From a slo-mo replay, it looked like Mr. Reyes was doing some sort of perp walk.

I really love those "blink and you miss them" moments of "Lost". Which makes me think the DVD set is going to be really something special.

While I'm thinking about it, and with each episode, I am reminded more and more of "Myst". Both have "you" on an island trying to figure out how you got there, and what happened, and layers of unreliable information.

Albeit with fewer logical puzzles, more violence and hotties in skimpy clothing.

I loved the towel image. Early, we see Jin try to cover up his wife with the towel. Then at the end, she's standing at the water's edge and lets the ocean breeze pull it from her like a flag. Beautiful.

Mike, since we're divving up all the stuff, you get the towel, I get the image of Sun. Okay?

I really think that Lost gets better with every episode. It is just so well written. It just has all these different levels to it. It's a good thing I tape them because you have to watch them more then once to get it all and even then I still miss things. How could have missed Hurley on the TV? I have to watch it again now. Speaking of Hurley, I am a bit disappointed that his character hasn't been featured yet.

According to the official ABC "Lost" site:
Next Episode:
Wednesday, March 2, 8/7c
"Numbers"
When Hurley becomes obsessed with the French woman and heads into the jungle to find her, Jack, Sayid and Charlie have no choice but to follow. Meanwhile, Locke asks Claire to help build a mysterious item.

This is written by David Fury, who wrote "Walkabout".

For the Hurley on teevee scene, it is the first time Jim goes to say his father-in-law is displeased, it is about five seconds.

I fully expect next week's episode to be on par with "Walkabout."

As for the DVDs, TV Guide has already hinted at what we can look forward to:

It's coming out in early September, and I predict it'll be the biggest TV DVD of the year. Lost cocreator Damon Lindelof tells me that they have an "amazing amount" of extras planned, including "awesome commentaries," deleted scenes between Locke and Hurley, Sawyer and Charlie and Locke and young Walt; footage of the Boeing 747 being cut up in the Mojave Desert and transported via barge to Hawaii; and a look at what went into making the original polar bear sequence. But here's the best part: Lindelof says he and J.J. Abrams are considering making an original mini-movie that "answers one of the questions we've been asked very frequently about the show but have made no attempt to answer so far. It has something to do with why the plane may have crashed." Like me, the exec thinks "the DVD is gonna sell really well with or without [the bonus material], but I wanna be sure the fans are rewarded for their $39.95 or whatever Disney is charging them for a show they've already seen."

is "Lost" a morality play about getting one final chance to prove one's worth? Sort of "I know what you did in purgatory last sumnmer?"

That could be close to the mark, but it remains to be seen if those who do prove their worth will be rewarded for it.

Scott, that DVD set sounds great. I was watching Lost tonight and was thinking that this is one show I'm definitely going to pick up when it hits DVD. Nice to know that there'll be plenty of great extras on there to keep me busy.

Is anyone else shocked at how well this show is doing in the ratings? Usually when I love a new show, it gets horrible ratings and is canceled straight away. But everyone is watching this. It's very strange, but very rewarding.

Eric, you must know what I'm talking about.

Joel, I've often had the same experience, Brimstone and Cupid being the most recent.

Joel - You know that I do. That's why I'm doubly glad I invested time into watching it during its first run.

Due to a crazy schedule, lack of TiVo (and HBO), and poor skills with the old VHS recording device, I often wait until shows I hear are great are packaged onto DVD. This season, the only fictional show I make sure I get in front of the TV to watch is Lost.

Of course, I've missed about five eps so far, including this past week (brother-in-law in town for one night, huge restaurant convention in town, got to find out that stuff actually exists -- including fancy restaurants -- in downtown LA, etc.).

Keeping on this tangent: anyone know of a DVR device that somehow avoids paying a monthly fee? The only one I know about is TiVo's "lifetime" deal, which only extends through the life of the box... which seems a little risky/shady.

Eric- many cable companies are begining to offer DVR-enabled cable boxes at only a slight premium from regular service. I had mine switched out earlier this year and pay only about $5 more a month than I was w/o DVR.

Thanks Scott. I believe my cable company offers that kind of service... but it would require bumping up from the $14 / month for super basic cable to the $40 / month or so for the "bronze" package. Quite a difference!

There are only two ways I know of to use a PVR without having to pay the monthly fee, neither of which are great solutions.

One is you can actually buy them and not subscribe, you just have to program in the day and time you want recorded by yourself, like a VCR. It would certainly work, but you lose much of the convenience.

The second is to make up your own box--basically build a cheap and basic computer--and load up the free Myth TV software. But you'd have to be fairly well-versed in computers and it would probably cost as much as a Tivo with a lifetime subscription (something which I agree is a shady deal).

What is the song at the end of the episode. www.abc.com says there wasn't any music, yes thee was! please e-mail me if you know

Damien Rice

Delicate - Damien Rice

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?
