I'd like to live-blog Lost, but we just lost our power here at home, right when the show was starting.
Wait, the power's back on. We'll see. I don't know what I missed.

Random Lost question but it's bugging me so I thought I'd ask.
Is Richard truly immortal/non-aging? Or does he just bounce around in time?
I won't be live-blogging the show tonight, but feel free to discuss it in the comments thread.
If any of you Thinklings feels the live-blogging bug, go for it!

The sidebar* to Chuck Klosterman's article in the May Esquire makes some good, troubling points about our favorite show.
For three seasons the ABC series "Lost" used flashbacks to illustrate elements of the narrative the audience never saw. Now they've gone the other way; now they're consistently using flash-forwards to show pats of the story we haven't yet experienced. It's made the series even more interesting than it already was. But something keeps occurring to me: Isn't this a dangerous move on behalf of the producers? They seem to be giving its central cast members the strongest negotiating leverage in TV history.
Let's say the actor who plays Sayid (Naveen Andrews) suddenly decides to ignore his current contract. Let's say he demands twice as much money as he's scheduled to receive and won't show up for work without it. What could ABC possibly do? They can't just feed him to the smoke monster and write him off the show; we already know he definitely exists in an abstract tomorrow. By actively showing the future, the screenwriters have relinquished their ability to control the present. An even greater (and admittedly morbid) problem would be accidental death: What if Michael Emerson (the actor who portrays Ben) died in a car accident? Would the show simply have to end? How could his absence be reconciled? There is no "News Radio" option for "Lost." Not any more.

Not sure what interest there is in talking about this week's episode, but I thought I'd provide a forum anyway. I wasn't able to live-blog this week as we weren't near the combination of TV and computer necessary to do so when the show aired.
Just saw it.
Talk amongst yourselves. My brief thoughts below.

You asked for it so here it is.
The Lost Thread.
OK, my wife and I had to watch this from the DVR recording and the last few seconds cut off. PLEASE, someone tell us what happens after Ben says, "Your instinct was right John." Because then AAAARRRRRGGGG our recording ended.
C.S.Lewis is now on the island and she is a chick.
In which . . .

Jack and Tom Brady are brothers.
Wait -- has anyone ever seen them together?
It would make total sense if Brady was the result of an island-based genetic experiment in creating a superman by the Dharma Initiative.
Stoked about "Lost" premiering tonight. We have friends coming over for a little par-tay, so I won't be live-blogging this go-round.
I really want to know who was in that coffin!
Anyone watching the season three finale right now?
Heh - I forgot how cool this show is.
What do you think of the little helpful pop-up notes?
Update: I also forgot about Jin, Sayid, and Bernard being such tough hombres. They probably tripled the Losties to Others bodycount ratio in the space of about thirty seconds.
Update 2: Also, Charlie is the bomb-diggity.
Update 3: Matthew Fox is acting the heck out of this episode. His "walkie" conversation with Tom is priceless.
The season premier of "Lost" is rapidly approaching. Maybe Bill and I will resume our dueling live-blog viewings. :-)
Check out this print ad for the new season. Notice anything interesting in the water's reflection?
Finally, a full blown Lost trailer with new clips and new clues as to what is going to happen in the upcoming season.
"Some will leave the island"
"Some will not"
"We have to go back, Kate. We have to go back!"
I'm giddy. I'm so giddy.
**UPDATE**
Quaid's "hype" trailer:
I've been sick, and I've been spending my time doing a little reading and some DVD watching. So far I've gone through a couple of random episodes of Lost season two.
I came across an interesting exchange between Locke and Ben, back when Ben was being held hostage in the hatch armory. It went something like this:
Locke: You've been here, God knows how long!
Ben: God doesn't know.
Locke: Excuse me?
Ben: God doesn't know how long we've been here, John. God can't see this island any more than the rest of the world can.
I don't know if this is really a legit Season 4 trailer or not, but it's piqued my interest. If the whole "defend the island or die" thing is accurate, that's a pretty good hint toward the direction they'll be going in Season 4.
