They pushed NA back to March? Gah!

[N4H]

Great news.

Jeez...for us genre geeks that's a better lineup than the fall premiers were.

[Vilandra]

I know, right? lol

It did seem like in the fall that all the stuff we were really excited for was pushed back.

[prydain]

I'm so glad that Eli Stone is premiering after Lost. :)

[Vilandra]

I'm just glad it will be on after Supernatural lol

[prydain]

Supernatural will be out of new episodes by then.

BTW New Amsterdam has been moved to Mondays! Sci Fi Wire posted it, it hasn't been posted to this site yet though. This is good news. :)

[Vilandra]

I just meant for the future ;) And :p you could have posted the article here lol - it has posted now and I moved it into the NA forum :)

Hey, and I see they're sneak peeking the Sarah Connor pilot tomorrow online, via Yahoo. I still gotta catch it.

It is SOOOOOO good GB :D

[goldenboy]

Hey, Lost and Eli Stone—tonight.

[N4H]

Yeah I watched the 2 hour recap of Lost with the pop-up subtitles last night, and I'm all hyped to find out who's in the coffin, who's Kate with in flashforward, and how they get off the island, or if they really do.

I'll stick around for Eli Stone too.

EditOh wait, I wanna do a guess on Lost... Sawyer's in the coffin. Kate's with Ben.

[teentitan]

Well after last nights version of "pop-up videos" Lost style I would have to guess that the man in the coffin would be Michael. The pop-up said the rumour is it is a man from NY who moved to LA and wasn't Michael from NY?
BTW I thought this pop-up thing was a waste of time. There was only a couple of 'gems' but the rest was like thanks for the stating the obvious and making me read what I would have watched if I wasn't wasting my time reading. Sort of a bastardized closed caption.

Exclusive: Lost Finds Post-Grey's Berth!

The writers' strike may end up being the best thing that ever happened to Lost.

ABC is said to be finalizing a post-strike spring schedule that not only hands Lost its best available time slot, but promises to further strengthen the network's stronghold on Thursday night.

According to multiple sources, ABC plans on airing this season's final five* Lost episodes on Thursdays at 10 pm/ET beginning in late April, where it will follow all-new episodes of Grey's freakin' Anatomy! Throw in fresh installments of Ugly Betty at 8 pm and you've got yourself the most formidable one-two-three punch since the early days of CBS' Survivor/CSI/Without a Trace smashup. Creatively speaking, I'd go so far as to say this rivals NBC's storied Must-See-TV juggernaut back in the '90s.

And I haven't even gotten to the best part.

The best part is that I'm hearing that ABC is strongly considering keeping this dream lineup intact this fall... and beyond.

I don't know about you, but this almost makes up for ABC's mishandling of [insert any number of show titles here].

* This just in: I'm now hearing that Lost's final arc may consist of six episodes, not five. No, Team Darlton isn't making an extra episode this season. Rather, the final installment of the current run (aka Episode 8) will likely be held to kick off the final batch of five. According to my spies, Episode 7 makes for a better, more logical, break. Discuss....
