 PM
I believe Cuse and Lindeloff were not happy with the airing of the 8 episodes BECAUSE the 8th episode ISN'T much of a cliffhanger....as far as Lost "cliffhangers" go. There's no..."OMG" moment at the end of the episode that we've come to expect when the show finishes a season...or a mini-season. It won't end on Jack about to blow Ben's head off...when suddenly...a "STOP!" is heard...and Alvar Hanso steps out of the jungle. Black screen with LOST.

"And think about this. You want to watch this while you still can. Because by next fall, or 2009, you could be dead. Think about it. I'm not exactly sure how many people read these talkbacks. But at least one of you reading this sentence right now will be dead by next fall." Hilarious!
I must say by kurdt420	Dec 15th, 2007 06:50:51 PM
I am still insanely pleased by last season's cliffhanger. That was one of the best I've seen in a long time. I hope they can top it.
So many desktop critics by kurdt420	Dec 15th, 2007 06:53:35 PM
can't we just discuss what we like about the show instead of ripping it apart. but I'm sure that's been asked many times in the past
Hope it's you, Neckbolt Ross. by Cheif Brody	Dec 15th, 2007 07:13:06 PM
Yea...I said it.

And I hope that Cane fails so that BatManuel comes back
yes, yes, YES!! by nogimmick	Dec 15th, 2007 07:55:23 PM
although it really sucks about the 8 episodes, i'm still psyched about new lost episodes. i certainly hope the strike ends soon so they can get moving on the other 8 ASAP.
Jonny Lee Miller is THE MAN by I Dunno	Dec 15th, 2007 08:07:25 PM
Because he was married to Angelina Jolie pre-Billy Bob. We're talking the Hacker days.
Supernatural by My Pretty Pony	Dec 15th, 2007 08:19:25 PM
This is just what SN needs, more competition on Thursday nights from another one of the most popular shows on TV. I don't see The CW canceling it, though. I think only "Smallville" & "Top Model" get better ratings. All of their new shows and their Sun. & Mon. night lineups do much worse in the ratings. I kinda wish they'd move the show to a better time slot, but I don't think they will because none of their other shows would do any better. What they need is good advertising. Most people don't know about the show or that The CW even exists.
CBS should air Supernatural next summer... by Shermdawg	Dec 15th, 2007 11:16:39 PM
Stick it with CSI: let it get some mainstream exposure, and if it does well hopefully more people will seek it out. If it does really well, Moonves could snatch it up. Seriously folks, this is the best X-files-ish show since the X-files, and recently its been out X-filing X-files itself. Check it out.

No, I understand where you were going... I watch DH and I have the Family Guy: Live in Las Vegas album. But, a pun is a play on words (e.g. the title "Desperate Housewives"). What you said wasn't a pun... it was a jab the perceived age of the women. Had you made a play on the title (i.e. the producers must be "desperate" for ratings), that'd be a "pun." In any case, I was just being smarmy about your calling it a "pun" when it wasn't. It was still funny. No worries!
Live you can, watch Lost while you can by Dapper Swindler	Dec 15th, 2007 11:41:29 PM
...because tomorrow isn't guaranteed!
if they only have 8 episodes in the can, they might as well not by Mr Incredible	Dec 16th, 2007 01:37:43 PM
Unless the strike ends before they run out, it will be pointless and frustrating to show LOST. Accept the inevitable: the networks will become reruns, reality, game shows, and news programs.
I'm for giving us the 8 as well. by DarthCorleone	Dec 16th, 2007 03:58:40 PM
As much as I respect the wishes fo the storytellers, I'll accept the 8 and hope that somehow the scheduling can be tweaked so that the other 8 can be completed in time to give us all of season 5 in 2009 and all of season 6 in 2010. I'm not sure how logistically probable that is, but dragging it out until 2011 does not sound appealing. I'd of course prefer a great cliffhanger at episode 8, but I'll live. Just as long as they don't decide to adversely fuck with the ending of episode 8 via creative ending (akin to the recent Heroes ending but not exactly analogous), I think it's the best of a bad situation.
Only eight episodes? After six months of waiting.... by Lashlarue	Dec 16th, 2007 04:02:54 PM
How dissappointing.
The strike is a good thing for 24. by Barry Egan	Dec 16th, 2007 04:43:32 PM
Remember when they were scrambling for story ideas after Fox said NO to them wanting to film in Africa?
They should come back and shoot another 14-16 eps by performingmonkey	Dec 16th, 2007 07:37:08 PM
Instead of just shooting the remaining 8 slated for season 4 they should push to make 6-7 more and either add those to season 4 to make up a full-length season OR keep those back for a between-seasons series, THEN shoot a full-length season 5 to finish the show.
Season 3 sucked? NO. by turketron	Dec 17th, 2007 08:34:55 AM
Season 3 was damn good... yeah, the first 6 episodes (the "mini-season") blew, but when it returned from the break the show was top notch, except for "Stranger in a Strange Land" (the tattoo episode). I'm looking forward to the return of this show, but I'm not too excited about Thursday at 9... I would rather have it on Wednesday, but I can understand them trying to hide from the Idol juggernaut. Fuck that show by the way... and Lost gave us something to watch while the rest of the braindead population watched that trash on Wednesdays...
Not 2 more seasons...3 by rbrog77	Dec 17th, 2007 09:16:21 AM
It's 3, 16 episode seasons, making a total of 6. Now if this new season only has the 8 episodes currently in the can, ABC may wait until fall to finish up S4. But the cast and producers are contracted for the 3 16 episode seasons. As for Cane, i thought they did cancel that. Whether Richard Albert is coming back or not, I don't know.
Map of the 'Lost' island by Cueball Col	Dec 17th, 2007 03:37:55 PM
Apologies if this is old news, but has anyone seen the following map someone has put together of the island ? http://cueballcol.wordpress.co m/2007/12/17/map-of-the-lost-i sland/
nice map by BigTexas42	Dec 19th, 2007 01:19:32 PM
I know you didn't make the map, but shouldn't the beechcraft and the pearl be in the same place?
the "real" lost trailer by smutpeddlar	Dec 20th, 2007 10:14:13 AM
http://tinyurl.com/ytazg3 that is a link to the real trailer for the season...not the theatrical trailer,this one has dialogue and you get to see 2 new characters,davies and Ken Leung ..pretty cool when davies character says "saving your people..can't really say its "our" primary objective" jack says "what is?"
Don't look a gift smoke monster in the mouth by CaptainTripps	Dec 20th, 2007 11:29:05 AM
I'll take 8 early as opposed to 16 god knows when. They need to get it out while people are still interested in following it. Besides aren't the actors' contracts up here pretty soon? If they wait until everyone's satisfied, we may not see a new episode until '09. Sucks that it's moving to Thursdays opposite Supernatural though. It's the only other show on TV worth watching. I'd rather they put it on at 8 and finally get Smallville taken off. I'm so sick of hearing geeks moon over that worthless pile of shit.
can't wait for the 8! by BigTexas42	Dec 20th, 2007 01:39:24 PM
so maybe instead of 16, 16, 16, we'll get 8, 24, 16. or 8, 20, 20. They'd probably have to fudge the story a bit to get season finales lined up properly, but they're smart folks. Mikhail lives!
