It was announced yesterday that the series finale of LOST will be simulcast in the UK, on Sky1, at the exact same time that it’s going out live in the US.

Yes. For us of the British persusion, “The End” will be broadcast at 5am on Monday May 24th.

In case you missed that - 5am.

This follows a move that sees other countries including Canada, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey and Israel, securing the broadcast rights to simulcast the finale event touted as the (hopeful) TV event of the year - if not the decade.

I won’t say I’m not tempted - very, very, VERY tempted, especially seeing as how I’m a relatively early bird as it is - but realistically, I’d have to get up at, like, 4am, just so that I’m awake enough to even begin to process it all, let alone note take.

This will require much thought of the weekend, and may result in some tentative preparation just in case, including a mammoth nap on Sunday afternoon.
