Nah, as soon as I select the file I get the microsoft error message, everything sorta shuts down and when I open up the task manager, every application becomes non responsive.

I have d/l 3 different versions of one episode and I keep getting that error, although all my other mpegs and avis work fine :roll:

According to Herc at http://www.aintitcool.com, this Wednesday's episode is a stormer, he gave it five out of five stars. The only negative thing he had to say:

"We must pity the fools who bailed on this series."

Big spoiler below so dont read the small print if you aint seen ep18 yet...but I know what the women says when she says something to Mikael...

Taken from a thread on http://www.dharmasecrets.com/forum/

she said a few things
-"Me estoy muriendo" "i am dying" spanish
-"Aiutame sto morendo" "help me, i'm dying" italian
-some chinese also meaning "i'm dying, help me"
AND
-portuguese but she did NOT say "thank you" like mikael claimed. what she said was: "Eu não estou só" that is a brazilian accent and means "I am not alone."

Still cant watch any since Ep17... gutted.

Also; taken from Yahoo entertainment.

"ABC is attempting to rescue once-hot "Lost" by ending the show in 2010. Bowing to the fact that convention isn't working for the drama about plane-crash survivors on a surreal island, the network is taking the unusual step of turning "Lost" into a limited-run series.

It will run for three shorter and uninterrupted seasons until its "highly anticipated and shocking finale" in the 2009-10 season, ABC said Monday.

The series, which saw its ratings drop this season amid complaints about scheduling, an increasingly meandering plot and unpopular new characters, still must prove itself to disenchanted viewers to survive.

"Due to the unique nature of the series, we knew it would require an end date to keep the integrity and strength of the show consistent throughout and to give the audience the payoff they deserve," ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson said in a statement.

Typically, networks milk a series until it runs dry of ratings and then drop the ax.

Last January, "Lost" producers said they were talking with the network about setting an end date.

Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have agreed to remain with the show, now in its third season, through the end, ABC said. Lindelof created the show with J.J. Abrams and Jeffrey Lieber.

"We always envisioned `Lost' as a show with a beginning, middle and end," Lindelof and Cuse said in a statement. "By officially announcing exactly when that ending will be, the audience will now have the security of knowing that the story will play out as we've intended."

A total of 48 episodes will air over the next three seasons, with 16 episodes running without a break each season in the style of Fox's "24." That will take care of viewer complaints about reruns that left them dangling.

ABC's effort to make this a two-part season for "Lost" by pausing midway to make room for another show, the quickly canceled "Day Break," also proved a flop. Serial dramas with complex plots, like "Lost" or CBS' "Jericho," have found it difficult to regain viewers after a break.

The average number of episodes for a series is 22, which isn't enough to stretch through an entire season without reruns or a hiatus.

"Lost" once drew an impressive 20 million-plus viewers as it helped raise ABC from ratings purgatory, gained cultural-phenomenon status and won the 2005 Emmy for best drama.

But in its third season "Lost" took a nose dive, with recent episodes drawing 12 million or fewer viewers. A time-slot change, to 10 p.m. EDT Wednesday, which put it up against CBS' "CSI: NY," was a factor.

Viewership numbers also don't reflect how many people save the shows on their digital video recorders to watch more than 24 hours later, and "Lost" gains viewers when the DVR audience is taken into account.

The ensemble cast includes Naveen Andrews, Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly among the survivors of Oceanic Air flight 815 and Michael Emerson as the leader of the dangerous "Others" who live on the island."


.... a bit of a wait then.

what i first heard was that they'd do 4 seasons of about 25 episodes each.

since they wrote 100 episodes from the start.

3 more seasons is way too long. I was hoping for 1 more season and an ending.

i don't know if i want to wait that long :(

Yeah totally agree Tim, I worry that in order to get three more seasons the plot will go off on a tangent and loose the initial focus of where are they, what is the island and why are they there. I feel it will become a bit too diluted and people will start to loose interest. Look at this season, ok its picked up towards the end but how many people did it loose at the start. For me four seasons and wrap it up would have been enough.

I have a huge huge favour to ask my fellow Losties...

Can anyone out there stick a few episodes through yousendit.com for me? I missed a load when I was offline and the torrents for them don't seem to be very reliable.

I'm after eps 15, 16, 17 & 18

PM me for the email to send them to ;)

Muchos Lostias!

i have them, i'd be more inclined to stick a disc in the post than try and upload them with my temperemental connection...

actually you could try here - all the links are on rapidshare.com - if you don't have a premium membership there's a waiting period between each file you can download, but if you have a dynamic ip address you may be able to get around it by rebooting your modem.
