My wife just went into labor.

Who wants to spend 6 hours Modeling a Penguin in Maya when I can skip class and do the make up work tomorrow.
Shit's happening in 4 hours!
Just a little over 2 hours. I just can't wait! And yet, it's closer than it's ever been, and now it's even closer
And now it's even closer
And now it's even closer
It's closer than it's ever been
And now it's even closer
And now it's…
.........
closer still
You lucky bastards. I still have to wait another day.
I can taste LOST in the air around me!
LET IT BEGIN!!!!!
I am so excited for those of you watching on TV. I would kill to be in your spot right now. I will follow in your footsteps later this evening but I think if I put my ear out the window I'll be able to hear your collective screams of shock and excitement.
I cannot verbalize how I feel right now. Even though it's the recap special…
I already plowed through all the other recap specials to tie me over.
I created a mural on a marker board of every phrase I could think of from the series.
I'm dead tired. I haven't slept right in five days because of excitement. If I fall asleep, I'll kill myself.
For anyone who might be in a time-zonally-challenged part of the world, there'll be a live stream here:
http://darkufo.blogspot.com/2010/02/live-chat-tonight-with-live-streams.html
I don't think they're posting details until an hour from now.
Watching the recap now. 45 minutes and counting for the premier!
It's snowing like crazy where I am. I would've been beyond pissed if it was interrupted by the weather warning. Even this recap is getting me excited, and really buliding up the excitement.
oh man oh man oh man. I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it's been SINCE MAY!!!!!!!
WE'RE FINALLY HERE!!!!!
edit:
THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT!!!!!
There will never EVER AGAIN in HISTORY be a LOST premiere night.
EVER!
They could change the actors.
Change the story.
Do whatever.
Won't be the same.
There will never be this gathering for this event, EVER again.
This is amazing. And I know I'm totally geeking out and making a bigger deal of it than it is in the grand spectrum of life but after this season, TV might as well be dead to me again.
Show me your shit Nemesis!
edit2:
I'm heading off to class and it will begin at 11AM my time, 15 minutes into class. I will hold my own private moment of silence in between teaching them how to fold origami in English.
See you guys on the other side.
Enjoy.
ABC decided against a spinoff or continuation. Smart move. The other day I was thinking how it would tie back to the original if one were made. Perhaps all the babies that were born on the island, or born because of the island, return alongside others? Ji Yeon, Aaron, and Charlie (Not really connected to the island, but…).
xSLlZh9yelk
It begins
Someone hold me…..
Edit
! What the hell was that? The island is underwater? And I'm starting to wonder what happened to get Desmond on 815?
! Wow he speaks Japanese. He said that he didn't know what was going on with the water.
! No, Sayid! I don't believe he's dead. That's just a sad way to kill someone off.
! Wow so many people are dead. I'm glad Terry O'Quinn gets to stay though.
! Classic John Locke. Jacob (God), I hope we see him again.
! Richard in chains? Ass kicking? Great end note.
16 Fucking FUCK YES!
! Hiroyuki Sanada, surprised when I saw him.
! Holy HELL that was awesome! I really don't know what to say, there was so much great stuff. The temple monks, the alternate timeline, the contents of the guitar case, just…EVERYTHING! Ah, and it's great that Sayid is still alive (too bad for Juliet though :sad:) I think the most awesome and revealing bit though was that the fake Locke was the monster. Can't wait for next week!
What the fuck?
(It is what I ask at the end of most Lost episodes, but I was hoping it'd be less likely in Season 6…of course, I was wrong...)
So…the others have a Lazarus Pit?
Guess this is what they used to save Ben with.
I am so excited for those of you watching on TV. I would kill to be in your spot right now. I will follow in your footsteps later this evening but I think if I put my ear out the window I'll be able to hear your collective screams of shock and excitement.
This was my reaction to just about everything during those two glorious hours.
Well, these new Others have a Lazerus Pit, Richard Alpert just got his ass kicked, and we're back on Oceanic 815 for the flashes this season (I'm calling them altbacks). I'm fucking ready for anything!! And holy shit Desmond on the plane.
By the end of this season, I predict we'll have 2 smoke monsters fighting each other! I called it ^__^

The other one will be the real John Locke.

Lost. Keeping the whole "More questions made than answers given" schtick right up to the end.
"One white. One black."
Gotta give Terry O Quinn credit. He's making current "Locke" and "Classic Locke" feel like two completely separate people. That intense stare he gave the camera when he said he wanted to go home gave me goosebumps!
Have I mentioned how awesome this show is? I don't think I've mentioned how awesome this show is. Still, I hope it'll be worth my four year investment.
Stunning. I have no words, so I'll steal Greg's when he posts his.
Now we know why the cabin had that ash surrounding it. When did it get disrupted, though? I can't recollect.
Wait, I thought I had no words? O.o
Jacob's other form must be the Hurley Bird of course.
It's not white though…
My mind has been blown and I can't wait for next week's episode.

I don't think that was a huge mystery, Illana remarked on the ash missing in The Incident. It wasn't a huge leap to assume that Man-in-Locke was there the whole time impersonating Jacob while Jacob was out doing his own thing.
One Piece and Lost are drugs.
You know…
Watching the 11th hour promo with the new footage made this even more incredible.
Seeing that I had all but given up on seeing the plane landing and thought LAX would be a clever twist.
But no.
Not only did they do it, they did it from the get-go.
Okay, so LOST will be the first TV show in history where their final season is essentially the longest epilogue in television history.
Is that amazing of what?
Instead of building up to something and BAM! there it is as the screen fades to black, we've got an entire season to say goodbye to our beloved characters.
Unreal.
Complaints.
Kate seems to comfortable in her role. She's playing herself playing Kate, not Kate.
The scene where she tells Jack Sayid is gone, horrific. There was nothing there. Even Jack seemed funky but I'm willing to leave that up to his pouting, "I didn't shoot him but I'm responsible." Kate though? Compare that to the parallel scene with Charlie. You just can't. Almost makes me wonder why they attempted it when they did almost exactly the same thing and MUCH better in season 1.
No Shanon with Boone was a SERIOUS let-down. It made the whole thing feel very fake. Now, I understand avoiding Michael for obvious reasons or even Claire, but shooting Boone like that WITHOUT Shannon? The flight attendants must have been drivin nuts with people changing their damn seats on that flight! I mean look how Frogurt ended up next to Locke! Seriously though, what was the deal? Was she too busy making shit like The Fog?
edit: Having read this http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/02/02/lost-premiere-damon-carlton/ I will gladly dine on my foot.
I've been hoping from the start for a bookend to the remarkable Season 1 finale and…this just...it kinda sucked. Music was spot on, as always, but the film quality felt off. Felt too manufactured. Anybody else feel me on that? It looked like a lit studio, not a cabin the way it did in the Season 1 finale. Far more dramatic.
Am I nitpicking, yes. Sue me.
WOAH! I knew for a long time Hiroyuki would be in the show. It was big news in the fan community here but I didn't wanna spread the word to spoil. However, I am shocked as shit that he talks goddamn unsubtitled Japanese.
And not only that, but it's REAL GODDAMN JAPANESE.
A lot of the time you can tell the 'Japanese' in dramas are things that Japanese people would NEVER say and his speech, albeit somewhat like textbook phrases, actually come off naturally. Much better than anything Flashforward and certainly Heroes has ever attempted.
So I'm gonna guess since the spring is murky and seems not to be able to heal, that water flowing through the island is what has the healing powers. When they moved to the cave and drank some of the natural water, BAM!!!!! Jin's sperm count shoots through the roof.
Locke? You got me still.
Jack's cut on his neck will be something to remember a la Ben's shoulder injury in the desert.
Nice to see the circle of ash in motion and FUCK ME WITH A KANGAROO PENIS IN THE NOSE THE MONSTER GAVE BEST DEATH EVER!!!!!
KIDS! KIDS FROM THE PLANE! That was the real boy wasn't it!? Seems like they tried to hide the girl though.
Nice to see whispers back. We can confirm once and for all they're the Others communicating so no more bitching about that from asshole critics.
The Epibacks were starting to annoy me a bit. Dunno why. Can't place my finger on it. usually things just seem to fit in LOST but I think they were trying a bit too hard and being a bit too smarmy for their own good. "I was supposed to die."
Yeah get it? Cause Charlie was supposed to die. rolls eyes BUT seeing Jin with that cash carrying through his plan to escape with Sun was AMAZING. Then it got better when Kate got in the cab with Claire and by the time Jack was shaking hands with Locke I was completely sold.
Desmond on the plane for wtf.
Interesting to note Greg Grunejgjdkdu(sp)'s voice for the pilot. So…something interesting going on there.
SAYID'S SPEAKING IN HIS ACTOR'S VOICE!? Is this a result of the 'memory loss'? But how do you go from one accent to another? I dunno. Interesting.
It's gonna be a great ride. Let's enjoy it while it lasts. I'm in heaven.
Oh, and I'd like to patent the band name 'Ankh in My Guitar Case'.

Greg Grunberg, he didn't get killed by Man-in-Locke quite yet.
@Zach:

He finally escaped from Heroes!!! Oh wait…
It seems to me Sayid is dead, but his body is possessed by Jacob.
My brother thinks the "parallel flashbacks" are actually the end of the season. By the time we get to the end of the show in the regular timeline, we'd have already had the "epilogue" slowly fed to us over the course of the season. it will all just be properly connected by the finale.
I like how Hugo is considered the leader !
That was good. Very, very good!!! My worries of the time resetting was immediately removed with alternate time lines. This season has gotten off to a great start.
Agree with Greg too. I was like WTH is wrong with Kate. With Charlie, she was crying and screaming and shit. It's like she didn't even try acting:/
Kate hates Arabs. >=(
Fantastic episode nonentheless.
I don't think the altbacks are the epilogue, but rather just a what-if, but I could be wrong…
Now we got healing water and some shit in order to avoid Smokey…I am still unsure about where this is going..
I really doubt they would spend this much time with a simple what-if scenario. In the interview posted by Greg a few posts above, Darlton says they can't even use the word "alternate" for either of those realities, so there you go.
There's the ratings. Not bad, but I knew it wasn't going to be season one great.
Not much of a fan of NCIS: LA…
Not bad?
A useless recap almost beat NCIS in the demos, and then the amazing 5.7 and 5.4 later on.
@Yuugi's:

Jack will receive the tiniest of neck wounds in the series finale. Bank on it.
I cannot friggin' believe the ep. just ended with Said back to life, when that happened I was 'WHAT THAT'S IT?! THAT'S THE FIRST 2 EPS.?!"
Fuck I want more.
Also why in the name of of all that is sane won't these people just EXPLAIN why the fuck they're doing what they're doing?!
They have Said in the water and they can't just tell Jack and co. to let it happen, just because they've been on the island long enough to know that creepy shit happens on it?
The Japanese dude is such a fucking dick, and what's with all the hostility?
No Shanon with Boone was a SERIOUS let-down. It made the whole thing feel very fake. Now, I understand avoiding Michael for obvious reasons or even Claire, but shooting Boone like that WITHOUT Shannon? The flight attendants must have been drivin nuts with people changing their damn seats on that flight! I mean look how Frogurt ended up next to Locke! Seriously though, what was the deal? Was she too busy making shit like The Fog?
Probably there's a problem with the alt. reality and it's trying to fix itself? BTW I think the scene at the start is what happens in the end, but It hink you all know considered that.
AntiJacob kicked so much ass in this ep., and it seems Richard might have been a servant to AntiJacob as well or some such.
Why were the Japanese dude and the others living so close to the temple that Ben was duped by AntiJacob in?
Though I believe the reason they didn't interact with the Hostiles when they took over Dharma was because of Richard?
Finally, did Said's passport have Urdu/Hindi writing in it? I couldn't make a word of what was written in his passport but then again I ridiculously DLed a non HDTV ver. =_=
Mind you I dON'T think I got a lot of mindfucks this ep., but was impressed by a number of stuff.
"I am very disappointed, IN ALL OF YOU"
That is so gonna get a Stunner when I use it in 4chan 2morrow XD.
The next episode might be bad..the name "What Kate did" scares me…

Lost is back.
Full review will follow.
And not only that, but it's REAL GODDAMN JAPANESE.

lol, Have you ever played Red Steel? If not, just watch some clips of the way the Yakuza talk in the game.
I have the Japanese version of the game and even though they left all of the dialogue as is (English is still there and the US Version of the Japanese is there) the subtitles are REWRITTEN to how they "should" be speaking.
