Diane-

Looks like you missed SciFi channel showing repeats of Lost too, also starting Monday (since this is now Wednesday, that was a couple days ago). SciFi started with a block of 4 episodes, I'm pretty sure -- and since that's how they re-ran the whole Stargate series from it's beginning (4 hours at a time on Mondays), I'd guess they're doing the same thing with Lost.

Since SciFi is on pretty much every cable systems basic cable set up it would seem like many more people would be able to see Lost there instead of G4, which I understand has a pretty minimal presence on cable systems around the country. (I could be wrong about that, but it might be interesting to know the exact numbers.)

Also, the pop-up things sound exactly like what Lost did when they showed re-runs on ABC. (The show is on ABC, right?) These were the "enhanced" episodes, probably shown when nothing else was on. Which I'm guessing is why I saw a couple of them. Doesn't seem to me you should be giving G4 credit for something that wasn't their idea or enhancement. The other thing is, I kinda have to wonder why I know this stuff -- I've seen only a handful of episodes, but I did get kind of addicted last season because this show was flat-out the funniest thing on TV (not intentionally, I don't think) -- and you don't. Are you not watching enough TV?

JimBo, I did mention the Sci Fi showing, but didn't go into detail because David Bianculli had already covered it in Monday's Best Bets. (I did let readers know that Sci Fi was offering it in high-def, for those who get the Sci Fi HD channel.)

ABC didn't do the trivia treatment for every episode, only for those they repeated as special events or to fill time during the strike.

And I only wish I weren't watching enough TV! Is it possible to watch while you're asleep?
