Lost (description for Ep 10 from tvtome): (discussion to follow)

Claire has a horrible nightmare about her new baby being harmed or kidnapped which she believes is real. Flashbacks reveal Claire's backstory of the former boyfriend that got her pregnant and abandoned her and the psychic who convinced her to take the ill-fated flight that lands her on the island. Lastly, Hurley is shocked and confused when he discovers that Ethan, another plane crash survivor, does not appear on the flight manifest.

So...is this the person JJA was referring to when he said all the survivors were not on the plane?

[Desperate Housewives] I was figuring it would be someone in the family of the chick who died. But maybe that'd be too much.

[Desperate housewives] do they count as major characters? I am hoping for Terri Hatcher's character, because she bugs me.

[Desperate Housewives] She bugs me too, but I think she'd be the last to go. I think they're more major than Edie, and more central to the mystery. Maybe it'll be Carlos.

Casting spoilers for the OC and the West Wing:

On the WW Teri Polo has been cast as Jimmy Smits wife and on the OC Kim Delaney has been cast for a few episodes as a former flame of Sandy Cohen.

That's awesome OC news. Can't wait until Thursday.

Moved over from the Lost thread:

I wonder who that could have been....?

Wasn't it the French woman?

That's what I assumed, Jessica.

That's what I was thinking too, Jess.

But does that mean the episode they previewed from next week is out of order?

Where were the mini spoilers listing the ep order?

Huh. Yeah, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, unless we don't actually find out that it was her until ep 9.
