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.

Very useful info for me. Thanks!

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).

Thanks Ted!

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.

nevermind

hondo, by that time the DVD will be out

Thanks for the heads up!

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

Have you been having problems with this over the past couple days? Sites disappearing, and other ones (s-nova) going to a pay site?

Theoretically speaking, of course

The other site (s-nova) is not pay, nor will it ever be. You're connecting to one of the two scam sites with a similar url.

thanks for the news, will try and catch it this time around.

If that's your plan, check your Comcast digital cable to see if it's using iGuide software, then make sure you program in the 30 second commercial skip.
You are gonna *really* need it to rewatch those shows.

A question, is there any difference between the pilot that aired vs. the one that got leaked during the summer?

LorenzoL

I believe that there were some differences. This was discussed earlier in the season so unfortunately I can't remember what the actual changes were.

hondo21

Yeah, it is using iGuide (huge improvement) and I intend to program in the 30-second skip after reading about it on AVSForum. I agree that this is a necessary feature for watching network TV recordings.

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.

Ted The Bug

Other than the music score (which was filled with music from James Horner's Aliens score and several other existing movies on the internet-leaked version, and had music composed by series composer Michael Giachino on the final version), there are only very, very, very minor differences between the leaked version and the final version. For all intents and purposes its the same thing.

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

kenage

I know this is off topic, but who was different in the Wonderfalls pilot?

hondo21

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.

Tommy Ceez

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

hondo21

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.
