If you look over in the side bar you will see a countdown to Season 5 of Lost. Right now it stands at 147 days. That is based on something I read that said the first show of the new season will air on Thursday, January 15th.
Because I can’t for the life of me remember exactly how things ended up at the end of season four, I do remember who was residing in the coffin, but most of the other stuff is hazy, I figured that maybe I should rewatch the last few episodes of season four before season five starts. Well, hell, if I’m going to watch some, why not all? So if there are 82* episodes so far, if I back up 82 days from January 15th I should start a single episode a night on Saturday, October 25th. Let’s stretch it out a bit more…how about watching one episode each weeknight? Five gazinta 82, 16 times with a remainder of 2. That gives me a start date of Tuesday, September 23rd. Let’s take a day off between finishing watching season 4 and the start of season 5, for party planning, and start watching the show on Monday the 22nd. That even has a nice symmetry because the show originally premiered on September 22, 2004.
So every weeknight from 9/22/2008 until 1/13/2009, including Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years, I will watch an episode of Lost. I’ll use the title of that episode as the title of that night’s post and if I’m really creative I’ll relate something in that episode to something that happened that day.
*Lostpedia list 82 episodes while Wikipedia lists 83 because they count last season’s finally as two separate episodes. I think that if they aired on the same night, one after the other with no credits between them they are one episode, so I’m treating it as such. Eighty-two it is.
