anyone notice mention of Oceanic Flight 815 being shot down by (garble) subterranean (something) in second episode of Chuck? Good chance it is unrelated, since Oceanic is used (according to wiki) as a fictional airline by many tv shows, and the snapper is different networks IIRC (I think Chuck is NBC)....but still caught my ear

Yeah I saw that I did think it was cool :D

There is a big difference:

24 begins and ends in each season, without leaving any questions.

Lost leaves so many, that the gap between seasons is like between episodes ...

Nope. In 24, season two ended with an assassination attempt on Palmer and season five ended with Jack being kidnapped by the Chinese. The part of Lost's success is the mystery of the show. That's how it started from the pilot. It's much more frustrating to have an airing schedule like ABC did for season two of Lost; any sensible person would consider non-stop runs better than gaps. Besides, having it aired sooner would not tell you more than you would know when the season ends in May, you get some answers sooner. Woopy, I'd pick weekly showings over sooner answers.

That's what this thread is all about.

I wasn?t telling I like gaps.

I was only comparing Lost with 24 and why is more desperating to wait for the next season of Lost; because it leaves so many questions that it doesn't seem to have 6 different seasons, but only one with 5 big gaps in between...

Exactly.

All the other seasons began by late September or beginning of October, with almost the same number of episodes (24,23,22).

So, gaps or not in the middle, I think they could easily make 16 in the same time (1 year).

By the time we watch episode 4, season 4 shooting will be complete.

Thanks, Peewee. Hope then start shooting season 5, so we don't have to wait so much again...

Mattachew: I'm failing to explain myself so I'll keep it simple:

- I DON'T like gaps. I prefer all the season in one block, just like you.

- I was only comparing waiting for Lost and for 24.

- To avoid further questions, I am a big fan of 24 too ... (and Monk, Dr.House ...)

^ Each season will start in either January or February most likely. That's the way 24 does it and I believe that's the way ABC wants to continue to do it. I'd rather it start in Feb and we get 16 consecutive episodes than get some here and there with 6 weeks off in between.

The actors need time off to, so they can't just jump from doing season four to doing season five. They all have families and stuff that might not live on the island. Not just the actors, but the writers, directors, they all need a break. I'm happy with the way things are going, of course the one down fall to how they're doing this is that if the viewers don't like the direction they're going in, there's nothing they can do to make up for it because they'll be done filming already.

Yeah I like the fact that it starts in the Feb because as Hurmoth mentioned its a straight run then and theres no repeats or catch up shows plus theres only 16 now so they can do that with ease as other stuff are finishing.

Heroic Hurley moment coming

In the latest Lost Magazine there was a very small snippet/spoiler from Damon Lindelof regarding Hurley.

I love Hurley. He is the greatest. More heroic Hurley moments like in the finale please! Ok, that was more of a statement than a question. Do you agree?

Hell yes, I agree. And thusly, I hereby promise you one heroic Hurley moment in the season four premiere!

Sounds good!

Fisher Stevens to play Minkowski

The mysterious Minkowski, whose voice was heard on the other side of the satellite phone found by the "Lost" gang, now has a face as Fisher Stevens has been tapped to play the role on the ABC/ABC Studios series.

Stevens will recur as Minkow?ski on "Lost." The character, which was referenced several times toward the end of last season, was only heard talking to Jack (Matthew Fox) on the phone and told the survivors in the third-season finale in May that they will be rescued.

In the "Lost" fan blogosphere, the name of the character has been tied to German mathematician Hermann Minkowski, whose Minkowski space -- a four-dimensional system including the three dimensions of space plus the dimension of time -- was used in Einstein's theory of special relativity.

Stevens, who recently co-directed the critically praised documentary, "Crazy Love," is repped by Fortitude and the Collective

No doubt about where the things are going ...

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
