Had them downloaded before 8am this morning (thanks, usenet, you rock). Cant wait to watch them later.
Just been looking over the episode names on my TV guide and episode 9 of lost is called "ab aeterno"
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ab_aeternosince the beginning of time... so whatever
"that thing followers will know about from the end of the last series" is, has been going on since forever, which is cool. Kinda got the idea of that from those eps
For ref, this guide is
http://on-my.tv/ and its excellent. You can login, setup what TV shows you want to see and theyre all displayed. Its v handy to keep an eye on if youre not sure if youve missed an ep or not. Also, you can download a .cal file and import it to your calender prog. I used to do that and sync with my phone so i got reminders.
