Darn! Missed the last 2 weeks. Really need to hit lotto so I can quit my job and not miss any episodes of Lost.

Or at least be able to afford one of those new-fangled recording machines ... VCRs, I think they're called.
Or a Tivo, of course.The last 2 weeks (at least) have been reruns, so if you've been watching from the beginning you didn't miss anything.

Don't have Tivo. I do have a VCR, but I've been too lazy to go to radio shack and buy RGB cables.

They are having to many reruns now.....

Yeah, bad move by the show. And when they do show an episode, it seems like a commrecial every 30 seconds. It's getting a little played out b o r i n g!

Thought I'd pass this along to all you Lost fans. Its a post I've read regarding the numbers thing on the show. Maybe you all can make some sense of it.
QUOTE
Do the following numbers constitute a series?
4 8 15 16 23 42
They are the mystery numbers in the American TV show Lost. The numbers are marked on the hatch of a mysterious, partially buried ship that crashed on the island (pictured above; see Episode 1:18), which also explains the fate of the "French chick" and her crew -- who came to the island after a distress call -- and also Hurley's rotten lottery luck, also linked to a distress call derived from the island. Clearly, the fact that the numbers are marked on the ship suggests they are not supposed to be coordinates. (Someone at one website actually interpreted them as long/lat coordinates, and found they corresponded to a site in south central Africa, which makes no sense given the location of the mystery island.)
The numbers might form some kind of series. On my own, I noticed that if you serialize the difference between the numbers, you get something sort of interesting:
4 8 15 16 23 42
-->4 7 1 7 19
The sum of the difference between numbers 1-4 is the same as the difference between 5-6. Ok, so not that exciting.
I googled the numbers, and the best speculation on how to crack the numbers is at Dodoskido. One of the commentors at that site noticed something a bit more interesting -- that it might be some kind of countdown. The commentor is, like me, using the differentials between each number and repeating the operation. But he's also canceling out the negative between positions 3 (8->15: 7) and 4 (15->15: 1), and beginning the series with 0, as "all mathematicians do."
0 4 8 15 16 23 42
4 4 7 1 7 19
0 3 6 6 12
3 3 0 6
0 3 6
3 3
0
Anyone have ideas about how (0) 4 8 15 16 23 42 might be related in terms of operations other than addition? And: is there software out there that can recognize formulae for series based on strings of numbers? I realize the ways numbers can be patterned are essentially endless, so somehow I doubt it.
My current theory is that the numbers are completely arbitrary -- no series whatsoever. That won't stop people from a) speculating madly, b) selling T-shirts, or even a website called 4815162342.com, though the latter seems like an ABC plant.

It was a rerun of the episode where Locke and the young guy find the capsule and decide to keep it a secret. The focus of the backstory is on the young guy and his sister (sorry, don't recall their names) and the... *uncomfortable* relationship they had. I hope they get back to new episodes soon!

next week is all new - they show a small airplane crashing on the island, as well as Locke falling to the ground and saying it is "taking back its powers"... Looks very good!

New show next week - it's about time.
In last night's repeat was that Sawyer that the police dragged through the office when Boone was trying to get them to arrest the guy that had (supposedly) beat up his sister?
