Heads-Up: LOST 2-Hour Pilot reruns 12/15
I know there are a few of you late to the Lost bandwagon that are trying to catch up via episode descriptions. They're rerunning the 2-hour series premiere on 12/15/04 at 8:00 in the show's normal timeslot. Not sure if they will rerun the other episodes in order or not, but it's worth a shot.

They will rerun episodes 1 and 2 (ie the 2hour pilot) on Wednesday Dec 15th from 8-10.
They will rerun episodes 3 and 4 on Wednesday Dec 22nd from 8-10.
They will rerun episodes 5 and 6 on Wednesday Dec 29th from 8-10.
On Wednesday Jan 5, its a new episode at 8, followed by the 2hour Alias season premiere from 9-11.
After that, its Lost at 8 and Alias at 9 every week (Alias will have a new episode every week, no repeats).

So, for someone like me who hasn't watched a single minute of this show but may want to start (I just got a DVR that does HD - Motorola DCT6412 from Comcast), and would like to watch them all in order ...
It looks like I could record and watch the first six episodes in the next few weeks as noted above. Then it appears that tonight is going to be Episode 11, and presumably January 5 will be Episode 12. I could record those and save for later. So then I'd have to wait to get Episodes 7, 8, 9, and 10 at some later point, while recording new shows and saving them for later. Only trouble is that if they don't rerun those 4 episodes soon enough I will run out of room on the DVR before I want to watch them. (I'll want to have room for other recordings.)
Any idea when Episodes 7-10 will be rerun? Maybe I'll just have to watch 1-6 only and wait until later to record and watch the remainder when they go to all reruns, assuming they will do that.
My head hurts.

I would guess that January will have 2 new episodes plus reruns of 7 and 8. Of course February will be 4 straight weeks of new episodes (sweeps month), so thats 14-17, but after they they will probably rerun 9 and 10 before finishing up the season. So I'd say by march you could see 1-17 in time to catch 18+ live
There's also a TORRENT of ways that you could download episodes 7-10 so that you could catch from 11 onward live

Theoretically speaking, of course

My main reason for going for the DVR now was to get ready for Alias and 24 seasons 4 in a few weeks. I'm tired of taping 24 on VHS. Alias I've watched every episode on DVD up till now but don't want to wait until next fall to see what's next. This way I can record it in HD.

The Joey, Wonderfalls, and Desperative Housewives pilots that got leaked, on the other hand, had some different actors in them.

UPDATE: Well, as I discussed above I recorded the six hours of LOST reruns on my Comcast DVR and finally finished watching them. Just wanted to set the record straight on something.
While I got most of the story, a couple of things didn't make sense to me, like I must be missing something. So now I discover by reading the ABC website episode guides that they did not show Episodes 1 through 6 on these reruns. Instead they actually broadcast #1, #2, #4, #5, #7, #8, skipping episodes #3 and #6. Stupid.
Now I guess I have to watch for more reruns but they're probably going to be all out of order. Probably should have waited for DVD. But it does look very good in HD.

In the Lost rerun thread we made the same observation...it might be the most baffeling decision in recent memory

My guess is that they were trying to do their best to get new people somewhat caught up in a limited number of episodes (6) so that they could start watching new ones tonight. They probably decided that episodes #3 and #6 were less important to that goal than #7 and #8. I don't like it, but that's probably where they're coming from. Who knows.
