I'm a bit displeased that the network thinks these are the six most important characters.

I agree with you, but I think the network is trying to catch up the non-watching potential audience and those are the six characters that have gotten the most backstory or whose stories best interweave. And in that case I think they picked the right ones.

Dropping by to note that I captured the promo for next week's new episode, but I haven't had time to break it down yet. I'll see what I can do tonight.

The promo looked VERY interesting.

As though Locke had angered the Island Gods of Walkyness or something.

Whoops, I forgot that new episode next week means promo on this week's re-run. Jeff Mejia is my hero!

Jeff! You're back! Did I know that?

Have you been posting promos all along?

He has.

How did I not see them?

t is stupid

Not stupid, in New Zealand.

Search the thread for "promo breakdown."

Have you been posting promos all along?

He has.

I think only for the last few eps, actually.

Sorry for the delay, I didn't know basketball would take so long.

Yes, I've only been posting promos for the last few episodes - it took me a while to get caught up with the series.

Having said that, here is the promo for next week's new Lost episode:

Narrator: Next Wednesday...

We open on a close up of Locke standing in the jungle. He looks up into the sky as we hear the sound of an airplane.

Cut to a shot of the sky as we see a plane arcing across it, trailing smoke.

Cut back to Locke as he turns to someone, points in the sky, and says:

Locke: "Did you see that?"

Narrator: ...An all-new Lost unlike any other.

A title card flashes ALL NEW, then we see a scene in the cave. Jack and Sawyer are in the middle of the cave, facing each other, while Kate looks on from the edge. Jack is evaluating Sawyernby holding a pen up and moving it back and forth in front of his face, checking Sawyer's eyes as they track the pen.

Cut to a close up of Jack as he is doing his evaluation.

Jack: "When did the headaches start?"

Cut to a close up of Kate as she, facing sideways, glances out of her right eye towards the center of the cave.

Sawyer (OS): "A few days ago."

Cut to a shot at the beach, as we see Sawyer sitting down and leaning back onto a tree as he puts a wet cloth on his forehead.

Kate: "There might be something really wrong with him."

Cut to a close up of Jack on the beach, with the water behind him, looking concerned.

Narrator: An episode so powerful...

Fade to black, then fade in on Locke and Boone tramping through the jungle. Locke stumbles to the ground.

Switch to a shot of Boone as he reaches down to pick up Locke.

Boone: "What is wrong with you?"

Move to a close up of Locke as Boone grabs him by the arm and lifts Locke up. Locke falls back down on his back.

Locke: "This island changed me..."

Reverse to Boone as he looks incredulous.

Boone: "What?"

Reverse back to Locke, as he looks like he is about to cry, shaking his head.

Locke (almost in tears): "..and now it's trying to tack it back and I don't know why!"

Narrator: ...so profound...

Fade to black, then fade in on Boone's hand as he flips switches on some console for a radio or some other electronics.

Cut to a close up of Boone, as he speaks into a radio microphone. Electronics buzzing can be heard.

Boone: "Mayday! Mayday! Anybody out there?"

Narrator: ...it will leave you begging for more.

Cut to a shot of Locke, laying on the jungle floor, as he looks up into the sky, and edges his way backwards.

Cut bakc to Boone, shouting into the microphone.

Boone: "Please copy!"

Unknown voice (over radio, perhaps): "Hello?" (followed by electronic whines. Fade to black, then cue the Lost logo.

Cut to a shot of Boone doing a double take as the last voice is heard.

Narrator: An all-new Lost, next Wednesday at 8, 7 Central, only on ABC.

Bad Robot.
