FINALLY! Lost -- "the 23rd Psalm" -- 01.11.2006
"the 23rd Psalm"
Mr. Eko interrogates Charlie about the Virgin Mary statue, Claire begins to lose faith in Charlie when she discovers his secret, and Jack is an interested observer when Kate gives the recovering Sawyer a much-needed haircut.
Also, there's another [sure to be an "exclusive bonus" disc for s2] special to get you up to date since the last episode of Lost 23 years ago..
It's on right before the new ep.

I haven't checked my TIVO yet, but someone else here at work said their DVR was all screwed up for tonight's episodes, seeing the first hour and 65 minutes, thus preventing the 9:00 recording from starting. Better to be safe and double check everyone

if the dvr cuts off the last couple of seconds for law and order (which i still like, but come on, this is lost we are talking about) i am going to be super pissed.

Pretty much every show will take breaks over the holidays, the difference being that Lost tends to end so many episodes with cliffhangers and unresolved questions, we just miss it more.

This excruciating hiatus is the perfect example of why 24's scheduling rocks so much.
Instead of going 42 days without an episode, forgetting what happened, and just getting genuinely disinterested...you get the entire season without interruption.
And is there anything better than 4 HOURS of Jack Bauer over 2 nights?!?!?

I'm actually considering watching Season 3 all in one shot via DVD.
I watched Season 1 that way and loved it -- got through the entire season in about a week or so. I'm enjoying Season 2 much less... mainly because of the gaps between episodes. (Plus the fact that my DVR ate the "What Kate Did" ep, and I had to aquire it through... alternate means.)
I don't know if I'm going to be able to handle waiting that long (presumably, September 2007) before watching Season 3. But I think it's a much better way to experience the show.

I think status quo is why it is done this way. I would prefer a Sci-Fi/USA mid season split or a FX/HBO style all at once style season opposed to the current on/off/on/off/off/on style most shows are on now.
