Page 1 of LOST on Sky One - No Spoilers please

Watched the first 2 episodes on Sky last night of the 3rd season. Now, as I understand it they are on episode 6 in America and it doesnt return until February. So are Sky going to have a break aswell? If so does anyone know if they will then show it in February in line with America?

Yes - Sky will show the first six episodes up until Christmas then there will be a break til early February. We`ll then get the following episodes 4 days after they are broadcast in the states.

I loved it
ditched Torchwood to stay up late
Brilliant :D

The hour long `explanation` before was brilliantly done. :D
Annoying that the 118118 ad`s are still there. :(
I still fast forward the `flashback` sequences to get to the `meat` of the episodes. ;)

What is the point of the flashbacks ??

Seriously,I find it just as enjoyable without them. :/

I`ve raised this point in the USA thread, I actually lose interest in the flashbacks now. I reckon that when the whole thing is done they will be able to do a fan edit of the show and cut out at least 50% of the flashbacks.

My DVD collection

one query why was Jack married to that woman from Boston Legal?

and did you see the trailer for 24-weirdy beardy Jack looked a bit like on of the Others!

The flashbacks strike me as nothing but padding.
Maybe the actual storyline is thinner than we think.

I quite like the flashbacks tbh I think it helps the audience to understand many of the choices the characters make on the island and why certain things effect them. for example, SPOILER:
the stuff with Jack`s Dad last night and it looking like he blames himself for his Dad going back on the drink and ultimately dieing. You wouldnt get that if it wasnt for the flashbacks.
I think its very clever how they flesh out the back stories each year without effecting the whole story

^^ Exactly what Bezza said, the flashbacks are the key to every episode... there are so many episodes where you simply couldn`t know what was really going on without watching the flashbacks as the events in the episode usually correlate somehow to an event in that character`s past, a good example being that Locke was in a wheelchair, which you wouldn`t have a clue about if you skipped the flashbacks.

Admittedly, some of the flashbacks are rubbish... mainly Charlie`s.

Key ???
In what way was last night`s flashbacks key ?? :/
I must be missing something,because they`re nothing but an annoyance to me.
