Well others could live but not leave the island.
Yes that's pretty much a sure thing, I assume Locke stays with most of the survivors. I'm have no idea who number six will be, Jin could even still be in the running since I'm not sure if they visited a grave or just a monument at the end there. I assume if Claire left that she'd be with the baby instead of Kate. Michael's back in play too but if that was his funeral last season I think it would have attracted more press/people. If Sawyer leaves too then that leaves whatever plots still going on the island bereft of main characters. I had to look up Claire's name and wikipedia seems to think Jin is one of the six, I think they're wrong. Edit: Heh I just looked at the edits for the page and someone pointed out that Jin's death was written as the day of the crash so he's not one of the six and the wiki page is wrong. |

Michael has to be #6. They said this episode revealed all of the 6 and he is the only other one off the island. He is also the most likely candidate for the coffin in last season's finale.
EDIT: From reading around, lots of people seem to think Aaron is #6.

I thought it was weird that they brought in Zoe Bell, and just killed her off in her first episode. I guess they needed her to pull off that stunt? :\
Michael better not redeem himself. I was all set and ready for him to die horribly.

In Treatment might be one of the best TV shows I've ever seen.
This show kind of scares me. |

So we've got:
1. Jack
2. Kate
3. Sayeed
4. Hurley
5. Sun
6. Aaron (technically).
Although, would Aaron be considered a 'survivor' if he was born there?
I liked the episode alot, but I've always liked Jin/Sun plot.

Supposedly one of the lost podcasts says that neither Ben nor Aaron count to the six. I'm not listening to a podcast to verify that though.

I suspect she will play a larger role in Michael's flashbacks next week. |

The Return of Jezebel James looks promising. It's basically The Odd Couple but with two sisters. Unfortunately it's on FOX on Fridays which means it'll probably be cancelled prematurely, though with the strike this TV season they may at least show all the episodes they've made.

Any show placed in the Fox Friday Slot basically assures I will skip it simply due to the fact it will never, ever be resolved.

Not exactly TV related, but has anyone seen the movie "The TV Set" with David Duchovny. Funny shit, about the trials and tribulations of getting a pilot on air (and timeslots).

They sometimes get resolved if they get released on DVDs. Wonderfalls (which I'm still bitter about) was that way. Even though it wasn't a full season they did resolve the main story arc by the last episode. |

Time Warner just added six (or so) new HD channels. Mostly Discovery stuff, History, Science, second Discovery, Animal Planet, a couple others. History and Science are my two favorite channels. I'm stoked. Do people still say that?  |

Theres a place on your face that can save the human race, its called a smile, the positivity that it creates takes awhile, but the grin will turn an inch into a mile.

Well. at least they had warning this time. They made two season ending episodes and one of them was to end the series if they weren't renewed.

Not a surprise. It was cancelled then uncancelled when crazed fans mailed in a bunch of peanuts or something like that. Usually shows that are axed but get a reprieve thanks to rabid fans are axed again soon enough.

FUCKITY FUCK FUCK FUCKERS FUCK. Rampaging Thundercunts. While I'm not surprised, it's still a fucked decision. The fact they don't count Tivo's, Internet streaming or Itunes downloads when considering the ratings of a show tell me they are complete pigfuckers. |

I was going to say, "Or that they care about ensuring advertisers don't see how much of the content they're subsidising is being viewed without their adverts."
But then I realised that I was just paraphrasing you with more words.

Thing is, there are ads on the Jericho episodes on the Net. It's only one ad per commercial break (usually a 15-second) but advertisers are paying, and probably at a lower rate because it's a rebroadcast and not a live showing. I would hope THOSE advertisers are getting some numbers on views and click-thrus, otherwise those are some dumb motherfuckers.

It'll be a long time before networks get with the times and gauge viewer interest in these ways. I'm sure there'll be many more shows that get the shaft before that happens. It sucks, but it's pointless to bitch about. :\
Hell, they barely even factor in DVD sales or reruns. Even if the shit is mega-popular it takes a long time for them to reconsider. Look at how long Family Guy was off the air.

Has anyone been watching New Amsterdam? I just finished the pilot episode and it's looking pretty good. They've only been showing it since the beginning of the month. It must be a mid season replacement.
It's about a homicide detective in New York City who is like 400 years old because he was cursed to be immortal until he meets his one true love. It sounds stupider than it is but at least it's a change from the vampire stuff.

I thought New Amsterdam was boring as hell. It's still a step up from the craptacular Moonlight, though.

I didn't like it much, either. I wonder if they have some of these "new" shows in storage, waiting for a rainy day or something. I expect a lot of them will simply disappear when everything gets back to normal. I thought the first season of Jericho was interesting and then I lost interest. Nothing I saw in the new season changed my mind. I thought the writing, especially dialog, was pretty bad. I haven't made up my mind if Eli Stone is entertaining or if I just have a crush on Sick Boy again.

The last few months we've been so desperate for entertainment when it's telly time that we've ended up watching all sorts of rubbish. Not that the show is all rubbish... I just didn't find it very interesting. I watched it, though. Why? I was desperate! |

Mid-season replacements are usually mid-season replacements for a reason. I just read that New Amsterdam has shut down production already and is unlikely to be renewed. http://www.tv.com/new-amsterdam/show/68703/story/10324.htmlFunny bit: It was going to start at the start of the season but was bumped by "Don't Forget the Lyrics." Lol. Sounds like it was axed before it even aired. |

You talk as if being cancelled has anything at all to do with the quality of a television show.  |

This is why I don't watch TV shows. I've only started watching the reruns they are showing on sci fi and really liked it.... that's the kiss of death, sorry guys. I can't be blamed for the first cancellation though  |

I just started watching it. About 7 episodes in. Decent enough so far. Although, it's painfully obvious why Skeet doesn't get very many acting jobs. Also, the music is terrible/terribly timed.

Work well, I highly recommend you go to season 11 and watch the Imagination Land trilogy. |
