If you're a sports fan, then you definitely have heard Al Trautwig's distinctive voice. Whether he's anchoring tennis coverage during the US Open or hosting the pregame show for the Knicks on MSG, it really doesn't matter what the guy is talking about - you can't help but pay attention to him. I'm a diehard Celtics fan, absolutely despise the Knicks, and still tune in for Trautwig's Knicks pre-game show. The guy is good.

For people that aren't huge sports fans, you'll probably remember Trautwig for his coverage during this past summer's Olympics. NBC used him for tons of stuff, including all of Michael Phelps' swimming events their gymnastics coverage.

Anyway, when he isn't calling a game, Al Trautwig is a huge Lost junkie. Apparently someone at MSG Network caught on and now you can see all of Al's theories in a weekly video podcast.

If you've read the comments section of our review of last night's episode of Lost, you'll see that a lot of viewers noticed a mysterious figure lurking in the shadows in the scene where Sun and Frank meet Christian. Now there are a couple of freeze frames that give a closer look.

I have to admit that I didn't see this when I watched the episode live, though I wasn't looking for it. Was it available to everyone or just those watching it in HD? The pic above doesn't really reveal anything. It just looks kinda like a blob. I didn't record the episode so I can't check it. I tried to go to ABC's site but I can't access it right now for some reason. Sigh.

Here's another look at the scene. Still can't tell too much. What do you think? Was it Claire? Charlotte? Someone else? Some filming mistake we weren't supposed to see?

We've had two weeks to stew on the events of "LaFleur" and maybe that's why I went into "Namaste" expecting so much more. That isn't to say that I was disappointed with the Oceanic Six/Left Behinders reunion. The simplest way to put it is that the nature of the narrative on Lost has forced the show to change so that these are the types of stories that are most organic to the plot now.

The flashbacks from the first few seasons are a distant memory at this point, and it's exciting because for a while now, we've been watching stuff that didn't already happen. Well ... technically it did since they're all in 1977 now, but you get what I mean. One thing is for certain - no matter how you slice it, three years is a long time.
