that Tuesday February 2nd when our beloved LOST is set to premiere. Of course stupid (sorry Natalie and Stacey) American Idol starts the 26th.
A little clip from one of my favorite sources:
"According to an ABC insider, there is talk of moving the premiere to the following Tuesday (Feb. 9) if Obama sticks with Feb. 2. However, it is not an easy decision. "Steve McPherson loved the idea of launching the series on Groundhog Day [which is Feb. 2 this year]," the insider tells me. "And obviously the amount of marketing capital spent on the Feb. 2 launch is considerable."
Really ABC insider- Groundhog's Day is always February 2nd and Christmas is always December 25th, and Halloween is always October 31st.
My opinion, if it counts for anything, leave the premiere in the 26th because Fox won't show the State of the Union anyway, and it won't ruin everything! Ugh!
Do you love the new promo shot of the cast as the Last Supper? What do you think of good old Locke in the Jesus chair?

Can you update us when THEY finally decide? I know I'll have to watch it the following day via SlingBox but still. I'm planning on 2 Feb! And since when is Groundhog Day a big marketing day? Have I missed something?
I agree that they should target 1/26 because it would show the true pull of Obama. I bet he'd get spanked by American Idol in the ratings! In terms of the Lost picture I am a bit sad that it isn't REALLY Locke any more. You know?
Bigger concern - that they spend half the season "reinventing" what would have happened if the crash had never happened. We've already seen them "back on the mainland(s)". Time to stay on the island and give us some damn answers.
based on the positioning of Sawyer and the theories posed in The DaVinci Code, Sawyer = Mary Magdalene. Excellent.
