Lost returns Tues. Feb. 2nd @ 9 PM; no State of the Union conflict

[august]

There were rumors that the State of the Union address would be on Feb. 2nd, thereby bumping Lost's premiere, but the White House had also said Jan. 26th was another possible date, and so that's what they're going with. It's unknown if a viral fan movement to complain to the White House had any effect whatsoever. But it was big enough for the Wall St. Journal to quote Robert Gibbs saying there should be no conflict.

Damon Lindlof however posted to Twitter:

OBAMA BACKED DOWN!!!! Groundhog Day is OURS!!!!!!! (God Bless America)

Okay. So Obama didn't technically "back down." He leveraged Carlton and I to do something on the show. Two words. MORE FROGURT.

Tuesday at 9 PM Eastern will apparently be its official time for the last season.

Check out this PR cast photo (which both BSG and The Sopranos did a few years back too) - no real spoilers, unless you haven't seen seasons 4 and 5, and haven't read any interviews with Emile DeRavin in two years:



The good news is that Claire is back as a full cast member. We see Richard Alpert and new character Ilana as full cast members too, over in the far left. And that's the pilot, Jeff Fahey over on the far right.

OK, guys, within 5 minutes of my posting this, there were not 1, not 2 but 17 people, none registered, viewing this thread! Given that a few of them were search engine bots...nevertheless, not all of them could have been - they aren't that efficient.

So who are you guys?

BTW, assuming that "V" coninues on Tuesdays, this will give ABC an excuse to have a science fiction "block," and the probably hope each show will help the other.

There will be some stiff competition at first, because both the Olympics on NBC and American Idol on Fox will be airing then, and I think one of the NCIS shows is on CBS then too....
