If you missed Lost and want to catch up (or just don't want to wait for the boxset ), tonight's the night to start doing so. Part 1 of the pilot will be on at 10EST/9CST tonight.

Plus, if you've gotten HD in the last few months: you have a chance to catch it again from the beginning that way.

So, they'll be showing all the episodes over the summer? I missed it the first time, but would love to see it now. I just don't want to get screwed over if they end up not showing the whole season.

Morf

No clue. I doubt they'll replay the entire season over the summer. Your best bet:

A question...should we use this thread, go back and start up the old thread from the original airing of the pilot, or continue on with the thread from the finale? Because I'm sure there'll be many things we notice the 2nd time around that we missed originally - like

Michael Corvin

aktick, Not that I care, but you may want to spoilerize future happenings since this thread is aimed at the "missed it the first time" crowd.

Bill Needle

I'm wondering the same. I know nothing about this show other than some people are lost. I don't want to see a bunch of episodes out of order. And since I usually hate 1 hour dramas I don't feel inclined to take a chance on a DVD blind buy.

Jimmy James

I think I remember reading that one of those TV columnists (Roush?) asked and learned they'd be running selected episodes, which the person in question took to mean they'd be skipping the "boring" ones.

aktick

Good idea, thanks for the reminder, fixed it.

I hope they show all episodes, but it seems to me they're only showing 1 a week, and there are only 15 or 16 Wednesdays until S2 starts...BOO! Hopefully they'll double up some weeks.

Anybody catch Boone's comment?

I didn't hear part. I thought

BTW let's take this discussion to the finale thread or start a new one so we don't have to spoilerize everything.

I thought they were going to be showing all the episodes. I didn't get a chance to watch it during the regular season and I really want to watch it. I could wait for the dvd, but that comes out after season 2 starts. I recorded last nights episode, but I would really like to know if all season is showing again during the summer.

Michael Corvin

Did you check the ABC website for info?

Big Worms

Yes, and they don't say anything about showing the entire season again.

That's too bad they're not showing them all this summer. I missed it the first time around and would love to check out the show. Is this the type of show where you should really see all the episodes? Will skipping the "boring" episodes really ruin the show for me?

On the other hand, if I like what I see, it will give me something to look forward to when the DVDs are released. It will be like bonus episodes.

Bill Needle

Suits me. I can always jump into the DVDTalk thread on any episode they skip for the couple of juicy details that might be omitted. Generally I much prefer the condensed viewing period. For instance, I DVR'd the first half of the pilot last night and will not bother watching it until I have the other half recorded next week.

Big Worms

It kind of makes sense that the entire season will not be shown. To do that at 1 a week it would take 6 months. The weird thing is ABC saying that half of their shows where not important or boring?

aktick

Haha, no kidding. I think that if you are a first time viewer of the show, you'll be ok even if they skip a few. There are many good online recaps of each episode, plus the threads here. Plus I'd guess they'll do some kind of overview of the episodes they skip before showing the next one. You may miss some of the neat details that we love to find, but I'm sure they'll make sure you know what's going on. And like was said, if you really like it, there's always the DVDs to check out before you'd have to start watching season 2.

Bandoman

Dammit! I missed it. Are they showing the pilot again this week, maybe a late night weekend showing?

Morf

Re-read that quote. ABC's didn't say that; Ausiello did.

Big Worms

I know, but still ABC is deciding that some of shows episodes you can do with out. Basically they are doing a teaser so that you get the dvds. I only wish I would have just watched it during the regular season.

Chew

Since a lot of shows seem to be starting in October now, there's still a good chance most of the episodes will be played.

heimerSWT

IMDB states that Season 2 Episode 1 is on September 21, 2005--or did I misunderstand you?

I think the DVDs are released on September 6. That gives new viewers two weeks to catch up on Season 1, which could be enough time if you watch two per day.

Chew

September 21? October? Close enough?

heimerSWT

Hehe, not close enough for me! The sooner the better, especially with this show.
