"Lost" Tonight!

Program note: We will be liveblogging the season premiere of "Lost" tonight. Well, technically, Choire will. I'll be too busy mourning the death of Hurley to be anywhere near a computer. Anyway, see you here a bit before nine!

1) That shit starts at 8, bitches. Or at least, the "LOST Season Premiere Event" does.

2) I have fucking class from 8:10 - 10:40. How do I get my hands on LOST as soon as possible after that? Challenges: No DVR, No VCR.

That hour-long recap shit can totally bite me.

That doesn't help me watch LOST before the internet attacks me with spoilers.

Is it imperative that you acquire the episode legally? If so, wait until they post on abc.com, sucka! If not, you know what to do.

Legality has never been my strong point. I do know what to do, but I do not know which source would be fastest.

Here's my problem. Actual TV is not too functional; gets only NBC, PBS and channel that runs nothing but Olympics. Was going to friend's house (driving, it's the suburbs) but now we are due to get 3-6 inches of snow this fine evening? I would say eff it, but last time they said we were getting six inches WE GOT EIGHTEEN.

It's funny since I don't actually care what happens to any of the characters. I just want to be amused for ~80 minutes and not have it be all spoilery.

Do you think it will be streamed in any reasonably watchable fashion on justin.tv? It's sometimes useful.

Is there a difference between "NBC" and "channel that runs nothing but Olympics"?

I am really honestly curious about how people enjoy reading liveblogs of TV shows while watching the TV shows also? Like, isn't it really, really distracting? Especially with a show like Lost (!!!!!) where every two seconds there is some kind of !!!!!! moment? I love Choire's writing style? and I want more of it? but I wonder how it could make my viewing of the awesomeness of Lost tonight better? Please, someone explain this to me?

(these question marks signify how "lost" I am regarding this issue)

oh I totally agree. I actually strongly dislike live blogs except for really, really boring events like the Grammys or what have you, and even then, meh. I would probably come back and skim Choire's live blog later.

I have no IDEA. It's actually, on my part, a conceptual project??? I am sort of infatuated with the idea of live-blogging, and I want to see what can be done?

Tonight might just be comment-live-blogging? Or it might be unrelated to the actual TV show?

Choire Sicha

Actually speaking of conceptual projects?

This is pretty impressive:

I have been working on a memorial tribute to Hurley, dubbing every single one of his scenes onto a single 8 hour VHS, SLP mode. It is nearly complete--only lacking his death mask. I just hope they don't pull any of that time travel business because I am just about out of tape.

Wah. I've seen more episodes of Lost than I've seen 2009 Academy Award Best Picture Nominees, but only like, four more. Feel hopelessly out of it. Psyched to watch last night's epi of Kell on Earth on my DVR tho! h8u for not liveblogging THAT, Choire.

Choire Sicha

Oh yeah, we were too busy at the premiere party somehow to mention it on the site?? (HA, I KNOW.) Which is a weird omission. But I didn't really have anything to say! It was kind of funny, and dark? I think there were some Housewives there.

Anybody see Bourdain last night? He drank a lot of beer. With nihilists.

Maura Johnston

Last night's "24" had a gratuitous (and vaguely character-driven) closeup of Mary Lynn Rajskub's skirt-clad posterior.

It was not the creepiest Male Gaze Moment of the night!

I will be on board for this event, but only until the man and cat with whom I will be sharing a couch grow tired of it. So um, pithy commentary for two minutes?

MisterHippity

Ok, I've been know to enjoy a good live-blog every now and then, but ... Lost? For me, viewing Lost requires so much focused, rapt attention that I can't bear to be distracted by anything else - even a live-blog by Choire, which I just know will be awesome.

Maybe I'll swing by as soon as the episode is over, though, for the post-show commenting party?

Yes! I agree with this.

Never having seen a single episode of LOST, I just have one question: would it make me less stupid?
