clearly, someone didn't pause it at :27

Are they going to show repeats of the last few episodes of last season before starting the new season?

season 3 DVD is $38.99 at Amazon.com

And the reason I ask is so that I know if I have to resort to one of those options, or if I can just watch the last couple of episodes for free on my televison.

Does your computer have a video out port?

It's in a different room than my computer.

Your missing the point. If they're going to re-run the last two episodes then I'm not going to worry about other options because I'll watch them when they're broadcast. If not, then I'll get the DVD from the library, or watch it streaming on my computer.

Does any major teevee show do repeats anymore? I think that pattern is dead thanks to DVD and the demand for new content all year round. Lost was historically terrible in the ratings on repeats anyway.

yup.

at the most, they might do a recap show at 8 before it airs at 9.

niiiiiiiiiiiiice

That's definitely Jack's Dad. Whether it's the Jacob chair - not sure.

If Jack's father, Christian Shepherd, is Jacob, though, it indicates that whether this was the plan from the start, the writers might not just be going around in circles. There's been a lot of mystery around Jack's father from the beginning, even though he's not a main character.

If he somehow is Jacob and somehow drew all these people to the island, including the son who feels responsible for the father's death and the illegitimate daughter, who now has had an illegitimate son ...

Well, I don't pretend to understand all of it, but I always thought the name Christian Shepherd had to have some meaning. Now, if he some has led all these people to this island, like a shepherd, and the island has something to do with redemption, as Christ did ...

I've always looked at this show more in terms of the characters and what they mean and how they relate (in a variety of meanings) to one another, moreso than the science that may be behind at least some of the answers to what is going on in this show. And I think who/what Christian Shepherd is/represents is a, maybe "the", key element to unlocking the whole thing.

Hmmm. . . So the leader may be a "Christian Shepherd," there are no Jews on the island and the only Blacks (Michael & Walt) are conveniently "allowed" to leave on a boat to nowhere. Kinda changes my whole view of the show.

How do you know there are no Jews?

You tell me which named character is Jewish.

Well, Kate's last name is Austen, not Austin. Could that be a Jewish spelling?

Probably not.

Sawyer is one of those Jewish good old boys from the south.

Probably not.

Bernard could be Jewish.

BuddyGroom wrote:Bernard could be Jewish.

That's a good guess. Bernard Nadler, a dentist from the Bronx, was a bachelor until he was 56, then married a Black woman (Oy! Obviously waiting until his mother died!). So maybe they've kept one token Jew and one Black.

Well, this is network television. And not the CW comedy block.

Well, the occasional Jew and even one or two Blacks have been allowed to portray major characters on the major networks!

Like Sayid's not a Sephardic Jew.

He's an undercover agent for Mossad!
